I always wanted the NES deco one too, if I ever spot one cheap in the wild, it shall be mine

Never played Metroid proper, or Metroid 2. But I played the F out of Fusion and Zero. I had a SP back in the day... probably gave it away when I got the first DS cause it plated GBA's. But my ex bought me that NES GBA off eBay (sealed!) which blew me away. I'd been talking about how I wanted to play my Link to the Past GBA and how I thought the NES GBA looked cool, then she ran with it :lol:

I know for a fact I'll get a Switch, just not when. It'd help if stores actually got stock :roll:

Turribull news. I forgot my GBA and new games at work for the weekend :-(

I hate it when that happens, shaj.

I got the WiiU near the end of its life, but I basically buy a console after a must-have is released. I've kinda slowed my roll there, but I am about 100 hours into Persona 5!

A modest local Botcon netted me a pile of Bayformers!

That Payload and Rampage are 2 figures I have been keeping an eye out for, just cause :lol:

DOUBLE SOUNDWAVE!! I think I still have the standard one buried somewhere. :lol:

News Credits: 293 · by **shajaki** » Mon Jun 26, 2017 12:29 pm

Oh man! Payload is awesome and I don't even know who he is! :lol:

Jolt is pretty great. Sideways is turribul. Rampage... what? Terradive is expecedly wonderful. The Conehead Seekerish dudes arent the best, but I already knew that and love them jus cuz. Soundwaves are neat(!) but I wish their torso's solidly clicked together. The ice cream idiots are cool too, but ones got a busted arm *single tear*. And Ravage, even though he only has one mode (no I am not calling that other thing a mode) is super duper.

Winners of the day? Payload and Ravage

Oh, and I got them all for 10 bucks a piece 8-)

Quite a day... quite a day.... Mr.Mailman was kind enough to bring me two packages today. What's in box number one? :-?

Why it's none other than my first actual vintage G1 figure (besides my childhood TF's and reissues), Jetfire!!!

The bot is so clean, white, and pristine which was my main focus. The armor bits are in decent shape, but I'm a little bummed. The two inner calf clips are missing, and left forearm piece is scratched. Relatively free of stress marks though. Also no gun/clip, but I was aware of the latter.

Now what if I told you this wasn't even the highlight of today's mail...? :-?

Depending on your collecting habits, this will either be really impressive, or you'll not even bat an eye :lol:

Lets start the journey shall we?

Hmmm.... not very big...

Figuarts figure? Noooopppeee.... 8-}

It's two thin something's!

Maybe we're starting to figure it out....

Ya see it now??! That's right. I FINALLY found the cancelled/un-released MP-23 Exhaust Coin!!!
