Hey /pol/? We got something for ya....

Not like Hasbro put in any more effort on the 50th anniversary line. Couple new bodies with a shitload of repaints, and some 80s vehicles that still had their large ankle pegs unchanged. No advertisement or hype, either. And most of that TRU shit can be found on eBay for less than retail now.

Club exclusives are just overpriced repaints for the "fans" who have invested their entire lives into the brand and can't say no, because getting an update to every character at any price is like crack to them.

I used to pay someone to paint Gundam model kits for me. Can't remember how much I paid, maybe like $50 plus material costs and shipping.
Worked out fine until the final haul I sent him. He had it for a long time and told me he had a girlfriend and was in the middle of moving but he planned to get back into it in a while. Never heard from him again.
Alex, if you're there, just give me my Gundams. I don't hate you for having a life. ;_;

>>5864349
I think he scammed you

>>5864352
Seems like it but I just can't see how, we'd already had several transactions and he had previously had way better stuff he could've kept. He even sent me pictures of the stuff he'd done so far, then it got quiet for a while and I got an email back after a long wait and then he just dropped off the face of the earth.

Store Locator says it is. Last I checked my Hastings was only taking 20% off of figures, but now that everything is officially 30%-50% off it may be time to see what's left.

I went to my Hastings on Saturday and they had slim pickings. Two SHF SSGSS Vegeta (still marked at ~$54.99) and a bunch of blind boxes of everything.

There were POPs for miles, though...

you could just buy clear acrylic paint you know. same thing just that you'll have no doubts about the contents.

>>5863607
>what the hell was the first person that used this thinking?
First person was probably a modeller who noticed the acrylic content and thought that it would be a cheap and easy source of clear paint.

>>5863607
>Does the pledge with future bottle look like this now?
Yes.

Y'know, people use it for more than loose joints. If you dip transparent polycarbonate plastic in it, it fills in the microabrasions and makes plastic "windows" look much more clear.

>>5863559
Oh yeah, that response was on 06 of July!

>>5863559
Did you pay through PapPal? And what shipping method did you use?

>>5863573
Credit card and I used SAL Small Packet (Registered), so I'm covered!

Post is weird.

Gee I wonder.

>>5863418

Quality thread mate, thanks for bumping one off the board for this.

Is this the filter people use for ghetto memes?

i almost wish i was a janitor or a mod so that i could ban tf faggots that adamantly refuse to use their containment threads

>>5863165
Man, good thing you weren't a pre-generals oldfag, huh?

Yes op this figure was a blatant cash grab pre mold for motormaster.
The funny thing is that it's going for a lot of money now. Sell it

IDW about 9 years ago.

Anyone have any experience from buying transformers toys off from kijiji?
Am I supposed to tell them what I want to buy before meeting them in person?

Beans from Even Stevens?

They're grey-haired because thirty years passed, right? That's ... brilliant. And kinda sad.
I need to stop crying at toys.

>>5861727
This is a fucking great MOC

>>5861745
>I need to stop crying at toys.
We're not crying. It's just raining, is all.

>comparing a non transformable figure to MP10, which transforms and needs to sacrifice for it
Don't go full retard, op.

Also 18" is way too big to display him with anything, man. Fuck that

>>5861722
He'd make a nice centerpiece for a collection, though. I think in that regard its nicer to be a casual fan of some franchises. You can get the biggest and better looking version of a thing from that franchise without needing to worry about it matching up with other figures or needing other things to go along with it. Like I want a Hot toys 1/4 Iron Man, but don't really like other Marvel movies so just having the one would be nice.

It looks no better than MP-10. Pass.

Those are all late 80s early to mid 90s toybiz marvel lines

>>5861623
Oh, c'mon son. There should be year numbers on the underside of the feet or on the backs of the figures.

i got one (green) and while i liked the light up effect it seems like its too expensive (10 bucks if i remember correctly).
It comes with some in-articulated hands and eight blades.
I dont think the battery will drain too fast, its a led - those things last forever, i wouldnt worry.

So yeah, fun but a bit expensive. If it were 5 dlls i would totally go for it. OR if it had two hilts.

>>5861576
where does the battery even go?

>>5861881

It's already inserted into the metal hilt and is non-removeable, so once it's dead, it's dead jim.

Does it actually transform? How about talk?

>>5861027
Yes, and yes. It also connects to an app and gives crime coefficient ratings to people you point at, while transforming to the appropriate mode.
