I thought earlier in the week there was some news about how the union won a/c for the trucks. Did that fall through somehow?

The union negotiated to get a/c in all new trucks starting next year, but the only proposed fix for the existing fleet are a couple of fans.

Not mine, it’s not here yet. I was iffy on this guy but drat I’m glad I got it. I think a lot of people will regret passing on the Monkey.

HT has done an interesting thing for the Mandalorian this time.

Instead of a new season Bo Katan or Mando etc, they just announced an IG-12 with a whole bunch of accessories for assorted existing figures.

Assuming a full S3 Bo figure is coming because the head they used is all new with rooted hair.

I didn't notice that.

That's probably even better. Upgrade parts if you bought her already, a new one if you skipped it (or missed but it's still in stock everywhere.)

Not taken pics yet but Storm arrived and she's majestic, love the lightning effects and how imperious she looks, especially with the rest of their X-bods.

They don't always knock it out the park (Thor seems to be getting a lot of grumbles) but when they do...

You could probably pull of a good haduken with these



Finally got my hands on a Duplico. Since he appears to be holding the transformer Shockwave, when will we get an official crossover?

Got a big pile of goodies come.

Shipwreck, Scrap Iron, Copperhead, Torpedo, Rock N Roll.

I don't know how it is for others, but when I get figures like these I can't help but think of the first time I saw the originals as a kid. Saw the cartoons, saw friends who had one, times I had played with them, memories wash over me.

Funny how age makes you appreciate such things isn't it?

Rumors are we might be seeing some play set pieces sooner or later like Check Point Alpha. I mentioned before they could fit in nicely for this version of GIjoe and if the rumors are right it's going to happen. Hopefully not a Haslab thing though. Then you too can relive the days of having Snake Eyes with a clipboard stopping vehicles, asking to see ID and chatting about the previous nights game.

Yes I'm making fun of the fact a commercial had Snake Eyes doing that.

Cat's Lair!

Brian Flynn has said before that "hypothetically" Cat's Lair would be a very scaled-down miniature on the outside (it would have to be, or be the size of an actual house) and then the inside would be a more scaled-up control room.

The Thundertank box barely fit through the fuckin' door so I can't even imagine. I don't know if I can handle it.

Sure, knowing 100% for sure would have changed my mind about needing to secure one now. Even if he does get a release I am kind of relieved I wont have to resort to a scalper or spend weeks haunting the collector's corners and Walmart section and that sort of has an additional value to me. I just don't have the toy hunter in me I used to.

What's annoying about The Hunt™ these days is how inconsistent distribution is. Some stores get product, others don't, some specialty stores get product before retail, some only get a single box. Then there's the whole confusion with Target and the Legends line, for example, where some stores get 10 of one figure from a wave and that's it. These days it's easier to pay a bit more to pre-order or secure a purchase online which admitted isn't as "fun" but it works.
