A lot of old school toys have been reissued lately and this is one of them.  I'm happy to own again a brand new one.

Transformers Generations Collaborative Top Gun Maverick.

 

Cool.

Some recent acquisitions of mine.  Obviously not remakes, originals but getting very pricey these days.  I found these at reasonable prices, at least relative to the crazy auction house prices.

Don't often see Joes on here, but they're getting hot.  Makes me regret not getting them earlier, but you can't have everything.

Ooo, Snow Serpents are nice. Those and EELs are my favorite special environment troops from Cobra.

You and me both.  Definitely need to get that other one, and passed up plenty of chances to do it.  Prices have me regretting that decision, but I feel like that's the same old song from every collector out there.

But here's something you might appreciate.  Don't know if it's worth much, but satisfies my immediate urges "toy crack" style.

Yeah, I buy pretty much every Batmobile HW I see since decades ago. Just because.

I just got two jetfires last week & two came in today late due to holiday grind. two I got a great deal under 250,  while other two I paid a little under double that. (one has a good box with no flap crease:)) (I had to send a couple back after buying them in the last few months, resellers were bleaching/scotch brite them because they were yellow then claiming they were like brand new, ruining the finish of the plastic & the whole toy. they were not toy collectors, but greedy people who wanted to make a quick buck.  Unfortunately I did not think to keep the pictures)

Condition scale of 1 to 10 

one is a 9.6 Mint, one is 9.0 NM+, one is 8.7 NM, one is 8.5 Excellent+/NM

All have unused Armor, two had all paperwork, two had destroyed paperwork & ruined sticker sheets .

I will over time three will get completed with the correct paperwork then put in repo boxes in acrylic cases. while the 4th will be sent in to be graded loose for display.

All are in Rudolph Reindeer Condition with big solid color red noses.

Will buy an unboxed abused jetfire soon to use to build an Evil Jetfire Complete with box & paperwork.

After that it's all back to Macross & VF-1 :yahoo:

Knight Rider lunchbox/toy carrying case.

I would have given my right arm in school to had that. it was a status symbol in my school to have had a cool lunchbox in the cafeteria. now kids get pizza hut for lunch :o . KR was one of my favorite shows right behind the A-Team, Punky Brewster & The Fallguy.

I wish all of these were actually in scale with each other instead of "box scale."  At least all of the figures are in scale with each other.

From what I've read and seen the Micro Galaxy Squadron line comes in different size classes and toy packaging.  They're all close to 1/72 scale and to one another.

Per:  https://www.rebelscale.com/scale-lists/micro-galaxy-squadron/

The scales vary from 1:42 to 1:196.

Thanks for the info.  So the line really is like Action Fleet 2.0 then.  At least some of the larger ships are close to scale with one another.  I'll be selective with future releases.

And my very first overpriced dissappointment of 2023 and it's only been half a month in...

It appears okay but notice the crooked skirts.  All FOUR (teo on the back) are jsmmed under the belt because they glued them to a strip of fake leather.  Two fell off in under ten minutes of opening.  It's their own design and they coudln't get the ankle rockers correct.  And to top it off there are replacement gauntlets with ball pegs to hold the shield.  The plastic is so soft attempting to put the shield on causes the plastic to teist and warp.  It WILL break.  You can feel the plastic peg rotating.  Only $169...

I could see myself owning this one. It's a good sculpt of Grant.

I plan on getting another one when it goes on sale.  I want to do these poses.  Glorious purpose.
