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

Yeah, but they almost fit. I'll definitely get one of those 7" Naví figures as they are close to 1/18 scale. I mean 1/16 scale isn't too far away and I might buy Colonel Quaritch for less than 24.99€ eventually.
He is the only human figure of the collector-aimed line as of now and comes with a good amount of accessories. That and the joints of the figure strongly remind me of the figures by BOSS FIGHT Studios!
The cherry on the cake for me is the fantastic design of the packaging! I mean the plastic window and all the wonderful colors look just awesome.

I agree these look arty out the yazoo. If you do get one and tear it apart be sure to put it on some regular AF stuff to show us how it looks. It could work I guess.

And I agree about the packaging, spot on.

Will do! For now it looks like Sister Reva gets closer to my trigger-line. Again, an amazing figure of an awful character in my eyes. If she gets under 10 bucks, I'll buy the TVC version of her.

And I'm so looking forward to the rest of the AVATAR toys to arrive on shelves. It does feel like the good ole days of collecting The Legacy Collection.

SmythsToys currently have some great deals! But they also work with an old trick suggesting the customer that the MRSP is much higher (look at the JW toys)! Still good deals nevertheless.














This set with motorcycle was at 36.99€ when it arrived, NOT at 52.99€. Artificial high MRSP to make the discount look even better.

That set with Nedry and Jeep almost reached a low of 20 bucks - amazing deal if you asked me and I wish I waited, but had to pull the trigger because this set was temporarily sold out here.

That avatar stuff is so awesome. Man I wish it were in scale with the regular AF lines.

You better buckle up and fasten your seat belt because what I found here might knock you off your chair...




REWE is a super market similar to Shop 'n Save. These 5POA figures have been sold for 1.99€ each and 2 years ago already, but for some odd reason they hang there now at full price, again. 4 YEARS later! I still have to laugh at this absurd find.

Talk about odd company names, scales and great value!



8.99 for that truck is a bargain and makes a great gift in my eyes.






Getting a pint of beer for 50 cents is one advantage of living in Germany.

Pictures of a dying store. Some STAR WARS products haven't moved in 7! years here!











It's painful to see wonderful stores dedicated to toys die like Toys "R" Us and FAO Schwarz before...

It's been a while...I can still see the Toys "R" Us emblem above the entrance.


Yesterday was the shortest day of the year. From now on the days become lighter, again.It was very busy, so I couldn't take the best pictures there this time. But I spent a good half an hour browsing through the aisles...






STAR WARS

We're talking almost 15 feet of shelf-space here! Like in the good 'ole day!







AVATAR

Prices already dropped even more!





Someone unpacked those blind-boxes to reveal a couple human figures. They're about 1.8 inch tall. That makes them 1/40 scale.






I miss those Multipacks for STAR WARS.

Battle Packs for 30 bucks? Sounds good. Charizard even comes with lights & sounds.

Nintendo/Jazwares seem to like "carbonized" figures, too!


I like that some Matchbox cars come with an actual box, again...


What a time to be a child!
