2015 Collecting

[Bravo]

garage sale haul this weekend


I need wings for that Slave 1.
I paid $5 for all this, at 3 different places. Star Wars stuff was one place, if I'd been there yesterday, probably would've been more stuff. Oh, well.

You should do something crazy, like give the Slave One Tie-Fighter wings. You can never have enough droids. I think the clone wars Y-wing would be perfect for Bossk, but he doesn't fit in it unless he's in the gunner seat.
I pretty much have my Bounty Hunters flying starships, here's the current roster:

Dengar: TIE-Bomber, this works surprisingly well.

Bossk: B-wing, but one of the traditional Y-wings with gold markings is also a good fit.

Zuckuss and 4-Lom have TIE-Fighters.

IG-88, is deserving of a TIE-Advanced or Interceptor.

Greedo, for some reason, I don't have him and it pisses me off, but I would like to give him a Millenium Falcon...or Dash Rendars Outrider...it's the vest.

Not sure what HK-47 should have.

That's a fast food Wolfman from some years ago, they show at garage sales now and then unlike the Remco ones. I already have him, but he was cheap enough to buy again. I know they make Funko 3 3/4" monsters, but $10 each is too much for them. The two human guys are Nylint figures, like Tonka...but not. They were a competitor, but totally bootlegged Tonka's figures. They have hats or pieces of hats stuck on them. Weird.
I saw that GI JOE weapons transport trailer in a tray of die cast cars and thought "what good is that by itself?" but then remembered "if I'm not out here to buy what old toys I find, why am I out here?" It was like a quarter anyway.

The classic Kenner CAP-2 minirig was a Bossk ride or any of the other ESB hunters, really. Not big, but it was fun.

Here's some stuff I recently got:







So, a Shadowcat bust, I messed up the unique numbering plate and smeared it, ah well, the actual bust is cool. I have always been a fan of her's.

I'm not collecting amiibos, but I did get Samus Aran because I've always respected her and her games. They were ahead of there time.

[Bravo]

I remember the miniseries that figure is based on. Kitty Pryde and Wolverine.


This week's yard sale finds include Jedi Mickey Mouse, some star wars accessories (guns, saber, 2 cloaks), a Robotech motorcycle missing the gun pieces and two stripped out 1:18 scale 21st Century toys WW2 half-tracks (1 US, 1 German)

WWII tanks in any condition are an awesome find. Just watched the WWII movie with Brad Pitt called FURY, which was really good. All about the tanks too. Robotech motorcycle is a really hard find period, just ask Zarana-X.

I love female comic characters, it doesn't matter who. They look sexy as hell. Storm was my favorite...but She-Hulk was pretty amazing too.

[Bravo]

the 3 3/4" RObotech cyclone? I figured it was one of the more common pieces. *looks on Ebay* Wow. They do fetch some decent money. Mine is kid-worn, even part of the kickstand is broken off.

I debated on seeing FURY last year, saw Interstellar instead. Never been a Brad Pitt fan, but I also am not a Matthew McConaughey fan, either.

[Felix]

Fury was decent, had Shane from the Walking Dead, lol. It was a good WWII flick, nothing more, nothing less. Had a John Wayne vibe to it for me.

[Bravo]

I don't really collect Justice League animated but there were 25 cents each and in good shape. I actually found Darksied at a different sale miles away. It was destiny that I acquire a villain after the heroes? Found a catwoman, too, but she was from The Batman and is a different scale.

Couple of days ago I got these Halo minifigs, to resale. They were all of 10 cents each. Neat, but building blocks aren't my thing.

[Felix]

I love toys that actually look like how they appear in cartoons.

[Swindle]

Here's Scarlet Witch movie fig and a mini-Vision fig. Thought Vision would be the same scale. Oops. Scar Witch isn't get, not many joints. Still, decent enough.

[Bravo]

Those 2 inchers are trash. Really. Last week I was leaving Target and noticed a Avengers toy package in the trash bin outside the store...someone had bought Hulk, removed him from the package and tossed the Ultron accessory. I saved it.

Found some cheap yard sale figures last saturday. Thor Ice Giant, a Spider-Man 3 Venom (5 inch), JLU Catwoman and Wolverine origins movie Deadpool. I think I paid less than 50 cents for all of them. Also, Spider-man 3 3/4" scale race car for a quarter. It's kinda dumb...but whatever.

Well, I'm still getting used to the new house, so far I've got some Star Wars and Transformers moved in, even got my He-Man figures!
Joe's will be another trip...actually I'm probably just going to keep a select few figures. My interest in Joe just isn't what it used to be....although I will say it again, Gentles Giants Jumbo Joe's might pull me back.

I can't help it, I'm hooked on Masterpiece Transformers. There's a video from one of the cons showing Ironhide, looks great. There's a Third Party site, from the guys that made Quakewave (AKA Shockwave), they're doing ALL the Dinobots *cough* I mean IRONBOTS! They only have Grimlock left to do. There's another Third Party Cyclonus and Scourge, they look incredible, from the guys that made Apollyyon AKA Megatron. This stuffs expensive, but these look like the best toys IMHO.


He-Man: I wish I could collect more. The figures are amazing. Heck, She-Ra even kind of looks like Danny from Game of Thrones ;-)
This line is expensive too, but much more affordable than Transformers. The thing I like is I don't feel the need to complete it whatsoever, there's just a select few figures I still REALLY want to pick up...Webstor, Kobra Kahn, Huntara, Hordak fimation version... Maddam Raaz, Broom, Loo-Kee are on that want list too.... but that's it!
For some insane reason Shadow Weaver goes for hundreds of dollars, so that will be a pass. Cool figure and character, but that's just silly.

[Felix]

Got my Apollyon (MEGATRON) today from X-Transbots :-)
The figure is incredible! One of the best toys I've ever seen. It's missing one thing, an official Decepticon emblem since it's not an officially liscensed product... I will fix that.
Just amazing they were able to make this and pull it off. He's in perfect scale with MP-10 Optimus Prime, Masterpiece Soundwave, and X-Transbots Quakewave (Shockwave). Damn, now I need Starscream too. I might sell the rest of my toys to get these Transformers. The Dinobots are kind of too hard not to pass up. I was never a big fan of too many autobots, but the Dinobots were always fun to me. Never got into Beast Wars for some reason...it just wasn't the same.
