I’ve been trying to pick up the figures from this line that I remember from when I was watching wrestling, which for me runs roughly mid 80s to early 90s, when I was ALL IN with wrestling. I didn’t get the first ring but ended up getting the Snake Mountain one to get Hulk Hogan. I’ve also picked up Macho Man, Warrior, and Jake the Snake. The figure I want the most, Mr T, is nowhere to be found locally or online. Looking forward to Roddy Piper and Ricky Steamboat later in 2021 as well.

I have to credit our very own Scott (OCB), who posted in a thread years ago that the vintage Hoth Han Solo and Bespin Luke Skywalker (if I an remembering correctly) were his own “Buzz and Woody”, meaning the toys that he took with him everywhere. That always stuck with me as an excellent example of what many of us feel about certain toys growing up. Were there any specific go-to figures for you growing up?

For me, it was probably a few examples. In Star Wars it was definitely my Chewbacca, Endor Han Solo, and Jedi Luke Skywalker. Any combination of 2-3 of these were always in an adventure, and were most definitely my most played with SW figures.

Other examples: MEGO Spider-Man. My only MEGO figure (their heyday was slightly before my time), but the first action figure I remember, and was with me constantly. I remember being so bummed when one of his legs broke at the knee, and we super glued it, but with the cloth costume covered it so you really couldn’t tell. Sadly, it is one of the few childhood toys that I just can’t find now. Bums me out.

I also had many an adventure with 1985 Snake Eyes and 1983 Duke from GI Joe. Duke was my very first Joe, and that Snake Eyes is the figure I remember searching for the most in my childhood. Loved that figure so much.

Outside of action figures I’d have to mention a small plush Snoopy that I drug around a lot as a kiddo, always had a spot of Snoopy and the Peanuts world.

Anyone here collecting this line? I am, but things have been so slow/hard to find it hardly feels like it. I’ve been fortunate to stay current with everything through online orders and a little bit of luck with exclusives, but honestly I don’t think our Targets or Wal-Marts currently have any of the figures in stock at all.

That being said, Flint and Lady Jaye announced Friday, and I think they both look pretty great. They are very similar to their “classic” looks, which I think is what everyone wants pretty much, just updated a bit here and there. Last I saw they weren’t expected until closer to summer 2021, so it looks like a continued slower pace for the line. I believe the Zartan/Cobra Trooper are due in spring. I’m sure the movie postponement changed things up as well.

I received Man E Faces, Trap Jaw, and Orko today from an online order, looking forward to digging into those. My order for Scareglow unfortunately was cancelled (from both WalMart and Amazon), so that is kind of a bummer. Excited for the other three though!

All of my stuff is packed away, save the BMF. I also collect GI Joe and MOTU, so I have a ton of vehicles. Since space is kind of a problem, something like the Barge or Razor Crest are out of the question. I’ll say that, then buy the new Castle Grayskull next year...

Same problem here, again I need to be better about limiting things or just choosing favorites to have out. Like with LEGO type stuff, I have most of the OT vehicles, not to mention things from Marvel, LOTR, etc. so, I have three LEGOs on display: the Falcon, Bag End from LOTR, and the Mega Constructs Castle Grayskull.

I had an....interesting shipping experience this week. Not Star Wars related, but still relevant I think. Months ago I had preordered the Transformers G1 Blaster figure. I had always wanted one as a kid, and thought this was a good chance to grab one. I had since found it at retail (and thought I had cancelled the preordered one, but with all the WM delays/cancellations it is hard to keep it all straight). Anyways, on Tuesday night I go to let our dogs out and there is a Wal-Mart bag hanging on our doorknob. I thought it was strange, but I took a look and low and behold it is Blaster. Beat up box, just tossed in a Wal-Mart bag. They slapped the shipping sticker on the side of the bag and that was that, certainly never had a delivery like that. Now I have a Blaster I don’t necessarily need, and I’ll have to see if I can return it. Aside from that sticker, there was no shipping insert or anything typically used for returns. Strange stuff.

This could really cover any of the 3 3/4” lines, but most currently with TVC. Also timely with the Razor Crest campaign. Anyways, do you collect vehicles? From the beginning I have pretty much collected the majority of vehicles, and over the years it scaled back to OT era stuff only (recently adding in the Mandalorian stuff). Now I focus only on TVC releases (although at this point that is all there is anyways), and just became a Crest backer last week as well. I do love them, but they sure do take up a lot of space too. I know I’ve seen a number of people who just stuck to the figures over the years due to that reason. I was just wondering how many of you here collect and/or display the Star Wars vehicles?
