That Lego Ideas Godzilla looks good and even has the posture likeness.

On Reddit, I saw someone make a Cobra Commander minifigure out of official parts and now I have the fever and must try to make one, but the torso for hovercraft pilot seems to have only been issued once a long time ago and other parts seem to be from CMF's like King Tut staff, dual molded blue and black legs, belt.

Might try to make a Baroness too.

And just seen the Gamerverse Captain America and Venom figures for £39.99 and they're not released until October/ November...$54 or so.

There's something going on....I wonder if they aren't selling well ...

Pre-tariff ML singles were like $25 USD, so that's not especially cheap for two pack. Here at Walmart, they're like $29 for single figure.

Yea, over here though the Venom two pack is listed on Hasbro as £61 or $82 and a little less on a couple of other sites .

Bit different to the Amazon prices of £40 or $54...

And the Psylocke pack was even cheaper...

I sprung for both of those packs and Gargantos...

Currently here Amazon has the pre-order ML fluctuating from normal price to crazy price and back like the Maximum Hulk, Maximum Spidey. ML and GIJ CS pre-orders and new releases seem to be normal $24.99 USD.

Heard on podcast someone ordered from Amazon the HW Premium GIJ F-14 Skystriker and I did see the listing before significantly cheaper than the $9+ it is now. I didn't order from Amazon because the listing said something like I forget the wording but gave me the impression they'd just ship out any random item from the case and not necessarily the F-14.

Over here Amazon have a pre order guarantee on ML , so if you order Gargantos at £61 and the price drops before release you should get the lower price.

I'm locked in at low prices for the Psylocke, not much knowledge of the character but the Thanos is ok and although not entirely comic accurate ( obviously, being Gamerverse) I am happy enough with him .

The Captain America is a nice figure and although he isn't in chain mail looks close enough to comics ....the Secret Wars one is decent but broken shield ,as is the 20th Anniversary both with chain mail but I would want to open them up and I hate seeing Strychnine crying...

Amazon finally has maybe the first wave of Gundam Universe Renewal pre-orders including the new articulation RX-78-2 which looks a bit weird because so much of the area behind the knees are exposed probably to not hinder the inner frame from bending. $35. Seems to come with the Hyper Hammer mace ball on chain.

Not interested in the Gundam Wing MS's.

More Salamanders. While I'm not excited about the results, I'm not disappointed either; I learned my lesson on what to expect with the terminators. They're respectable tabletop quality.

Spoiler

I'm sick of infantry. I've got another ~40 to do plus another ~90 in need of assembly (...and more on top of that when the next starter drops). So I'm going to switch over to the two dreadnaughts and three tanks in the queue.

Dude!!!

If that's your "Meh." then I'd hate to see you make an actual effort! Those are AMAZING!!!

I'm no "Blokhead/Brickhead" but I do love me some Halo and this is pretty freaking cool.

There was supposed to be some GI Joe official Megabloks minifigures maybe like two characters + vehicle like Skystriker. Never heard anything after the pics leaked. Maybe it was Pulse exclusive.

Recent rumor is Super7 ReAction+ Falcon, Jinx, Cobra La Guard, Once A Man Cobra Commander. Would probably skip all or buy just Falcon since I had the V1.

They have GI Joe building sets, but they aren't Lego. You can find them on Ebay. I want to say the brand is straight from Hasbro.

Found some goodies at the thrift today.

These fun lil fellas are from 1985.



This wee Batman is from 1990. I’ve had the gals for awhile now but wanted to take a group photo lmao.

@Kardashians If you're at Comic-Con this year, this is an exclusive.

Man I seen that and I’m gonna dieeeee. I’d love her but my god I’ll never be able to bring myself to drop the cash on this doll that will be asked of people. Especially after scalpers.

I'm not talking about Forever Clever from discount stores, but Megabloks, same maker that has the HALO license.

Just seen 2 pre-re-orders come up on Hasbro official site for Marvel Legends retro for

The Rhino
Cyborg Spider-Man.

Had seen the Rhino figure advertised on another site but thought it was a glitch but now seems it's popping up on other sites too so seems there's a re-release of these two ...may bite and open one ...or just pray for Kingpin...


Edit - Ghost rider too.

Edit - @Strychnine Also the Doctor Doom on retro FF4 packaging that is nice with fabric cape and accessories.

I managed to get a MacFarlane "Hellspartan" (Think Master Chief from Halo crossed with the Spawn character) and a "cloaked/invisible" Spartan. The ONLY reason I have them is that my USAF buddy who got out and worked in San Diego was at that particular Comic-Con and snagged them for me.


But yeah, that Elvira is CHOICE!

Good friend. We have a group of around 4 or 5 of us and it's not uncommon to find a magazine being left by one of them for you or a phone call and a photo asking " Oi, twat, you want this figure?"

And I actually picked up a Monster High doll a couple of days ago and found myself contemplating buying it after my car passed it's yearly exam with no work required this saving me some cash....I did put it back though and put £100 into the next comic con fund in October, another £100 into my comic/ toy fund and £100 was used on holiday clothes for the wife for next week...

The top photo Masters of the Universe?

The style looks right although I don't recognise any of the figures?
