I'm assuming everything must be severely delayed at Mezco. I was looking at my BBTS orders the other day, and forgotten that I still have the One:12 Constantine and Wolverine box set on preorder. Ordered both over a year ago, in April of 2021. That's a bit ridiculous. I would probably cancel them by now, but I had to pay a $10 deposit, so it won't let me cancel. 

Oh, I've also got Bishop on preorder. Thanks for reminding me. Yep, pushed back too (can't remember when he was supposed to be out, but it was before the FF). 

And yeah, I'd cancel Bishop, but like you, don't wanna lose the tenner, or the $50-something I had to put down for the Fantastic Four, if I start to get antsy for the reasoning behind these delays.

What am I looking at? 

Is it a memory card with a faux figure on the end of it?

Yes it is.the n64 model was worse in my opinion.

can a figure fit in the turret? that was my favorite feature besides taking the turret out and stashing another figure inside.

From hasbropulse.com:

• Rear Cargo Bay: The rear personnel platform provides standing room for additional troops who can be posed holding the functional handrails. Below that is a retractable tow hitch on the rear of the vehicle. The center of the personnel platform flips up allowing the rear cargo door to drop. That reveals an illuminated troop transport cargo space. Inside is a jump seat and a weapon accessory storage rack.
• Articulated turret with poseable cannon accessories: The 360-degree rotating turret includes control details and fits an additional G.I. Joe Classified Series Action Figure (sold separately). The Double “Diablo” Cannon accessories can swivel and elevate independently from one another.

The pictures with the back cargo door open look pretty cool.

And the first unlocked upgrade (other than the early bird figure) is removable side-mounted missile racks.

I may have to get this...

I went to Walmart this morning for some basics, I also took a walk through the toy aisle.

I was only interested in one figure, and he was in the back of the row on the shelf, I smiled when I found him.

How wacky does my cart look?

Here he is all opened up!

I love the light/sky/baby blue coloring.

Welcome to family!

If your still wondering, I believe doughnuts, 2 chocolate eclairs.  Ironic with the healthy food I assume. Ie egg whites, I dont write the yolks folks.

But nothing out of the ordinary I assume as well

I only comment doughnuts cause someone somewhere said the other day that only Americans think doughnut shops open early in other countries because we consider them breakfast food

Which they are evidently not everywhere else, so American tourists are easy to spot.

And bland food at that, except for the doughnuts. It’s all in moderation.

Yep, two cream filled doughnuts. I wanted to celebrate since I had been looking for that Death Watch Mandalorian figure for months now. I just thought it was funny to have “old people” food in a cart along with a toy and sweets. 

Looking back, I should have put some Preparation H or something else embarrassing in the cart to see what people would say on here!

I first put “Deathwatch” but the box clearly says “Death Watch.” Derp!

If it was just action figures and donuts (or candy bars) it would not have been so weird

Went up to Owen Sound to work security at Kelso Beach Canada Day event and grabbed these Hot Wheels from the Walmart. Also had a great meal at Montana's.

Crazy people? I bet they are the same people that don't go down the toy aisle when they have to run out for milk or something the kids need real quick either

I'm buying most of the newer Marvel stuff Mafex makes.  Haven't gotten much this year, but my last two pick-ups are the Endgame Cap and Ben Reilly Spider-Man figures shown below.  Behind both is the Mafex Infinity War Cap.  Just got Endgame Cap yesterday, and he's a TON of fun and clearly the best version of that iteration of Cap ever released.  Endgame Iron Man Mark 85 is on the way and should be here in a week or two.

Haven't bitten on Endgame Thor or Homelander both of which released within the last month, but I'll probably end up snagging both.  Virtually EVERY Mafex release is the best version of that character ever made in twelfth scale, so I lean towards buying any I'm vaguely interested in as opposed to letting them pass and regretting it later.  Infinity War Doctor Strange should be coming soon, and he looks absolutely spectacular.

Also still buying 80% to 90% of the Marvel Legends releases from Hasbro.  I mostly just don't buy repaints or obscure releases, but I even buy most of those if they're any kind of upgrade on previous releases or have well-done new head sculpts.

If you haven't seen it the upcoming Mafex Infinity War Iron Man Mark 50 pictured below has the most insane array of accessories I've ever seen come with an action figure.  Seems like they covered ALL of the major nano-tech gadgets Tony used in that movie, and maybe all of the minor ones, too.  Not cheap at $189.99 at Big Bad Toy Store and $120 or so direct from Japan before shipping (which usually runs $15 to $40 from Japan to America and is most economical when you ship at least 2-3 figures together).
