At this point that's the best I can hope for, Gamestop single releases. I'd take Shredder and Splinter, and four Foot Clan soldiers. Gamestop is the only reason I got the 7" turtles, I missed the SDCC set for those too.

Unless you really wanted an oversized VHS box you didn't miss anything.  This box set is weird too, the foot soldiers share their hands so you can only have a weapon holding hand on the right hand of one or the left on the other, or one gets a two handed weapon and the other can't hold anything.  Pretty stupid decision really.

RG Zeta?

I hope you have some glue handy, that thing is the grenade to end all grenades.

It’s not that bad, just need to be careful and follow the directions. It isn’t one of those kits where you can just build whatever body part and just put everything together at the end.

Another delivery from Manda.

Falcon's Hanger Store exclusive Reformatted Stealth Azalea (Didn't have to pay Evilbay's prices on it).

* I think that there is still one available for grabs. *

I have about half of those Star Trek Micromachines - they work great as stand ins for the Fleet Captains board game.

My Dad used to have a collectibles shop and we had so many of these ( and Star Wars) leftover we took some small screw-in hooks and made Christmas ornaments from them.  My Dad still uses that mini-Star Trek/Wars tree.

Micro Machines Star Trek.

I still have these too. I remember buying the box set and thinking it was the coolest thing ever!

They’re pretty mangled from being stored in a plastic bag at the bottom of my closet though lol 

Cool set :)

ohh man! I totally forgot I have about 5 or 6 of those somewhere in a box! Need to find them to go along with my Eaglemoss ships!

They’re cool for their size and detail.  I like the Enterprise-D with saucer separation.  I wish I got the set that came with the Enterprise-E.  Some of these like the Defiant will probably go well with the Eaglemoss ships.

Hot Wheels 1/50 Batman vehicles.

Battastic! I only have a 1:18 1989 batman movie Batmobile. I wish i had the batwing from that movie too. I love the animated series batmobile and batwing too, but i don't think they were ever released in 1:18 scale. I was thinking maybe an ecto-1 and Delorean in 1:18 could "finish" my movie car collection. Great collection you got there! I think thats basically every batmobile ever, and at 1:50 scale they could easily be posed along 1:48 Yammies.

Looks pretty good @Mommar, I don’t get it, but can imagine it’s a good figure. Haha. 

I own the thing and I don't really get it either.  I bought it based on the strength of the review D Amazing gave it.  If it weren't for the Sketchers shoes it would make a Decent Black Skull Batman villain though.

But I sure can't wait for my next two Nightcrawler figures to show up tomorrow.

@Lolicon I hear the Exia is a great kit. Been thinking about doing a Strike myself, heard it's a good choice to get into PGs since it's got an "easy" build.

I'm really tempted by the trans-am mode PG Raiser kit, love the colors on it, love the idea of a 1/60 trans-am Raiser next to a 1/60 VF-31C, but all the reviews I read said the Raiser is a pain to assemble and pose, it doesn't have the same 'play with me' factor that the Exia and Strike have.

Go for it anyway, I say! ;)

I got the Exia because the LED kit really looked great to me. Otherwise I'd have been content with my MB Exia. 

It'll be awhile before I build it, but if I like it enough, I may pick up the Unicorn with LEDs.

@Sanity is Optional are the joint locks as much of a pain as some reviewers made them out to be?

@Lolicon I just might. It's a really dynamic design and I think it would look great alongside the 31C. I'm considering multiple PG kits (and other sizes) to do same-scale Valk/Gundam pairings on my shelves. Normally I'd just buy when I'm ready to build, but since this was a limited one, it might be worth it to buy now and set it aside for later when I actually have time.

 

Here's two other fairly recent acquisitions. I'm sort of split on how I feel about the actual figure, but I decided if I liked it enough to keep it, one of these two versions would be the one I wanted. So I bought both. Managed to get them new from Mandarake for close to MSRP. The YF-25's joints were a little looser out of the box than the 25A, but not so much that it really affects anything.

These also had a tricky transformation for me. With both the 25 and 31 I found myself having trouble with the shoulder/collar area folding for battroid mode. Once I got it all sorted out it was much more solid than I'd expected, given how it all folds up and is only held in place by a few clips (or pressure, in the case of the 25).

I think you and I define "finish" very differently...  :p

I'm assuming these are all 1:18? You know what, you might have this incredible collection, but i see no 1989 Keaton's Batmobile here. I win.

 

With that said, Bond's Lotus next to Ecto-1 and the Dleorean is mouth watering. Do all doors open on the ecto-1? You've got the Duke's GeneralLee, the Ateam's van, what i think is Bluesbrother's copcar, and Kitt. Very cool collection! Bladerunner's policecar thing is super nice, i had no idea it existed in this scale. I am begining to think these are 1:24, hmm maybe not. MadMAx's interceptor too, wow. Hilariously looking Velociraptor riding the Jussaric park jeep, lol. Is that a Fezza 306 gtb? 308 gtb? I love the 306 GTb if thats what it is. oh wow, i just noticed the Fezza GTO there too. One of the most expensive classic cars today. Let me guess, is this 30 plus years in the making?

I still maintain my perfect car movie collection would include THe ecto-1 and the Delorean next to my Batmobile, but oh man oh man that Lotus Espirit in submarine mode is epic! Ha bond's Aston DB5 would be cool too!

LOL, I just noticed the Dalek, ha ha, great!

You know your Ferraris, I see!  :good:

Note also the Lykan HyperSport from Furious 7, the Shelby Cobra 427 from Bad Boys, the '32 Ford Deuce Coupe from American Graffiti, the Chevrolet Camaro SS and Mercedes Benz SLS AMG from Transformers: Dark of the Moon, and "Herbie," the '63 Volkswagen Beetle from The Love Bug.

Driver's side door, passenger side door, and rear door open for interior access... oh, and the hood opens to reveal the engine.

Due to licensing issues, the 1:18 Police Spinner was only available bundled with pre-orders for The Final Cut on Blu-ray.

Oh, I'm sorry.  Did you want to see the Batmobiles?  ^_^

@tekering You are Bat-Sick crazy!

That 1989 batmobile looks almost identical to the one i own. Not sure if the wheels on mine are more like a gunmetal rather than bronze/goldish in your picture. I Imagine these are all 1:18? Hotwheels Elite? Is Jada any good?. Sunstar? Welly? I've always trouble identifying scale, when there is not a typically scaled object next to it. You got figures in scale too, wow!

Thanks!

The 1/18 1989 Batman Batmobile is still one of my favorites.  It displays ok with the DC Multiverse 4” Keaton Batman.  The figure also goes well with the Kenner Batwing and that toy is still fun to swoosh around.

My favorite 1/18 vehicles are my KITT with 1/18 Michael Knight and KARR.

I love 1/18 vehicles and the 1/18 figures you can put with them.

Got this iconic cars shirt recently.  There were only a few that I couldn’t identify off the top of my head.
