Flashback2012:
Dunno if this helps anyone but saw the Shredder/Ras al Ghul 2-pack on clearance at GS. I'm pretty sure it said it was GS exclusive.

Me too. Ghostbusters were a big deal for me as a kid, just like the Turtles, and still are a big deal. I missed out on the re-release of the classic TMNT figures, so I sort of feel redeemed by getting these.

Not particularly interested in that, but I've been trying to get other stuff from their website for weeks now and I just can't. Their website is just utter trash.

Last Walmart "Black Weekend" pick ups from November:



The collectibles area in the electronics section was flooded with too many freaking Funko Pops!; however, they also had a bunch of NECA figures, but this was the only one that caught my eye...especially given it was the last one. so I picked it up without hesitation.



Captain America and Thunderstrike I actually got on December 2nd. No Iron Man in sight, unfortunately, which means Mr. Fixit is missing his left right arm. I must say in all honesty, though, this wave leaves a lot to be desired—even the BAF itself is hit or miss given its various inconsistencies. Of the whole set, the BAF aside, Falcon and Kang are the only that stand out the most, and actually happen to be the only two I'm actually considering keeping alongside Mr. Fixit.

Continuing to get some more vintage toys:


With the 3PO & R2, I'm down to just one concept figure left (Concept Luke Skywalker, another convention exclusive), then I've got the entire Mcquarrie line of figures. I'm also laughing at how pathetic that Thomas Riker figure is, especially with him being one of the rarer figures of the Star Trek line. The reason is that, as he's a clone of Will Riker, it's pretty obvious that they'd do the easy route and just repaint one of the Will Rikers, which they did. However, they chose the one with the battle damage on his uniform, and when doing the repaint, didn't paint the battle damage. So, it looks like his shirt is torn open to reveal that he's wearing an identical shirt underneath that. He at least has different accessories as Will, but nothing actually unique to the figure. I can't harp on Thomas too badly though, as he was a catalyst in me becoming the collector I am today by the virtue of being the very first rare card I got in a pack of collectible cards.


Also added more to the board game collection. My Shelves dedicated to Risk and it's variants are well over capacity now.


And finally more stuff for the Lego backlog. I hate that I have a Lego backlog, moreso now that it's now at 50 sets. But, I need more shelves. So for now, many wait until I can do a full remodel of my game room area.

Some unexpected "pick ups" courtesy of an eBay seller that threw them in a recent lot I bought. They're loose, but they still have that fresh "like new" smell that leads me to believe that either the boxes were not in the best shape or the seller thought the packaging wouldn't survive the trip given all the cushion was already taken up by the games. Either way, gift horse, so...



These are from the Power Rangers Lightning Collection series, and from left to right we have: Cybervillain Blaze from Beast Morphers, Shadow Ranger from S.P.D., and Magna Defender from Lost Galaxy.

It's been a good while since I last saw a Power Rangers show, but these look really nice. I'll be going over my room soon to do some reorganizing, so I'm definitely going to display these three.
