    U.S. Politics

    Well it still depends on where in Ireland you live and in what school system you are being taught. I mean "The Troubles" gets slightly different teachings based on Ireland versus Northern Ireland, and of course all sorts of religious holdovers still exist for Catholic and Protestant. History...

    U.S. Politics

    Well the US has been taking advantage of other countries lack of will in regards to implementing similar customs/border measures that have been in place for sometimes up to decades. I mean the fact that Canada allows the US to put custom/border agents in our airports to prescreen passengers is...

    Tracking toy tariffs

    The problem is the farmers keep getting bailed out. So the few that do lose their farms don't matter because they won't be around to cause problems. The ones who keep going will get the money they need to survive and as such they are not really hurt by their continued support for Trump and...

    G.I. Joe Classified Series

    Just got an email from Walmart Canada that my Beachhead/Quick Kick set is delayed and they will update me once they have a new expected delivery date. Also Crystal Ball is back in stock on Walmart.ca

    U.S. Politics

    Unfortunately the whole "history repeating itself" is probably what would happen. Instead of learning from the mistakes of the civil war, the Dems would probably go down the easy route that most countries go down after strife. Forgive and forget so we can move forward. The problem with...

    G.I. Joe Classified One-A-Day Beamish-Style Poll - #37 - Night Adder (Rise of Cobra)

    I had the version from 2001(?) with Tripwire. It was a cool look and I would be more than happy to get that version.

    U.S. Politics

    Pretty sure SCOTUS has been filled in on the Republican playbook that seems to be in effect in most red states. While in power give the Republicans/President everything and anything they want/need to control everything. Then once they are about to lose power, or lose power, go back on...

    One A Day 2.0: Day #182 - Guest Starring Ultra Seven: Rocket Racer

    Big HELL YEAH! for Big Wheel. Maybe on Master Pandemonium. I used to think I wanted a figure of him, but now I am not so sure.

    Masters of the Universe: Origins

    Hellfire Man looks great and I love the guitar. Too bad it will be torture to get up here (Canada) outside of maybe one or two etailers. Optimus and Starscream crossovers are cool looking (love Starscream's wings as axes). However still not interested enough to bite.

    G.I. Joe Classified Series

    That is an interesting thing to do but it is not a good thing for collectors. Now we are going to have super limited editions that they don't even bother to advertise? So if you are lucky enough to be online when it drops you might be able to order one of 82? Really just 82? Can't wait to...

    MONDO Masters of the Universe 1/12 and 1/6

    I think Mondo was smart to go with the 200X line because it has definitely been shortchanged over the years for figures. However with the current economic situation it might be a tough sell for the price on a subline of a bigger franchise. Though I do think if the movie does well it could...

    G.I. Joe Classified Series

    Well Walmart Canada (well I guess the one local one I went to today) seems to be slightly partaking in the special display thing you guys are seeing in the US. I found a little display hanger thing at the end of one aisle this morning. Near the back, close to the Legos. It had a title banner...

    G.I. Joe Classified One-A-Day Beamish-Style Poll - #37 - Night Adder (Rise of Cobra)

    Blind Master would be a pick up for sure. Not sure about that first pic though.

    Masters of the Universe: Origins

    Just got notice that my Mattel Creations order has shipped (She-Ra/Swiftwind). That was a fast turn around.

    Pass on Living Lightning.

    MONDO Masters of the Universe 1/12 and 1/6

    Now I know times are different but someone pointed out to me the fact that Clawful is only $35-$40 less than a bunch of Mondo's BTAS and other 1/6 figures (Faker was $165). It is crazy to think that a figure (roughly) half the size of a 12" figure is only a few dollars less. Now, again, I...

    Masters of the Universe: Origins

    $116.70Cdn after all was said and done for She-Ra and Swiftwind......ouch. Granted it was $90Cdn before taxes and shipping, so it wasn't that big of a surprise. Still that is a chunk of change. Yeah I was tempted to get a second set, but just can't after another round of preorders hit me...

    MONDO Masters of the Universe 1/12 and 1/6

    OOFAA!! Seeing these kinds of numbers reminds me of a bunch of times where I was tempted to purchase something from the US only to get to the final order page and see the 60%+ increase in price due to shipping and fees (plus exchange) and having to back away. Can't see how this line can last...

    G.I. Joe Classified One-A-Day Beamish-Style Poll - #37 - Night Adder (Rise of Cobra)

    I am mostly all in on Classified so there isn't a figure I would pass on per se, but this version of Dial-Tone would definitely be a "wait for a sale" purchase.

    MONDO Masters of the Universe 1/12 and 1/6

    Yeah the price was always going to be pretty high, but being basically the same as the RGB line in price is not really a good thing (at least to me). Glad I am not really interested in the line and Mattel doing the Origins (Cartoon) based line means if I really want to get some of the...

    U.S. Politics

    Honestly I wish I could be more optimistic about this but it doesn't change anything really. It was already a Dem seat and while it is good to have a member in their to vote the republicans still have enough of a majority to avoid doing anything (yet). Combined with the utter uselessness of...

    Last Series Watched

    Well I fell down another rabbit hole. Not a "series" but rather a Youtube channel that popped up on my suggestions: https://www.youtube.com/@WasteSomeTimewithJasonGreen This guy's channel does some great retrospectives on old TV shows and their filming locations (among other things). It...
