Yeah, that's what did with my Terminator endoskeletons, and if I do that method with the turtles I may use something a little more substantial, due to their wrists being a bit thicker. Maybe using some Joe thigh screws.

Or I may try to locate some green or brown Revoltech joints, so they can have wrist tilt, along with swivel.

I'm a big fan of Lego levers for wrist articulation. They can be had cheap, on BrickLink. If you've got enough space in the hand itself for the ball end of the lever, you can give the figures ball jointed wrists.

Those Turtles are probably big enough, you could use Joe elbows, or Star Wars elbows or knees.

Actually yesterday, but...

I stopped at Ollie's and found several of the Marvel comic book 2-packs. Got the unmasked Juggernaut/Colossus set and 2x Mandarin/Silver Centurion Iron Man. Gonna see if I can bash the Mandarin parts onto a Retaliation Red Ninja.

Also stopped at Barnes and Noble and found a book called, "Military Uniforms Visual Encyclopedia" for $10. http://amzn.com/1907446990

650 Color Illustrations that remind me of the Osprey books color plates. I know I've seen a few of the illustrations as actual pictures of soldiers, so some artist has taken a pic and created a detailed painting of it.

There are quite a few Russian/Soviet soldiers along with some unique foreign troops, so it is pretty cool from a customizers's POV.

Actually got this yesterday.

I actually bought this last week at a local flea market of all places. The box has a dent, but it's not too bad. It was $60, so there really wasn't much room to haggle, since I thought it was more than a fair price. Heck, it's probably cheaper than the retail price at SDCC. To everyone else who frequents flea markets, I admire your patience. I've never seen so many people asking top dollar for abused toys and 90's comic books. It makes me wonder how serious they are about trying to make a sale.

I wonder if all big lots got in some of those or just the one you went to. If they did I hope they still have some come payday friday

_________________

$60 for the Starscream set is a "LASER BLAST" STEAL!!! I forget what retail was at SDCC, closer to $80 I think. But considering it goes for upwards of $200 on the aftermarket you should feel proud of that price.

got my 50th lady j and baroness from TRU.LJ is goo, baroness her face sucks bad

I got it for $160 shipped off ebay and feel like I got a good deal. $60 is just a ridiculous find.

_________________

I don't care if the box was on fire, that's an outrageous deal. I paid $100 for just the jet.

_________________

khaos, have you opened up the box yet to see if it is all there? I'm curious how complete it is.

_________________

The box was factory sealed, but I doused the tape with lighter-fluid to loosen it up and checked the contents. Everything was factory packed and all items were accounted for. Aside from the dent in the box, everything is about as good as can be expected. It's on the shelf right now keeping my Jet-Fire set company. I'm tempted to get the Shockwave set now, just to complete it.

I thought I got a decent deal, but based off everyone's responses, it looks like I got a steal on this one. Although it got me thinking about why the seller didn't just chuck this set on eBay to begin with, instead of hauling it to a flea market?

_________________

Probably had no idea what they had. Looking at ebay right now there are 2 auctions for under $100 and the rest are listed at $150 and up.
