Finally! Fen gets his Menasor. The world is at peace again.

Shajaki - That is an amazing find. Care share the story of where you stumbled over it?

No I'm NOT! Still awaiting on Guardian and Devastar. 4 months to go........ :-P

Btw, just noticed that battlescene, is that an homage to the DW covers?

To those inquiring minds, it all started with an aimless jaunt around town. Me and a buddy were beer'ing it on a patio and afterwords went for a walk. We stumbled upon a store I hadn't been to since I was a kid and was surprised to see even still existed. This real hole in the wall kinda place had a lot of random old toy/comic stuff but nothing too thrilling. Aside from mister God Neptune of course. Now, Shaki wouldn't need much convincing, but Shaki with a couple pints in him needed NO convincing :lol:

Congrats! I think he's great and I was surprised to see how rare he was among G1 toys when I got mine (loose). I dont know what makes him so special but I love him! Fair warning, he can yellow really easily.

Reminds me of my old SNES. Wonder if it's for the same reason...

Well, I whitened mine with the same procedure used to whiten SNES' so yes I am pretty sure it is the same effect.

I still need to try the whitening on my NES, SNES and G1 Scattershot. I've got a lot to bleach.

Dont use bleach, its tough to stick on and you might damage things. And plus you need a butload of it to dunk the plastic framing. What I recomend is the Hydrogen Peroxide solution used to bleach hair before you die it. It was only 10$ at the drug store and already comes in a nice pasty solution so you dont need to dunk. You just need to slather it on the area you want bleached, cover the rest and put it under a UV light. It will reverse the chemical reaction that the UV light created in the first place. Of course, if you dont have a UV light (I once threw a fun disco party at my house and thus had bought some) then you could just stick it outside in the sun and it will work. Leave it on for 2 days.

Here's a warning to the guys: NEVER go shopping with more than woman, especially at a liquidator store like Ross. It will get expensive fast and cramped in the car. My mother-in-law loves buying stuff for me and her daughter, and I'm quite weary of that (don't wanna be spoiled too much). :oops:

Still, it netted me this:

Age of Extinction Deluxe Class Lockdown

McKinney Ross, $5.99. They also had two Tracks Hot Shots, plus assorted Kre-O, Construct-Bots and whatnot. Not as grand as the one before me (white G1 figures are always a great find!), but a bargain's a bargain.

The bigger news to me is that you are with your in laws and at a Ross. So I am guessing the move went well? Glad to have you in North America!

Also, your comments were awfully masculine for a female rabbit...

For almost a month now. Finally settling in, but things are still kinda hectic. So I'm limiting my purchases quite a bit, thus you won't see me as much on here.

Tell them I'm a tomboy... :-$
