    1:18 armed pickup truck

    Yeah, a pieced together toyota would be more than ok in that setting. Tangos in some of those countries are just cobbling together anything they can find. But having extensively driven an '80, '86, '91, and '08 toyota 4x4, I know those body styles well. The company didn't adopt the oval logo...

    Super 7 GI Joe

    Gentle Giant did some nifty 12" replicas of '82 ARAH joes, and I'd have been all over them except they were straight-arm. WTF Mattel. If you're going to make 12" replicas of 80's Joes, they better as f#$% have swivel arm battle grip. Otherwise, they're going to look just as retarded when you...

    1/18th Scale Stug IV

    Sweet... but I think I'd rather have the SR-71! Wonder what he charges...

    1:18 armed pickup truck

    I'm jealous that you were able to find a 1:18th toyota pickup (unless that's a custom). I've been looking for one of those for years to make a technical out of. But that one is odd, as it it seems to have an early 2000's front end, a mid-80's cab, and bed from the late 70's, all with low...

    Can anyone ID this GI Joe part?

    It's a ski-missile (sans ski) from the Snow Cat except it's green instead of being yellow. I can't think of what vehicle used a green version of that missile, but the mold definitely originated as an '85 Snow Cat armament. EDIT: Just finished reading your post more carefully. Yes, it's a ski...

    Halo Pelican Inbound (msrp $150) available for $95 (down to $120 plus an on-page $25 amazon digital coupon). Pretty solid deal. I already had one but grabbed a second, couldn't pass it up. Amazon.com: Mega Construx Halo Infinite Vehicle - Pelican Inbound, Multicolor, GNB28: Toys & Games

    I assume they'll show up here eventually, but I appreciate the offer. If they don't show up, I'll put out a call.

    Inside the Toy Biz

    Agreed, ignorance of basic business concepts is rampant. It's baffling.

    Inside the Toy Biz

    That first video is a good primer for basic production of goods. However it pains me to think that the concepts of sunk/fixed/variable costs are not common knowledge, especially in the mostly-adult-male universe of toy collecting. There should not be a person in this country that gets out of...

    I want that shirtless guy from Borderlands in the newest heroes wave so I can use the noggin for some HL2 Combine Troopers.

    It is just some kind of cosplay.

    But in all seriousness, that's a good dio setup. You should do one of Tiananmen Square.

    extreme-sets dioramas

    It's a little odd. That door that the dart board is on sits substantially lower than the restroom door. I wonder if something was cut wonky?

    Pardon the Dust

    He sold our preview button and emojis for hookers and blow. Someone alert Q, I smell conspiracy! (insert broken laughing emoji here)

    extreme-sets dioramas

    Stupid question, but are you sure you got the 1:18th version? They seem to specialize in 1:12 scale sets, so maybe you got the larger one? If so, you can send it to me ;)

    extreme-sets dioramas

    I bought the cabin to add to my pile of sets, but I haven't opened it up yet. These things take up so much space...

    Pardon the Dust

    I think your update broke the vote counting in several swing states. When you look into it, have the system flag any truckloads of 100% biden votes as "questionable".

    Legends of the West Kickstarter

    Yeah, I bought the bartender from the first KS... but the only one that I would be interested in from the new batch would be the Mestre' De Camp... and there is zero chance this is getting to $383k to unlock him... bummer.

    G.I. JOE - Retro Series

    The retro re-releases are a nice side-line for TF, never more than one or two out at a time, just to attract collectors and lapsed 80's dads. This is basically the same with Joe. Anytime a whole "line" is a single retailer exclusive, you know it's not meant to be extensive or long term. But...

    G.I. JOE - Retro Series

    I don't really think they're trying to "restart" the 4" line, no moreso than the retro TF walmart exclusives are for transformers. They're just cool nostalgic throwbacks with limited SKUs. The boxes for the retro vehicles are definitely better than the 25th releases art-wise, and the cardboard...
