CCL Messageboard

So, I got this today:

Over 2' tall!

That's freakin' SWEET! I thought about picking up Acid Storm, but decided to pass - too pricey for such a minor character.
Plus the TRU near me is moving and in clearance mode, they haven't gotten any new stock for a month now and won't be moved until late September so it's gonna be slim pickin's in this area.

I stopped by TRU again yesterday and they had 3 SW's and 4 AS's. I was surprised to see them so well stocked.

As I have said in the past, my buddy runs a very small town country auction, he had some tubs of junk up there today, and I noticed that one had a couple action figures that were visible in the bottom, I asked him what he wanted for it, and he gave it to me free of charge. After throwing away the junk , this is what I came away with...



And some (have to be hard to find) tmnt accessories

I think the large blue battle-axe in the second picture is Big Bird's accessory...

That is one dis-colored Skeletor!
As for the battle-axe... I'm pretty sure most of those larger scale weapons are actually original pack-ins for Big Bird.

HAHA, funny guys...He has become highly collectible since Romney threatened to take away his funding...

So far this week I've picked up:

Transformers Generations - Fall of Cybertron
Impactor (part 1 of 5 to form Ruination)
Roadbuster (part 4 of 5 to form Ruination)
Twintwist (part 5 of 5 to form Ruination)

I picked up another M.A.S.K. toy for my son last week:

Thunderhawk w/ Matt Trakker - 99% complete; only missing one bomb. It's not in that great of condition (the sidepipes/laser guns are a little loose and don't always stay in place) but it did come with the un-applied sticker sheet. I'm decideing whether or not to apply the decals.

If you can, scan the sticker sheet first. That way, you can always re-print them on a label sheet and cut them out if needed. OR do that and save the original.

Hmmm...that's a good idea.

Been kinda slow on the toy collecting front what with the holidays coming and I'm pretty well caught up on the newer stuff, but I did manage to get a couple additions in today:

Transformers Universe Autobot Hound w/ Ravage (MOSC)
http://www.transformerland.com/universe-classics-2.0.php?FigureName=Hound%20with%20Ravage&genreid=37

and

Transformers Universe Ironhide (MOSC)

I managed to get a couple new figs to add to my collection amidst all the holiday shopping. Picked up from my LCS:

Marvel Universe Archangel
and
Marvel Universe Archangel (2010 NYCC X-Force variant)

More Transformers? Don't mind if I do! Newest additions:
