Thought I posted this here, too, but the other day I found reissue Movie Star Turtles Raph and Don at Walmart and this morning they had Leo and Mikey at the same store so now I have all three.

Also finally got myself a MOTUO Talon Fighter from Amazon. Originally it was supposed to arrive Friday but was never dropped off despite being on the truck, then no attempt was made Saturday, but it did get dropped off Sunday morning.

Figma P5 Violet is magnificent!

Speaking of P5, I recently bought the game again for Switch just to play it on the go. Full price, of course. But I don't care. P5 is worth every cents.

Remember the words of your master, your tutor, Evil moves fast, scalpers move faster.

Managed to get some of the £20 tmnt ultimates. On the hunt for the mousers which have previously been $25ish on ee.

Ace duck was a want because I wasn't that keen on necas and really didn't want the cartoon version mutagen man (like some other toon characters the figures were just 400 times better). Never saw Ace in that cartoon but always think of ric mayall for some reason, smoke me a kipper nd I'll be back for breakfast. Likewise I'll probably go for s7s ray fillet over necas for my adventures figures. Wingnut I'm still really undecided upon.

Scratch. I already have, he was on discount on EE even before stores got him in. I kept my preorder with a uk retailer anyhoos and he's proudly on display and will likely go yellow at some point. I'll keep him to replavlce mine down the line or maybe sell on (if it doesn't get claimed by gfs daughter).

Y O D a, yoda, yo yo yoda.


Which I'm having to hum otherwise I'll be saying 'I'm boba fett' to inanimate objects all day. Eeeewww.

Only had the blue guy with the rocket pack as a kid out of this lot

[blackeyedprime]

A few things today but a lot of dam Gun coming soon. *arrived

First of an impulse buy. I'm sure I've seen the Godzilla monster truck before and thought it was so obscure that it wasn't a buy. Today's mind, that's so obscure it's a must buy. It can go with my motu monster trucks and I'll really have to get big foot at some point - unless playmobil licences one.

Some f4. I passed on the set whilst cheap thinking they aren't the colors I want them to be (or why they are even meant to be, hasbro really did a mcfarlane on them), so I got exclusive invisible woman and what I thought was human torch flame mode. Turns out the exclusive is in the not retro toy/package art/tv series blue so I'll end up painting him and will just have to pay the no doubt higher prices now for Mr f and the thing. Or hasbro will release them accurate and my human torch becomes superfluous.

*gundam shtuff, fortunately not that many I want from witch from mercury just one or two left to get before I'm happy to stop on them.

Got some droids BOGO free from gamestop at very good prices, as well as the Brachiosaurus

[blackeyedprime]

Some turtles (well a turtle and a fish). Slash is a thing of beauty. Just waiting on the glow in the dark version of him now. Ray fillet... The anchor accessory has to be one of the most over the top and over done accessories. It didn't need to be as complicated as they made it, it almost deserves a shelve on its own.

My first mezco purchase. Kinda helps I've been to the home of popeye and likely returning at some point.

The figures do feel like ornaments rather than toys, which is fine for display.
The cardboard cafe isn't what I was expecting. I thought the box would be clever or at the very least potf cantina style. Instead a lot of 3m tape on it and no slots. Also a design flaw that the tape is on the wrong side of two side tabs. When built as us, it would have two blank tabs over the interior artwork.if the tabs are glued or taped at the back the back it can avoid that but will be noticeable on the rear.

Still, a very nice set and I'd be up for more comic strip characters done like this (garfield, peanuts etc)

Got MotU Origins Snake Mountain from Amazon yesterday. Not sure when I'll get around to opening it, may not have the space for it until Eternia comes out and I can get my display set up. Hopefully there's nothing broken in the box.

Fwoosh has their Sakit figure on sale for only $4 (normally $40) so I picked one up. Shipped for a total under $12. Wanted to get a feel for their figures before their Ninja Scroll anime figures start coming out next year.

got the BAF I wanted this week as well as some new Bionicle

[D-Maximal_Primal]

I got some important parts today. They were the pieces needed to restore my Toa Mahri Hahli to glory

[Emerje]

Got Motu Revelations Teela (the second one in her classic armor) Saturday and MotU Origins Lady Slither today, both from Mattel Creations.

Snake? Snake?! Snake!!!

Skeletor was probably keeping his bag of skeleton growing beans in chernobyl but they look great and will go nicely with cartoon d&d figures. My only critique is they should have had the hinged jaw like that one skeletor figure.

Artwork on all these boxes are art.

Bah... I had my thoughts and comments on all the figures and it got deleted.

So instead.

I have a secret to tell, from my electrical well

After killing Jason off and countless screaming Argonauts

The skelly are my toy of the year, they go with so many other things. Deadites, tick. Dnd tick, motu tick. Transformers.. why not?

[Emerje]

I got the last three of the Dungeons and Dragons cartoon kids from Gamestop as part of their big sale. That takes care of the cartoon, now I need to get the second wave of movie characters.

Had some good luck today. Hit the local surplus and salvage store and they seem to be just starting to put their Christmas toys out and found an S.H.Figuarts US release Super Saiyan Full Power Goku for $21, they currently sell for around $50. Going to have to go back soon to see what else they've got.

At Walmart they had a bunch of BSTAXN Avatar the Last Airbender Ang figures. Got an Air Temple version and his regular outfit version for $5 each!

[blackeyedprime]

Mattel and their weird, we will ship something out two days before your other item is due to be shipped, rather than send all at once.

So...

It's Vader time!

Also they like to go between collector friendly packages where they can be opened with out destroying the boxes and standard packaging on a whim. Makes these guys feel less retro in the easy remove boxes but no complaints.

[D-Maximal_Primal]

More Bionicle, man I am loving getting these things and building them right now

[Emerje]

I had to move two trypticons to I still don't know where, but worth it.

Snake mountain. Some red tinsel can double as lava if need be? Would definitely recommend a third party/3d printed bridge - or even getting crafty, as the smooth plastic sides and the way it sits is a bit meh.

[blackeyedprime]

Dunno if/when a new hope wave two ordered months before jedi will arrive but that's the fun of hasbro preorders. Ahsokas pretty poor, I might just pick up the barbarella leather man wanna be and the droids from that wave.

[Starseeker]

Got 5 Masterverse New Eternia figures for mad cheap. I really love these figures a lot. Mattel is doing a great job putting these original concepts into figure form. I like that you can give them these looks or their more traditional looks.
