Well now that is some BS. Why are some people getting Fedex now and others are still stuck with crappy DHL?

It's weird that DHL is so slow in the US when their international shipping is sometimes so fast as to seem to defy the laws of physics!

I'm at $3,991 in preorders that haven't been paid for yet, and $3,840 in preorders that have already been paid for. All just Classifieds, Legends, FMF, and 3rd party vehicles (Ramen & Fans Hobby).

Heavy Duty and the Trench Viper pre-orders are both almost as old as the Dial-Tone pre-order is now (10/29/24 or 206 days). Hopefully those ship out soon too!


BTW, I noticed I have been getting a lot more double posts recently due to the site's server taking too long. Used to only happen maybe once a week or so. Seems like it happens to me a few times a day now.

Only $800 lol. We?re all nuts. I don?t even want to look at mine, but I am somewhere in the same ballpark. Hopefully

My 5x Retro Vipers are coming FedEx. Woot...

Thankfully Classifieds and Legends are my only 2 lines (well, now some Fresh Monkey Fiction, but it's still a baby line) and we are a pretty frugal family otherwise (not big foodies, don't do a lot of "events" or travel, etc.)

I used to be into cars in my younger days, and this is a drop in the bucket compared to that hobby...

Don’t ever stop bro.

My biggest preorders are HasLabs. Unless something's an exclusive I see little point in preordering when some of these can be had for under retail almost immediately depending on where you buy.

I'm happily divorced, so it's just my teenage daughter and I. We had a small 10' x 10' home office but it just wasn't being used as an office anymore since we both have laptops and whatnot now. So I decided about a year and a half ago to officially make it my collection room. I emptied it out, got rid of the desk, kept some of the shelving units and bought some new ones.

I have several IKEA Kallax units, as well as one Detolf in my collecton room, plus some other non-IKEA cubby and shelving units. My Classified collection lives in this room (with the Dragonfly suspended from the ceiling), along with tons of random lines like Black Series, Indiana Jones Adventure Series, Mythic Legions and Figura Obscura, Combatants Fight for Glory, Hasbro D&D cartoon kids, Frazetta Norseman, etc. plus other non-action figure collectables like Witcher and Game of Thrones statues. My gaming area is in this room as well and I have a 40" 4KTV mounted on a wall bracket with my PS5 tucked behind it. One shelf holds my games and gaming accessories.

Out in my TV room, I have a sideways IKEA Kallak unit laying on the floor with three Detolf's standing on top. This houses 12 dioramas containing more Mythic Legions, my NECA Nathan Drake and Kratos figures, NECA Universal Monsters and some of the Bandai Tamashii Nations Star Wars Ronin figures.

Then in my master bedroom closet, I have a built-in closet system that I did for my now ex-wife years ago. There are some cubbies that are part of this closet system so I have even more figures on display in there. Mainly my older dioramas that I made when I was just starting out are kept in my closet, along with some figures that I like, but not love enough to make it to the collection room or the living room.

But I'm just about fully tapped out of space, which is why I really cannot keep any dioramas that I make anymore.

And then I have the Rattler showing up later this year... and the Mythic Legions dragon coming in a year or two...

Is she almost 18? Because then you can kick her out and turn her room into another action figure room.

I think things are finally starting to show up.. all be very slowly.. I will have to keep a close watch on the UK dates from now on.

If there is habitually a Pulse sale in June though I don't suppose it will be super useful.. many of the previous ones were a very mixed bag. Also in the UK they can't seem to actually keep any Transformer in stock and 15$ off isn't really worth the bother when Amazon sales will knock 20 or 30$ off or more. & they have plenty off them after all.. Zavvi also can be decent when they actually have something. I expect 2026 will be a much easier time with Zaavi and Amazon UK selling Gi Joe again properly they'd be great for army building something that is a chore to do at the moment with so much of the line hiddern behind Pulse exclusivity or missing entirely from being offered as a mainline item in Australia either and well Hong Kong isn't really often cheap enough to bother with.. though it might be a good source for a cheap Legacy Firefighter perhaps.

I don't have any Joes coming my way, unfortunately, but I am looking forward to getting my hands on these 3rd party World of Warcraft figures, that look pretty damn cool.
