One day sale over at Big Bad.

$69.99 down from $153.99

DC Comics Dynamic 8ction Heroes DAH-062 Darkseid (bigbadtoystore.com)

I'm going to have to pop on this one as I bought this one back in 2013.

 

[Batjester]

Just saw Lego is making their biggest set yet, the Stark Tower. Thing looks awesome.

BigBad sale item for the day.

DC Comics DC Multiverse Wonder Woman (Todd McFarlane) Figure (bigbadtoystore.com)

 

[GSP_37]

Could have bought GIJ CS Stalker, Tomax or Xamot, Python Patrol BAT, retrocardback comic Loki, Havok for $5.99 each and GIJ CS Tiger Force Duke w/RAM cycle for $9.99.

Also, was shocked to see retro cardback Moon Knight at Target, but $24.99 a bit too expensive. Skipped the Walgreens version years ago and kinda regretted it. The Target one didn't look super appealing.

EDIT: Most of these were wiped out the very next day.

I breezed through my local Target today and they had the brown boxes in the aisles like mad. They're gearing up for the Christmas crush already. I'm going to head back this weekend in the hopes the shelves are stocked.

Amazing Yamaguchi Winter Soldier is up for preorder.

Amazing Yamaguchi Winter Soldier | HLJ.com

$60.19 can probably be found at a lower price if you look around.

Ok, FULL DISCLAIMER

I found out that the son of a friend of mine has an online toy store. I'm going to post the link here if ya'll don't mind. He has some great stuff and I thought that you all might be interested in taking a look.

I GET NOTHING FROM THIS. I get no points, no cash, no discounts, no nothing. What you pay, I pay. He has some great pieces and I think it wouldn't hurt to get another source for some great collectables.

MacFarlane chase "Abyss" action figure.

They do indeed ship worldwide.

I'm seeing tons of the Tiger Force Flint, Vypra Cobra woman ninja, Tiger Force Dusty. Also saw the retro cardback redo of Amazing Fantasy Spider-Man, just one left.

Also saw the Masterverse Battle Cat for $9.99.

Used to be hard to find any Boba Fett, but the retro cardback Black Series one is easy to find with high price tag.

Yeah at my local, they had Flint, Vypra, and Dusty out. I'm going to try to head back tomorrow to see what's what.

Got this a while ago and since I just got a BUNCH more free time on my hands I decided to put him together.

Didn't struggle nearly as much as I did with Rocket.

Think I'll do Fett next.

 

[Batjester]

Went quick (that's what she said). The gun actually shoots Lego disks, and even says not to aim at your eye.


Think I like the Marvel one's just a bit better.

I bought the granddaddy of those long ago: Nexo Knights Mech suit. The cockpit pieces had me thinking Gundam. Never did come close to making a minifigure scale Gundam.

 

[Strychnine]

I hit up my local Target and they did unpack a lot of those stock boxes. I saw that they had the Marvel Legends Magneto helmet for $99.99. I have the Punisher War Machine one and the Iron Man. I'm gonna pass on Mags. I'm going to save up some scratch and see what Black Friday deals that Sideshow and Amazon have coming up.

The deals were so good on Sideshow last year, it was like I was robbing them!

Napkin math puts that at about 15.5" for an RX-78-2. Certainly bigger than I'd ever want to try designing.

For me, there's something appealing about putting a minifigure or other figure inside something. Aren't a lot of the Lego City buildings that tall? Several years ago, what got me back into Lego was seeing pics of people's custom Gundam RX-78's.

No clue. I haven't paid much attention to LEGO releases in ~20 years. I know sets at the top end are bigger than they ever were when I was a kid so it wouldn't surprise me if the City stuff had sets that big. Tallest set I had as a kid was either 6949 Robo-Guardian, 6195 Neptune Discovery Lab, or 6076 Dark Dragon's Den, none of which were taller than ~8".

Whole bunch of ML on sale at Amazon like X-Men 275 3 pack, Hawkeye & Skycycle $35, seems like the best bet for female characters is to wait for clearance because no one wants them like Rescue & Capt Marvel and Ironheart MCU.

Also, the other day, I picked up a Lego Technic piece and it literally crumbled into three pieces. I previously had a bunch of Lego Mixel balljoint pieces become way too loose. The quality is very bad. I don't have confidence these Lego parts will last more than a few years before they crumble.
