Also, I believe they'll open up alot of race track building opinions in the game (I've only played a bit of the Incredibles so far). |

SO much junk this weekend.
$20 for big box of 1995-early 2000's loose Star Wars figures, with speeder bike and spec ed Jabba. Haven't even counted them yet, but it's a lot. Some late 80's/early 90's Joes, too. There was some MacFarlane samurai guy in there, not spawn himself, something else. He had more of them, I didn't want them.
A Star Com enemy bomber with two mini fighters, plus at least 7 figures.
The 25th Cobra 5 pack the first one for $5.
Guy selling them was into martial arts, and had an Arashikage tatoo on his lower right arm.
5 star wars guys (4 cartoon clones and an old kenner Hoth Luke) and a big army semi (the one sold at Toys R Us, but missing parts) all for $3.
2000 Awe-Striker, with pathfinder, some GvsC era guys (Dart, mindbender, CLAWS), some knock-off stuff for $2 along with some non-toy related books. I had to reassemble the AWE partially. Some kid got Sgt Savage Grizzley, Valor vs Venom Zartan and incomplete Desert Scorpion jeep while I was there. Good for him, really. He'll have more fun with the stuff than I probably will.

I've seen quite a few Arashikage tattoos on people. Some have the tattoo upside down, that's just sad.
I love tattoo's, but I would never get that one. Maybe if I was a super badass martial artist, could do flips and shit easily, maybe. I know some basic stuff, but I wouldn't want one unless I had some extraordinary skill at it. You know, so I could basically say it was a major inspiration for my achievements or something. From what I've heard, people always ask them why they got bricks. That would suck. Then you get to explain how it somehow means you think you're a G.I. JOE ninja. Or you could play it cool and just say it's a Chinese hexagram. But then some nerd at the party is going to ask while your talking to a hot girl, "Hey is that a G.I. JOE tattoo?" And no matter how hard you try to play it off, he'll keep bringing up Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow, meanwhile the hot chick has moved on.

I actually totally missed one Infinity fig from wave 1.   Francesco. Yeah, so now I got all of wave1. I did play complete the Incredibles playset. I like the hoverboard in it. |

I bought Snaggletooth 2013 off Ebay for a fairly decent price. That's the most recent interesting purchase.
Got Hoth Luke at Five Below for $5. He'd make a decent army builder his neck ball is small and fits modern Joe head. But I doubt I will see more of him.

That Snaggletooth is a cool figure.

Zelda was always fun. Good way to spend time at the airport. Beats reading  I ordered one of those Cobra De Aco "Black Major Customs" off ebay. looked decent in the pics, hope it's pretty cool. I've been wanting to pick up some of the original 13 figures, but they have not aged very well. I really wish the collectors club or Hasbro would redo this set accurately with the original molds or just make new ones. If some guy in a garage can make De Aco customs, a major corporation or the collectors club really has no excuse. It would just be nice to see these figures factory fresh with new paint, stiff joints, tight fitting helmets and clean clear visors. |

I bought a bag of Black Major gas mask trooper heads only to learn they don't work with 99% of swivel head bodies. This is because of the Hasbro mold it's based on, not really Black Major's doing. The neck is too short. So, almost a waste. And while comparing the major's heads and the original comic pack head, I discovered some of my comic pack gasmask troopers have cracked backs.  Did I mention that already? Any time I try to get back interested in GI JOE, I either get a let down or cannot even find anything at retail that's worth a shit. |

My De Aco just got here. Looks factory fresh and mint, no complaints. The cobra emblem is slightly bigger than the original. I'm cool with such a small detail being able to more easily distinguish between a knock off and an original. There's no way in hell I would ever shell out a lot of cash for an original, so I'm pretty happy all around with this purchase. It seems like its been a long time since I've bought anything new in the 3 3/4 world.
He had a big lot of these for sale, I was going to try and win it, but I missed the end. Thought an army of these guys would be a riot.

 So, Woody and the Frozen princesses for Disney Infinity... don't know anything about the girls... they don't seem like the best character designs from disney, though I have seen that the movie is getting good reviews |

Some cheap crap via Amazon.
Biggs Darklighter, Clone Sergeant, Clone Pilot and Biker Scout for $3.49 each.
Also, Padme for $5 (she's since been cheaper)
Nien Nunb for $10+...not cheap, but I forgot to get him this time last year when he was and loose ebay samples aren't cheap, either.
Two Droid Factory sets for $15 each, 6 figure plus a build a droid in each set.
There's other cheap stuff, current Black Series 3 3/4" Anakin is under $3 currently. Some Legends series Barely poseable two packs are under $3. TIE interceptor is $30.
Some the 6" SW figures are nearly half-off.
Some of it's "add on items" that ship with orders over $25, though.

That interceptor went up in price quick. I almost bit @ the $30 mark, but I don't feel like getting back into Star Wars. At least not yet. Probably after I sell off my collection and the new movie comes out, I'll have a renewed interest Not too much exciting going on in my toy world lately. At the moment, I'm just wanting to set up a nice 1/6 display of Skorpion vs. Sub Zero on my Arashikage Environment. "Get over here!" Not thrilled with Sideshows Destro. He's not my favorite character, but the figure should look just like the 80's card art for what they charge for figures. I got some custom made parts to start a 1/6 Road Pig custom. I'm a long way from getting that done though. |

The Amazon prices fluctuate a lot this time of year. If I waited to get Nein Nunb I'd have save $2, but then I'd have missed out on the droid factory sets. I can't get the vehicles, because most of the time I never open them. No display space for them. |
