OMG!!!! its been so dead lately!
Been running around town hoping Biglots would re-stock the World Peacekeeper stuff. Still No SU-27 and no J-10s.

On the plus side I did wonder by a garage sale the other day near Kendall Dr. I was driving to see my mechanic about a bad A/C compresor when I spot a table full of toys in front of this dude's house. He had a Masters of The Universe castle playset that caught me eye, The He-man stuff was in terrible shape but I got a black and gold Cobra Rattler i'd never seen before. Apparently it was a TRU exclusive a while back. It was mint in box and was only 30 bucks. Made my day.

I have been picking up MU in these very dry times...

I still haven't found 30th Wave 2, but I've been cleaning up and feeding my army builder beast as Wave 1 hits heavily. I need to catch up on my Marvel Universe stuff, I still haven't picked up any of the 5 team packs(FF, FF Variant, Avengers, X-Force, GotG) or the Sentinel in either color scheme. Also still hunting for a King Loki and a second Lady Sif. I have one, but I can't bring myself to open her until I find another.

Sweeet find on that Rattler, you can get one of those from $30.00 to $85.00 on Ebay depending on condition.

Here's the link with the info on that Rattler if you haven't read it yet:

Once again the re-packers strike! I was at my local WM which sadly doesn't carry GI Joe anymore so I was shocked to see some carded figures at the end of the aisle. There were six 30th Vipers on the pegs and all six were re-packs. The Vipers and all their weapons/accessories were switched with what looked like a Cobra figure from 90's with two chunky guns rattling around the package. The bubbles were all sealed with super obvious white/magic tape. The figures and weapons definitely didn't fit in the pack but they were priced $6.00 anyhow.

I've never seen so many re-packs as I have in the last few months but I've given up on reporting them since the WM personnel just don't give a shit and they usually just wind up back on the pegs the next day.

Re-packers are nothing but low down dirty shoplifters.

You got it man, I couldn't agree more! They try to reason that what they are doing isn't shoplifting but it is. Honest collectors can't locate the figures they want thanks to people like this. I really like the 30th Viper and I would have bought all six had they not been switched.

Tell me that ugly ass gold Rattler doesn't go for $85 on eBay. I had a loose one I couldn't give away a while ago.

They do. I was hesitant to buy it cause of the whole "weapons make real sounds" thing. The color didnt help but my friend was with me and was like
"wow dude that is one ugly ass plane! the only time you could effiectively fly that thing is at sunset, then maybe the enemy might not see you"

That was funny enough to make me go for it.
