Finally found a Star Wars Black Series 6" concept armor Boba Fett, while looking for a Capaldi Doctor (no luck).
Now I just need to hope that my wife didn't actually find one for me for Christmas.

Also saw the Black Series 6" Vader and Yoda. Completely laughable that those figures cost the same price.

I got from HTS my order of SW Black 6 inch stormtrooper,Bespin Luke,Han solo and Generations Arcee.

I found another Death's Head at Target today, so I have 2 (maybe) 3 to trade now...

Got the Clone Wars set from BBTS with the skiff and Clone Wars Anakin on super clearance. Got the idea to make the skiff a Dralthi kind of Kilrathi fighter from Wing Commander, since I have two of the drones Chief gave me from the ROCC that I intended to use for Wing Commander Federation fighters. Even saved my Luke and blonde fellow pilot(name eludes me now) from the comic pack to add a little gaming flavor. Now just have to research some good Kilrathi wing art to airbrush on the wings, and I am thinking of making a good feline Kilrathi fighter pilot to veer it away from the movie offerings.

I got that skiff from BBTS too a couple of weeks ago.
Great price. I'm hoping to use mine as a bigger ship for miniatures.

I got the Bearded Thor and another DC Black Mask from Target, then went next door to Ross and grabbed 3 AA Nick Fury's for the coat arms and coat. 1 was $3.49 and other 2 regular price of $4.99.

Gotta take the good with the bad. You get more than your money's worth with Chewie, you get less with Yoda.

We had our Christmas a day early since I have to work on Christmas day. Got a bunch of clothes for work which I can always use. In the last week and a half, we had to replace two tires and a battery on our vehicle which tapped out any chance of personal gifts between me and the missus. Necessity took the high road. My youngest son was upset as he wanted to get me something from him and his brother. I had commented about a month ago that the two-pack SW vehicle packs at TJM had potential for customs. My wife had hid away some fun money from her check with intent on picking the set up for me from the boys. When they went back, the sets were gone. My little guy got mad as he really wanted to get it for me, and my wife suggested that maybe they should try TRU next door. My wife had seen me looking at the last two 50th Joe Sets on-line. She noticed at TRU that surprisingly they actually got the female and snow packs. She told my son your dad really wants these. So he got them and gave them to me this morning. He was mad that Lady Jaye had a drifting eye and the Baroness' lips were painted poorly. He said "They should have done a better job, but I know that you can fix them". Good kid with a keen eye and good heart, and the missus is pretty freakin' awesome as well.

Merry Christmas, everybody!

Sigh. lol.

Not Joe-related DJ. Just of any kind of relevance to the people here. It's a broad definition...that you have to actively try to miss the mark on

anyway, my main Christmas haul


The Batman Files is excellent. The way the info is presented is entertaining, and its a solid resource for anyone working on a custom Bat-verse.

The Marvel book is done in the same style as the DC Encyclopedia which I already owned. Haven't dug into the Untold stories from the world of Ice and Fire yet, but looks interesting as well.

Got the Marvel phase 1 movie set (the one in the cool Shield briefcase) for Christmas, as well as the bluray of Guardians of the Galaxy. In recent days, I've picked up a Black Series Jabba on Amazon for $15, DC Unlimited Superman and Harley (whom I passed on initially, but I think I have a custom idea), a second Nintendo Link figure to customize, and an ass ton of games at the Steam Sale.

DarkJedi, thanks for mentioning Death's Head. I had no idea they even made one, and so I was looking around and there were 2 at Target today and I picked one up.

That is the first action figure I've paid full price for in 5 years, and probably the first one I've actually bought in 3.

Oh, and"suuuuuure, the avon manicure kit is for 'the joes' I'm believing that one.

So, we are visiting family at Fort Benning and went to PX. Found the Avengers Assemble wave and got 2 Falcons. Got another Joker and Black Mask from DC Multiverse. They had tons of Joker and Harlequin, but only one black Mask. Found a bunch of Marvel Infinite Wasps, but have enough of those. Picked up a Platinum Hulk from that wave, though. Also saw a different Multiverse Joker figure at TRU, but had no interest in it as articulation is like 5 POA. Hoping to hit Ollie's and Big Lots and see what they have.

Found the new Transformers Combiner Wars deluxe figures. Picked up Alpha Bravo, Dragstrip and Skydive. Left Firefly due to paint issues. No Optimus or Silverbolt to be found. This is the first time in a while I've been excited about a toy.
