He was actually a former art student of Tim Finn, guy who owns the comic shot in Somerville that had Hama signing.

Nice. I had something similar happen. The lead guy who installed my furnance was a huge Star Wars fan so it wasn't completely embarassing having 4 shelves of figures and vehicles in the same area these guys were working.

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.




Got a link to a pic, never heard of this I think.

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..

My wife is always trying to humiliate me...brining her family members and college friends/drinking buddies up to my Joe room. I'm cool with it and usually am buzzing from drinking when they are here so I feel empowered. But man, the hot 20 somethings, THAT is humiliating. They don't even know who Gi Joe is. Or my son telling my wife we bought a new jeep or got some new "Inja's in the mail today".

Each month the Lego magazine has a custom build that the Lego engineers put together. You can download the Stark Lab at LEGO.com LEGO Club: Home keyword stark. I didn't realize it'd be so pricey. I had to grab the parts from 3 different sellers on bricklink.

Anyone looking for:

-DCU Flash, Hawkman, or metallic new52 Supes
-man of steel movie masters (all 3)
-star wars episode 1 figures like jar jar, padme, Anakin w/jet pack

Yeah, he has pretty decent stuff. I just bid on that lot but the previous bidder's price is too high for me. If I could have gotten them for a decent price I'd replace the TVC RFT helmet with those. I have a couple of early releases of TVC whose helmet has turned green thanks to bad plastic.

If you check his other Star Wars auctions he sometimes has multiples at weird prices. Some anti venom figures cost 41$, but one is listed at $14.

For the vintage black carded line, didn't they eventually fix the bad plastic green headed clone guys? I specifically passed on Utapau and Commander Cody because I kept finding nasty green ones.
