If you can get $5 you're doing pretty good. I've been trying to get rid of my unneeded 25th figures since the first batch of comic packs. I still have that damned Destro, and I'm only asking $2.

hahaha. Yea, that's the problem. 60% of what I want to unload are destros, dukes, CC's, SE and SS. I'm wondering if it is even worth the trouble.

Probably not. You could throw them in a big lot on eBay and see if anyone buys them for fodder, but even then I don't think you'd get much.

Nah, I don't do real life violence. I mean, I love watching someone get punched in the face... but I don't wanna be the one swinging.
Anyway, life moves on. I don't "need" a Swerve box so much as I need one that isn't torn at the Alternators logo or faded by the awesome power of the sun from where I used my alt boxes to background my figures on my display back at my old college aptartment. I knew those cheap ass blinds weren't enough. And yet... A year of morning sun later, everything directly in front of the window were several shades lighter. And wouldn't you know which "extremely hard to find" box got center stage: And look, there were two of them. They were in perfect condition before that photo. I should've known better than that. And didn't. Thank God the Smokescreen and Sideswipe boxes remained damaged... I point out sarcasm for Irid who likely doesn't know that they shelfwarmed to the point where TRU wound of wrapping them up in a clear plastic two pack and selling them for... what, fifteen bucks before they were all gone? And if Hellion gets on Hoarders, I suspect that they'll just throw me in the crazy house along with my KayBee bag full of old box packaging paper that I have yet to check for loose items.

... But I totally would've kept that Autotrooper box where Kremzeek is coming out from under the inappropriately drawn "We swear she's an adult" EDC "woman's" little sailor moon skirt.
That thing's gonna win a creepy hall of fame award someday. |

It crossed my mind (for much the same reason), but the only box I kept was clear Rijie. He'll never make it to display unless I have a closed-off room with zero sunlight or fluorescent lights. Yellowed white plastic looks bad enough, yellowed clear looks like ass.
I used to display the boxes too, but it got to be quite a lot of space... then came those damned bubble boxes. So into storage they went. For a bit. >_> I swore that Smokescreen and Sideswipe were the only ones they were gonna make for a while. And I was irritated at myself for jumping on them at K-mart prices ($25) instead of being patient. |

I fucking hate the bubbles. See my BT-17 with the Mucked up bumper.
I really don't want to like the Retaliation Guardsman and Alley Viper. But I do... The "character figures" of actors look horrible but the faceless drones [that are not ninjas anyway] do have some appeal. I'm going to do my best to avoid finding them and breaking and buying buying them. It was so much easier wit hthe crap articulation. Thank God Hasbro went five point with the IM3 figures I've seen. |

Double post... weird man.
I hated the bubbles for multiple reasons. For one, they were a PITA to open without destroying. With Rollbar, I tried cutting him out from below so I didn't have to tear the bubble from the minibox. It worked, eventually. Took like an hour. For two, they couldn't stack OR store worth a crap. I'd struggle to get 5 in an 18-gallon bin. Ya know, the good thing about toy collecting it that it's exactly what you want it to be. A while back you decided you weren't going to collect Joes any more. So you didn't. And now there's stuff coming out that you like. Nobody is going to call you out if you decide to buy them. Also, are there any plans for Hasbro to release the deluxe Scourge-repaint Ratbat? Because I'd buy one. |
