The Daredevil collection post from above reminds me there was a series of blind box toys from like the mid 2000s where the figure came in like a crate and was in like 3-6 pieces and you assembled it. The whole figure was like maybe 2 or 3 inches tall. I'm reminded because I remember having the Daredevil and I think the Nightcrawler and Phoenix. Does anyone else remember this?

So the situation with Goodsmile was that somehow they sent my order to someone else in the States. Seems like at least a few got weirdly crossed up in one day, someone must have miscounted accidentally placed things out of order or something. Anyway, I got in touch with them Monday and they said sorry they'll ship out another and to watch my email for tracking by the morning at the latest. That didn't arrive so I called back earlier today. The woman on the phone literally went to their outgoing mail area, grabbed my box, printed that label while on the phone with me, and then placed it for pickup. They're a bit weird with requiring you to call in everything and seemingly only have one person taking calls, but that's some pretty good customer service when you do get through.

Anyone ever heard of or use Action Figure Headquarters before? They’ve got a few things I’m interested in but I’d rather not have my money tied up in a scam for weeks.

Yea I think I had the daredevil as well. I got some with a 400 dollar haul of Marvel Legends from KB Toys. That was probably the greatest toy find day for me. Managed to get like 6-7 waves of ML I was missing plus a ton of extras. Sold some stuff above cost but below retail to cover the whole thing.

Corin Tucker's Stalker posted:Amazon has a Star Wars sale that includes some Black Series, Tamashii Nations Movie Realization, and Bandai model kit figures. Thanks for posting this. Unfortunately, I put a shitload of them in my cart last night and made the mistake of not pulling the trigger immediately. My wife, laying in bed next to me, also puts something in the cart, turns to me and exclaims, ”WTF, did you put all of these Star Wars toys in the cart,  ” of course I mumbled something trying to deny it and then was just too ashamed to purchase them after that Sometimes I really resent this hobby, the compulsive need to constantly consume and myself.

S.W.O.R.D. Agent posted:You know after getting the new ML retro card Spider-Man I boxed up my Mafex one and am going to sell it. For myself I have wanted a perfect McFarlane Spidey forever. He had just started drawing Amazing Spider-Man when I first started reading Spider-Man so on a certain level it is what I consider him to look like. That being said I do love the classic Romita 70s Spider-Man that is in the Retro card. I need to find one, but I now have my Spidey and I doubt anything better is going to come along any time soon to replace it. I would like to see a in depth review of the Cyclops and Wolverine. I have Brown Suit from the Juggy wave a few years ago and that is basically what I have wanted in a Wolverine for years. The Mafex looks good but I am not sure how much better it is.

I picked up the Onmitsu Shadowtrooper. I already had the samurai Vader and I figured he'd look even better with a matching friend. I should have grabbed the Force FX Dooku saber that disappeared from the options later, but I have delusions of getting the one from Galaxy's Edge in Disneyland.

I need to find one, but I now have my Spidey and I doubt anything better is going to come along any time soon to replace it. The Mafex Cyclops is flat out better. Wolverine on the other hand could have an argument that the ML is "better" depending on what you're looking for. With Wolverine it comes down to the claws and posing. The yellow suit claws a 100% straight; if that's okay then no big deal, but I prefer a bit more stylized myself, so they seemed a bit strange at first (the brown suit version does seem to have fixed this). As far as posing goes, the ML beats Mafex hands down.The more extream the pose the more the ML shines. Biggest notices are in the butterflies at the shoulders and the hips. If you're someone who poses in relatively simple or even straight standing poses the Mafex is probably the better fig, but if you want Wolverine wild and crazy the ML is the way to go. I will say that I like this Mafex one enough that I may buy the brown suit version suit as well.

Ugh. Was watching a lot of Eternia weapons and I tossed out a stupid high number and still got outbid. Sucks but I really only needed half the parts so I just bought them from a different ebay seller. Down to 13 pieces (and 2 damaged to replace) and it's complete!

I forgot to include the monorail tracks in my parts list but I'm planning on trying to modify/repair the stuff I have for now. Two more lots I'm watching and if those fall through I'll just buy more single pieces! Edit: Need opinions. Corner-angled cases. Yes or no? I own 17 of these stupid things and if i do this I can fit 16 of them on this one wall (8 on either side of the tv stand).  Edit 2: this is what i'm spitballing in the TF thread

S.W.O.R.D. Agent posted:edit ^^^ That's a great collection. I love seeing character specific stuff. I honestly think the ML Spider-Man is more poseable than the Mafex one in some key ways. I also don't like the size of the hands and feet on the Mafex, and the prevalence of some of the joints just really break up the sculpt for me. There's also more of a fun factor with ML in terms of interchangeable parts and durability. I added some magnets to the feet and the fun factor took off immensely. void_serfer fucked around with this message at 20:27 on Nov 12, 2020 |

The corner shelf is going to look really bad when dust starts accumulating back there and it'll be a pain in the rear end to clean. The lamp is a much better idea.

Look up a couple posts, I had one angled and it just doesn't look right. The cord will run behind the cases to the left and be well hidden.
