    Cross posting because I thought I posted here to begin with, but I'll add to it.

    Messaged my friend about the same and he went off to get 2 as well! Like putting needs in a barrel. :roflmao:

    Lol

    Tiger Electronics!? That's a name from the past! They and GameStop are probably saying suchkah right now due to all us 40 year olds haha.

    Unless these have been rereleased for a while? It's the first I've noticed...

    Anyone know?

    $20 a piece?  :takeit: seems like that's what they cost way back in the 80's too lol or was it $5 ???

     

    I owned Double Dragon as a kid and beat it. Getting parents to buy it was like pulling teeth, that is all I remember, so maybe that's why I was flummoxed...

    Just to not confuse anyone .those are brand new toys that looks like stuff from the 90s but its not.

    So there would be no confusion

    I've heard that it has to be touching the rust with paper and staples. I've heard bag and board should be fine. I won't know until tomorrow how bad the insides are, but if little inside and mostly outside? Do I bother to spray the inside? @Namtak

    And then as I said I've heard spray the outside but not the inside, because even months down the road with the enamel even it can come out of the paint, but double checking

    I have the belt sander and etc, but would probably just spray if needed due to time constraints. One of these with the short folder drawers looks, we'll, just older and from the pics the most rusty. If I spray the enamel on the outside, will it then turn the color of the spray? Any thoughts on clear coat of the rustoleum, as far as look of them when finished?

    Or lining it with bubble wrap? Or other.... or should I just man up and paint the inside with the stuff.

    Just time constraints between letting it dry, the next time it rains, room outside, and getting it otherwise situated lol

     

    Like i said clear gloss is easy,easier than paint gloss ,do some tests you might be surprised.

    I wish I knew who to tag?

    Any thoughts on rust migration?

    Are these too bad off to instantly use? The sun was coming down, when I was told I could come get them...so the best pics I can take for now. :sorry:

     

    Help me out here 🙏🙏

    Let me guess...for storing comics?

    Me im a welder so i see potential.a grinder with soft sandpaper on (apply gently this metal is thin) then à bit of paint...can be done for cheap.after that no problem for storing comics(just let dry the paint first lol )!

     Or even cheaper just spray with something like that one ,see image

    I'm trying not to count chickens before they hatch, as I want to be "helpful and not a deterrent..."

    I've got a list of 12 that made a placeholder post, but that I could tag for a reminder, I just don't want to do it TOO SOON or have it get in the way as a pestering event lol 

    Anyway, 2 of those 12 mentioned being busy or out of town until the end of week, so it being Wednesday I guess I could wait for tag and friendly reminder. :cheers:

    If I can help, I had the time to make myself useful if needed :shy: 

    @The Sledder

    You lost me with the chicken stuff lol
