Hell, yeah; to all the above. The CoD Zombie would be a good base for melty-guy version of Emil, lol. Do want MegaBloks RoboKain with removable brain and insertable Nuke canister.

Got lucky today, and at the Walmart all the way up here in Fairbanks Ak, I found a lone Teela, 2 Beastmen, and the Destiny single cards. One of which uses the female torso. Glad I got a shot at Teela. Didn't think I would actually see her. So if they are filtering their way up here, they might be in more Walmarts in the lower 48. We are almost always the last place that gets toys.

This is off-topic, but I'm amazed to hear Fairbanks has a Wal-Mart. I grew up there in the early 90s and we only had Fred Meyers, as I recall. It was a huge deal when a 2nd Fred Meyers opened. Lol

^ That suprised me a bit as well. "Walmart...in Fairbanks? Times have changed....". What's the population like compared to Anchorage these days ?

We lost Sam's Club a few weeks ago. That really hurt local Restaurants. The old Fred Meyer on College Road was closed, and a new one built right behind the Walmart. Walmart came in 2004. It was a huge deal. The Army held company formations in the parking lot during the Grand opening. Fred's West on Airport way was renovated and looks really nice. K-mart is long gone. They renovated the store, added a grocery section, and it looked really good, then a few months later they closed it. The military population is much bigger. There are several new units at FT Wainwright, and Eielson. You probably would not even recognize Wainwright, it has grown quite a bit. Unemployment is high. It is hard to find work. I am very fortunate and work for the DOD, and my wife works for the school district. If you are unskilled labor, I don't know how its possible to make it, especially with Sam's closing. They laid off around 200 people. They closed all the Sam's in Alaska. I only make it down to Anchorage about once a year. It is to much of a drive to do often, and flying, renting a car, and a hotel are to expensive to do it that way. Fred's is horrible about stocking toys. Walmart is only slightly better. I have purchased most of my Mega Construx stuff through Amazon, I did beat someone to the punch and managed to get 6 alien drones. That was amazing. Scalping seems to run rampant, or else the demand is just really high. Glad I don't collect very much anymore.

Wow, that's so wild. I remember, now, that K-Mart was supposed to be coming in after we moved in '93. I always tell my wife that I'd love to move back, but it's more of a pipedream than anything else. It's sad to hear about the unemployment situation. Even before hearing that, I wondered about the job situation.

I just found some Star Trek sets at Dollarama for $4 each!
They have the Guardians of Forever with Kirk, McCoy and two red shirts and the Day of the Dove with Chekov, Scotty and two Klingons.

New HEROES news!
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=FTIWdNrse ... e=youtu.be

Fox Mulder? Huh. Yeah....yeah I can see myself picking him up. AND of course I'm picking up any and all motu.

Oh wow, those new CoD figures look great! And... Scareglow (of course, because that's one I already made a custom of) and ... Anti-Eternia He-Man? Nice.

Great news indeed.
I think that I could army build the green dude from the Care Package series.
Mulder could be a nice way to add characters in suits just like Xavier did for 1/18.

Looking forward to these new heroes. I've been playing a lot of Xcom 2 lately, and the COD Advanced warfare stuff really screams Advent to me. The helmets are very similar. A grey alien to fill the sectoid role would be awesome. I would have been in 7th heaven with this line as a kid. I hope we get to see some building sets in addition to the heroes. They really need to repurpose the World of Warcraft creatures for He-Man.

The sentry from the checkpoint set and the gas mask head from the Urban Strike mix very well together.


I really like how the new hats are interchangeable.

The lack of availability and offerings online has caused me to not follow what Mega puts out as closely as i have in the past . Every time i make more than a cursory check on what's been made ..i see several things that i want.

Mega Construx continues to quietly offer the best overall action figures out IMO (taking price and articulation into account).

Once again.....beautiful toys : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=txAKLLsRh0E

They're flat-out the best action figure line on (some) retail shelves at any scale, imho. You gotta go online-only to find anything better; but you'll never find anything cheaper or with a better dollar value, either. I wish they'd experiment with more figures closer to 18th, like that Promethean guy that came with the Halo plane I didn't get.
