Well poo poo. I updated my address on pulse but didn't know I had to update it on my individual orders, so my Zartan is going to my old place by the end of today. We still have stuff to move out of there but won't be going back til Saturday, so no one go to my old house and steal him okay?

You might have to call them to get every order changed. Even after doing so 3 of my orders went to the old house.

In August of last year I had one vintage MOTU figure, my childhood Orko. By December I had nearly completed the vintage collection so I bought the S7 Snake Mountain. In January I owned that and 14 Classics figures. I now own 172.

111 to go!

This is insanity to me, you get there you glorious bastard! I love living vicariously through your updates, like much of us. I would love to have more stuff on display, but we need to build the addition to the house first.... working on it.

Lumber prices and construction is insanity still due to the pandemic stuff. :(

Oof, that stinks man. I just want a drat shed for my backyard and it will cost me $3000 which is insanity.

Oh and I got my shipping notification from Powercon for the books so I guess I birches enough.

Off topic, it I bought a shed a few years back fully built and delivered, cost us $4.5k, so 3k doesn’t seem that bad.

We use it for a Chicken/Duck coop...

Same! I got mine on the mail today; sadly Zartan's box has some damage.

I'm taking a break from GI Joe Classified for a while; I hope we get regular Storm Shadow or the twins announced on June. Otherwise, I'm done with this line for the moment.

I wish I could say the same, but these definitely are a hit for me.

If your walmart was sitting on these you could get your money back ten times over.

These are the Super 7 Ultimate Classics. 7 inch scale from a few years ago. Not the Origins figures currently on shelves.

I will burn my dread.

I guess SAL Small Packet is back on for the US? I got kind of a random email from amiami saying "BARRET WALLACE IS IN THE USA" and then he showed up a while later. I've got another purchase that was also SAL Small Packet that is still processing, so I imagine maybe they are just working through a ton of backorders at the moment or something.

No, but Amiami has been sending out anything that chose SAL by Surface because I think their warehouse was getting too crazy.

He probably shipped a couple of months ago and just made it now.

Does anyone have a suggestion on how to get MEGOs without loving around with eBay? I mainly want Hulk and Spider-Man but would also like a few others, namely the FF and Iron Man. I’ve tried googling around to no avail and don’t mind paying a little extra just to avoid eBay.

I nabbed a Classics Captain Glenn (Queen Marlena) for half the ebay price off Amazon last night. I really wonder if some sellers even check prices on things, this is the fourth Classics figure I've scored off Amazon for well below market value.

The shed I want is a 7x7 composite but the HOA doesn't allow those. It's $700. A 7x7 basic wooden shed is $3k.

I'm aware. Doesn't excuse places jacking up the price of finished sheds sitting on their for sale lots. Or my hoa insisting on wooden construction only.

Then people would be buying up all the sheds to tear them apart. It would be anarchy.

Maybe try the MegoMuseum forums, I just go on to look at weird stuff, but forums seem to be active with buying and selling. http://megomuseum.com/community/forum.php

Pre cut and used Lumber isn't worth a 300% markup.

And when you stare long into the abyss, you become aggressively, terminally chill

Is it normal for packages to sit stationary in FedEx's queue while "paperwork is available?" I had BBTS ship my joes last week, it moved on the 1st, on the 3rd "paperwork is available," and no updates since. I get that covid is slowing everything down, but this seems odd to me.

Something similar happened to me recently, they were rerouting thousands of packages because of the shooting at the Indianapolis hub so it was causing backups all over the region.
