Just sold some stuff on Mercari. Haha. I accepted an offer that was lower because the higher one just looked like a reseller (and a reseller of comics with porny variant covers lol). He just messaged me and seemed a bit peeved. Fun site.

Target cancelled my RAM Cycle with Breaker and my Barbecue preorders, so... that's fun. :smithicide:

Was able to reorder Barbecue quickly, but that RAM is sold out, so if anyone sees one in their travels whenever they finally drop, keep me in mind! Please!

I had a long back and forth a it a guy over the color of a particular vac metal deco on a figure I was selling. In the end he was very happy but it seemed like a lot of effort to buy a toy.

I currently have $550 in process though so I will take the goofy questions if it means more toy money.

I would definitely be all over a Cliff Steele figure.

I would especially enjoy if it came with a soundboard of classic lines like "Ohh, you just hosed ALL the way up!" and "THE-RA-PY! THE-RA-PY!"

You wouldn't happen to be in Michigan, would you? We have two different Ghostbuster groups here. Great Lakes and Detroit.

I'm looking to get a pack made at some point before the new movie, so I can join the Detroit Ghostbusters.

Full Disclosure: BJ and I became facebook friends and chatted a lot. He had a rocky time on the forums but he did a lot of charity work with his movie car schtick. But then he deleted his FB for a while and when he came back he'd unfriended a ton of people. I heard through mutual friends that he went through a very bad divorce and had to sell the cars.

The pack is mostly the kit Anovos used to sell, I had to make more than a few mods and replacements though.

The trap is actually one of the Ruby's Costumes ones. I took it apart completely, repainted it, removed a bunch of pieces and replaced them with the real things. The knobs, heat sink, transistor, indicator light, etc. I also covered up lots of areas with 1/8" plastic sheet to hide seams and make it look less like a toy. The real pedal was mostly made from off the shelf parts cobbled together. I just recreated it. The site gbfans.com has tons of helpful info and they sell some of the harder to source stuff. Still tinkering with getting lights/sounds/smoke from the trap.

Oops! I forgot to get those out of the closet. I've got the Mattycollector ones.

He tried to publicly shame some event or something for damaging his jeep in what turned out to be his fault, and the way things go on the forum he could never escape being that guy.

There was likely more to the story but it definitely made him look bad. But that wasn't even what started it. He started selling movie car posters that were ripped off another artists designs long before the JP Jeep incident.

For those interested MegaConstrux is releasing a Skeletor's Havoc Staff. Amazon Exclusive, pre-order now Shipping Nov. 1st 2021.

https://www.amazon.com/Mega-Constru...transformers-20


I guess Skeletor has to put labels on his staffs so he knows which is which.


and earlier I mentioned the Mega MOTU Advent Calendar, that has been canceled, at least for this year.

got my snake eyes and timber yesterday


Snake eyes is really and truly perfect, the commando get up is my favorite version of him so I'm a bit biased but still....

Timber almost steals the show though, I think I have probably owned every version of him from the original 3 3/4 inch scale release through the anniversary figures and up through sideshow, and this is the best version of him I've ever seen. Articulation is way better than the sideshow, more points, more natural poses, and stable joints too. I'm not an expert on animal figures, aside from timber I've only got battlecats, panthors, tauntauns and swiftwinds in my collection but to me it seems like a pretty extraordinary piece of work.

Between Timber and Drizzt's panther, Hasbro has some decent animal sculpts now and I hope to see some cool animal character additions to Marvel Legends like Zabu and Pizza Dog.

I need to remind myself to stop ordering from Hasbrotoyshop since they always get their own products last.

Cool figures. Can’t wait for mine.
