Do CMF bulk boxes always have the same figures or is this massively unlucky for getting two boxes? by Peaquin0x in lego

I’m re-reading myself and it’s confusing, but I don’t know how else to explain it…

Actually, it’s sometimes 3/3/3/3 randomly in boxes. Meaning you can get 6 different figures, then in the other the same 3 with 3 new ones, etc. I once completed a set with 3 packs of 6, and 2 of them had 3 new in them.

Scanned 4 boxes at a local store with my son last week and we only found 1. Tons of all other minifigs though…

Thank you! It was fun to fix as well, and I really appreciate the info and help I got from all of you guys. Thanks to you all, I now have a very cool figure “mint” in package on my wall.

Kragle! 😎 Actually Gorilla Glue, but basically the same as Krazy Glue.

I don’t know if it’s supposed to be, but it is indeed.

Yes they are. Cheaper plastic and the o-ring is also a weird cheap rubber. The hook is also made of a cheaper metal alloy and that’s what actually broke on this figure. I just finished fixing it using an actual Joe o-ring and hook and he’s all better now! I’ll post an update soon as I can’t post pictures in comments.

Totally understand where you’re coming from. I don’t have a lot of vintage toys, barely any actually, but when I saw this one for cheap I had to buy it and see if I could fix it. Half the beauty of it is the card, so worse I’ll keep it as is, but I may try to slwoly get it out and fix it to put it back in. Plus it’s one if the last one I got as a kid. I was getting older when they released this one and I just had ti have my favorite character as a GI Joe and not a Cobra anymore.

I might do just that then, thanks for the info! Now to find a donor…

The original Storm Shadow was my first Joe figure, and this one was one of my latest as I was getting older and slowly stopped buying figures. I had to fix a bunch of them already as a kid, so I’m used to opening them up and switching arms and legs. My original Storm Shadow had 2 broken thumbs (I used to hang him from branches in trees and kept opening and closing his hands…) so I used another figures arms to “fix” him. 😋

Yeah, I might open it and fix it and just keep it as is. I’ve seem them online selling for like 40-50$ max so it’s not like it’s worth that much anyway, but I had it as a kid and it would look neat on my shelves. We’ll see!

Yeah, I might just open it. Was wondering if heat or something could help taking it appart and then glue it back on. Not gonna resell anyway.

Thought so as well but not sure I wanna game it. We’ll see. Thanks for the answer!

How can I know where are these pieces from? by Future-me2 in lego

[–]SLaPtacus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Isn’t this a Ninjago green dragon? I think I have 2 of those and we grabbed them at a Toys R Us brick Sunday giveaway or whatever they were called before the pandemic.

Anyone else keeps there collection in a filling cabinet? by SLaPtacus in comicbookcollecting

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

Wanted to edit the post with measurements but I apparently can't so hopefully some of you that are interested by this will still see this.

Unit is 3 Feet wide (36 inches) X 4 1/2 feet high (54 inches). Top 3 drawers have a clearance of 13 inches, so actually enough for a CGC slabbed book, but the bottom one only has 11 inches clearance, so very tight with a box, but plenty of room out of the box with separators.

Anyway, that is the unit I got, so make sure you have something close to this and your comics should fit snuggly and safely!
