    Action Force and Valaverse

    @canprime I haven't seen the latest episode. That's kind of a surprise Weber left, but also maybe not really. Bobby is likely an insufferable jerk of a boss. Did Webber feel underutilized? What was his role, it sounded like he was doing a lot of order fulfilment, like packing and shipping. I...

    I think the two I have so far make nicer stand alone Transformers compared to the Aerialbots and Constructicons.

    Quitting/putting collecting on pause

    Sometime between 6 & 8, I thought the lady truck drivers on BJ & the Bear were hot. Btw, that's not one of the ladies sitting on the door window by the mirror. That's Bear, he would drive around the country with his human, BJ McKay, in their 18 wheeler trying to avoid Sheriff Lobo. Then there...

    Age of Primes

    Target's sale put me on the road to Bruticus. Here's how it's gone so far. On Friday, I saw Brawl at Target, but didn't buy him because I wasn't committed yet. That was the same day I bought Starscream at Walmart and realized Walmart and Target are still at the lower prices. Brawl was gone on...

    Tracking toy tariffs

    KaijuDaddy's guest said he had something at Amiami waiting to ship since early December!? I took BBTS up on their tariff surcharge policy of refunding nrds. They said $30 would be added to a Verycool Mai Shiranui. That would push it to nearly $80 over Giantoy's price. Three to four months...

    Xesray Combatants Fight For Glory figures.

    It's looking like BBTS oversold on this one. Maybe I was too late or the algorithm is punishing me for too many Transformer cancellations. I don't need another one, but I could've got one from 5K when they released their stock after the 2nd payment window. My preorder is still up, but are they...

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

    I said my Nikki figure had loose torso, no idea what you guys are going on about.

    I guess the best we can say is we should have it sooner than BBTS. I'm still waiting on BBTS for SHF Cyclops

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

    The Nikki I got from RSC also had a loose torso. Sometimes I think Viet Nam doesn't fully have Mattel's manufacturing dialed in yet. I got Amazon's UE HBK today. I noticed I didn't preorder UE Rhea. I thought I did and now I had to order for the backorder window in April. Back...order...

    Quitting/putting collecting on pause

    I just thought of one of the mistakes I made as a seller. For the first five years or so as a frequent seller, any money coming in was going back out toward new toys. It's only been in the last three or four years where I've seen an appreciable decrease in the amount I have, mostly by pulling...

    Currently assessing my bagged and binned GI Joes, also should be in the market for a label maker because nothing is classier than labeling bins with blue painter's tape and a sharpie. Gotta work on cutting back on new Classified purchases. I was mostly happy with ML 2025 where I got down to a...

    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?

    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...
