Modern Rec'd 8/11 SFG 9/9 Modern Fast Track Rec'd 9/2

Looks like an incredible set! Thanks for all the pics.

I would probably pay up for a masterpiece version of a G1 Jetfire. Probably the only figure I would do that for. The new MP44s, etc are just too much

I'm not going to lie. My wife was none too happen when i brought home my flagg. But it was a local deal that i knew I wouldn't be able to find again. I made a lower deck and have a table just big enough to put it on so it doesn't take up as much room. The lower deck makes it less wide to sit on. I'd love to get a Defiant as well

This 100% all of the above. I've gotten lucky a few times just calling when I wasn't close enough. Sometimes though its hard to even get someone on the line at 8. I've ran into a few times at stores I have to wait around for their toy guy to come in at 9 or 10 to pull out a figure. Now the game has gotten a little trickier since the figures aren't coming in full cases of 6 anymore so they are in a random box somewhere. I think they call that their repacks.

That's a great idea. Yes please

Thanks. I really dig all the little sets especially since I don't have a terror drome I'm working on some displays to have them all set up.

Congrats! You're doing God's work restoring these figures. They just need a little love

I struck out at one Target this morning but found a couple more Baronesses at another store on my break. It's not easy. Typically you have to check up until 10 am

A few new Joe items I was able to complete over the weekend. The PAC rats actually took a couple years to come across all the pieces in lots. I’m glad I didn’t just get rid of the odds & ends initially. I only had to buy one piece online for $2.... I still need the remotes though, but I can live without them.

I didn’t have any luck finding it there

I keep glancing for this on Joe hunts. By any chance do you have the DPCI?

I saw the display when I was picking up a cobra trooper. They had a few DJ Rx, That red figure, and a few stuffed animals. Some old lady came and bought all the figures

Some deyellowing results. I’m not sure why his eyes/eyebrows are green. I’ve never seen a Thunder that way.

Baroness is an awesome figure. Well worth it if you can get her. I finally got to use my King Conan throne in a pic.

I got a couple extra parts now if you need em. The Hammer is really cool. One of those vehicles I didn’t discover until I was a couple years in collecting vintage Joes again.

I really should wear gloves but always forget. Lol. It’s not that bad. Just wash afterwards. Last time I used peroxide it took a whole week to get results that I can get in a few hours with salon 40. Here is the Hammer I just treated. Back to original color.

I’ve been blessed to find some good toy hauls lately. Here is a pic of a garage sale I went to. We left at 4 am for the drive and it was worth it! Vehicles were mostly complete with the small parts bagged up. A couple days ago I did a toy swap and was able to get some more vehicles and figs I didn’t have yet as well as parts I needed. Completed The Ferret with seat cover and hose. Also got most of the parts I needed for the Hammer. I’ll have to take some pics soon. Also found Beach Head & Baroness. So much Target shenanigans but I’m glad it’s over. I can finally stop waking up extra early in case I have to go to a Target somewhere.

But how many Abadiginals do you know that are male models? I did a Storm Shadow for a friend the other day. I can never get him bright white once its really yellow, but looks a lot better.I'll have to see if i have some before and after pics. Currently I just finished getting the yellow out of the Hammer vehicle.

My bad, I didn't see salon 40 mentioned earlier. I just saw jar of peroxide and remembered my friend had some joe parts crumble on him for being in there too long. I haven't tried clear wrapping salon 40 yet, but I will soon when i find the time to take my Flagg apart. I just use bags on the small stuff. After cleaning i like to use armor all to help condition the plastic.

Hopefully you haven't put him in a jar of peroxide just yet. The best stuff to use is called salon 40. It's a hair developer and be purchased at beauty supply store. It's in a cream type form. You just paint on the spots you want whitened and put it in a zip lock bag in the direct sun. The fumes start activating and it will get a little foggy in the bag. Check on it after a few hours. I'm actually doing this right now with a Joe vehicle. This stuff works way better than the 3% brown bottle peroxide and costs less. One bottle will last you quite some time.

Not sure what happened to Target's website. It worked for Beach Head but not now for Baroness. Best bet is to check Popfindr between 7 - 9 in the morning while it's being checked in from the truck.

Congrats on the find. She is harder to get then the troopers or beachhead. I struck out on day 1 in my area due to shenanigans of target employees not putting all of them out and doing inside jobs. In one instance the manager promised me he was going to set 1 aside for me only to have them slip through somehow. He said he owes me one for the mistake. If anyone has any plastic crack suggestions I'm all ears. Day 2 I did a lot better. I managed to get a sealed case of Baroness. I'm thinking of getting it AFA graded but don't know all the ends and outs of doing that. It should get an uncirculated grade since the box hasn't been opened.

Here’s some pics of the Bucky O’ Hare vehicle I picked up. It’s in great shape. There’s a funny gimmick where if you move it around it sounds like a croaking noise. Everything works great on it.

I felt more like Beverly Goldberg
