Pays to be nice. Was going to be sold to someone else and a million people in line to buy, but honesty moved me to the front. Box on the Optimus Powermaster is rough, but complete. Looks like the toy was hardly ever played with. Bought from the original owner. My 2nd Hound but this one isn't complete. Very nice shape. I was surprised how few of people were interested. Patrick

Looked at a sizeable GI Joe collection this weekend. Will post a few after I clean them of dust. Definitely will go back for more in the future. 1st is the Cobra Bunker. I sold a partial a long time ago and haven't run across one since. I love the playset. It explodes when a Joe missile hits it. Pretty dynamic for a cheap set. The figure is supposedly the Viper Pilot. No sigil. But no way I can prove it. Patrick

Any 80s toys coming? Patrick

Anyone bought or used MOC Masters items (like protective cases for MOCs)? Thoughts? I finally secured a few, but I'm so-so on them. They don't seem to have a good clear view to the item. Almost a bit too hazy. For protection, they do seem to work well. On a side note: Mine are for vintage MOC TMNT and vintage MOC MOTU. Patrick

Could it be real? Yes. Would I trust it? Probably not. Would I aggressively pursue it to find out? El Yes. Though not of the 12 back variety, I still run across the occasional mailer box of sealed figures. Not long ago, I met a guy with a mailer box full of a few vintage Star Wars characters (meaning multiples of characters like in this video). He also had a mailer box full of 1988 vintage TMNT. I got some killer examples from that box. How much each? $25. How much each for the Star Wars? $15. I think it's often forgotten that a ton of collecting occurred by people from the 90s thru this pre-craze (myself included). And those prices were reasonable. So if focused on a certain character or toyline, you could amass quite a collection. Frankly, so many social media posters weren't collecting during that period so they understandably don't have that historical background. On a side note, I struggled paying attention to the guy in the video. Patrick

Definitely won't contact. I staved off the desire. It was Cry for Dawn 1 1st print. Only a couple I really want, but must resist. Patrick -

I went to a comic and toy show today. It was 90% comics, 10% toys. I only let 1 comic get my attention. But was happy to walk away without caving in. Patrick -

I did the same earlier this year. The whole bunch. Though there are minor occasions where I think about a book or two, I'm fine with the decision. After it's gone, I think you'll feel the same. Took a lot of anxiety away from me. Now I just focus on my toys. Patrick -

Never heard of him. I couldn't get thru the video. Patrick -
2nd Table Top. I love the game, but I have to say this is my least favorite from the group. The sound is quite annoying and loud beyond the opening song. The graphics are terrible compared to Donkey Kong. They made the star character smaller than nearly everything else. This also is probably in the least favorable shape. I'm going to clean it up, but the labels aren't the greatest. I'm guessing the back is an old sticker that the owner applied (not factor). Nevertheless, it's pretty cool. It does work well. Comes with the power adapter. This version is straight US (not Canada). Patrick
