NONE of that stuff is worth anything now. I can't give the stuff away for $5 at a flea market. Same with Hess Trucks. Outside of the OG 5 and some others, they basically go for nothing. And of course my dad bought CASES of those things, too!

I'm stuck with so much useless crap from my dad and his collecting ways...and then I did the same LOL. Imagine having an off site ex-autobody shop garage JUST filled with "collectables" that nobody wants. That's me.

Did sell my ultra mint metal lunchbox collection for about $10K and my massive Bachmann Collection took about 30 years but I sold it all off finally a few months ago.

I've got Hess and Texaco vehicles that were given to me as Christmas gifts when I was a kid or belonged to my grandfather. Yeah, their time is pretty much over. I think they had some value at one point.

I've been debating on selling off my remaining ARAH figures and vehicles for a while and think they're on the downward slope of their plateau. Still going for a lot but it seems slightly less than a couple years ago.

Man, this OAMCC roller coaster is crazy. Woke up at 5:30AM EST and he was open for pre-order again, I saw where it looked like it started about 3:30AM This has to be one of the craziest pre-orders so far. I am glad I got my order in yesterday, and fingers crossed I am one of the lucky ones to get it shipped early, but I can be patient either way, it is fun to watch though. And the Youtube outrage is hilarious too.

EDIT - Just checked my statement and pending charge for OAMCC - hot damn!

They were making Joes in 2007?


That is a pretty good match for the leaked backpack.


Maybe it is another mixed lot parts including Frag Viper, heavy Duty bandolier, Blowtorch legs, and an Airtight backpack?

Don't think I haven't been working hard to control my over-reaction to those leaked images and that looking like an exact match for that Airtight.. lol

A lot of times preorders show as pending charges then disappear until they're shipped. Walmart's good for that.

Oh man, I would love an Airtight figure. Let's do this.

I have seen it with Walmart and Target, but never with PULSE before, but we will see.

[Trigger2K]

Target's pending preorder charges never go away. I hate preordering anything from them and sometimes cancel if it's far out just to get rid of the charge.

Not the first time figures have come back up at weird times. Back when it was still HTS and there was no warning as to when figures would be going up, I missed the only two figures I wanted from the Marvel Legends Spider-verse wave, Venom and Spider-Gwen (naturally the most popular). I get up around 5:30 AM for work, and I decided to just check out the site for laughs one morning, and sure enough, both figures were suddenly back in stock for pre-order.

I think since we're so used to getting time warnings since the site changed to Pulse that we're not as prepared for random, early morning/late night re-stocks like what happened today. Walmart is like that as well - it's how I was able to nab the constantly sold-out retro 3.75" Scarlett a while back.
