    Studio Series

    I got Thundercracker at Walmart. I was at an out of town store and opened him in the parking lot just in case I needed to run back in for an exchange. He was fine, but while I was in my car, I thought he looked and felt cheap. However, that changed when I got home where I'm quite happy with him...

    Age of Primes

    Trying to decide if I need Bruticus. I didn't start building Superion and Devastator until all the pieces were available, then I plowed through them in one day through either in-store or Amazon buys (I think Mixmaster came from nerdzoic). It may be wiser to pick up one Combaticon at a time to...

    Masters of the Universe: Masterverse

    You know how Target has shopping carts filled with random items to filter back to the pegs and shelves? I spotted something nice on the top of a cart as I was leaving the toy aisle, Anti-Eternia He-Man...and he scanned at $11.99. I rummaged through the cart and pulled Mosquitor, but came up...

    Tracking toy tariffs

    I haven't had an answer back from them. I didn't pay any shipping, but I also didn't realize I was paying for the figure in advance. I figure if shipping + tariff stays under $55, then the cost will be under BBTS' price if I include sales tax + $4 shipping.

    Tracking toy tariffs

    I didn't notice my email until I saw your post. My figure landed in the private warehouse. I'm a hobby-genki noob. I think I'm supposed to contact them and request a shipping invoice?

    MPG Line

    Welp, I got the urge to put a preorder in at Amiami for MPG-17 &,19.

    Quitting/putting collecting on pause

    I tossed some Hot Toys boxes away when I didn't think there was enough value in the boxed figure compared to the value I placed on saved space, like the umpteenth ScarJo. I've also made some mistakes by throwing away boxes for random unlicensed 1/6 figures. For 1/12, I bag the extra...

    Quitting/putting collecting on pause

    I don't think I've sold any loose import figures, but I didn't feel there was a dramatic difference in the Mezco prices at the time. There is some packaging I feel is flat out plain and boring. I would include most Mezco in that category, at least the stuff I had. That reminds me, I also threw...

    Quitting/putting collecting on pause

    I threw away almost all my Mezco one:12 boxes, then about six months later I sold them all loose. I kept a handful of figures and packaging, like Space Ghost, the Conans, tins of Christopher Reeve and Wolverine. I have some regret throwing away the imports and 1/6 boxes, even with the figures...

    GI Joe x TMNT toys coming.

    They finally showed these? It's Chad mentioned these nearly a year ago. I posted about it on the fwoosh at the time.

    Gong Studios Hush Batman

    My figure was finally delivered over the weekend. I say "finally", even though it didn't spend an outrageously long time in transit. His joints feel like they're moving well and I can't find any weird issues with the wrong parts. All the musculature outlines of his legs appear correct.

    Inart 1/12 Figures

    I saw Johny Nostalgia put her on his list, then Robo spent something like 5 minutes explaining why he didn't include her on his since since she wasn't available yet and it was a copy sent to him from inart. Yeah, yeah, Robo we get it, you got an advance copy, jeeze. Not 1/12, but inart live...

    Toy purchase disappointments

    I'm working up the motivation to at least halve my remaining neca TMNT cartoon. I've sold off a few here and there over the year. I already mentioned this in KO Star Wars thread, but my biggest disappointment at least for this year was Play One Twelve Galactic Hunter. A 1/12 Boba Fett with soft...

    Top Ten Figures Of 2025

    Hot Toys Spider-Man (Japan 1978), the next morning after ordering, I was driving into work wondering why I needed a Japanese Spider-Man that was even pricy by Hot Toys standards. A Spider-Man I'm really only familiar with through gifs and an occasional YouTube video. Those doubts were quickly...

    Gong Studios Hush Batman

    I'm still waiting. The hand off from Yanwen to USPS has been ongoing since 12/26 at 10:15pm. They're in NJ, I'm in CT. I could've walked there. The Yanwen to USPS is a bit different from what I've been seeing since August. I've been getting Yanwen to UniUni, which has been very efficient. The...

    Xesray Combatants Fight For Glory figures.

    I got a processing soon email on 12/23. In the meantime, 5K had listed their extra stock and now appears to be sold out. I didn't bother to jump on it, since my BBTS is just an extra. 5K did raise their price from the original preorder to be more in line with BBTS.

    2025 vintage toy finds

    I'm at the local semi monthly comic show waiting for my brother. The show leans more toward comics, so nothing too crazy for toys. A vintage X-Wing that needs some clean-up. Stickers are faded, but the yellowing isn't terrible. I've seen worse for more money on ebay. A decent looking loose...

    Wrestling Toys (Mattel WWE, Jazwares AEW, etc.)

    I was in the camp that thought he was the "cool" Shield member. This particular figure doesn't have the best likeness of Mox from their releases so far, but the price was right and he had an appropriately cringey "Death Jitsu" cloth shirt.

    Wrestling Toys (Mattel WWE, Jazwares AEW, etc.)

    The Mutant Module was also on clearance at Target, $20. Taz: "What's the Mecha Drill doing driving through the AEW Arena!?" Excalibur: "That's Jon Moxley!" Tony Schiavone: "Whoa! Ha Ha!" WWE was recently talking about some AI nonsense. I don't want to give Tony Kahn and Moxley any ideas...

    Wrestling Toys (Mattel WWE, Jazwares AEW, etc.)

    @Damien You're exactly right. It's not lost on me that it's very hypocritical and it's like I'm giving a selective pass to the guy. You also touched on something in you response to Rick that gets to me. I hate having the feeling nearly every contractor or guy in the trades I'm dealing with is...

    Wrestling Toys (Mattel WWE, Jazwares AEW, etc.)

    Thank Goodness George picked Carrie, Mark, and Harrison. Maybe Carrie liked to overindulge a bit, but they all made it through mostly scandal free or did nothing too egregious, as far as a I'm aware. I find Hulkster personally problematic because I'll still buy figures of him in 80s style trunks...

    Marvel Toys on Sale

    Venom/Cap is a $48.44 clearance price on Target.com. I'm surprised that one didn't sell out at my store as of Christmas Eve morning.

    The TNA figures must be closing in on 2 years since their preorder. I have a Powertown Jordynne Grace on preorder. They offered a take your pick of a free series 1 figure as an apology for being late on their current preorders. This was back in Oct 2024, I got a Stan Hansen from them. I got...
