ROSSMANN is similar to Walgreens.



Glad to see those ships at a local drug store. This line becomes wide available here in Germany.

Wow, what I wouldn't give to have a store with TVC Pegs like the one you have. I haven't seen that many vintage figures on the pegs in I know five or six years.

I have so got to not look at the Micro Galaxy Squadron Stuff. Thank god they don't make a walker yet. I know they have an AT-ST, but I have been able to resist. It reminds me of Action Fleet so much. If they had packaged it like original action fleet or like they did vintage stuff I know I wouldn't be able to resist it.

And then there is MOTU. I used to have a lot of those as a kid and man they packaging and everything is just spot on from what I remember, such cool stuff. I gotta walk fast by when I see it. Man, I always wanted a Castle Greyskull as a kid and never got it just like a Walker. Guess I have my walkers now! LOL.

Great store reports Philipp. It is so interesting to see what is out there. Man, what Christmas Dios you can make too.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts as well! Yes, sometimes it's hard to resist some cool stuff, but it got much better over the years. Hasbro's 5POA line was so appalling to me that it really got me down to earth again and get rid of the fever. And their current prices are too insane so that I became very picky of what to get. I still collect a lot of different stuff though. But I'm not starting anything else.

It was a fun ride yesterday and I'm very glad I didn't take the train to Meissen. However I wasn't expecting so much stuff on shelves there either. So with all that stuff, there was no way to transport it by train, so I'm extremely glad I decided to take the car to this 50 minute ride. And I hadn't moved it for almost 3 weeks.

Anyway my dad's passion are G scale model trains by LGB, PIKO and U.S. Trains. And those dioramas are in scale (1/24). All come with LEDs and some even with sound! So at 10 to 13 bucks I just had to get them for him!

It really was! Spontaneously stopped by at my grandparents' house on the way back. Brought them some Dutch specialties which I found at Action.
And it was great to find a TBC Archive 501st Legion Clone Trooper out in the wild for the first time!
SmythsToys had listed that wave months ago, but NEVER stocked them.

And I'm very happy about those Christmas dioramas with incredible price to value ratio.
The 40% off at the home goods store were just the cherry on the cake.

The first products of McFarlane's new toy line for Avatar 2 are available at SmythsToys' onine store now.
I cannot wait to take a look at them at my local store myself.
And I can see me recreate that structure on my next modular diorama:





This is a setup made by Phil_Creations with Unreal Engine.
Make sure to take a look at his well done website as well: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/xYEBYW

Wow, get rid of the Avatar Figure and swap in a CT on a Gelagrub and you are set. So awesome.

This is exactly what I'm going to do!





Let's take a closer look at this continued toy line here.

AVATAR - World of Pandora








Unfortunately the human figure is slightly taller than 3.75" Star Wars figures. The height of about 11 cm makes them officially 1/16 scale.

The Avatar Products are placed right on the opposite site of the Star Wars Section:

Awesome store report. Too bad those figures are slightly larger. Would have made for some great custom parts.
