Masters Of The Universe

[unclassified]

since it's so stressfull to get things in person, im asking mandingo rex to hook me up..

nah, matty should have these on the site, so i'm ok there. and hope hasbro drops something dumb that i dont want. cus i know i'm not getting it from hasbro. i get fooled every year.

for hasbro, you really need someone that goes there to help you out. that is why i wrote off jinx, til a really awesome person on this site helped me out.

I could NOT get the 200x cannon to fit over MAA armor...COULD NOT!...so I dremeled out the inside of the hole of the blaster to fit over and now it's perfect!...

Also got Sorceress today...how glorious she is...she's so filmation!...I love her!...and I like Zoar, but I think it woulda been cool to include a second one with the wings folded to the side...

All I NEED now is Teela to feel complete...getting Whiplash and Fisto would be a nice bonus...I wouldn't kick Stinkor outta bed either

 

[Akunin]

Strange that I had no issue with my blaster, looks pretty sweet with it on! Oh, and so does Teela!

 

[nacho]

No collection is complete without Teela.

Anyone who doesn't have Teela is not a real fan

 

[Akunin]

I'm really hoping they do some figs in the new comic style. Of course the Sorceress would need the new outfit! An Teela would be pretty sweet too, only blonde!

 

[nacho]

While I'm content to make my own, a blonde modern teela in her regular outfit would kick ass. That's waaaaaay better than "third guy from the left" in that random filmation episode about orko's mom. The bottom-scraping of the character selection is killing me. I think I would actually prefer a few redecos at this point.

um... are you using the 200x one or the classics one? if you dont have the classics one, that's probably why, lol..

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

The classics one...I just call it 200x because that's where the design came from...right?

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

My wife noticed my MOTUC collection growing from almost non existent to 20+ figs...she said, "they're multiplying like gremlins!" *makes popping sounds*...I told her they'd been stored in the closet and I was rotating them out one at a time for the past few years but now I wanted to display them all together...

LOL.. well we know who wears the pants in your family. So where exactly is she when the mail comes? How do you pull that off? Stash the mailer boxes or do you make a mad run to the dumpster?

Over 20 now huh? Damn, nice little collection you have there!

 

[unclassified]

i wonder why it didnt fit.. you dont design ford products, do you? you do like paper work and office things right? i just wanna make sure just incase i ever get a ford, i know not to cus eddie built it..

It's easier than explaining and listening to her complain ...they typically come while she's at work, so it's not an issue...and our city provides every home with a HUGE recycle bin (thanks agenda 21!) so getting rid of the evidence is quite easy...

Hahaha!...I may've been able to force it on, but I really didn't want to mess up Duncan's armor...the hole in the cannon just was NOT large enough for it to comfortably fit on...

As for my Ford job, I just ship parts to dealers ...no worries there...and if you do decide to buy one, LMK, I'll get you a discount

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

Do you have pics of your collection anywhere Eddie?

This is it right now...it's a hutch top in my toy/game room...I have to rotate out things in my collection for space constraints...the top used to be home to my JSI F-14...

Also missing from this pic are King Greyskull and She-Ra...they just don't fit in...KG is displayed on my 80's shelf as the MOTU representative...

Sorry about the sh!tty pic...the lighting is awful...I may have to take a new one when the sun is out...

 

[Akunin]

Holy shit! I don't care about the picture quality, nice collection!

Looks like the Sorceress is about to say

"FIGHT!"

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

Haha...you don't know how hard it was to get that damn bird to stay on her arm

 

[Akunin]

I tried to get mine to stay on the Temple of Darkness Sorceress but the frickin bird wouldn't stay put.. so you succeeded where I failed! Ass!

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

*Ace voice*

Lah-who-zuh-her!

 

[Akunin]

*Ace voice*

Lah-who-zuh-her!

I've got Whiplash... Ha!

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

No fair!...I can't play that game with you...wait, yes I can!

Oh yeah!...well I've got the sword of the ancients!

 

[Akunin]

Oh yeah!...well I've got the sword of the ancients!

whyyoudirtylittlesonofa...



I don't want anyone seeing me cry.

 

[Dark Horse]

I got the MotUC great wars weapons pak today.

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

I need a MOTUC fix, but the ones I want are too $$$...DANG IT!

 

[Bravestarr]

It is indeed a nice collection, Eddie.

However, you lose a point for buying Fang Man instead of Kobra Khan.

Tsk, tsk....

 

[unclassified]

i love fang man.. but i do have cobra khan..

 

[unclassified]

fang man seems to not to even be moving. saw one for 30 and 34, i got mine at the last 16 seconds at 39.

ak, i say get him and have the sword of ancients plus the under scale wheel of infiniti

eddie, sweet collection, bro. you should get zodac. he's cheap i believe.

man, i cant wait to get two bad.. or modulok..

and like a giant list of filmation characters.

