[QUOTE=BEAM;4354505]I'm honored to be elevated to such a prestegious position. It's probably due to the lack of interested candiates. It's a thankless job to decide who's excluded based on collecting tastes (Air-tight was almost expelled thanks to the great Micro Force scandal of 2012), signature size, resemblance to a convention circuit bound TV / movie personality, and the number of Prof X wheelchairs you have in your fodder bin.

If you do pass, it's a solid Stamosing from all active members. Only then can you get to the pink belly initiation.

Sounds like the frat my undergrad dorm roommate pledged.

Those seat belts seem tough to find.

Looks like $25-$30 would be a decent price.

My original one had a front wheel snap off.
$35-40 seem like the ballpark price?

That seems like it on ebay, but you might want to call the toy vault. They might be able to beat that price.

I need a day off to visit there again. Does the RI one have a larger selection then the Emerald Square?

I feel your pain Mainframe. July is a rough month. The wife won't be too pleased. I have the 6" Star Wars Black Series, GI Joe Ultimate Wave, and Doctor Who 3.75" case, all expected to hit in July.

To add insult to injury, we hired ING as our financial consultant and my wife out'ed my toy collecting to our twenty something attractive female consultant last week. When going over our expendatures, I was forced to admit I collect action figures. She seemed unphased but the wife threw me right under the bus. So July's budgeted expenses are already blown.

So my advice is either don't get your finances in order or bribe the wife to keep the toy collecting on the downlow.

Mmmmm, no. Alex has a shit ton of figures I still haven't given him. Plus I dropped $70 on the custom Lego Iron Man Laboratory featured in the latest Lego Magazine.

I can't believe Kokomo has the Ultimate wave that much cheaper than BBTS. I don't like their scalping practices so I'd rather pay the extra $10 and add it to my Pile O' Loot. BBTS has always done right by me so I'll stay loyal to them. And I ordered extras of some army builders through Dorkside. I've heard good things about them (or him, being Eddie).

Ouch, thats cold. My wife tried to do that with the window salesman, it backfired. He was a complete toy video game fan. He took pics of my collection and spent a chunk of time talking Skyrim tips.
He was actually a former art student of Tim Finn, guy who owns the comic shot in Somerville that had Hama signing.
