Do you get the accessories cheaper through auction? I've only looked on the website. Here are a couple of starter shots, just decided on what I want them to be carrying. Once I get them all sorted I'll go back in to pose some better. I still have about 20 left to put out, but they don't have stands. I need to order some or their feet will fall through the stupid holes. I'll select a few to ride in the Vamps I have also. Only took me 5 fucking years to start displaying them.

Very nice start. On their eBay page they've only got a few select items. As for shipping it's 2.95 and you only pay it once per order. I ordered 4 items last time and three of them were free shipping.
Sorry I'm having a hard time explaining it.

Also damn you you've got the Zombie Viper. I can never find that thing without a ridiculous price tag. I'd love to add it to the Resident Evil Joes I've made.

Wish I'd have known at the time. I found plenty around here, bought 6. I sent one to Raz, Thrall and Holeman. Kept 1 for me and sold the other 2 last year.

Go look at the Korfingerningreffinbarkerloggin or whatever it's called I mentioned on the last page. They're a neat metal framed display cabinet for Hot Toys, except that they have metal legs instead of a bottom shelf. Cost a buttcheek and a boob, too, compared to Detolfs. But they look rad.

But they look rad. hahah ok will do. Need something that can hold my Weta Sauron, the base is like 4-5 inches too long for the Detolf. Onto Gi Joe yakking, hoping to snag a 50th anniversary Skystrike from the two pack... Not a bad price for the two pack but not sure if I want the HiSS tank

Speaking back to Marauders they've been a great help in gearing up my MU Punisher.

I believe it. I felt dumb not buying all that clearance stuff a little while back. I know that they're hard to find in some areas.

I miss finding something rad. I miss sharing and talking about it. I like seeing Thrall again.
TRU still has some of the 2-packs and 3-packs on clearance, but they're about 2 bucks less than they were on the pegs.

Awesome display! I got the Firefly 3 pack and Shipwreck 2-pack at TRU not too long ago. The 2-packs were like $10, and 3 pack wasn't much more. It was awesome to find them for that price.

TRU is where I got the 3-pack with Bazooka to make my RE5 Chris custom. Last time I was there they still had some and if they still do the next time I stop by I'll probably pick up a few. Even if I don't really need the Joes the gear and weapons they come with are more than worth it.

Went to kill time in the Goodwill next to the pizza place while waiting for them to cook dinner.
Found a 2010 V.A.M.P. for $1.99. It was played with and missing the small accessories, but in overall good condition. Definitely worth 2 bucks to add to the pile. Now I've got this one, the 2011 version and the blue ninja version.
Also found a bluetooth keyboard for my iPad mini for $5. And it works! LOL

NICE! I always wanted the tan Vamp from the POC days but passed it up every time I saw it. Great haul for $2.

That's an awesome set. I'd love the ROM figure as well as the Roadblock. Sure wish they'd come back with retail Joes.

The set really is appealing. Even if I'm not into most of it. But it's very well put together. It's funny, I always still link Peter Peeker with Micronauts.

Completely forgot I had that $2 VAMP. I put it in a box and never thought about it. But I came across it the other day, and disassembled it. Gonna get some matte black spray paint and detail the shit out of it. Make it a night vehicle.

Those dont look too bad at all. Curious to when they’ll release some Vipers and Cobra Commander.

There are 2 secret figures included in case purchases. So CC will probably be one of those. And I would not be surprised at all to see Snake Eyes or a Cobra Trooper as the second.

I don't think they're secret so much as unknown right now. I also don't think we'll get Cobra Commander in the first wave. Rumor I saw on Toynews International, I thin is that one of the figures is Destro and the other is Firefly.
