    One clampdown at golf mill wallyworld. Not sure if the light bar is supposed to be attached in the box, but I didn't see it on the roof.

    The lightbar is wrapped up in the bundle with the gun behind the cardboard, so no worries there.

    I need to reorganize/clean up my collection a bit. I have mostly ikea detolfs for display but is there any new hotness for around the same price/quality? I think last time I was there they had some shorter but wider all metal frame cabs that actually had locks on them but I can't remember what they are called. They looked nice tho.

    I dunno about you guys but I get burnt out collecting when I don't have a nice, clean display to put new things inside. Just don't have the room/organization right now.

    Sounds like you're in need of a nice, clean display to put new things inside.

    I am struggling with too large a collection as well. I slowed, and I am selling, trying to simplify and streamline my collections, and only collect a few lines instead of so many. It's not easy....

    It also helps to maybe try a rotating display. Just pick characters out of a bin at random every week and pose them. It means you get to pose something new every week, and you get to handle and transform your figures.

    Streamlining is very hard....I just kept the re-issue G1s that I wanted and am focusing on the WFC line and current. I limited my set to those seen in the generation 1, seasons 1&2 and the movie.

    Galaxy Shuttle is up for pre-order on Walmart.com if you want to take your chances.

    I get a lot of the jada micro stuff instead since they are diecast but that hauler definitely looks awesome enough to store them all in

    Moline Target has 1 core class Soundwave, and 1 Blitzwing.

    If you'd like to build a sizable army of Sweeps, Silvas Walmart has over half a dozen of them, plus a couple Wreck Gars.
