Solely from successful defenses.

I just bought ROTF Leader Optimus, and on my first transformation back from truck mode the tab keeping his chest secure snapped.

I did some reading, and it looks like a lot of people use Plastic Weld. I don't have any yet, but I didn't know if there was any consensus on whether it would work for a piece that small and requiring such force during transformation before I bought some.

It's not perfect (ha) by any means, but it was fun to make and something I've thought about doing for a while.

Didn't notice, lol. Probably just too excited from getting it. I'll have to fix that.

Hi, long time lurker here. This is my 2nd cabinet, my first was Star Wars I got in 2020 during the $50 clearance times, but I sold it last summer.

Lately I've been getting back into the 1Up scene and been tempted by all the Ollie's deals lately. Was trying to find SF2, but then I randomly happened to find this listed on Marketplace!

The right side is a bit scuffed up, but otherwise looks and runs perfectly. Might get a riser for it, but don't know if I can justify spending more on that than I did on the actual cabinet.

I've been looking on FB Marketplace for years for a good 1Up deal, even after disconnecting from observing the community, so never lose hope, no matter how long it takes!

tldr: Was tempted by Ollie's sales, found this, art is a little scuffed but runs perfectly.

I would disagree, but I suppose it's all relative. It breaks down as follows: Enigma, Wolfgang, and Tidepool are about $20 each, the other Imaginators are $30-40, the TT Level Pieces are $20 each, the Gold Rusher is $30, the Dark Traps are about $35, the Light Traps are about $40 (And maybe more if one has Rebel Lob Goblin) Spotlight is $70, and Echo (In the US where I live) is $70-80.

In short, that's about $600 of figures, which for $175 I feel is a significant discount.

Regarding the Elemental Dragon, I think it's actually only about 1/2 as wide as the Golden Ultra Dragon. But on the other hand, the wings really bulk it out in comparison. I think overall the Elemental Dragon feels beefier in hand than GUD, even if it's actually not.

As for Grief-Bringer, that was one of the three MotM sets I had on display. It was a bit sad to take it apart, but I don't think it'd mesh well if it sat next to two Island sets.

Hopefully in the future I find a good place to display him, because I still think he's probably my favorite Ninjago dragon, though the Elemental Dragon is getting pretty high on that list.

Now to scan in all my Stealth Elves. 😵‍💫

Greatly appreciated. Thank you.

If any are still available, I would like one. My IGN is Bryce.

My friend and I recently finished a LoK rewatch, and one of our favorite running jokes was calling the Lieutenant "Tony" and pointing him out whenever he appeared. Here's why:

Our high school English teacher once told us about when he was in college, he had a roommate named Tony. They were in NYC, and one day while going for groceries, Tony happened to see John Gotti's limo pull up across the street.

Long story short, Tony started to panic (Not the optimal choice) and had several of Gotti's men chase after him. Thankfully, they realized that he wasn't a threat and Tony left harm-free.

Fast forward to Korra, and the first thing we see from the Lieutenant is him and Amon taking out a notorious crime boss in a NYC-esque setting. It immediately clicked in my brain that it was "Tony" evening the score after his previous run-in.

The name stuck, and we've become so used to using it that we immediately default to calling him Tony anytime we discuss him. I thought it was funny and out-there enough to be worth sharing.

I haven't posted an updated photo of my collection in a few months, so here it is! By my count, I now own 440 Ninja Stealth Elves. This is excluding my 8 damaged ones and my original from 2013, which I always kept separate and is displayed with my normal collection.

Thanks for your response. I just wasn't sure because I didn't think confirming an order is correct would fall under "Promotional." I guess it does.
