The truck lacks a steering wheel. Not missing, just simply made in that regard. I can kinda forgive the doors not opening given, but come on, even a 2 year old knows trucks have steering wheels.
The book was from a resale shop, which sometimes has good stuff. I got a 1980 Cloud Car there once missing a canopy for under $4.

I think Bossk and Zuckess would make good Cloud Car Pilots. Canopies are for wimps.

My foolish MAY THE FOURTH (be with you) purchases. Walmart.com has a few recent 5 Points of Articulation figures reduced to $2.49
Rebels Kanan
Rebels Kanan in stormtrooper disguise
Rebels Sabine Wren
Rebels Ezra
Unkar Plutt
Hassk Thug
First Order Stormtrooper
Imperial Ground Grew Rogue One
Sgt. Jyn Erso (poncho)
Atsy, Resistance pilot
Anyway, I ordered the imp ground crew, Unkar (Never seen one in person), Sabine and stormtrooper Kanan, with store pick-up...so no shipping. It was kinda dumb to order the ground crew, it's a major pegwarmer. But if they get marked down everywhere, I'll know if I care enough to get another. I should get another Sabine because Mandalorians always go up on the aftermarker. Damn, I paid %5 for that Hassk thug in march...and he wasn't worth it.
Anyway, under $11 for 4 new figures isn't too bad.

I haven't bought anything, but I decided to display some of my Sideshow G.I. JOE's :-)
Got the ninjas out, I do enjoy playing with these toys...pandoras box is opened.

I need to fix em up a little bit, but they've been in storage for awhile, still looks neat :-)  Cobra Commander I bashed together at the last second, gave him Cobra Trooper pants and boots from???? ...Maybe Terminator boots.  The ninjas :-)  |

I still have a lot to do for my Destro...he needs silver hands and red holster straps, and I still have to put some filling in his collar. Ultimately I'd like a longer collar that goes as far down as his belt. However, the Baroness approves so far :-)  |

  I need to make some gauntlets for the gloves on the Crimson Guards like Cobra Commander has. |

I'm stoked, I got some red straps for Destros holster yesterday, it's amazing how much that detail helps out the figure. I still need to dig out my glue gun, and I ordered some silver Iron Man hands that I think will work well. He's pretty much done. My bright pics don't do Destro justice, but I'm surprised how good he looks now.
I also ordered the Worldbox version of Mortal Kombat Scorpion. I always preferred the klassics style, but I like this too. It will be fun to display Scorpion and Sub-Zero on the ninja base.

June 1 garage sale finds. Darth Maul for a quarter and the rolling thunder scout car (minus gun) for $1 at Goodwill.  I haven't even finished taking photos of my May stuff. Here's an incomplete mole pod I found. Or MAULPOD?  |

That is neat, must cost a fortune! Some friday findz. I'll probably resale the Jedi Force/Galactic Heroes whatever stuff. It's funny the kiddie snowspeeders are better quality than the current 4" vehicles...but then again this snowspeeder dates back to 2009, when 4" vehicles were still good. Okay, Tinypic doesn't work at all anymore. Their whole reason for existence...random pic uploading.   Saturday junk:   |

Rampart is an incredible find, seriously. Look how well he fits in with Hoth :-)
Update:
I got the glue gun, probably won't get to Destro till tomorrow though. Hope the hands get here soon.

He's pretty trashed, broken crotch, both elbows cracked and loose joints, but somehow his thumbs are intact. Worth the quarter. Oh, I found a seat from the Tomahawk at a different sale. Just one seat. One of those times when I wonder how it got to where it was. I doubt the copter was at the sale, it was more likely a random part in a box of loose hand-me-down toys...I guess. Silly moment, where I got the tank and grub, there was a kiddie galactic heroes AT-AT, discolored and missing its roof hatch, but marked $5. I passed it up. But I remembered later that I had the snowspeeders already! I could've had a kiddie Hoth thing going. But $5 is five bucks. They had that big soft plastic x-wing from a couple of years ago for $7.50. Meh. Some of May's finds:  |
