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.)

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.

Leaked image of the Jean Grey minifigure from the upcoming, (but unannounced) X-Men Mansion set.

Why? hm

If it's like the Bugle and other such sets, they're $250-350 here, and I'm trying to save as much as possible for a new kitten at the end of the year. Yet an X-Mansion is just too cool to pass on.

Here are the details:

Release date is November 1st which means that it will probably get announced a week earlier than that.

Piece count is a little over 3,000 pieces.  Leakers say, 3, 093 pieces. 

Price is $329.99 USD- DE/FR €329.99 - UK £289.99 so expect it to be more down where you are.
