All 3 of us are doing good, she had to have some stitches put in, but she is recovering well

I got something in today that I have been eagerly awaiting since last November: the "Checkers or Wreckers" Ross Chastain 1:24 diecast car, commemorating the highly memorable "Hail Melon" move he pulled. He was already my favorite driver, and that move cemented him as my favorite for a good time to come. The diecast reproduces the final raced version of his car, including his wall riding damage

I am a tad late on sending this but wanted to say congratulations on the newest addition to the family. She looks amazing and a beautiful name as well. Glad to hear your wife and Eleanor are both doing well brother,

Btw, nice addition on the Ross diecast car.

Appreciate that man, thank you.

I was so excited for the Hail Melon car, and it is certainly lives up to the hype

After 2 years, I FINALLY found this poster again, and got to hang it back up!



i also had to update my mecha shelf with my newest beast boxes. Can YOU identify them all?





And finally, my favorite G1/G2-oriented shelf

Who is that big red bot in the first picture?

That is my custom Maximus Prime, I made him about 4 years ago

I was able to mess around with my Fans Hobby Boss and Stalker this week, and they are a pair of good releases, even if Boss has a REALLY hard time holding his weapon. I kinda regret not getting their Pyro now.

And I had to update a couple of shelves, including the "Mp and random stuff" shelf these 2 ended up on. I am pretty happy with how they look. and it also goes to show how tall Stalker is

They look good on the shelves brother. I do love that Stalker. It would have been great to attend that convention and buy him there.

I bought this release of Gwen solely for this reason right here

They really did peak with the CW Megatron alt mode, didn't they?






Spent a bunch of time this weekend retooling my shelves, here are the results of the shelves that were modified. The top circle shelf of cons is set temporarily, as once I order Nemesis, she will go there and they will be moved around her.

MMC Transtech Cheetor is a gorgeous thing

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




Mahri Hahli now looks proper alongside her Inika self, as well as Inika Jaller and Matoro




And now, some Toa Inika Matoro pictures

Man that Cheetor is amazing, love how he looks. I used to have quite the collection of Bionicles when i was in Germany, unfortunately once i got back to the states i got rid of them. I had some of the big guys too. They are awesome. Glad you are getting some completed.

I only ever had the first series of Bionicle stuff but I miss them greatly. I did have almost the complete range of the Bionicle precursor kits like Slizers (throw-bots in the USA, and Robo Riders)

I have never even heard of those precursors!

They were loads of fun, but had limited scope of where they could go, unlike with Bionicle which exceeded expectations.

So i dug through some files from Germany and was able to find two photos that show what i had in regards to Bionicles. I will apologize up front on the photo quality. I left them alone without cropping them, so you might be able to tell what some of them are. I guess i wasnt that invested on better photos back then. This was the basement of a house my wife was renting from some local Germans. It was a great room as you can see what i had besides my Transformers which were on the right side of this room.

They were fun.

that is an AWESOME room!

That said, you should not have shown me those Bionicle.... Several of those are on my hunting list, and that big golden one on the right 2nd shelf down? He is hard to find for under $500 complete now...

Hahaha, thought you might like that. I kind of kick myself in the butt for getting rid of them it it was at a different time between moving from overseas and had to downsize . So much of the Lego/Megablocks along with the Bionicles went bye bye. Thats crazy on the price for that one.

Back to the room, it was amazing, Again you cant see the rest of the Transformer collection but it was an awesome space to have.

I kinda regret that my bionicle collection was so small, I feel like I could have had a ton of fun with those guys. But, if anything, at least I appreciate them a lot more now.

That space truly looks great, I really love it. I love when we can have good collection rooms like that

If i had a room like that in my current house, id be in trouble. I am just thankful when we bought our house here in Missouri, the consideration and support from my wife was to have a room for my collection. While it is clearly smaller than that one in Germany, i still have a dedicated room.

I got a hodge-podge of stuff this week





And I am enjoying my non-TF related stuff this week too

More Bionicles, how many do you have now?

I see you got the Beast Machines Battle Unicron. Thats one i would like to add to my collection. Im holding out for one that is alittle cheaper than what i am seeing so far.

Battle Unicorn is a fantastic piece, good job on getting it.
