I won't deny that for a second, but if I didn't have mine already.... I dunno. I'd be trying to find a way, probably unable to afford it (right now anyways), and be weeping about it

I wouldn't let you! I'd tell you that it wasn't worth it! Patience, grasshopper!!

You know I'm patient, but something like this? An uncirculated black market item? Can't take chances on waiting for another (cheaper) one to surface!

Hasbro interviewing a potential photographer:

H-"Have you ever seen A toy, in your entire life?"

P-"Nope, not even familiar with the concept."

H-"You're hired."

I just don't understand the thought process that went into this design......

I'm not a huge fan of titan D3vestator, but at least that made sense. This is just a huge swing and a miss.

Honestly I don't think this will be any different. Like Devs, I'm expecting not great, but fun. And to have whatever deficiencies corrected by 3P's

Oh to has all teh monies....

My goodness!

Not gonna lie... I'm pretty tempted to sell one of mine...

And to think, I was going to open one too!

Holy smokeys...

Dammit Cary...

Recently got an order in from Reprolabels.... I'm feelin a little like the honeymoons over

It took a friggin MONTH to get here. And I'm getting less and less impressed with their plastic pieces. I preemptively bought a set for the Carry reissue, and the van spoiler piece is pretty ratchet.



The quality of plastic doesn't feel great (as per usual, is it 3D printed?) and it looks like the tip was lightly chewed by a dog. I'm torn between asking for a new one and trying to sand it myself

Oof, that does look a bit sloppy, Shaj. :/

I'd say to ask, and while you wait for the replacement, tweak this one!

Fired off an email, time to test their customer service

I just settled a stupid and frustrating incident with them, and their customer service was GREAT! They took care of it, and hooked me UP! I hope Rebecca responds to you. She's a little Canadian angel!

Rebecca came through! I said I was dropping another order and asked if I could get a spoiler replacement thrown in. She said sure, and to throw away the old one

I won't tell the whole tale, but I had some account issues, and do to their system, I couldn't reset my password, which caused me to miss out on a 30% off sale. I wrote and asked for account help, and if they would honor the discount. At first she said yes, but the discount would be store creds. Then she came back with 40% and no shipping!

If I wasn't a married man, I would take Rebecca and ......................

Catching up time!!

So..you are getting the Carry reissue?! What?! I thought I was the only one!! Also, my spoiler isn't that bad, there definitely are ones that are like that though on the TFW thread I may sacrifice the canopy/spoiler that I have from my original G1 Hot Rod (other than his pistols, it's the only thing I have left from him ) as I've seen those modded and they look great.

When customer service at ToyHax gets back to you, they definitely take care of you. It's why I keep going back!!

What? Of course I am! You and me were the only ones talking about it in the Carry thread!

So I just went on a mini spending spree... nothing too crazy, but its been a while since I've done anything of the sort. Some neat stuff too, can't wait for it all to trickle through the mail

HUZZAH!! Carry for us!! I’m pretty excited. I don’t know what I’m gonna do to “fix” the Targetmaster guy. Maybe just extend the handle so it can be held. Excited to Reprolabel him up though!!

So whatcha buy?! I haven’t gone on a buying spree since last summer!!

itscramtastic wrote:So whatcha buy?! I haven’t gone on a buying spree since last summer!!

Ehh... you know me. I don't like announcing stuff until it's actually arrived. In case the boat gets eaten by a whale or something

Stupid boat eating whales!! Makes sense to me though. That's why I've stopped saying what I'm going to buy. For the most part.

I went and saw Solo! I dish on it over here

I read your dish! Pretty much feel the same here, but a little more disappointed in Aldo Aldriechstien (or whatever his name is).

didn't hate him, but thought Han deserved a little better casting. He didn't need to look just like him, just be more like him. Swagger, tude, etc.

Still had a ton of fun and liked the story.

CHEWIE! ALL DAY! ALL NIGHT!
Love that guy, and loved his introduction.

Pretty good write up Shaj, totally agree on most all the things.





I have yet to see the movie.
