Have people had much luck posting toy sale threads here on Fedi? I've made a lot of semi-impulse purchases over the last few years and I really should do a clean-out, but I really don't want to go the eBay route again. #ToyCollecting#ForSale
Hey toy-collecting Fedi: Anybody interested in the Retro Cobra Commander that came with the HISS for an even $100 shipped in the US? He's very cool, and I thought about opening and keeping him, but I decided to wait to see how much he ended up going for on eBay, and I don't want him more than I want a hundred dollars toward my holiday bills. Also taking offers on the tank drivers since I got the HISS for the Dreadnoks.
Wild to see people on a friend's Facebook post throwing an absolute FIT over Hasbro "reissuing" HasLab stuff today when it's pretty clear from how fast they sold out that they were just clearing out a few spares. Unicron sold out in less than a minute. Victory Saber was gone in two. I'd be surprised if they had more than a dozen of either of them. But no, Hasbro LIED and REISSUED them. 😑
Can't stop thinking about these extremely real and legitimate product photos from an Amazon listing for a 3P (or possibly a knockoff of a 3P) Transmetal 2 Megatron. Just Generic White Family genuinely enjoying these toys that they are definitely really interacting with.
I've been a big fan of TMNT since I was a kid (my first figure was the original Raphael, from 1988, when I was 8, and I've been hooked ever since). I traded my whole collection years ago, no regrets, and have grabbed a newer/different TMNT thing or two here or there when I find it really cheap.
I'm just so happy to see a resurgence of all of it in stores with the new movie. It's like, childhood joy all over again.
I haven't bought any of the new figures, although they look amazing (I've been pretty tempted).
The thing I love most is that they even reproduced all the ORIGINAL 80s/90s figures pretty much EXACTLY as they were (they did this for He-Man too!) which is awesome, because they LOOK the SAME and you don't have to pay stupid prices on eBay if you just want a figure and not a display piece.
If I ran across a repro Raph or another one of the really cool figures from the old lines (that weren't too pricey), I'd probably jump.
Honestly my favorite thing about G.I. Joe starting with RAH is how nobody working on it had any interest at all in doing the assignment as written. #GIJoe#ToyCollecting#RetroCartoons#RetroComics
