    Action Force and Valaverse

    I used to have a Jakks UFC collection. Really can't imagine starting one today.

    Age of Primes

    I don't know what it is with Transformers, but a disappointing Transformer annoys me more than a similarly disappointing action figure. It's a big part of the reason why I had to get out for a little while. I was on the fence with Powerglide. Will definitely not by due to Norm.

    Action Force and Valaverse

    This guy makes me wish I didn't sell my Germans. Repurpose those pants for some post-appocolyptic flair.

    Action Force and Valaverse

    I used to have a decent amount of 1/6 Germans, but never interested in leadership, not even someone like Rommel. I was buying them because I liked the camo and equipment or uniforms like the fallschirmjager and seasonal colors. That's a problem I see with this line because I assume Bobby will...

    Selling Toys - Horror Stories & "Happy" Customers

    When I started selling about 10 years ago, I was doing a lot of Basic Mattel WWE. They're not fragile, I could sell individual figures for $10 in a white bubble mailer with around $1.80 postage to anywhere in the country.

    Action Force and Valaverse

    Bobby said he has very limited quantities of the Black, Jester, and Hyun for a show this Saturday about 50 miles from me. Horsemen will be there too. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like I can make it. That's too bad, I could've done a sit down interview with Bobby for Articulated Thoughts and...

    Mattel MOTU Chronicles Movie Figures

    There was a single figure left at my Target after work today. One He-Man and I bought him. I would've left any other figure because my plan is to sit out the movie figures. We'll see how long that lasts. They also had a row of Battle Cats. Unrelated, the amount of Motu x Transformers on...

    NECA - General Thread

    Add ultra-mate/ultra-mit to popular toy brand pronounciations I've heard. Mah-fex/May-fex Block-ees/Bloke-ees Jah-duh/Jay-duh Neck-ah/Neek-ah Has-bro/Has-blow SH-Fig-u-arts/SH-Figure-Farts I made the last one up, but have you seen some of those waists and crotches lately?

    NECA - General Thread

    I never did get a Power Loader, so I ordered one from BBTS. $10 more than neca, though.

    Mattel DC Figures

    Ah, a new place to complain about Mattel WWE pack outs. The woman in the WWE Basic are practically scalper bait when it's their first time figure. I find them to be, without a doubt, the most difficult figure to find at retail.

    NECA - General Thread

    Is this already being talked about somewhere else? Rambo, Dutch, John Matrix, Ripley, and Colonial Marines would make me Ultra tingly. (I don't know what's going on with my Instagram link)

    The "Why Does BBTS Carry This?" Thread

    There's a Socialism Monopoly on Amazon! It's still a few tiers above Today Show Monopoly which has the very unfortunate square, "Go directly to Matt Lauer's office; Do not pass Go, Do not collect $200". That's a terrible thing for me to write. I should be banned from posting for at least one day.

    Studio Series

    That's right, I would've had Cliffjumper with clear windows. Ironhide and Ratchet were better deals than I thought, considerably lower than eBay. I'm close to having my Hasbro Transformers back to where I want them without having the excess I had before.

    The "Why Does BBTS Carry This?" Thread

    Here's the type of BBTS item I don't get, "Monopoly: The Today Show Edition". I always see items like this pop up in BBTS' clearance section when I'm scrolling for hidden gems. Is BBTS required to sell other Hasbro product outside the typical action figure category? Is it done to get favorable...

    Quitting/putting collecting on pause

    For those of you who are not Transformers collectors, here is my post from the TF board describing my time at today's comic & toy show rebuying Transformers I sold a few years back: "I went to a small comic/toy show today and rebought Kingdom Cyclonous for $22. Not sure if that means I don't...
