Hmm, yikes, ok. Have so far dodged zinc rot on my diecast aircraft collection, but this sounds kinda similar to other people’s descriptions of that phenomenon, where impurities in the metal/plastic react slowly against each other and the material degrades.
Sorry it happened to you : ( |

I, too, did not realize that the General was that large. Seeing it next to the rolling thunder really puts it into perspective. Thanks.

Picked up a couple Black Major custom Python Patrol Night Vipers. I painted the visors black (they were red). One has a yellow head, and the other is black. They aren't as bright/neon in person as they appear in the picture (it's the camera flash). These are really nice. The back packs and the guns all fit the peg holes correctly, and there are no balancing/hip issues that some of the other Black Major figures have. Highly recommend these.

Cool! I have some Cobra troopers from the same source that I’ve been meaning to post too. This gives me motivation!
Do you think the more neon (but less than the flash makes it seem) Night Vipers would be like squad leaders for the regular, darker ones? Or do you imagine the color difference as tech related, like designed to defeat a different kind of imaging system? Either way, congrats, these are cool figures! |

Hey all. Went to a local toy show and picked up a complete vintage stinger with driver, straight arm stalker, and 25th hawk, all for $55.

Love the Stinger, it was the first GI Joe vehicle I bought. I clearly remember picking it up at Zayre's. Paid $9.99 plus tax. It was always featured in all my play battles. Great buy! Enjoy.

Nice haul! I'm jealous of the Stalker and Stinger Driver myself, am eying both of those figures in the next year.
Glad to see someone else having fun here : ) |
