Yo Joe June can't come soon enough... I've been back to lusting over hot wheels fer-petes-sake. There's only so many Rodger Dodgers and Dixie Challengers one man can own!

It's almost as if they have zero concept about the point or execution of escapist fantasy movies/books/toys. The last thing any SW fan wants to see is a blurring of the lines between the nightly MSDNC agenda and the eternal battle against the galactic empire. The blurb on this toy is, "Meet...

Don't forget to order your LGBTQIA+UVXYZ... (checks notes).... R2 droid? :rolleyes: (no, this is NOT from the Babylon Bee...) :sick:

You're probably right. I think that is a direct result of the disney purchase. SW became just another IP to be squeezed for every nickel rather than a work of art to be appreciated. To be sure, if Lucas still owned it, he'd probably have just made a different mess out of it (I can't blame...

I really enjoyed the Thrawn trilogy... anything by Zahn really, and the first dozen or so post-Jedi books were quite good (with a couple of clunkers). But much of the fun of the SW universe was the mystery. There was no way to know it all, and around every corner, there was something new...

You pretty much have to be that way these days. If you didn't watch anything with actors who had the lefty mind virus, there would be nothing to choose from this side of the Daily Wire. But when it comes to Disney and SW, I generally have a higher standard. Mando WAS good. I enjoyed it. But...

I agree with you. I assure you, I'm not angry... just disappointed. When someone says "Star Wars", my mind doesn't go to that magical place and time far far away... it goes to the mess that they've made of it. Thus the reason I simply put it all away, so I don't think about it. I cannot...

(I just don't think I love SW anymore. I may want a franchise divorce.) TL;DR I think it'll sell, unlike the last few SW HasDisasters. But yeah, it's very expensive for a display or photo setup. The irony is, five years ago, I'd almost certainly have backed this project. In the interim...

It came with cardboard bits as a "stretch goal"... of course it failed! I still love 1:18th... but outside of $30 JoyToy, they no longer exist. I'm just living in the real world ;)

Are we talking 4" cantina or 6" cantina? I've never been tempted by a SW hadlab so far, but a 6" bar where my MLs and Joe's could go slumming would be epic. 4"... meh.

Just ordered a couple of el-cheapo 1/12 RC trucks off AE with the hopes of making them into dirty, broken down sandbox technicals. It'll take them a month to arrive, if they ever do, but we'll see. Cobra got a HISS and a flightpod, Joe got a VAMP and a Dragonfly, so I figured my middle-eastern...

I saw them at one of my WM, and I picked up the Duke despite having several already. I think he's 10000% better than the W1 figure. My only complaint is that he looks a little young. I might put the W1 head on him and use the retro head for a different character like Short-Fuze or something...

Trying to make a more accurate OG Tunnel Rat. The black pants and lack of clod shoes makes all the difference to me.

So the Cobra missile system arrived today. The vehicle, like everything else at this scale, is yuuuuge. The missiles attach nicely, the whole thing is well-built. The tongue can change positions depending on the hitch height of the towing vehicle. The whole thing is pretty impressive, and...

I'm hoping that the rules will go back to the way they were... 200 sales transactions or $20k, whichever comes first. If you're not doing that much, you're not operating a business. You're a garage sale... at best. I blew through the limits in 2014 and had to scour paypal records, emails...

It all comes down to the burden of proof. I don't know how anyone is supposed to know what they paid for a collectible 15-20 years ago. Made money, lost money, how would I know, how would the IRS know? But if I have to prove it to keep from getting hit with a big stab, I'm not sure how that...

Nice on the sale! I don't think I can ever divest myself of 4" Joe, even if it is no longer my preferred scale. I have probably 4k figures between vintage o-ring, new-sculpt o-ring, and 25th/ROC/POC/etc. And a whole storage unit full of vehicles. It pains me to think how much work that would...

While he's definitely not a favorite character of mine in Joe lore (I don't recall him being fleshed out in any meaningful way ever), the Big Boa classified figure is undoubtedly badass. I just got my "office" copy, and I am reminded how menacing he is. The helmet, the spikey harness... in...

I hear you. My boxes go to the office... and my mother can't resist making some kind of comment every time.

Yeah, same here... I'd leave stuff in the PoL so long that half of it would go on sale, and I'd end up canceling and reordering. Of course they put a stop to that, only allowing you to cancel for two weeks... and I can't blame them. And I'd still leave stuff in the pile forever just to save on...
