Congrats! Saw you were looking for a copy. Glad you were able to snag one and it doesn’t look too bad either.

Finally checked another piece off of my vintage Alien collection list. These aren't hard to find necessarily, but they can be expensive. Finally found a sealed example for what I felt was a reasonable price. Even sealed, the box is designed so that you can still look into the viewfinder and play the film. Of course, 45 years later, the film strip has long since red-shifted and degraded, but you can still make out a few images here and there. 

I remember going back and forth on the scene where the alien gets sucked out the escape hatch over and over because in reverse, it looked like the alien was gonna win 

Really liked the first one, especially the Daredevil scenes with they're rendition of his radar. That would make for an awesome animated series if they tone it down from the Netflix version for the kiddies

Judging by the "mom" on the cover, I think the secret is gender-bending? ^_-

That might be Will Ferrell doing his Janet Reno impression...God. I miss the old SNL

Has anyone mentioned “Fastball Special”?

So this is what I am talking about when it come to the 1982/1983 Snake Eyes and Steeler (Mobat driver).  They both came with the same Uzi's.  But there is two types, rounded and one that squared off with a point.  My understanding was that 1982 is rounded and original mold and then 1983 they brought the originals back 1.5 and that was new molds.  So when they redid the molds my understanding is that they would upgrade the design so the Uzi got changed and the points where added to make it look more realistic.  However I have looked at sealed copies of Mobat and Snake Eyes carded and seen them have both.  People do reseals, check yojoe and 3djoes it goes back and fourth.  Rounded in 82 and pointy in 83.  I thought until today accessory pack only came with one type which one person showed me pointy but yet I had a round one due to the pack came later.  Then I got a pointy one today.  It makes me assume they just kept using both molds since for two figures and they intertwined or there was actually a difference between SE and Steeler.  Makes my brain hurt lol.  Pics for reference.  I have a Steeler I bought that came with round.  Second pic is SE with a satchel as reference vs the accessory pack.

I can’t imagine how many of the originals were lost in parks and backyards 42 years ago. Me and some of my friends would take our action figures outside to create battle scenes on the grass and I’d always come home with missing or mismatched weapons. I’m sure trying to find the originals has to be a nightmare for some collectors

Hard to tell but that long yellow spike looks like a tent peg from this angle lol.

I thought the same thing, that's probably exactly what it is!

After seeing tons of bushcraft and camping videos, I'm inclined to believe that's exactly what it is

And finally, the Belles of the Ball, the Reasons for the Season, the guys I really wanted: Shogun Warriors!

These boys are all a bit grimy, need a good cleaning. These are for ME. I'll be getting some sticker sets for Daimos and Dragun, after I clean them up, maybe get some repro accessories as well.

The real find was Rodan. One of my long time Grails. Missing a back talon and one of the wing clips is busted, but he still displays nicely. Couldn't be much happier!

 

Great score! 

I remember getting the Rodan as a kid, dirt cheap from a clearance sale way back when but I can't for the life of me remember what happened to it.

593, 596 - VF/VF+ just because  

598 - still calling this a NM MINUS due to Overstreet not taking off for arrival dates which is in the top left front cover down the spine there.

I called these mostly NM MINUS copies due to the fact most could lay flatter.  Press them if its an issue to you

I have Heritage Auction hold my wins until I have enough for the shipping to Canada to be worthwhile. So I wait years to get these books finally in their new home. Got 7 lots in today, lots of Golden Age books, and made a video to savor the event.

The highlights are in the thumbnail (first Captain Marvel Jr and first Mary Marvel).

Awesome books. 
invest in a utility knife. It’ll make opening boxes much easier.

Just made my wantlist. That sculpt looks incredible
