Same here. Not a day has gone by since I got it that I haven't grabbed a few customs off the shelves and set them up in the throne room. It's the props that really make it sing, too: all those little details sitting on their tables and shelves is like a dream come true for me, toy-wise. I've also seen some amazing toy photos that utilize the shadows cast by the grating in the ceiling, and it's something I wouldn't have thought of until I saw how much it makes the playset come alive. They can make as many of these kinds of sets as they want, and I'll buy them all.



I'm working on a CAD model of something to solve that issue right now: a little wall extension piece to attach to the mini-dio archway. It won't attach to the throne room walls, but it will line up with the curvature of the outer wall and eliminate the gap.

I'm trying to decide if I want the actual stairs to the right or just the archway and an attached photo of the stairs. Oh the age old dilemma, how much more functional do I want this to be and at what cost and time?

These guys arrived much earlier than expected...




Now as soon as I get Hawk, Ripper, Torch, Helix, Airborne, & Ripcord, I can probably stop collecting these

Oh, and this dude was on sale for Prime Day (ironic), so I snagged him as well:



Passed on BeachcomberBumblebee, though.

I passed on D&D Hank and Bobby. Was making a mental list for the pre-Christmas savings night Ollie's has coming up early December.

Stopped at Dollar General and got 2x of the female diver sets from the Wild Quest line.

Also got about 12 DVDs and Blu Rays, including the complete Honeymooners, and 5 books for $8 at the annual Friends of the Library book sale.

I forgot I also picked up 5-6 Final Faction gold Arrow vehicles and 3x gold vehicle weapons packs.

Marvel Epic Heroes Hulk for $8 USD (normal price $14.86).

The "holiday" season is ramping up so i think i'm going to keep it MIB for a month to see if the price drops further. I'll never turn down a large figure body that i can use for big customs but i'd have been happier with $7 for custom fodder. Still.... i'm content (enough) with $8.

So many G.I. Joe Classified (and other Hasbro lines) dropping recently. Snow Serpents, Trip-wire, Grunt, Steel Corps, the Night Force Big Ben and Range Vipers that Wal-mart had everyone panicking about a few months ago. Plus my SDCC/Pulsecon Chuckles and Crimson Strike Team sets are on the way.

Star Wars TVC Black Krrsantan and Sabine as well as the cartoon inspired Ewoks set arrived along with some of the Black Series Ahsoka series figures.

Marvel Legends have been slower. I only picked up recently the X-Men '97 figures which will go nicely in my animated figures collection. I have some coming including the newest Daredevil wave as well.

Indiana Jones Adventure Series wave 3? 4? ... the Last Crusade wave arrived. The Last Crusade Indy with the tie has his hat attached to his head with what feels and moves like a barbell joint so it can be posed. I guess if it isn't going to be removeable at least it can be moved around.

NECA Gargoyles figures have been coming out regularly since my last post too. Eliza, Xanatos (armored and unarmored) have arrived and Lexington just hit my BBTS POL. That's everything that has been up for preorder. Need them to solicit the figures they've shown at shows recently.

Lego... oh so much Lego. That's the rabbit hole I've fallen down recently. Getting bulk Lego to use for Mega Construx MOTU and G.I. Joe Kre-O sets along with gathering sets for my crazy idea of a Lego City I'll probably never build.

And what store has this reduced price? I, too, would like to buy a cheap Hulk.

Amazon.ca

In the wee hours they had Epic Thor, Iron Man ($5.87 CAD) and Hulk ($9.87 CAD) for @50% off. However you couldn't find them in a regular search initially. Now you can find then but the price on Iron Man has gone back up to $11.99. I passed on Iron Man last night as I had no use for him. If Thor goes lower I'll grab him for parts.

It's price watching time.

Got some Star Wars TVC figures yesterday. A couple of the Imperial Officer 4-packs which will make for some nice background filler. The TVC Black Krrsantan which I think would make a great sasquatch with a little paint and minor changes. And the animated Ewoks Wicket and Kneesa 2-pack which is just too cute to open. I may get a second set of these though. Too cute not to open.

And a shipping notification for my SDCC Classified Chuckles.

I got ReAction Hawk, Buzzer and two Crimson Guards.

I went out and did some Birthday shopping this weekend.

From Target I got some ReAction JOEs: Jedi Duke, Mutt, and the MP. All were $9.99 through Saturday.

Sunday I went to Ollie's and picked up a Marvel Wat If? Captain Carter for $10 and a set of the Crimson Twins (Classified) Tomax and Xamot for $5 each.

From Wal-Mart I got another Fortnite Isabelle and a Fusion in white.

Got my second Black Major/Red Laser figure today. I do believe it was pieced together as I haven't seen it before.

Haven't got a name for him yet but I have armed him with a black Firefly backpack and a Retaliation Snake Eyes v47 SMG.
