    I already have that one!;)  Lost one of the missiles sadly, but I’ve had the AGR for at least 6 years now. It’s one of my favourite brick-built sets ever Got it from ToysRus in the Uk for less than £10, probably around £4-£8. Strange how the figure he came with differs from the one in that picture.
    Strangely, I was thinking about that one just now! It does look quite nice, even though I’m normally not a fan of flying vehicles.
    Don’t have enough at the moment for both, but I’m nearly certain I’ll have both before quarantine’s over.

    I picked up a lone Alien egg that has been on the shelf for a while. The slime was a bit watery and the glitter is transferring easily.

    I honestly didn't realize that they used so much glitter in the slime. It's like it was made of ground up strippers.

    And it may have leached the color out of the vinyl.

    Definitely the tails are more pliable on the lighter versions.

    I heart Borderlands.
    But I hate CL4PTR4P. Hate him.

    ...but I heart Mega Construx Claptrap.
    He's so well done. I want more Borderlands toys from Mega.
    And I want translucent splash effects that make a gun on the ground look like it's an orange (rare) drop.
    And Tinks. Lots of Tinks.

    Hopefully EntertainmentEarth will have listings soon as I would prefer not to deal with ToyWiz.

    I do wish the cats had more leg articulation. Something like the Halo hunters.

    Oh yeah, well I’m gonna need both of those. Don’t want to deal with either of those shops or pay full price so hopefully Amazon, Walmart or GameStop has them on sale like they did for Greyskull.

    Unfortunately, Amazon hasn't been very reliable about getting in new stuff lately.

    How do preorders work there, do you pay up front?

    I thought I saw my answer in there. And quoting you post proved that correct. Thanks for the response. Ordered with money saved.

    A long time ago, an old friend of mine ordered a lot of movies from Deep Discount on DVD. Time passed and the order didn't show. So he contacted them. They replied, apologized and sent a second order with tracking. That order arrived consisting of his complete order and some duplicates and few things he didn't order at all.

    Several days later, the first box finally arrived. This one also contained things he didn't order. He contacted them again, explained the situation and they said they would send him a return label to send the duplicates back. To my knowledge, they never did get him the return label. I wound up some of the duplicate and unordered DVDs from the two shipments.

    There was probably five to six hundred dollars in DVDs [at the time] between the two boxes.

    The gf set up her Pokemon shelf. Not a lot, just some favorites of hers.

    We're going to need to you to go ahead and buy everything in your area that you can now. That way, Mattel and retailers realize that there is a demand.

    Yes, haunt your Dollar Generals. They seem to be getting the newer sets.

    Edit: found and purchased some cheap blue drop pod elites. The army grows.
