    21st/JSI Huey owners, get in here.

    The new 6" Rambo figure comes with a pair of bandoliers of ammo. Might be made to work. Also, I've bought a few 1/6 ammo belts of small caliber stuff that looks pretty good for larger 1:18th ammo, and they have removable metal links, so in theory you could make them any length you want.

    Happy Anniversary (again!)

    I saw that one. I was explaining to my wife how I thought they overpaid. They gave more than ebay prices on everything that episode, especially that Imperial Shuttle. That's awesome that was Slither!

    Which ep? What was he selling?

    Joe to the rescue

    One of my favorite pieces of vintage Joe artwork was the "To the Rescue" poster that adorned the '83 catalog insert and was later available as a full-color mail away poster. That being said, I always wanted a high-res copy of that artwork, but the vintage posters are $$$$$. So after looking...

    Merit's "New" Huey.

    So they can build the world's largest shopping mall in a town populated with factory workers making $3 /month. It would have been more efficient to dig a hole and toss the millions in...

    That's it! There is only one caster out there. Just one guy knows how to make a zed head out of plastic. It's a secret more closely guarded than the Coke recipe.

    Merit's "New" Huey.

    My Huey has shipped from the Flying Mule but hasn't arrived yet. Can't wait to see how it looks. I'm with KT: somebody take some damn pics!

    Well so far, he's shown a level of business acumen that the casting community typically lacks, so bravo to him.

    No way. AF bought a ton of SDS molds, but I think that's where it ends. Honestly, AF is run faaaaaaaaaar too smoothly to be the same person :) Besides, Dave is apparently still recovering from serious medical issues, so it seems unlikely that he'd suddenly have the energy to run a business...

    Ok, this WAS the SDS business model. We all know how that turned out... and a lot of people didn't like it even when they were still going strong.

    To an extent I agree, yet it's tough to compare a cottage industry that people do in their spare time to buying crap online from amazon or something. I'm willing to be far more forgiving when I know it's a random person just working as a labor of love for a hobby and fellow collectors. Most...

    Seems like an easy trap to fall into. Clearly some handle it better than others. We've seen people go under, we've seen people fall behind and claw their way back, and we've seen this guy just stay behind constantly, but not so far that people stop patronizing his site.

    Well, despite some of his iffy customer service, you have to give the guy credit for periodically closing down and not taking any more orders while he attempts to catch up. He does that several times a year. Of course, he's perpetually 6-9 months behind, but at least you can see that even he...

    Eddie, the heads are at work, but I'll try to snap a pic in the morning. GB, it'll probably be a while on the painting. I'm currently in the "planning and hoarding parts" phase of about a thousand customs. I'm building my own house, and it's slow. I've been at it for a year and a half...

    G.I. Kre-O, Kre-O, MegaBloks CoD and LEGO discussions

    I've officially ordered two of everything. It's just too cool. And I ebayed the two mini-figs I was missing. TF kre-os are hit and miss. The TF mini figs are great, but the sets are somewhat worthless since you have to disassemble and reassemble to transform them. "Hey, look, he...

    Got my shapeways package today. Bo, Luke, and Ving look damn good. The FUD is waaaaaaay better than the stuff from my previous SW order that was in the white & black material.
