I'm happy to own again a brand new one. Transformers Generations Collaborative Top Gun Maverick. Cool. Some recent acquisitions of mine. Obviously not remakes, originals but getting very pricey these days. I found these at reasonable prices, at least relative to the crazy auction house prices. Don't often see Joes on here, but they're getting hot. Makes me regret not getting them earlier, but you can't have everything.

Those and EELs are my favorite special environment troops from Cobra.

You and me both. Definitely need to get that other one, and passed up plenty of chances to do it. Prices have me regretting that decision, but I feel like that's the same old song from every collector out there. But here's something you might appreciate. Don't know if it's worth much, but satisfies my immediate urges "toy crack" style.

sh9000 Posted December 31, 2022 Posted December 31, 2022 Someday I might get my unopened toys AFA graded. That Hot Wheels Batmobile is cool. The Premium version has rubber tires. Marvel Legends Retro Animated Spider-Man x2.

Spark-O-Matic Posted January 5, 2023 Posted January 5, 2023 (edited) I just got two jetfires last week & two came in today late due to holiday grind. two I got a great deal under 250, while other two I paid a little under double that. (one has a good box with no flap crease) (I had to send a couple back after buying them in the last few months, resellers were bleaching/scotch brite them because they were yellow then claiming they were like brand new, ruining the finish of the plastic & the whole toy. they were not toy collectors, but greedy people who wanted to make a quick buck. Unfortunately I did not think to keep the pictures) Condition scale of 1 to 10 one is a 9.6 Mint, one is 9.0 NM+, one is 8.7 NM, one is 8.5 Excellent+/NM All have unused Armor, two had all paperwork, two had destroyed paperwork & ruined sticker sheets . I will over time three will get completed with the correct paperwork then put in repo boxes in acrylic cases. while the 4th will be sent in to be graded loose for display. All are in Rudolph Reindeer Condition with big solid color red noses. Will buy an unboxed abused jetfire soon to use to build an Evil Jetfire Complete with box & paperwork. After that it's all back to Macross & VF-1 Edited January 5, 2023 by Spark-O-Matic Added Info

I would have given my right arm in school to had that. it was a status symbol in my school to have had a cool lunchbox in the cafeteria. now kids get pizza hut for lunch . KR was one of my favorite shows right behind the A-Team, Punky Brewster & The Fallguy.

They're all close to 1/72 scale and to one another.

Thanks for the info. So the line really is like Action Fleet 2.0 then. At least some of the larger ships are close to scale with one another. I'll be selective with future releases.
sh9000 Posted January 12, 2023 Posted January 12, 2023 Another Playmobil A-Team van. Unopened but it had a beat up box so it was on discount.

Mommar Posted January 19, 2023 Posted January 19, 2023 And my very first overpriced dissappointment of 2023 and it's only been half a month in... It appears okay but notice the crooked skirts. All FOUR (teo on the back) are jsmmed under the belt because they glued them to a strip of fake leather. Two fell off in under ten minutes of opening. It's their own design and they coudln't get the ankle rockers correct. And to top it off there are replacement gauntlets with ball pegs to hold the shield. The plastic is so soft attempting to put the shield on causes the plastic to teist and warp. It WILL break. You can feel the plastic peg rotating. Only $169...
