Finally got (most of) my NECA Predators arrayed on a shelf - there are about 10 more that didn’t fit.









This is awesome, I just went through a bin full of the old alien/predator toy line (hasbro?) and full nostalgia for all the sweet predators I had, and the awesome Ripley figure.

It seems like a ton of people have just recently purchased the 1000toys Synthetic Human, and you can count me in along with them.

It's outstanding, I love this figure. And today I was able to get the photo I first envisioned when I ordered him.



Are those easy to get a hold of? I've been looking for a decent poseable drawing model and have seen these among the list of good options.

So if I wanted to start looking for some older black series, should I wait for the archives or hunt down the old ones?

Also: anyone have any opinions on the McFarlane titanfall line? Was thinking about getting the robot pilot but didn't know the quality.

I'm keeping an eye out for obi Wan in clone armor from black series. I think it's a Walgreens exclusive and it has a fall release window, does anyone with more experience know around what month that usually means?

Local Walgreens had a unicorn and the OG 0079 gundam. Looked kind of neat and I was curious also because they looked a little smaller than I expected for 25.

Yeah two targets I had checked were pretty cleaned. Out, no Mando or exclusive. They did have a sith trooper and the mystery boxes but I'm not super interested in new trilogy troopers.

Well a target in my area claimed to have the exclusive mandalorian figure so I had to check. Of course they didn't, inventory told them they had a few but my guess is someone stashed them or something.

Well I will be now. It seemed too good to be true but everything else on the site was listed sold out so I thought what the heck.

Edit:yeah brickseek shows the same info for inventory so Idk what the deal is.

Got lucky this weekend and managed to find a black series shock trooper and the commander fox that just came out. Long term I think all I need for an officer collection is Cody, Rex, and wolffe.

I had a find a gamestop a ways outside Chicago that had him. I've seen Rex at a good price online (as opposed to wolffe and Cody) but drat does the hascon Rex look so much better. Might have to spring for that version.

That sounds like the young Han figure. I think they only did one cassian figure and he's wearing a blue coat.

My way of focusing my black series collecting is to only pick up trooper variants (ot/pt Era). It's been working out but the commander Cody figure is one of the remaining ones I'm really after. It's so expensive at this point I'm actually considering pre ordering the hot toys Cody for like $100 more because why not?

I must have blacked out yesterday. I was reading an article about the new black series shadow stormtrooper and when I came to I had an order confirmation email.

The toy shelves at the WMs around here are oddly barren in the action figure aisle. Like there was a run on, well, everything.

I checked one out last month (according to brickseek it had a few black series I was looking for) and saw a similar sight. Mostly empty shelves.

Any target I've checked has been completely cleared out of any figures. I haven't had good luck with popfindr either. Hopefully these things start showing up more.

Got hosed on storm shadow, was supposed to arrive today but they just emailed me a delay window of 9/22-10/20 or something so I guess we'll see when it shows up.

In other news, anyone else picking up the mafex spider verse stuff? I think I saw the other day hobo Peter Parker and miles were both due out soon and they looked pretty rad.

In my experience it's a complete sham but yeah other times it's not. PF said a target near me had 2 beach heads and they couldn't find any when I asked them.

Yeah the amount of times we've been shipped a box of something 1/4 e size is ridiculous.

In other news, once I get back home today I'll be scoping out a nearby target that popfindr says has 6 Beach heads.

Welp, surprising no one the target was completely cleared out. The guy I talked to thinks if they did have 6 someone probably came in at open to buy them all. It's really hard to keep myself from tracking down dead ends.

Has the red ninja for gi joe been released yet? I'm seeing pre-order dates all over the place. Darkside has one for November I'm considering (Amazon has march/April 21,bbts is January) but not sure how likely it will arrive by then.

Man which one of you has a tight grip on inventory in Chicago? I've checked maybe 6 targets in the last few days and only found one roadblock, nothing else.

It's always the same story too, they restocked the day before and someone came in at open and cleared them out.

Yeah that just feels lazy on their part. Range trooper (weirdly enough) was what got me into black series and what really appealed to me was the fur on the jacket adding to the quality.
