    G.I. Joe Classified Series (1:12)

    A lot of people will pick up baroness b/c she was so hard to get originally... or the people who really didn't want to pay for the goofy bike, and this version doesn't have the gold accents. So I can see her being popular *enough*. And the GH retro repaint will be super popular, IMO. Anyone...

    Today, I got to be the jerk who left nothing but Gung-Ho on the pegs! :pirate: Got to WM early after dropping off the kids at school and found them restocking the blue isles, laid claim to 2x AV and 2x BAT. The cherry on top is that they all rung up at $17.00..... no doubt WMs attempt to get...

    Just in case there is anyone like me looking for Mega-scaled pickup trucks, I have found at least one option. Most brick trucks are tiny and would barely hold a lego figure, or they're massive technic-esque behemoths that are hugely out of scale for 1/28-1/32 mega figures. However, I found...

    Nice! MSRP was $199, and according to my email archives, I paid $139, so I definitely don't feel bad about buying it. TRU was always good about putting the big sets on sale pretty regularly. But knowing what it goes for now, I would feel bad about busting it open just for shits and...

    I didn't like serpentor - or the bulk of the '86 class - as much as the earlier characters, but as toys, I still liked Joe the best. I still hate Sgt Slaughter and the way he dominated the toon making all the cool Joes look like lazy chumps. WTF mattel! I loved TFs from the beginning, and...

    I just like that cobra's scientific mastermind is a deranged dentist. I never liked that he took over Destro's role in the cartoon as the #2 baddie, but in the comic, his role was a bit more differentiated, as was Destro's. While never my favorite character, I feel he's essential in a world...

    G.I. Joe Classified Series (1:12)

    Mindbender revealed. Good news is he comes with a lot of goodies. Bad news is that those goodies push him into "deluxe" territory, so we'll likely be paying an extra $10-12 for them. He looks pretty badass though, not sure anyone could ask for him to be more "classic" in design. Also note on...

    I still haven't built that hovercraft. The longer it sits sealed in that box, and the higher the secondary prices get, the more I assume I'll never be able to justify opening it. There is exactly one unopened hovercraft on ebay for under $500... and I can't convince myself that I'll get $500...

    They've stopped making virtually any sets over $29, and they've all but given up on the CoD franchise aside from those one-figure crates that DG sells for $12. Only Halo gets "big" sets now, and even then, they're really medium sized (600-1000 pcs), and you have to order them online. Good luck...

    I prefer the smooth look. That's one thing I really like about Mega, they really go out of their way to minimize having a ton of rando exposed studs. I'd buy one of these if I could get it in navy blue...

    Found the dreaded gung-ho that is the tell-tale sign of a case of BAT/AV's that is long gone, like some kind of taunting FOMO ghost. Damn. I'm tired of waiting for BBTS and Dorkside. They claim their stock isn't due until June, but it seems like every source except the ones I ordered from...

    Takara Transformers

    My kids enjoyed the Netflix voltron series, and the boy even collected the lions from that one, as well as the giant lego voltron. Living in the boonies and only having cable at my dad's office, I never saw a lot of those japanese shows that aired over here in the 80's. Robotech/Macross...

    It looks cool, Med did a good job. I love the SW cantina bar playset parts. I gave all of those to the kids, but I might reclaim them now that they're starting to not give two shakes about toys anymore... The random non-SW figures throw me off though. Cyborg from Teen Titans and the alien...

    My son still has my original '85 chunky-monkey JetFire. It makes me smile every time I see him up on top of the dresser watching over the boy.

    The JSI/Merit Harrier?! I assume that would sell for way more than any Valk, even a spiffy metal one.

    The one I have is a Yamato 1/60 v2 that I bought to go with my CHUGs... all of which I sold, so he's an orphan in my collection. Sounds like you have a cool piece, especially if you paid under $200 for it. These days, I don't see any 1/48 DX Valks for less than $400-500. That must have been...

    1/60th VF-1S? Bandai with Strike parts? Very nice. Is it a recent edition? I know some of the ones produced about ten years ago had serious shoulder-breakage problems. I have one of those, still in the box, and I think it's the generation just after the shoulder correction. I had plans to...
