    Once again I was going to stop there yesterday for a Grapple but I missed the turn and just went home. Doh.

    Judge him by his size, do you? I wouldn't pass on Cliffjumper just because he's a little shorter than the other deluxes. I'm guessing that you think he should be priced in line with a $10 legends figure, so I attached a comparison photo of Cliffjumper with Windcharger. Cliffjumper is better in every way. He's more detailed, more articulate, has better engineering and sculpting. He's heavier and made of higher quality and thicker plastic. He has a translucent windshield instead of a painted on one. He comes with a weapon that can come apart and form other accessories, where as Windcharger doesn't come with any accessories. He has better wheels, that don't look like they were just clipped on. Cliffjumper is every bit a deluxe. Don't think of it as spending $20 on a short deluxe. Think of it as being able to own the best Cliffjumper figure ever made.

    All great points, I'll grant you. I never had the classics mold, can anyone do a comparison with that one? Loved every version of TFP cliffy. (Heh, D. johnson, lol). I am looking forward to the next studio series BB-movie Cliff, he looks like the $20 would go a bit farther. Right now, I'm hoping for early clearance or 5-below/Ross restock pricing.

    I'm a cliffjumper collector (got EVERY figure of his) so I got him but even I'm welling to acknowledge he's a bit much for so... little. Still bought him however, collectors prerogative I guess.

    I'm that way with certain characters, though in recent years I've had to scale back because of costs. I kinda miss the time I could get a deluxe for $7.77 at walmart.

    Doing good here. Still have to go to work everyday, so far. Went shopping to stock up. All I saw in Jefferson City TFwise was siege figures. Target did have Laserbeak and Ravage, 2x. Didn't hit Best Buy because I ran out of time though.

    You don't call? You don't write?? I kid. I kid. Working from home for about 2 weeks now, which coincidental worked great as the wife and I got a puppy so we've had lots of time to have with the little guy. Other than than just cleaning up the house, keeping up with work and in the spare time working on model kits and organizing the collection.

    Doing all right here. Guess I gotta peek into Walmarts while Doordashing now that the Netflix figures are starting to pop up.

    Trying to stay alive. News getting worse by the minute. 5 more cases at Creve Coeur preschool near my old stomping grounds. Man.

    Gonna try to get some essentials for the week today. Gotta limit risk of exposure as wife is undergoing chemo-like treatments. This makes for very little sight-seeing for TFs (aka online only).

    Everyone be safe.

    The whole virus thing actually kicked off the day before my surgery and I've been in quarantine since then. Haven't seen hide nor hair of another human in about 10 days, but I have to go out today because, surprise surprise I actually NEED toilet paper and detergent.

    Bro, you're going to have a hard time with that. Take my advice and call around or try to order online.

    In st Charles. Not going out. I fear the virus is everywhere, and my paranoia/maybe have symptoms is making me think at least once an hour do I have it? I’d probably be ok I’m 45 and smoke no other underlying health conditions.
