Where is @Buzzetta?? I sense a disturbance in the force as we have not heard from him for quite some time.

Picked this up recently. Just need to find a Stinger with wings, and we'll be 100% complete.

I've been good...

Nothing except what I preordered last year... so only two Star Wars figures and one Transformer.  There is one more Transformers slated for release earlier this year and then there is nothing else I want.  I am really trying be good after what I got rid of last year.   Feel's quite a relief to have trimmed down the collections as much as I have. 

However, with Lego, I did make some purchases on the previous double points day.  The Jane Goodall set was a gift with purchase.  I get each year's new release from the Modular House series for Lego City in the basement.  I love love love that pickup truck.  I flip flopped on it for months and was glad to finally pull the trigger.   It is actually on a shelf in the living room and the only lego set in any main room of the house.   Those that have seen it were taken aback that it was actually Lego.  The Boba Fett palace set was returned.  I have the Jabba's palace.  I can build it up without this set and it seemed like a waste.  The Batmobile set is probably going to be retired soon and I wanted to pick it up just to cross that off the list.

I have been on the fence for while regarding the pick up truck. Creator vehicles work so much better for me than the Technic cars.

Right on, glad you are doing well. I love the pickup truck! I have not picked up any legos recently as I have been focused on trying to finish up my GI Joe Ninja Force collection. 

PS: Are those MJF colors I see in your avatar??

I remember when Kav became upset once because I posted a pic of MJF looking annoyed at Danhausen saying that I was like MJF and he was Danhausen.  He was upset as he thought that I was likening him to a clown.

The reality is that everyone loves Danhausen and MJF is just a through and through. 

I explained it but should have realized that many are unfamiliar with MJF, who is Long Island's own and salt of the Earth.

MJF plays a great role ... can't help but watch when he is talking (whether it is good or bad lol), always entertaining stuff. 

Dan Hausen ..... gotta love the guy. Wears his passion for wrestling on his sleeve and is an enjoyable character IMO. Certainly no clown!

Finally got around to cleaning up and applying repro stickers to my Slave 1 and R2. In a way they were easier to work on than joes. Plastic is softer… Now I just need Han Solo in carbonate. Overall really pleased with this find in the wild.

I've never come across a Slave 1 in the wild that had nice labels.  

The repros definitely look better.

1984 Bigfoot by Playskool.

It's super nice.  Really glad to get it.  

Runs great.  Has the often lost key.

Even the labels are in great shape.

Awesome! I remember craving the mud treads enough to demand as a 4 or 5 year old to be taken, and I rooted for bigfoot or the rival. I cant remember the rival under dogs name though

We went to rallies too.  A lot of fun back then. 

I remember USA-1.   Early Gravedigger came later.   But I'm struggling to remember beyond that.

I was thinking digger, grave digger sounds like it. If I'm honest I remember the drinks, the concessions, the smell of beer and peanuts the hard seats with no backs, just long benches. Lol I felt like I was adulting

Oh wow, I had that! Instant Nostalgia blast, I'd forgotten all about it, and the key! Oh man, that's great.

It's been a long time since I walked into a Target and bought a toy, but it happened this week! I'd read on the TFW2005 boards that Targets were clearancing their Transformers Kingdom stuff, and it's true. Some Targets are stickering them, but a lot of them aren't. Also, the prices don't show up if you use the customer price scanners. BUT, if you take them to an employee with a handscanner, or go through the regular check out line, the clearance price will come up when you check out. Of course this started last weekend, so pickins' are slim around here. After going to three Targets, I only found Rhinox and Arcee. I left Arcee behind as she's just a repack, but I did pick up Rhinox for $14.99. I may hit a couple more Targets this weekend and see if anything is still stashed out there. 

I also picked up the Buzzworthy Kup, as I do prefer this deco. Wish I'd found a Cliffjumper, but it seems like the scalpers gobbled all of those up long ago.

I haven't been keeping up with the Masterverse line, but I saw these on the shelves and had to have them. I guess King Grayskull is a Target exclusive, and seems to be selling well on eBay. I picked one up for myself, along with Savage He-Man, who I think has been out for a while. I really dig these designs, and these are satisfyingly sturdy, chunky action figures. Going to have to pick up a few more in the line, I believe.
