For those that have watched John Wick 3:

2 Dogs = 1 Wolf ;)

Or would you prefer:

Duke:  " You ain't got no problem, soldier.  I'm on the mutha-effa'.  Go back in there, chill them Cobras out, and wait for the Wolf who should be coming directly."

I haven't bought any Transformers in a while and wasn't planning on getting this one but with Grimlock coming soon, I was itching and couldn't resist.

Loving it! 

The seller was nice enough to throw in an ugly little buddy to go with it as a free surprise in the shipping box:

Let my daughter play with and take a few pics of the AOE Grimlock

Yup, I've had them doing that for YEARS;  figure M&M are the only two who could pull something like that off.

I think we need to censor this. Her cone is touching his leg. Her wings are wide open at the back, and there is clear gun contact.

Oh come on, you could never lead a Gancho without a little cone contact.

It was a good weekend. On Friday I got a 1/55 Super Ostrich after hunting on and off for 25 years or so. (And then on Sunday I finally got to see Guitar Wolf after trying unsuccessfully for nearly 20 years)

Amazing score there Bad Larry! That VT-1 looks like it's in immaculate condition, the VE-1 looks amazing as well! B))

Thanks folks. It is in great shape. (knock on wood) I was burned by one years ago that was supposed to be "complete" but arrived with armor broken in 4 places. I was so nervous about this one I filmed myself receiving the package from the mail carrier, then opening it and inspecting the toy - just in case something was amiss.

 

Thank you

Stranger Things Lego set is in! Pretty damn clever on Lego's part, the trees act as the base and both houses "float" in the middle. Very sturdy build, zero worries about things falling apart or tipping over.

Highly recommended if you're a fan of the show, or just want a neat build with good detail.

That's a good looking lego set. I still haven't seen this show yet but I hear it's old school fun.

Congrats! I take it you found it for a good deal? How much?

Thanks @Slave IV! It was a decent deal ($170 shipped) far better than what some sites are pricing it at.  Bought it off another collector, its in great shape and was just displayed.

Definitely not bad at all considering how much I've seen it go for. Very nice!

Yen? The most I saw it for was $300-$400. But I mostly stopped looking once it reached over $200.

Dollars. IIRC it was mind boggling expensive to get one in such good shape back then. There was no Yamato, or anything else. Maybe if i looked hard enough I would have been able to find better prices, but i recall the hobby being way too expensive for me, back then.

I just realized you must be talking about the Chunky VT-1. I was talking about the Mechagodzilla. :lol:

I had a brief moment where I almost did not pull the trigger, but thought about and went for it.  Lol

Just like HMR for me it’s quite addicting.

Badass! I love to see groups of elements in relatively the same scale. 

A few years ago i got me a metal 1/48 F-14, to go with the 1/48 birds.

Impressive, most impressive. 

Sadly, I got a few 1/144 aircraft shortly before HMR made its comeback. Then I got the 1/72 Calibre Wings F-14 because of the hype. None of them scale with anything and I’m not buying that Kitzconcept Valk anytime soon, lol!

I do have a bunch of models I built when I was a kid but scales were all over the place. I might have some 1/60 and 1/48 stuff but have to dig them out to check.

Thanks!  The F-16 should be coming in soon with a F-117 to add to the list.  Wow I bet that 1/48 F-14 is huge.

Thanks.  Maybe just get one in 1/100 scale and go from there.

Go down that rabbit hole? After seeing where it got you?:D

Just got this, I already have a Hasbro MP 10, but this transform Element optimus is so much better. I guess it's based of the MP 44 soon to be released but the price of that is ridiculous.

Aside from some "soft" looking molding in the details on the legs it looks like a fantastic replica of the Cartoon.

TE-01 is a brilliant figure, MP of the year so far for me. Agreed, MP-44 pricing is absurd, even at the Amazon Japan price of roughly $300+, that's too much. TE-01 isn't really based on MP-44, it's just based on toon/movie Optimus, which MP-44 is as well, so they both look incredibly similar. If you're interested, check out TFW2005 for member Jream, he makes a cheap, but very nice little vinyl add-on set, covers for the exposed silver bits on the sides of the legs, and vinyl covers for the chest, two shades of blue and a toon centric cartoon window version as well, in one bundle, for like $10 shipped.
