Must be nice to be rich!

Cases look great.

Don't fret on the defiant.   Virtually none are defect free.  

Mine has the front gun issue.  That was a dumb designed and I'm not sure how to replace.  

The shuttle is so cool.  Especially the simple but awesome space walk.  That wire, if OG, is very expensive.  

If you're not aware, there are 2 designs to the defiant.  You can tell by the cabin of the shuttle.  1 has a stand that will prop the cover, the other does not.  

Love the character selection in the case.  Just swap the Capt Grid Iron for someone like Destro.

Thanks. Not rich. Just willing to go far and work hard to build the collection. I paid $300 for the defiant so I was pretty stoked. Just got to chase down a terrordrome still lol. Display cases I built myself from a shot glass case to save a few bucks

I think mine is the cabin with the stand. The wire is not the original but works great. The case in the picture is the good guy case. Destro is in the bad guy case to the right. The left case is the OG case of 82 - 83 figs

He said he's really busy buying vintage figures

Hi guys! Good to hear from everyone. I’ve had some up & downs the last couple of months. On the upside I’ve been diving in the vintage toy market. Some mask but mostly a lot of joes. It’s a lot of work at times but I enjoy finding new homes for the joes. I’ll post some pics soon. Cheers

Talk to me about that Marty piece.  Love the  hoverboard.

I've been surprised to b learn that people dislike Back to the Future 2.  It may be my fav. 

Patrick

The figure is made by NECA. They are currently in Target. I can’t believe people dislike BTTF2. It’s my favorite one for sure. I loved seeing all the futuristic stuff as a kid. Little did we know that we would just be starring at our phones all the time

Beautiful stuff as always! I've had the SAS Fang on my want list for a long time now, this one looks gorgeous. Did it come like that, or did you have to fix it up? Super sweet!

Thanks! The only thing I had to fix was the stickers on the rotor blades. Other than just a little bit of cleaning. I finally got the missiles from the original owner that’s in town. He said he picked it up on a family vacation when he was a kid.

What did you get?

Just Cobra Commander for me. They see to have sold out for today on him. Probably more available tomorrow for folks without the premium membership.

30 mins until pulse con exclusives!

Seriously?  

I signed up when it was free when it started and they extended it.  I am still on the fence for whether or not I will pay for a membership.  It honestly depends on whether I actually have access to purchasing the exclusives.  If I am shut out like I would anywhere else I figure that is money that need not be spent. 

I believe the best way that they could make a membership 'valuable' is to always give premium pulse members an advance window to purchase on every product. 

I must have missed out when it was free. This last year seemed to be a bust for paid memberships. Hopefully we do get those advance windows to purchase now.

Oh and one more thing...  Remember when the season's con exclusives go on sale for members. 

 

Thanks for the reminder. I bit the bullet and bought a membership. I probably should look at stuff other than Joes to make it worth the while.

New parts eh. I’m glad they’re doing more with these. I hear some are on the shelves. 

I also heard wave 2 of the 6” Joes is at Walgreens now. I forgot to post it on here but I found them at Target the other week, Including the elusive red ninja. One per case for that army builder

I always figured that people that moved to California already got rid of their old stuff. I didn’t realize Colorado had less. 
I picked up this gem on Saturday. 82’ GI Joe game. Complete. New condition!  Power Rangers stuff is cool too. I need the tail on dragonzord and head for megazord. I also have pieces from the black megazord.

Did a trade for some Joe stuff. Mostly 90s ninja force and star brigade figures. I didn’t realize orange roadblock is a variant. I had to have that paintball snake eyes thanks to @Buzzetta

I’m digging the new Punisher motorcycle pack. Frank could use a bit more articulation but over pretty well done.
