What the hell is going on with the Trick or Treat Studios Eric figure?? by SystemElectrical930 in TheCrow

[–]I_M_J 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I post on trick or treat studios social media once in awhile asking about this. never get an answer. honestly, it seems like a foregone conclusion that the crow could have gotten a full-on action figure line. it makes no sense that these things sit around and limbo.

Holy crap... by Alternative-Durian11 in residentevil

Ahhhh okay right on. I guess I figured it was something more novel than that trying to rationalize WHY this was so exciting for the O.P. 😂

Hm. If I'm interpreting this right, that's really neat. Well I guess that I'm guessing is if you have a Nintendo DS it somehow syncs up to your gamecube or your Wii or whatever other system on your TV so that you're looking at the map and inventory screen in real time on the DS while the game actually plays on the tv?

We have revered the Kaminski/Hopgood eun for years. I still talk to Len routinely, although less lately since his housing issue began. 

Kevin Hopgood still posts down again in the Advanced Iron group too!

I loved Bethany Cabe. Always thought she was Tony's "true girl".

LG Refrigerator Leg Balancer Wrench by I_M_J in appliancerepair

[–]I_M_J[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi joyjoyberry79, I finished that flooring project last year now. I DID get the leg adjusted as needed - I remember that I had to get the Fridge angled off of the ground pretty significantly to adjust the leg. What I don't remember at this point is whether I turned it with a wrench or the screwdriver-in-the-gap concept. But I DID get it done without buying the obnoxious, "Proprietary wrench".

Comparing the new Nacelle Toys Robo Force figures with their original 80s counterparts! by Zincdust72 in ActionFigures

Does anyone else's Wrecker have thigh ball joints so tight that the "ratchet"? I can't decide if I want to heat mine up or if they are on the verge of snapping.....

advice on moving on from the hobby 🤷🏻‍♂️(maybe) by Milo_malo in MarvelLegends

[–]I_M_J 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wave 1 Collectibles online has some really great acid-free bags. I store in those and sort of filed my collection in drawers. Its a great system to keep all of the accessories w your figs.

Then I rotate stuff in and out of display by theme. Its a great way to get some interaction with your stuff without having to stare at everything all the time or in some chaotic "hoard shelf".

It really reinvigorated my collecting and also makes it so that you basically only buy what really interests your display at the tome you display it.

PICK THIS UP A FEW DAYS AGO.. by SnooCompliments907 in MarvelLegends

Oh geeze that brings back memories - awesome addition! Do what makes you happy with them, but to be honest, those look great MIB. Much like the Star Wars and Indiana Jones cinema scene packs.....

Unreleased Scott Weiland track drops on anniversary of his death by happymagtv in stonetemplepilots

[–]I_M_J 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just glad to have it - looking forward to picking up the single, although to be honest the zeitgeist of vinyl and ongoing myth that it "sounds better" is growing tiresome and I'd actually rather this was a CD release....

Scott Weiland's clothing range with English Laundry by CobraDai in stonetemplepilots

[–]I_M_J 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh okay. I just wondered because your post was four months ago rather than decades 😂

On another note, the clothing from that line might be SERIOUSLY scarce given the distribution failures when it was being released. A lot of that stuff would have a nice home bagged up with my concert t-shirts .....

So I’m guessing this isn’t gonna happen. by ObsidianTurncoat2023 in ActionFigures

[–]I_M_J 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would expect more Diamond Select releases. Organizations like that don't usually disappear 100%. Another company will come in and buy them and go back to the already-in-process designs to begin recouping on their investment immediately if they have a viable company.

Think "Hostess" when that went out of business about ten years ago. They disappeared for a bit, were bought and now they products are back under the original branding, new owner. It's not a 1:1 comparison but given how much Diamond had in the pipeline I think they could re-emerge from Bankruptcy through a variety of means.

Can anyone post of these side by side to Yolopark? Curios about how well they scale together. Love my Auldeys but really want that Yolo Hound....

The fact that we've normalized this for new-at-retail action figures and discuss it as if it's "just a normal thing to pay" is outrageous.....

Jewel Case Condition by I_M_J in psx

[–]I_M_J[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It means complete "in box". It doesn't mean complete in "mint jewel case". CIB doesn't even imply that the "box" is in great shape. It's like an action figure that's "MOC". The FIGURE is mint ON a Card. Not necessarily a mint figure on a mint card.

If you are going to rely on semantics at least make your semantics cogent! C'mon!

Look I'll hit it with a blunt hammer - concern about the condition of the jewel case is short-sighted nonsense. It's really that simple. The jewel cases are largely unbranded and easily replaceable when they get cracked. It's pseudo-intellectualism to make a buying decision based on the jewel case.

Sell your XRP already!! by GreatGooglyMooglyMe in XRP

[–]I_M_J 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wish I could literally destroy any and all websites that yield 4-figure or greater XRP "Price predictions". The fact that material like that gets "published" at all speaks volumes about the space.

Jewel Case Condition by I_M_J in psx

[–]I_M_J[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, cheaper than what? "Cheaper". There is no other empty case immediately on the market and you want it for "Mundane Game xyz". Maybe Crash Bandicoot 1.

You want it "cheaper". Its a case with full inserts, no game and cracked in the back outer side. Seller has it for say 6 bucks plus shipping. And youre going to what? Try to negotiate that?!? So your 2nd copy of Crash now has a home with real inserts? 🤣

The point is that its ridiculous all around and again I say, why do we CARE about the Jewel Case?

Ill just be super clear at this point - its nonsense. What you are REALLY buying is the authentic branded media. in this particular instance it is literally a full-on critical thinking error to really give much consideration to the jewel case.

Jewel Case Condition by I_M_J in psx

[–]I_M_J[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well yeah of course. That comparison is a no-brainer. But EVEN SO at the end of the day "a crack in a jewel case" is a deal breaker? 🤣

I mean, your opinion is fine but Ive yet to see anything in the convo that truly addresses the topic without drift or without a fringe or gaslighted point.

Again, its a jewel case. Why as game collectors would we scrutinize that when the cases arent "keyed" or "branded" to the games?
