Love it. The Wolf is one of my favorite vehicles, such great play value with the skis, ski-pedos, double canopy, turret gun, etc. Just a badass fun toy. I'm hoping I'll run across the mailaway in the wild, one day.
I use to have the Wolf and the Tiger Fly as a kid. Great toys! I was envious of my cousins dragonfly so it was great they rereleased it as tiger force. I got lucky with the mailaway. It was in a random lot missing almost all the accessories so probably everyone passed on it not realizing the subtle different color scheme.

Finished a couple more Joe projects. I just got in the 91’ Cobra Wolf mail away. It has dark grey on the missile rack, engine cover, and ski-pedos, compared to the all light grey standard version. Full disclosure. I was short one ski-pedo so I painted a regular one.

Awesome! I've always thought it was a very underrated vehicle from that era.
In hand it's really fun. The bomb mechanism is really cool.

Got an Aero Viper to complete my Condor. Just missing 4 bombs. Condor is pretty massive with the wingspan almost the size of the length. I had to separate the two pieces to fit in the case.

You never had your books from the 90's and earlier pressed/cleaned? I don't think I would ever send anything to CGC or CBCS without having been pressed/cleaned, that is possibly leaving too much money on the table. As we see, even doing all that, their grading is so all over the place. In this last batch that I sent over, I have a few books in there that I sent in a specific way to see how they grade and how they come back.
I wish they were more transparent on how they are grading these books. What I do not understand, is that you would think they would be much tighter on grading with newer modern books so those should have less flaws in a real world scenario vs. books from the Golden, Silver, Bronze, and Copper Ages which were handled differently.
Pressing isn't always needed. I have a prescreen coming tomorrow with books mostly from 1990. No pressing.

A bunch of orders that I have not received yet have dropped off my submissions page.
Where do I find the submission #s so I can keeps tabs on their progress?
I don't think CGC should drop these orders off the page until they've been completed
I pulled out my packing slips and see the "Order#s" but I can't find the Submission #s anywhere.
This is pretty frustrating.
You can look on your emails for the order number that matches the submission numbers or give CGC a phone call.

Back when I was selling at toy shows I had a few nice MASK vehicles. You can’t collect everything, but I picked this up recently to represent the line since I had one when I was a kid. Found the driver for it at Frank N Sons the other day.

That's good news for my two 12/6 received submissions.
Still at SFG on my 12/3 12 book modern slow. There's been 4 other people that have movement that should be after me. That's the one bad thing about this thread. It's like waving bye to everyone leaving on the train.

A good friend of mine is trying to clear his storage space out, and asked if I'd want to buy his stuff or sell it for him. I'm going to pay him straight up, rather than auction it on his behalf, we'll both make out well that way. He dropped off a couple of boxes on Sunday. Can't wait to go through them! Should have about 10 boxes of comics coming shortly. Here's a sneak preview, hopefully I'll have time to get into them tonight.
Oh wow. That looks like a great lot to go through. Comics too! I would probably start collecting motu after that.

This is dangerous. Now I'm going down a rabbit hole and trying to decide if I need a set of Fall Guy/Smokey and the Bandit/Wrangler figures. What have you done??
Yeah. I wasn't even aware of these lines. They are actually pretty cool. Well made. Hits the vintage nostalgia points. Be careful

Found him!
ERTL The Wrangler action figure.
Looks like they did their own kitbash, using the Burt head and the Fall Guy body.

You are my hero. I guess that rare korea release was a bunch of bologna.
for the sake of peace of mind, you should add if the "results" were impressive or at least satisfactory
