Love it! I have been kinda sorta looking for one of these for a while now. A local shop had one, but the box was a repro, so i didn't pull the trigger. This one looks so nice! That is a real collection centerpiece right there, beautiful toy.

Thank you my friend for the kind words. There’s just something soulful about buying something that made us happy when we were young. I was over the moon when I landed this one. The box edges have some rubs but overall it’s a solid box. Now it’s time to hunt down a nice Mazinga in the box !

What is the Deckard figure?

Retro collection Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow (thanks to Buzzetta for the heads up).  Kind of sad packaging, and I don't want to open it right now, so you'll just have to take my word for it.

The figures are pretty well done, though the cards are so-so.  A bit flimsy, and i miss the white border around the vintage card.

Frankly, I don't mind the rubs or light wear on a box, because to me, it gives it that air of authenticity. I can feel the age. We are living in an era of reproductions and customs, so I kinda dig a little wear here and there. Especially since the main draw, that lovely center image, is clean and bright!

Hello to all..

My new acquisitions, a gift from a friend. Just awesome. 
I will probably start building the x-wing first.

If you see this photo in the description of any eBay auctions, report it immediately. It’s scammers using hacked accounts to list items in just about any category imaginable. Spotted it in vintage action figures but have also seen it in other categories I follow.

This is a cheaper Lego set that should be on the shelves on March 1st.

$9.99

Remind anyone of anything?

I didn't realize they were individually packed inside until you posted that pic, so I went ahead and opened it.  Here's the new Storm Shadow next to the vintage one.  It is very close but doesn't seem as identical as I originally thought.  Also, I question whether the originals were ever that white, or some of the details quite so defined, even when they were brand new.

It looks like the hands are the biggest give-away in comparison.  Thanks for the side-by-side!

I have not opened my set (taken them off the card) but I believe at one point they were that white.  The Snake Eyes is a more of a matte black which I prefer though.  The weapons in the tissue did not seem as brittle as evidenced by the sword.   They seem to be made from the molds of the re-released figures post 1994 or completely new sculpts like Hasbro did with the "vintage" rocket firing Boba Fett from a decade ago.

I couldn't give a flying isshhh that there are rubs on the box.  

Such a glorious piece.  

I can never get enough of this toy.   I've longed for a box for some time.   

Have to settle for the few loose toys I have.  Congrats.

Not a lego guy, but this is next level amazing.  

Detail is crazy, especially all of the villians.  Doc Oct, Sandman, and Goblin are superb. 

My favorite part, a friggin Spider Buggy!

I am not a die hard Lego guy, I have 4 (The Daily Bugle, Millennium Falcon, Slave 1 and the 1989 Bat-Plane) but the size and sheer awesomeness of this one is something else. I love they included the Spider-Buggy in this. My favorite mini fig in this set is probably FireStar (cause old school Spider-Man and his amazing friends Saturday morning cartoon).

[Mercury Man]

Decided to get a couple of my childhood memories in order.   I had a few of these when they came out in 1975-1976.  Happy to see some on ebay, so I pulled the trigger, as well as finding a loose one at a Flea Market.  Had to pick up the retro sign to compliment the pieces.  I will probably pull the completely damaged card ones out and put into a small display case, maybe get the full carded one graded. 

(P.S. the click click never sounded like gun fire to me).

As a One Punch Man fan, I felt obligated to get this 

[Cat]

I opened up my MP Thundercracker today and had a gander at him. Perfect shade of cartoon blue, oh so pretty. Can't wait to get him home so I can transform him and put him with his brethren.
