  1. I did some reading and it is definitely a six movie deal. The real question comes to the future of the Marvel Universe in regards to Spiderman. There are plenty of sites that are exploring what the deal will be with Tom Holland moving forward as many sites have reported that the deal was for six total movies before Sony regains full control or the contract is re-upped. The deal also allowed for Sony to play with Marvel owned properties as we have already seen with Iron Man and the Cap cameo in the gym scene for Homecoming and now Nick Fury, Maria Hill, and Happy Hogan for Far From Home. You are right that no one officially knows what the actual deal or contractual obligations are. When it comes far on the Marvel side of things we have had Cap Civil War, Avengers Infinity War, and Avengers Endgame. On the Sony side of things we have Spider-man Homecoming, Spider-man Far from Home, and Holland has said that he is signed for a trilogy of movies so there will be one more down the pipeline. Here is where things get tricky though. Sony has definitely benefitted from lending Spider-man back to Disney. All of a sudden, the Tom Holland Spider-man movies are relevant in a way the Andrew Garfield movies never really were as there is far more investment in the character and franchise. I have a feeling that Tom Holland is going to become a VERY rich man as there will be two studios that want him to continue the past 2021. Feige has even stressed the importance of the character so it would not surprise me to learn that an contractual extension has been reached like they did with Robert Downey Jr when RDJ signed on for a few additional movies like Cap Civil War and Spider-man Homecoming. https://www.digitalspy.com/movies/a27406093/tom-holland-spider-man-marvel-future-contract/
  2. Masterpiece Bumblebee and Spike Mint in unsealed box. Never even displayed, I opened it up to make sure I received the correct version from BBTS. The side view mirrors have never been taken off the trees or attached and all paperwork is still sealed. I have included a screenshot from my BBTS order to show provenance since so many of the MP Transformers have been copied and bootlegged. So what do you get? Includes: Pistol 2 Side Mirrors Exosuit Spike Spare Tire Cover License Plate 2 Face Plates (Smiling and Neutral) This version comes with the Battle Mask Face Plate and an exclusive Collector Coin Original Retail was $92 - My price: $80 You have the exclusive preorder - Amazon - BBTS battle mask and the collector coin which were add ons from the original model. You have the paperwork but most importantly you have the fact that I have provenance of it being an original Takara Tomy Hasbro product and NOT a knock off which many on eBay are.
  3. First thing, the rules... No probies, no HOS, no drama llamas. Settle your drama before I even consider your money to be green. I ship worldwide. US Shipping goes out via Priority. Worldwide - check before you commit. Payment Options: PayPal Returns accepted at buyer's expense. You must notify me within three days of receipt. I go by timestamp. I receive notifications in this thread and whenever I get a PM. Taking in the thread gets it but if you MUST make me an offer I reserve the right to take 48hrs to consider it. In that time someone can come and grab it. I hate negotiations. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Threadcrapping allowed and encouraged. It amuses me. And of course, a tune.
  4. Look closely at the dates. They did not put Spider-man: FFH (July 2, 2019) on their schedule but they definitely planned around it. What's the financial stake that Marvel Studios has in it again?
  5. I bought a new pair of cheap flip flops for the beach... Look for those on eBay around September / October after the season is over.
  6. I've secured a 4 Day Pro Pass to NYCC. I will be in attendance blending in around the con. My report will come around October.
  7. Did he also get kicked off the boards across the street?
  8. Here is a favorite. This guy walks around like this all the time in various costumes. For instance, he was dancing in the subway in a borat thong swimsuit. Another day, he was playing a ukulele without strings making believe he was strumming along while on the train. I see strange ess each and every day.
  9. Nah... I've been taking pics of people that probably didn't want to be "internet famous" for years. I have folders of photos documenting what I see on my FB page. For instance... these two were out of their minds either drunk or high in the middle of the day... the dog seemed to be the most responsible one out of the group on the LIRR.
  10. Yeeeeeesssssssssss He gave me the 'really' look... He had gotten to the show late. I introduced myself and gave it to him as a present from the boards.
  11. You should have found Swarmi... When presented with the mission of supplying that board member who was looking for pressing paper or whatever, I stepped up and ordered $10 worth of it to show up at his booth and hand it to him. What was that guy's name? He eventually got kicked off the boards.
  12. Selling today it seems... woohoo
  13. I miss this. I think this was the last Transformers set I had as a kid as I saved up my own money to get one. It's one of the things I actually regret selling. However, I am definitely looking forward to the updated Omega Supreme since it includes an updated and modern Countdown figure. Awesome pickup. From the looks of it, it is super clean.
  14. Bump and take the whole lot for $55 This is the final bump... otherwise it goes back in the box or I offer it on FB groups
  15. So how does this work? Do I have to pre-register? @PeteFromPetesBasement
  16. I actually remember when you sold them and my jaw dropped. I was late to the party but just by a few minutes. Luckily those books traded hands a few times and I had picked up the major one I wanted from a board member when he decided to move them along. When I went to visit Metropolis I had learned that the final buyer decided to consign the books to them and I won another two at auction. Today 25, 33 and 83 currently sit in my collection with no plans of leaving anytime soon. What is weird though is that when I flip through them in the CGC box, I automatically refer to them in my mind as Mike's (Comicdonna's) books.
  17. Did the AF15-ASM Current run... That was about it at this point. Would I like to own a TOS 39? Probably... but there are other things I want to put my money toward. Now I just go after GA books that interest me. Right now, I am monitoring EC Sci Fi and Crime and horror books... But even then... I just pick up something here and there. I don't want to keep moving the goalposts back.
  18. If you are looking for value... I guess the Rocket Fett... There is 'something' though that is on my target list that would be the coolest. Thing is I had it in my grasp for $500 a few years ago and decided to throw that money toward comics. The comics panned out and are worth more now... but that action figure is also worth a lot more.... now it goes for about $1500-2000... Once I get a new bathroom... by the end of the year... I am going to chase that figure again... Hopefully it will be a 2020 purchase.
  19. BTW... Thought I would share... there is one book I loved and wanted but did not feel like spending a ridiculous sum for if I found one with one restoration that I found acceptable. I paid $388 for this through Heritage back in 2014. I did have "something" done to it. I sent it to Joey and he got rid of the nasty spine roll. As you can see the CT is along the spine at the staple. I'm fine with it. It is now in a CGC 4.0 holder so while it did not go up by much it did make the book look infinitely better. So for $388 + pressing and reslabbing fees? I am fine with a 4.0 here. Note 1 - CGC did not note the interior tape on the cover when it was a 3.5 Note 2 - I need to lighten my scans.
  20. Nope. I have two superhero Timelys that have a small amount of CT and I kept them the way they are. My Batman 11 was knocked down to a PLOD because the cover was cleaned and reinforced. Ummm I paid a fraction of what it would have been in a blue label because of that. The only thing I won't touch is trimmed. But no, I have a few GA books that have some restoration and I have never had them reversed. I did not see the need to do that.
