Acid Rain World 1:18th Toys

[Meddatron]

^ They are a little cheaper on BBTS Acid Rain Toys, Action Figures, and Collectibles

I think that is the main spot that they are for sale, and the cheapest place. Somebody would need to back me up on that though. I am not 100% sure.

Dammit, I was considering using a Hiya German as the base for an ARW figure. Sold out at BBTS.


Looks like I've got another Pegasus Gee Bee Z on my hands.

 

[cb671]

Those are alot cheaper than fleabay....I ended up getting about 6 SW figures loose for around $50...maybe next week i'll order from BBTS

 

[Meddatron]

If you decide to order from BBTS, when you make your account, turn on Pile of Loot ordering. It's off by default. This allows you to buy stuff and have it put on a shipping "hold" in the warehouse till you decide to ship. This allows you to slowly buy a bunch of items and put them in your Pile Of Loot until you have enough in there to make the shipping cost worth it. Once you are ready, you hit ship and pay only ONE shipping cost for all the items you had previously bought.


Edit - No additional cost for using the BBTS Pile of Loot system and it saves you money. Love it!

Man, those figures looks sweet! I see there are some reviews on here that I need to read...

There are sets of 6 on eBay from China for $59.99 and free shipping, BTW.

As for Acid Rain, my Bob gets here today. I see that Entertainment Earth has them as well as a free shipping for bigger orders. Has anyone bought from them?

 

[Meddatron]

yeah, I have bought from EE many many times. Ebay, BBTS, and EE are my first look sites to buy from always. EE gets exclusives as well. Years ago, they had the final SW Expanded Universe Comic packs. Wave with Darth Nihl.

 

[K-Tiger]

I don't want to pay $60 bucks for them.

They are same price as BBTS on EE. Except Bob, he is $1 more on EE. http://www.entertainmentearth.com/hitlist.asp?searchfield=acid+rain+world&onform=1&eeshop=&x=0&y=0

 

[K-Tiger]

Not talking about the ARW figures. You posted before I did, screwing up the flow.

 

[Meddatron]

haha, roger that. The Germans is what you were referring to.

 

[Preacher13]

I have been considering EE's Bob on Ebay for a couple days. He's less than $35 shipped.

EDIT: Just bought him.

Ha! Well done, Preacher! We'll be seein' more of Bob's mug around here, then The rest of my AR crew gets here Tuesday.

The collection has begun:



Here they are fitting in pretty damn well with the dudes I've been making, and a fodder Mech for a set of customs I'm making:



I gotta say, my initial "whatever" impression has worn off. The Steel and Infantry dudes are really great. I'll be ordering more, perhaps next month if the ARAH stuff I have up on the 'bay, sells.

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

They look fantastic in your dio!

 

[TIE_FighterTK069]

They look fantastic in your dio!

Thanks, Eddie! I agree, I think they fit it well... I just discovered another really cool line of figures from ThreeA, World War Robot or something, but they're 1:12 scale. Man, these are the figures and characters I used to daydream and wish for as a kid.

I'm itching to build more onto this dio now that I've amassed so many figures, but I just don't have the room.

 

[K-Tiger]

Fellas with both, how do these guys fit in our 1:18 vehicles? I imagine they'd look good peeking out of a Tiger I or Panther. Fitting them in the cockpit of WWII birds will be a tight squeeze, but they should be good to go in helos, yes?

I don't have much in the way of vehicles, but they fit well in what I do have:







I can tell you that with their articulation and range of movement, they're MUCH easier to get in and get posed well than regular Joes.

 

[K-Tiger]

Yeah, the Joe and PTE stuff err on the roomier side. I think you could get a full crew of these in the Tiger.

If you want to borrow one to test out fit, let me know.

That's just cool as shit!

 

[cb671]

I was gonna just limit myself to just WW2 era figures and a few Star War's. Dammit these are getting more tempting to buy!!!!!! lol

 

[darthdre758]

Well, dammitt, I just bought a Bucks Team Steel figure.

What the hell is wrong with me.

 

[TIE_FighterTK069]

I said I was going to wait to buy more as well... But I ordered another Bob, Steel, Infantry, and Sol today. Dammit. But, I also sold some stuff too, so out with the old and in with the new!

 

[darthdre758]

The Sol is tempting...but he's too bland for me. I'm interested in an Augurts too...but they're sold out.

 

[daremo]

You only need the helmet, vest, and gun to make the Agurts into a Sol.

The Agurts is in stock at Entertainment Earth.

Also, looks like Jack, Argus, and King are coming soon. The FB7 Flak bike too...

Kit is always posting cool stuff on his instagram. Hopefully some of his other ideas will see production.

 

[darthdre758]

Damn. I'll get Jack at least.

Trying to find a way to spend your lottery winnings?


:trollface:

 

[Brickhead]

Sweet! Definitely getting Jack. Heres what I got so far. I mix in some of my ThreeA cause they go together well.

Bob
4 Yogurts
4 Steel
2 Sol Commanders

I kind of want a Raptor... but I don't want to spend $80... a little too steep for me.

Yogurts! Ha.
Yea, the vehicle/robot transformer things look incredibly awesome, but that's a lot of money. I reckon the craftsmanship is worthy of the price tag, but I'll have to get rid of a bunch more Joe stuff to justify buying the Stronghold and MKII Speeder I want. For now, I'm just modding other vehicles to match the aesthetic I have going on, and that these ARW guys fit into so well.

 

[Preacher13]

Bucks Team Bob arrived in my mailbox today!! Very cool. Plastic is much softer than I imagined. This is my first Acid Rain guy. A bit too expensive for me on the regs, but I wanted Bob before he was gone or went way up in price.

 

[darthdre758]

Don't be fooled by the plastic. It is soft, but man is it durable. I don't know how they found the right mixture while Hasbro and others are still dicking around with three different types.

One of us. One of us.
Haha!
Nice detail on them, huh? I want ot know how they get the paint so kick ass.

It is durable lol, I dropped on of these suckers off a 30 ft. Quarry, barely a scratch lol! Imagine a new Gi Joe, that fucker would have been in a thousand tin parts!

 

[saltymarine]

Here's a few Soil ghosts I'm working on, still need to change some hands and feet, do some painting but these are my prototypes, got some capes and other stuff in the mail I'm waiting on to, does anyone know who can sculpt a female head to look like Arissa from Defiance ?

 

[TIE_FighterTK069]

Looking good, Salty!

 

[shadowwarrior]

So yeah.. My new Camera is the SHIT!

Snapped thsese up - enjoy..

Also cast a Bob head, and helmet and made a Helmeted Bob (from the blog story we know before he died he was a regular Agurts soldier..)

 

[Meddatron]

Some really cool stuff SW! Great job on that cast.

 

[saltymarine]

Wow man that is awesome! I have that figure, I 4got all about it, Dude your stuff is Bitchen !!

 

[Vindicare86]

I really do need to get some more of these guys...

 

[TIE_FighterTK069]

Oh yea:
