I got a package full of goodies from a Facebook friend!

I have wanted that Chap Mei ankylosaurus for ages!

Did some quarantine shopping after work and only bought the essentials LOL

Dan, would you have a group shot of your packaged dinosaur collection to show? I think you are both an opener and a carded collector but I can’t remember.

I am an opener so no packaged pics to share, sorry.

My dinos are scattered across 3 parts of my Hobby Room due to how massive my herds are. I will try to get some pice next Sunday when I am off again.

I scored this used arcade 1up Astroids deluxe cabinet this week on eBay.
  This would have been a late first gen cabinet that was exclusive to Costco stores.
  Sound, gameplay, and controls are spot on.
This one is easily my favorite so far.

So awesome Clint. I bet I know what you will be doing today. You are gonna have a full on arcade soon! Man, so envious. If I can figure out a way to clear some space in my collection room I am so doing this too.

[The Spectre]

Doing my part to stimulate the economy!

Cool stuff there! Never saw that Iron Giant before...nice score!

Expectation vs. Reality


Found this GoT figure on Amazon DE for 8,90€ (free shipping). Here's the link for all European readers:

I actually wanted to make a custom of Jedi Master Kao Cen Darach from The Old Republic videogame:




Now THIS is what is shown on the product page on Amazon:



What a nice glamshot of the prototype/computer generated mock-up…

THIS is what you actually get:






Oh, and talking About bubble-gate. This is what FUNKO came up with: staples!





The bubble is actually not glued at all - it's stapled on the card...

Conclusio: This is the first GoT figure I've ever seen and man am I glad that Hasbro IS NOT the only cmpany having serious issues with quality. The difference between shown and actual product is horrific!

This is actually meant to be 3.75" scale...well, I don't know what to do with this egg head because the head is WAY too big! Any suggestions?





Your feedback is alwayd welcome!

Yikes that is a big difference. You know what I would do? I'd paint the head blue, and make him like that alien bounty on mandolorian episode 1/ blue guy on droids cartoon. Something on par with that, not an exact replica.
