Social Toy Collectors Thread

I watched a couple of youtube vids on the Marvel Legends Kenner 3.75" and saw what I think were the ones from Hasbropulse and the Capt Americas the two diff vids had were a nicer darker blue closer to royal blue. The one I got from store is a lighter blue closer to the FOX Spider-Man animated series final episodes where Capt appears in. The head sculpt also looks different from mine.
 
I went on a Lego Technic binge when quarantine first started. My mistake was getting the Ducati first. It is so much cooler than the rest of the models. The rest were kind of a let down after that.

I have the Ducati
GTR
PORSCHE 911
JEEP WRANGLER
ZR1 CORVETTE
CATAMARAN
SAILBOAT

Edit: The sailboat is pretty cool and the Catamaran is too.

first time i’ve ever seen a Walgreens exclusive out in the wild.
 
I usually only see Walgreen's exclusives very rarely and even then it's something I'm not interested in buying.

I don't know that dark Silver Surfer, so would pass. Would be nice to have an extra Mjolnir.

If found sold at other outlets, call 1-800...? Does Walgreens care about stopping scalpers or Hasbro sneakily distributing to other retailers?
 
Seems like a lot of MCU character costume designs have that similar Asgard style design with Wanda and Eternals.

I just need a Marvel Legends original red, yellow, green Vision.

Amazing Yamaguchi Series No.023 Iron Spider by Kaiyodo (hlj.com)

$79.68.

This is the Iron Spider that I would've loved to have seen in the films, but THIS is THE Iron Spider for me. I have the endgame one but this one is just so simple, sleek, and just bad@$$!

Well, looks like I'm going to be out 80+ bucks (shipping and handling) :(
 
Oh snap. I think Mattel is catching on the popularity of diecast racing mainly due to 3DBotmaker. Wish it was a lot longer though. Short race tracks like this is not as suspenseful. The 5 lane turns look partially banked enough to handle decent speeds and it looks like you could connect it to use less than 5 lanes if you chose to. I can't tell from the photo, but it may not have the typical orange track connectors so may need to modify or 3D print custom connectors to orange track or AF Crash Racers fat track. If I never end up building my track and this is easy to modify I may pick one up if it isn't too expensive. My wife would kill me, but it's for the kids right?

Question for those that collect Pokemon Cards. Is it difficult to find packs to buy for retail? My cousin who lives in Hawaii collects with his son, but said it's always sold out unless you camp out. I told him I'll be on the lookout (Cali), but have yet to see any in a few stores I've been to. Seems like the sell out fast.

When I was babysitting it was a slam dunk if the kids were getting tired or cranky. Toy stores in general, comic shops, all a quick maps in your area and the occasional phone call if unsure

A recent youtube vid by a hardcore Pokemon guy said he bought a tray of the tin Pokeballs with 3 packs inside at a Costco. Unknown when but sounded like recently.

I also saw reports/pic of some stores keeping them in some locked electronics display case without any sign in the usual trading cards area indicating where they are.

I think you underestimate demand. These buyers/scalpers are like Gollum in Lord of the Rings lusting for the precious.

I listened to a Pokemon podcast yesterday in the car and they suggested after COVID is over, the masses will go back to spending their money on non-Pokemon and supply/demand will ease back to normal. They suggested the Happy Meal cards will be barely worth anything after the initial crazy prices.

Sounds like they sometimes reprint the cards, so that can't be good for value of rarer ones.
 
I saw a Transformers Earthrise F-15 Starscream clearance for $16. Don't recall seeing it on the pegs earlier.

looking awesome. big nostalgia energy. i wish i got doubles of all the Spider-Man retros i’ve bought because i’d love to have some in the box still. i carefully removed the plastic w/ an x-acto knife & kept all the cardback packaging at least.

i got some stands in the mail today. been reorganizing the sunroom to make more room for the gf’s damn plants & ordered a new bookshelf for my new personal piece of the room, so i’m going to display these things + some others on the top shelf. i’m feeling like i’m on the toy threshold of no return now.
