I have 2 sabers, a ANH Obi Wan made from half real vintage parts and then a mid range Luke ROTJ saber I got mostly to study the electronics build out so I can do an FX install in my Obi. I had planned to sell the Luke afterwards but the longer I keep it the more I’m considering getting a Luke ESB Graflex. Definitely wouldn’t want more sabers than that.

Joe Fisto posted:Wait I thought that was disproven. Was it not? There's two separate reports: one by Daily Mail, which was never corroborated by anyone that he was assaulting nurses at his nursing home. Daily Mail is dubious at best. There's another where a massage therapist filed suit against him in 2018. He died shortly afterward and I don't think anything came of it.

Oof, it’s hard to buy anything from the Mail that isn’t reported elsewhere. I hadn’t heard about the other, I’m surprised she didn’t sue the estate if there was validity to her claim.

So apparently SHF figures are $10 off at Target! So I got that fully clothed SSJ Goku. I think I’m going to buy the lighting effects to turn him into SSJ2. With that, I’ll have almost every form of Goku covered

A couple new guys arrived today.   For fun, here's a partial collection post. This is the computer room aka the front room. The rest of the display is in the TV room, but the lighting in there sucks for photos. I'll try to get some soon.

That's badass! I don't have a lot of displays set up at the moment cause building shelves in my toy room has been low on the list of home improvement projects, but hopefully one day I can show off some proper collection pics too.

Captain Invictus posted:joe fisto do you have a minecraft captain america When I worked in plastic injection molding, we had a customer who made bootleg Minecraft toys that my boss would always have me help because I knew nerd poo poo, and would give him suggestions on what characters to make. They’re pretty simple to make. You just snap the blank bodies together, and the rest is just the in game skin converted to a sticker. The company that owns Minecraft doesn’t care about this sort of thing as long as you’re not making Minecraft Steve or whatever.

They are also doing a poll for the color way on the figs and I really hope the purple wins. I love purple toys. Ya know, after wave 1 the Joe team got a whole lot better at updating the classic looks for the Classified line. That said, I think they went a little too far on the Timber redesign.

Well the first couple of waves were the designs from the awful game that came and went without a noise. That is why it had all the dumb SciFi and Overwatch looking stuff. According to stuff I heard there was a battle over going more in that direction or doing more classic designs/updates. It seems that the latter won out. Supposedly they are going to do classic updates of some of the early figures (Duke, Cobra Commander and Scarlett were the three I heard) in the next year or so. They tried to do a half assed attempt with the retro Destro, Baroness, etc but I guess the reception wasn’t great. Those are lower priority though.

Really don’t like the original one. Maybe they can do the silver armor CC, I always liked him as a kid. I am looking forward to the retro Gung Ho with the blue outfit and better tattoo. I’ve never heard of that game. That’s weird.

I am looking forward to the retro Gung Ho with the blue outfit and better tattoo. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G.I._Joe:_Operation_Blackout It is like part Battlefield and part Overwatch from what I have gathered. I think it was discounted for less than 5 bucks weeks after it was released. It was made by a developer and publishers without a great track record. I believe it was intended to be F2P originally and got turned into a standalone product. At one point there was to be a new TV series with the designs as well which died on the vine, which only the first Classified figures and the game remained of it all.

I am LOVING the character-specific collections! Cap, Baroness, Black Cat, She-Hulk! As a Daredevil, Blue Beetle, and Booster Gold collector, please keep those coming!Djarum posted:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G.I._Joe:_Operation_Blackout My only disappointment is that the only Joe that was a major playable character in the video game that hasn't been made in Classified is one of my favorite Joes, Sci-Fi. He was never an important character in the original comic or the cartoon, but he was the first G.I. Joe figure I ever picked out for myself as a kid in 1986, and I've always been a fan. He looks like a lime-green Robocop, he took Sgt. Slaughter to a comic book convention in his only featured appearance in the cartoon, and he was one of the only Jewish Joes (Seymour Fine!), so I identified with him the most as a comic-reading Jewboy. Every time we get a new Classified announcement, I keep hoping for Sci-Fi (and Chuckles, and Lifeline). At this point, it's almost a running gag that they'll never get around to those three guys.
