That is, sadly, what I both expected to hear and hoped not to at the same time...heh.

Yeah, it's difficult to do unless you obsess. Lol.

I was really surprised when I saw this.  Friday night and Saturday morning must have seen a crazy amount of backers, because I was starting to lose hope that we'd hit 18k when I checked on Friday morning.  Now it's well on its way to 23k with a little under ten hours left.

There are a few people that check this thread out that may have the upcoming Studio Series 86 Optimus Prime on preorder.  Early orders are starting to ship and there is a problem with the feet.  In order for them to be corrected you will need to drive the pin out and switch the right to left and left to right and flip them.

See here for more details.  Right now I am tempted to just cancel my order at BBTS and just repurchase the Earthrise version that is back available again on Amazon.  (I recently sold my previous Earthrise version on FB for more than they are selling them for on Amazon.)

New addition to my 80s MIB collection. Always love adding GI Joe, but I still have avoided adding MOC figures out of O ring fears. 

Hers my new SLAM!

Was taking some shots of vintage Toybiz with the lightbox today and figured I'd share. I'm sure they'll bring back memories for some of you. Enjoy. 😊

Decided to pull everything out of storage and display it... 

Very impressive display.  

I'm a big Head Popper fan.  Had a hard time locating them lately.

Picked up a nice Kenner MASK collection that has several rare pieces. I'm thinking of investing the extra money to complete those before selling them. I think it would be worth it. Most of them need a little cleaning, as well...definitely loved by a cool kid at some point. 😊

This is a nice MASK lot.   Bit of everything. 

Since I've knocked a few other toy grails off my list, I've been thinking about picking up a Boulder Hill in the future.  

MASK is weird.  For me, I either find them in a feast or famine fashion.  

Started going thru my collection to inventory.  As a result, I've punted SO many figures and their masks.  Realized I don't need duplicates and someone else likely needs one.

I actually completed a bunch of them before listing them for sale. The rare ones will certainly be better off as a result...

I had the opportunity to grab a bunch of complete in box vehicles at one point.  I went thru them to help a friend price some Joe stuff and I found the Condor in one of the larger vehicle boxes.  I look back and think that was a mistake not grabbing them all.  But I did get my favourite one.

I really like the 80s MASK toys.  Some of them were nicely engineered.   For those that don't know, a company called "The Loyal Subjects" apparently has a contract with Hasbro to bring back MASK toys in 2025.  Looking forward to it.

For those that collect Marvel Legends, some cool pre-orders have started for vintage style 6" figures on Secret Wars cards.  An example here.
