Today at McDonald's, I witnessed a little boy saying which ninja turtle toy he wanted for his happy meal.
>pic related
His mother said no, because they are violent.
>noticed Catholic flier in her hand w/Bible
He tried to reason wither her.
>This one is a helicopter
It can be used like a saw weapon
>This one doesn't have a weapon
He's making fists. >WTF
She then insisits that he pick one of the "happy animal toys".
>pic related
This kids WANTS a ninja turtle.
She convinces him that he can play animal rescue, starting with the frog.
He begs the counter lady to save the others happy animals for him when he comes next time.
I'm not going to judge the parenting being done here, but the situation looked a bit fucked.
So, what toys couldn't YOU have?

HE DID IT! Absolute madman!
Paradisa is shit.
I made some new streetlights for Czekolada

So are these going to be 2 different releases/decos, or is there some kind of part swapping going on here?
>>6040693
Parts swapping, which kind of sucks because that means the price of the package will be inflated as opposed to just having one or the other.
Ebay has a $15 off $75 or more flash sale for the next three hours. The code is CYBERFLASH16 and should be good on 3rd party stuff.
Old thread has been swapped out for an Armada Sideswipe. Continue here.
Has anyone seen IRL toy swapping in their local Transformers aisle?
Old thread: >>6038945
Never saw an in store swap before
I'd like to think the stores around me are a bit wiser to that
Posting the entire UW-EX story since it's finally over.
>>6040627
I only wish they'd use the Japanese names since shit gets confusing in the Baldigus chapter.
For those unfamiliar, "Plamo" is a shortened form of "plastic model." If it's made of plastic, someone can probably help you here.

It's that time of year again. Just look at the form and fill it out. Signups last until December 1st, pairs go out in the days after that.

A few things:
-Use an active email, I don't want to be hounding you and then have to repair someone.
-Use your full address, I don't know every damn city and zip code in the US.
A new option, Cards Only. If you pick this you're assumed to be willing to ship international (it's a card after all). It doesn't have to be a handmade card, just something nice. Of course handmade is nicest, but not everyone has the skills for it.

Whats his problem
>>6040307
He tries too hard to be funny.
Memeshit is the lowest form of comedy.
>>6040307
He's trying to be the Filthy Frank of toy reviewers
>>6040307
The guy is autistic.
I've just ordered my first gundam kit, what am I in for.
>>6040256
Which one?

Enjoy the slipperly slope of plastic crack.
So it seems like japanese imports don't appreciate in value anymore. With western releases becoming more popular, releases are left over with a ton of stock.
Kind of sucks because I would regularly rotate my figures and get new ones. Market has ultimately become stale though.
>>6040131
the Pit figma, that rabbit figma, Megaman X D-arts, Keybots, some pokemon figures...
>>6040131
Because Ryuko Matoi definitely didn't increase in valueØŸ
>>6040131
What is that pic from? Pretty cool
What do yo guys think of the citizen brick lego? I think it's great! Pretty pricey tho.
>>6040000
I want to know what's under the sheet.
>>6040073
Twin Peaks reference
>>6040138
I think that's why he wants to know what's under the sheet.
Figuarts or Figma when?
figuarts chief would actually be pretty neat, so long as they get the kamen rider team to do him.

I went to Black Friday and Wal-Mart brought out a pallet with maybe about 50 on it and everyone went nuts!! it was like a total Battle Royal fists were flying. there was screaming, cursing, crying. someone was actually stabbed!! another person had I think their nose broken. there was destruction being being people were pushed/thrown into other product displays. in the end 6 arrests and 10 had to go to the hospital with various degrees of injury
>>6038320
did anyone get it on fucking video?
>>6038324
yeah there was a few recording it
and yes there was some guy shouting "Worldstar!! Worldstar!!"
I didn't take my phone being this didn't happen last year it was rather uneventful but I wish I took it after the fact
>>6038320
What kind of ghetto do you live in? we had 18 behind the pharmacy counter and other than a minor squabble before we gave out tickets it was uneventful.
Anyone else buy this and have a bunch of issues with it?
The diamonds on the shirt are peeling up, and I just took it out of the box.
>>6038236
Also, it looks like one leg is longer than the other.
>>6038239
Thankfully I bought it from amazon so returning it is easy.
Im trying to decided if I want to get a refund, or exchange it for a new one. If anyone else has this figure, and can let me know how theirs is, that would be a big help.
