Other Toy Lines / Big Amazon sale.
« on: April 21, 2006, 09:29 PM »
Linky.

Dropped about $80 after shipping myself, with a bunch of Buffy/Angel figures I didn't have yet and a Thomas Riker from DST's Trek line (which isn't on sale.)

Not much for Star Wars, but the GI Joe HISS Tank is available for $10, best price I've seen. It's mostly McFarlane and other more 'kiddie' stuff, but there's gold in them thar hills.

Other Toy Lines / Big Lebowski toys!
« on: March 10, 2006, 12:52 AM »
There's no official website for the company making them, but there is this blog with the press release.

Linkage.

They're only making the Dude and Walter, which is enough. It's not like I need or want a figure of every character in the film, though having some nihilists for Walter to beat on would be pretty cool.  :)

And these are only going to be sold at EE, if I read that correctly.

Other Toy Lines / Awesome Tower.com sale!! Hurry!!
« on: January 14, 2006, 12:25 AM »
60% off!

Linky.

Be wary. It may say "Free shipping" but it really isn't. The fine print states orders that include toys aren't eligible for free shipping.

I picked up 7 Buffy figures for $45 shipped, which is about the cost of three at regular retail.

Other Toy Lines / Latest vintage acqusition
« on: January 13, 2006, 10:47 PM »
There's a thread like this in the Vintage section, but I'm going to make one for other older toys here.

I bought this one on ebay, and it finally arrived today...



Authentic G1 Soundwave

I almost swear it's fresh out of the box, since the joints are really, really tight. Alas, it didn't include any Cassetticons, but there's some reasonably-priced bootlegs of Ravage and Rumble/Frenzy making the rounds on ebay that I might pick up.

Jocasta's Reading Room / Kid's books
« on: November 13, 2005, 07:04 PM »
I usually get my younger cousins a little something for Christmas every year, and I wanted to get them something besides action figures this year.

I thought about the children's books, and have no idea where to start. Are there some decent currently-available books that have the story of ROTS? I know there are some for the OT, and I'm going to get those for them.

Watto's Junk Yard / The Scam of Quixtar
« on: September 27, 2005, 11:45 PM »
Just a little heads-up to my buds here at JD. I'd hate to see anyone here get hosed by this scam.

Link to a really long post from my blog.

I'm sure more than one of you has been contacted by one of these people and hopefully, you've turned them down.
This thing simply doesn't work, except for a certain few.

Don't believe the hype.

Star Wars Action Figures / Ben's custom figures
« on: August 9, 2005, 07:40 PM »
I came across a grab bag of vintage capes and weapons a my local comic shop for $7. I mainly bought it for a Jabba pipe and bowl, and some Ewok stuff, but then I was left with these extra capes. So I stuck them on my Clones.

And yes, this is pretty much the extent of my customizing skills.

That jerk Bacara really doesn't like new Joes.

Too funny. :) I can never get enough engrish.

Watto's Junk Yard / Explosions rock London.
« on: July 7, 2005, 06:25 AM »
Oh ****.

I'm thinking the worst, myself. A day after the announcement of the Olympics in London? In protest of the G8 summit? Hopefully, I'm just being paranoid.

Vintage Kenner / Storing vintage figures
« on: June 5, 2005, 04:24 PM »
I bought those C-3PO and Vader carrying cases that were exclusive to Wal-Mart recently and have decided to store my vintage figures in them.

My question is, is that good for the vintage figures long-term? I just don't want to end up with discolored figures later on since I have put a lot of cash into updating my vintage collection.

Thanks and other love.

Watto's Junk Yard / The Minibosses
« on: May 24, 2005, 06:03 PM »
No, it's not a Springsteen cover band composed of midgets, but rather a rock band playing covers of music from old NES games.

Download Mega Man 2. It's awesome.

There's some video here of them playing music from Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!! and Rygar.
