iguanaman8989 Posted May 31, 2019 Posted May 31, 2019 May’s haul. The Echoblaster was an impulse buy, saw an ad on Facebook for the preorder and thought he looked really nifty.
borgified Posted May 31, 2019 Posted May 31, 2019 @iguanaman8989 - Wait till the Barroon Booster, chair and the Bloody Rose for SS Kiva gets listed, then its another issue. The 52Toys qube stuff is very good, I have the penguin set already and waiting for the Queen Alien when it gets done. 52Toys has teased other stuff and the IM 50 as well.

I've been thinking about backgrounds for some of my displays too. Are those flightpose stands painted black? I love your 1/60 collection. I wish mine was as complete. On the other hand... this happened! [VF-4] (i am so glad it came in fighter mode) and then Milia happened... I got the 1D with the monster, so this group is now together... awaiting for... a brownie... I hate you SH9000... No, seriously, special thanks to @sh9000 and @kkx None of this would have been possible without you. Specially you SH9000, for linking killer store prices. I think nearly half of my collection was linked or helped by you. Thanks! I am like a child right now, I can't stop starring at them

Rogueload Posted May 31, 2019 Posted May 31, 2019 Thanks everyone! @vlenhoff Yep made the background myself and I painted the flightposes with black plastic dip spray paint so I could peel it off if I wanted to go back to clear. @Podtastic yep I definitely need to get more bad guys!
vlenhoff Posted May 31, 2019 Posted May 31, 2019 (edited) Good job on that background @Rogueload My collection before: The glaug, and missile pods, plus v v v these two. Edited May 31, 2019 by vlenhoff

Hey @vlenhoff Thanks for messaging me, inquiring why I have not been around MWF much recently. Last week was Spring semester final exams week at MIT, so I have been hosed with paper-writing and studying for the past month. Now, I am doing some vacation traveling. Currently visiting the Tampa area for a few days, then off to Fort Lauderdale, then back home before visiting relatives in Japan and Korea. Wait... is there an upcoming pre-order madness coming up soon that I am forgetting?

I hope you enjoy your vacation! Yes, we are close to pre-order madness , and i know you helped a lot of people back then. I think it was only fair to give you the heads up, just in case you wanted to order one yourself. You helped others, so i am trying to pay it forward. I was one of the unlucky ones who had to pay inflated prices for the TV Max, but hey, I want to have that 1/48 vermilion dream. The new pre-order is for the 1/48 DX Hikaru 1S, an it is on Sunday at 2am? (central time), I think...

First time I’ve seen one at Target. Ha, I've done the same with my Black series collection. I found a few Han Solo figures on sale, and bought them, a few years ago. Same with Stormtroopers, and imperial officers, but you gotta have a few of those. I also got an extra Obi wan, and red arm C-3PO on sale, to be able to modify them to fit the land speeder. Yes, they don't fit in it out of the box... I find Hasbro's lack of planning... disturbing. I had to cut extra material from 3PO on the hips to be able to sit like that, then paint the cut areas and the arm gold. Then i painted his leg silver. I had to give Obiwan cloth robe pants i bought on ebay, so he could actually fit in there. Lukes robe is also from a seller on Ebay. It is a little better than the one he comes with. Not pictured here are all the stormtrooper joint pins. I painted all those white pins flat black, so they look less toy-like, and more natural. Also not pictured here is all the damage i added to the landspeeder. I painted it to look closer to the movie version. I guess i need to update this picture, lol. Edited June 1, 2019 by vlenhoff

How does Hasbro produce a vehicle to carry those essential characters from the movie, and yet they don't make the figures to all properly fit in it? Is there no planning in their design/production department? It is like producing a barbie vette, yet she wont fit in it. Maybe thats a bad example, but I think you see what i mean.

Haha, yeah Hasbro sucks but they have the license to two of my all time favorite brands so they get too much of my money. I have the exclusive version but haven’t opened it yet. I’m trying to get a decent deal on SHF Farmer Luke to use with it but regret missing when I saw it for around $20.

Oh i deeply respect Hasbro/Kenner, I really do. But you know, they did GiJoe, and they fit in every vehicle... So it is not like this is new to them... anyway... I'll stop my first world rant here Thanks @Rogueload!
Slave IV Posted June 1, 2019 Posted June 1, 2019 Yeah, G.I. Joe was great back in the day. That’s all I have good to say about Hasbro. Not a big fan of the company but they got me by the balls, lol.
