Picked up my yummy PC parts for my new gaming rig! Can't wait to start the build! 

[kajnrig]

Nice haul! Was this something you needed right away? Intel's launching their new generation in October, so you might have been able to get something a bit more powerful (though from what I hear the prices have been marked up, too).

Nice parts you have there, Spanner.

Which of the box that has this?

LOL! That's nuts! Sadly they were out of stock.. so it's just a regular desktop setup for me this time.

Here's another pic with the cat taking a keen interest in the parts boxes!

Are you going to power that computer by having the kitty run on a wheel inside the case?

Hahaha!   I'm sure Spanner will add another wheel in front of that to put the mouse in.

LOL!!! That's a great idea especially when there's a power outage!

It's certainly big enough to allow one to stand in Battroid mode!

Nice cars mate! What are the Maisto models like regarding quality? How come you got two of them? Are you going to customise one of them perhaps?

I got an extra Lamborghini for somebody.  The quality is decent for 1/18 cars just to display, especially for the price.  The Ferraris and Lamborghinis seem to be better quality.

Managed to get a Hascon Exclusive Marvel Legends X-Force Deadpool.

Thanks buddy!! I've been looking for a super treasure hunt nsx and the FD rx-7's!! Those pics are from a guy I bought them from on IG. I also collect Auto Art cars as well. But here's my real life hot wheel. She's a '11 Subaru Wrx.

Awesome pick up! I was trying to get a Deadpool, but never saw it go up on the Hasbro website!! Do you happen to have an extra for sale?!

Pics once you finished building it. Let me know if there's some signs in the manual or sprues that they're going to make the Advanced Hazel.

Bought it used from Jungle, came with non-working LEDs and sunburn on one side. So it's getting some replacement wiring (Multimeter says the LEDs still work) and a coat of paint.

Also debating casting replacements of the clear parts, as they're a bit browned.

Hey, a fellow Subie fan! I drive a '11 WRX STI myself! Too bad Autoart hasn't released the rest of the Subaru WRX STI line. I'm still looking for a good scale model of the '11 series.

My FlightPose stands are from an (old 2013 or so) previous batch and their rubber bits have dissolved the red and black paint on my Arcadia 19, so be meticoulous to avoid any contact with something else than raw plastic.

But if they don't "eat" painting, let me know

My fairly new Flightpose also eats paint. I put some plastic wrap between the nubs and my toy to prevent it. Now, I just use the stand for unpainted toys.

Good to know, I'll fix that this evening.

3 of my 4 had the plastic in threads issue they warned about on their website, going to take an M4 tap and try and clear them out.

About the FlightPose stands:

Would covering the rubber tips in a coat of Future prevent paint damage while maintaining grip?

[Mommar]

I'm still waiting on my X-Force deadpool to arrive, it's been bumping around Comerce City, Co for the last three days (idiot pot heads.). In the meantime my Dad just found Human torch for me at Walgreens yesterday.

That stinks I was about to order some. I guess you get what you pay for 

[ZorClone]

Got some Tony Stark Figuarts and my first Hall of Armor set, as well as a new Ikea cabinet to load up.  I haven't figured out what the lighting will be yet but I'm thinking LED tape on the back boards and then putting a diffusion layer of vinyl or acrylic or something in front of them.  But, as you can see it's HMR Monster Approved.