 

[unclassified]

eddie get sy-clone and panthor too.

Thanks Brave...and you musta missed the Snake Men discussion...I don't care for them...haha

And as for Fang Man, I didn't even know who he was...then I watched one of the first ten episodes, the only one he appeared in, and I had to have him...

Thanks...I've considered Zodak, but he's kinda meh to me...same goes for Panthor...Syclone...absolutely zero interest...don't know why, just don't care for him at all...

Two-Bad...oh yeah!...I want that mofo bad!...and of course Whiplash, Teela and Fisto...I could be talked into Jitsu IF I get Fisto...

 

[unclassified]

i'll fist ya.. oh fisto.. nvm..

headman said the same thing about zodac.. he was like my first figure. i thought he was cool, yes, boring, but he had his place..

i love motuc, im so happy i got em. im seriously hating my joes right now..

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

...i love motuc, im so happy i got em. im seriously hating my joes right now..

I'm actually feeling the exact same way lately...I'm so p!ssed with how Joes have been handled, that I almost don't like them anymore...I've had Big Boa for weeks and STILL haven't opened him!...that's unheard of for me...but I just don't care lately...I'm sick of either them not being stocked in stores and costing $10, and worse, the awesome ones are now always exclusives and cost stupid amounts of money for what you get...

On the flip side, MOTUC is rather pricey, but I feel like you get tons more for the money, not to mention they all look PERFECT...whereas with Joes, even the $$$ ones need fixing or are just sh!tty kit bashes/repaints...

And I found one I forgotten about that I wanted...Buzz Off!!

 

[unclassified]

yeah, buzz off. i didnt think of him. i had to have em all, and just welcomed the ones i never knew of, like faceless one, or catra, shit, basically a shit load of figures they made. i was clueless to who anyone was, but i still wanted em. i love how in the classics, they take motu characters from evreywhere and they all fit together seemlessly. 200x count marzo looks great next to classic skeletor. we all should just be happy we didnt get the filmation count marzo. i dont need a shakespear in my eternia..

 

[unclassified]

buzz off seems to be cheap. i'd watch a auction and nail one cheap

fang man is 30, i dont get why when i wanted mine a few weeks ago i had to battle ppl for it, now i see a few with no bites. bull shit..

im getting a eternia map, wooo. now my maps will be complete and want to get em framed..

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

I don't bother with auctions...I got sick of people sniping me at the last second...I got Buzz for $35 shipped...

 

[Akunin]

Buzz of is the perfect contrast for Webstor!

I felt the same about joes for quite awhile, last years SDCC is what broke the camels back. I wanted a handful of Joes and the sub it wasn't much better. I was after Boa, Jinx (both) and a few others and well but at $50 a piece? It was just time to find a new hobby.. so I did.

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

I think the hardest part is, the same thing the club, Hasbro and scalpers try to sell for $30+ can be had at retail for $10 or less...and I don't wanna hear that smaller production numbers BS, they're using almost all old molds!

Where with MOTUC, it can only be had online...and when you see one for $60 (which sucks) that's still only twice the normal price, but the figures are perfect!...when you see Joes for $30+ (often MUCH higher), that's three times or more the retail price and often halfa$$ed attempts...the value just isn't there IMO...especially when the ones for $10 don't even seem like a good value...

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

Also, Buzz Off needs one of the Moduloks butt transplants too to be more bug like

No kidding. I picked up a figure awhile back the dragon ninja whatever (its the one I took pictures of with my Godzilla for scale) and I couldn't believe how poor the quality was. The eyes to the paint and even the molding itself, the whole looked like it was bootlegged. Zip for accessories except for that crappy zip line/ whateverthefuckitis. I compared it to some of the 25th I have and it dawned on me. Hasbro fell back into the same damn routine they did when the joe line died the first time. Instead of quality (poc anyone?) we get this shit just to go with the movie. I sound bitter because I am.

 

[Mandingo Rex]

There's zero reason that the Club Joes are fucking $30. Zero. I don't give one goddamn how many asskissers are over at HT defending them on the price, but there simply isn't a reason that a 4" GI Joe that uses 99% old parts costs the fucking same as a 6" MOTUC figure that has 10x the accessories and generally come with new parts, in fairly large packaging. Rarely do the MOTUC figures consists of 100% repaints, and if they do, it's a successful mix of parts.

And MOTUC is getting a Grayskull, whether folks bitch about it or not. That's still a gigantic playset.

If they're that fucking expensive, then double the production numbers and find some storage for overstock. It can't cost that damn much for warehouse space in Texas. The shit will sell out, no worries about that, even if it has to sit a short while.

The Club also buttfucks you on shipping. $15 to ship a single figure? Eat my dick, Brian, there's no reason for that if you've ever seen the condition their shit arrives in.
