I agree that it does explain their decisions to a degree, but it doesn't excuse their unwillingness to adapt their business model to the 21st century and the way these products would be optimally bought and sold.

I understand the logistics of why the manufacturers and stores behave the way they do. But what I don't understand is why they don't even try to do better. As ThunderDan19 says, there is this thing called technology. Stores stock and restock toys in the same manner they do cans of soup, and...

Nice! I keep looking at your shots thinking how they'd look with some dynamic lighting. I bought a couple of these cordless RGB video lights from PixeL to give my photos some ooomph. You could set them on top of some frosted plexiglass used as a ceiling, and you'd have some really cool...

That's odd, it's just a jpeg. There shouldn't be any other files unless you saved the whole webpage the full-size version is posted on. Hmmmmm. I sent mine to walmart photo to get printed, as I can't print large stuff at home either. My wife had to argue with the clerk that it wasn't...

I put several features in there that I can tell my file apart from any mashup someone else might put together. I find it flattering that people like it enough that no one bothers to make their own.

Nice, hahahaha! Who do you think made that hybrid-image widescreen background file in the first place?! It's definitely made the rounds, as I see it in pics all over the interwebs now. http://teletraanone.com/index.php/2017/02/02/transformers-backgrounds/

She's a pygmy... And how does the (supposed) 4" figure look substantially better than the (supposed) 6" figure?! The 1:18 figure has a little muscle tone, a b-cup, and nice facial details. The 1:12 is derpy, flat, and crosseyed. WTF mattel!

No doubt that covid delaying the SE movie screwed up their plans for the line, so they're scrambling for product, hence the slight repaints. But it still vexes me that they once again underestimated the demand for Joe, and the more ARAH they make it, the more fans like it. We need to engrave...

It's my understanding that he bought them from hasbro for little-to-nothing, as they had no plans for items with those names. Other people have speculated that Hasbro let the trademarks lapse and he snatched them up, but I don't think that's correct. Being a former hasbro guy that still seems...

There are plenty of CoD guys with fatigue pants and caps. Newer CoD figures have removable headgear, so you can swap the cap onto a different noggin with sunglasses or a beard or whatever you're after. And there exists a CoD torso with a buttonless shirt. These things come in every military...

I have no doubt. I just hope they're not some wild repaint like Python Patrol or something useless, just a nice basic slight variant of the exclusive version. There are (supposedly) pics already floating around of a version with some red on the boots that is speculated to be the mass-release...

These are the most ARAH figures in the line so far and easily my favorite despite historically liking blueshirts much more than vipers. I'm not just saying that b/c these are the new hotness, they're really fantastic. Hopefully they'll release him again in a much broader fashion than the...

Agreed. If you own a 3D printer, you could probably make both sides of the hallway for way less than $50. I have some awesome SW playset parts made out of masonite. 6-8 years ago, a guy with a laser cutter he used for work was designing and selling limited quantities for charity or his kid's...

It's $50 for 16" of floor and one side of the hallway. The problem is that most of the marketing photos show you these super awesome setups, and it's much later you realize they used 3-4 sets per photo. That kind of soured me on the whole endeavor until they get much cheaper. It feels very...

Very nice! I want 2-3 of them, but I'm not willing to pay MSRP. It's just too much. Hopefully they'll get cheaper down the road. If not, I'll just admire your pics :)

I completely agree, 100%. I just couldn't give him that stupid future-gun that he came with. I have a MAC-10 I was going to outfit him with, but the handle is a bit big for his hands and I didn't want to wrestle with it. I have a 3d printed version of his classic gun coming, but I didn't want...

I fully admit that I overpaid for Cobra Island Firefly, but I really wanted to get my hands on him so I could modify that stupid EOD vest and make him a little more "classic" looking. ;)

The HISS is odd beyond it's obvious impractical design. It's supposed to be a high-speed tank (oxymoron?), but I always loved when in the cartoon or comics when it was drawn bigger, much larger than the joe-scale proportions of the '83 toy, like some kind of lumbering beast. That's why when I...

It's obviously impractical for the real world, but I like the design, big and imposing, almost looks like a snake about to strike. But that's my nostalgia-goggles talking.

I saw a slew of HISS tanks too, no AWE Strikers until I looked on the top shelf where they were all stashed. Like they put half the case on the shelf and didn't realize there was more than one SKU in the case or something.
