Classic Ian

Hell Yes.

“Then I’ll stop doing art and nearly bang the camera man. K bye”

I’ve said this for years. How on earth do you pick Pam over Karen?

I bet Karen wouldn’t tell you not to chase your dreams because she would prefer to stay in a rut in Scranton.

Just wanted to share a shelf photo before some of this stuff goes into storage to make room for Mondo’s amazing Real Ghostbusters figures.

Was having a very crummy streak of not finding anything even remotely interesting thrifting, thankfully this Vintage Fisher Price Rowlf Puppet came along at the Goodwill! Finds like this motivate meet to keep at it! He was tempting to keep my for my PC, but he’s already found a new home!

Props to one of my local Toy/Hobby shops that have had these Phantom Menace figures on the pegs for almost 27 years since 1999, and have decided to mark Ric Ollie down by 50% but not Chancellor Valorum.

I’m assuming this is obviously some deep cut reference for

- Big Jim being a Mattel toy line
- Big Jim toys being re-used for He-Man toys.

But yes - I’ve been to a litany of vintage toy stores over the years and have never really seen any Big Jim toys, let alone a dedicated display of them.

THC “Baja Blast”

What a time to be alive!

What a downgrade.

👎🏻

Please.

Someone needs to come and take my credit card away.

I’m completing *very* questionable toy lines now.

I finished up another collection that’s both stupid and ugly.

I seriously consider what I’m doing with my life some days….

It’s still insane to me the amount of times I get asked

“Do you have the box? Do you have the other pieces? Does it come with instructions”

After I’ve posted like 10 very clear pictures of the toy/collectible I’m selling

Yes, I left out elements that would make the item more valuable on purpose

I had look back to get some context for this.

So sorry for your loss Ian.

While many would consider this to be foolish to purchase an empty box - but for $14 I’m more then happy to have a representation of my favorite short lived cereal!

Make that 28 - I dig ALIEN 3

Amazing! Congrats!

I’m fully aware that it’s certainly the weakest of the OT, but it’s the one I’d pick over almost every other Star Wars to watch.

I mean it sure helps that Jabba’s Palace and the Ewoks are my favorite Star Wars things.

RETURN OF THE JEDI

Is my favorite Star Wars movie.

Fite me.

Don’t care.

Omg that’s awful - I’m assuming they weren’t able to re-book you for a couple of days.

Same thing happened to us in Chicago years ago, ended up renting a car and driving through the night to get home to Canada.

None of us were thinking clearly, and thought to just stay an extra night.

Another vintage line I recently completed.

There’s not a ton of love out there for these vintage 8 inch Power Rangers, but I’ve always had a soft spot for them since they were the first “real” Rangers toys I was able to get my hands on during the initial Power Rangers frenzy of 1993.

Today I learned that Dustin Diamond aka Screech was supposed to have a small role in THE MONSTER SQUAD but was ultimately cut.

Just amazing that things like this keep popping up all these years later.

Isn’t that what the Cuomos want?

The Kid has good taste.

I’m convinced it’s a cursed line at this point.

I doubt we ever see Wave 2 of the Premium DNA figures and Mondo just noped out after 3 releases.

I humbly present my STONE PROTECTORS collection for you all to enjoy

Funnily enough I had a wacky action Raph in my “cheap figure” bin! Hopefully that will entire someone to grab the lot of bits and pieces a little bit more!
