These look so awesome I decided to look them up.  3.75" ?!!  NOOOOOO!!!

I'd be all over these if they were Super Powers/Secret Wars scale (5").  Iron Man, Cap and Spidey look so good.

This is a surprising Prime Day Deal - Lego Avengers Quinjet from Endgame marked down to $48 shipped from $80.  I would be all over it if I had not already purchased one for more around six months ago. 

I highly recommend this.

Prime Day Deal ... just wow... I might buy a second one to stash - again a set I already have and paid full retail.  It's worth the $130... It's a steal at $78

Are these newer releases?  I recall the 80s versions being on cards.

Sorry I missed these, I didn't even think to check.  I'm always looking for discounted Lego sets for my kids to put together.

I was able to complete another purchase from a local collector. This was our third deal, and I can just send him lists and he puts together what he has at the time. Maybe there's a bit of a premium, but I don't have to deal with eBay. This purchase will complete about 5 of my loose Joes plus taking me closer to completing some others.

I have been sorely tempted by these, but so far have resisted. We'll see how long that lasts.

It really is a great figure. I posted some pics of mine several pages out, you might check them out if you're inclined. I'm still not going whole hog on this line, but I do have John Constantine and the new "steel box" (or whatever it's called) Wolverine on pre-order. Trying to not get sucked in too far on this line...

Hey gang! Hope everyone has been well.  Since I can't access the boards at work anymore (stupid firewall) I don't have a lot of time to get on here, since the last thing I want to do when I get home is look at a computer!

Anyway, I'm sorry if I missed any responses to anyone or anything. Loving the pics of everyone's stuff per usual! I think I mentioned a couple of weeks ago that I had my eye on something special. Well, I picked up one half two weeks ago, and I get the other half tomorrow. Will share this weekend at some point. A couple of personal grails for sure.

In the meantime, I know I've mentioned my best friend a few times on here. I am a GI Joe "collector", but he is a GI Joe "fanatic", and his collection puts mine, and most others that I've seen, to shame. A pretty much complete set of all ARAH figures, including international releases (Tiger Force figures, Satan, etc). He didn't collect MOST repaint vehicles lines like Tiger Force, NIght Force, etc but has all of the molds in their original colors and a few extras. Anyway, he has been hard at work on his display room for months now, and a couple of weeks ago I finally got to see it. He said I could share some pics.

If you aren't too distracted by his wife's Barbie collection, enjoy the pics. I think the coolest piece is his USS Flagg, which he has completely customized below decks. @STORMSHADOW_80 I thought you may get a kick out of this, as I know you've customized your Flagg as well. I have no talent for this sort of thing, so I just have to admire the handiwork of others. 

Ok, that's that, should have some cool stuff to show you all shortly! Hope everyone is doing well.

Terrific photos! Yeah, Dr Fate was also my first figure from the line, and I've now preordered Bishop and the Fantastic Four set. I'm also deciding if I want either of the versions of Cyclops (probably not, neither really speak to me). I'm lucky in that I haven't liked that many of their redesigns, but now it's a whole new ballgames having one in-hand, and knowing how good they can be. 

My main problem is I already collect too many lines and have 2 expensive lines I collect, one regularly and one fairly often now, Transformers Masterpiece line and Storm Collectibles Mortal Kombat line, neither of which are cheap. So something will have to give.

"Look at this stuff
Isn't it neat?
Wouldn't you think my collection's complete?"

 

I know who that is in the water.

It's tough to make those calls. I am mostly dedicated to vintage stuff, but I seem to dabble with other lines, only to get hooked, buy a bunch of them, then sell them off when i want to buy a vintage piece. I've done this, like, 4 or 5 times now with Marvel Legends, for instance. I think they're great, but they're always the first thing I sell off when i want to streamline the collection. I also recently dumped nearly all of my DC Direct stuff, in order to fund the purchase I'm picking up this weekend. It is what it is!

Right now I'm hanging in with vintage G.I.Joe, G1 Transformers, some occasional NECA stuff, Alien related stuff, and some modern Transformers, primarily 86 movie related figures and the crew of the Lost Light. That seems...doable. But you never know when I'll get a wild hare and decide to sell a bunch of stuf to buy something else. It's the circle of life!

Yeah, I've cut my Marvel Legends down to X-Men and Fantastic Four related characters only, Star Wars Black to OT only (some Mandalorian too), everything from McFarlane's Mortal Kombat (fantastic line), gotten picky with my Transformers Kingdom stuff (mainly G1 characters I feel I need updates of), then the stuff I mentioned before, the MP's and the Storm MKs. 

It sounds like a lot, but it really isn't, it's really quite manageable, so I'm thankful for that. I gave up on Vintage Star Wars a long time ago now. Too much repro flooding the market, too many scammers. Maybe one day I'll jump back in, but not in the near future.

Oh yeah, I hear you. I LOVE Star Wars, but I do not collect Star Wars at all. Vintage, new, none of it. There's just too much, it would drive me insane. So I an strictly a window shopped on SW. Love it, but can't buy it.

With Marvel Legends I had finally scaled back to JUST X-Men, but I was in a situation where i was wanting to raise money to fund a long desired purchase, plus they took up a lot of space, AND they were selling really well compared to what I'd paid for them. SO, they had to go. Check back in a year or two, I will have probably gone back on my word and started buying them again, for I am a weak, weak man.

Oh I know the feeling. The amount of times I've said to myself 'this is it. After this wave, you're done. You don't need anyone else.' Then they go and announce a Strong Guy BAF, and I'm right back on the saddle.
