At least you got the 2007-2017 backlist.
This run started decently and quickly became amazing.

Even most of the movie stuff was great.
Sad to admit I didn't get many of the vehicles.... however I think I have like 5 of

That 25th anniversary Joe release ignited a sickness within me. I have literally every single figure released (including the yellow Stalker error figure) on my wall. Pursuit of Cobra, too. Those PoC figures were nice.
Non-Joe related, picked this guy up last week. I made the dock base for him.
Should have called it Schedule Buster ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
And you know what, fuck it. I'm picking up Leonidas. Lion mode is pretty eh but that robot mode...
Surprised with how blatant the Maximal symbol is, though. All that's missing are the eyes.

Alternators and Binaltechs are ones I'm sorry I missed. I picked them up whenever I come across them at a good price. The only TFs that I prefer in alt mode.
Something else I'm bitter about missing the first time. Definitely picking this up and probably their Optimal Optimus too.

PoC line was so good, wish it wasn't curtailed.
I really wanted to see the finalized version of
Yeah, they had really nice alts. My main problem with that line was how samey some of them ended up looking in robot mode.

What would Diggeh have if I didn't continue supplying him with endless Hulkbuster jokes.

I was so excited when Binaltech and later Alternators hit that I ended up with like 5 Smokescreens, Japan & US versions, simply because I liked the line so much.
Sure do wish Optimus/Nemesis weren't such pieces of shit, though.

So a company that reissues old figures in new packages is doing figures for a company that reissues old games in new packages. Sounds about right.

First time getting hit with customs by an Amiami shipment, 46 dollars uuuuuugh.
Someone should do a display of these 2 together though:
Yeah that was my first thought. That X looks pretty bad too. For the price and scale I guess you can't really complain.

Huh, wow, those are some great looking Joe stuff. Loved the cartoons (wished Renegades got a 2nd season), but rarely got into the toys, maybe I should get into it.
$1100 here with the exchange rate. It's going to come don't worry.

does anybody know a good place to buy the Bandai Star Wars model kits other than ebay/amazon? I really wanna get that General Grievous.

Well I learned my lesson, sold off my loot from JoeCon and essentially paid off my entire trip from the con exclusives. Friends bought tons of stuff at the con and are currently flipping it all for one hell of a profit. Heck a freebie unofficial GI Joe I picked up I tossed on the bay and got $120 for it?! WTF. No wonder people were waking out of the con with cases of exclusives.
The GI Joe stuff was just getting better and better, sadly the sales just went the opposite direction. The quality kept going up while the sales just kept declining. The Retaliation stuff was not so hot though, lot of collectors were not fan of the line with its awful packaging and some really odd decisions. Also making packed in vehicle driver figures to be shitty and have almost no articulation was stupid.
Really not a bad time to get in, most of the modern stuff is available out there for not that high of a price. Some more popular characters will be a bit more pricey but nothing really outrageous except some rare variant figs or limited exclusives.

Is that another Masterpiece Soundwave? Or is it just the cassettes? I'm not up on my Transformers.

Its just cassettes although they are repainted and retooled new characters. The lion cassette suggests that Blaster will be coming as well.

Best TMNT figures? Necca or Figuarts? Looking for the 90s toon look

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
I got all of mine on Amazon. Sorry.
Every model will inevitably show up there and be overpriced. Then in a few months it will be well below MSRP and mostly stay there.
Figuarts have a lot more going for them with different heads which brings a little more variety I think. The Neca toon ones for SDCC all have the same expression and headsculpt which I think is kind of boring. The NECA ones are a better deal because you get the whole set at a good price, though, but they're not out so I can't really say about personal experience. If they're like their videogame versions, and they might be using the same bodies and just repainting them, then they don't have a ton of articulation going for them, but some people prefer that.

The Figuarts ones look cheap except, oddly, their belt buckles. But the NECA ones are impossible to buy for a reasonable price (first batch sold out in 5 minutes) so you really can't win.

Yes. They should be identical to the 3.75-inch Marvel Legends line.
Well... Figuarts... but even though I own the four Figuarts Turtles and am definitely getting Shredder... i still picked up those new NECA ones. Scored that SDCC set!
A lot of people will prefer the NECA though. I think I'll be happy to have both.
Come to me, my babies...
Figuarts BETTER make a Splinter...
Paging Messi.
I'm not the biggest Harley fan but I think that looks pretty cool. I'd rather have a TAS art style statue than a figure.
