Anyone here collect toys/Action Figures?

bulldoggamer · Apr 12, 2015

This thread is great. I ran our booth at Steel City Con this weekend, it's the only action figure/comic-centric con that I do. This is the first year I didn't purchase anything. It just wasn't there for me this year, and I didn't want to buy something just to add it to the pile. As it is, I don't even know what to do with the rest I accumulated the past 10+ years.

That MJ is awesome--and I'm not even a fan of MJ or basketball

WTF 30th Metroplex for $10. I'll pay you $20 for it.

Those were some of the worst TF toys back when...stiff as a board and zero fun to play with (actually...G1 TF toys really weren't fun to play with at all now that I think of it)...

Yes I cam to this realisation just recently... that most of the original toys are really bad. Many many bricks.

I hate you, I want that Metroplex so badly.

OMFG Metroplex TRU!!! 50 shipped, pronto!

I went to Goodwill today. Saw this big Transformers box across the store. It was the 2ft tall 30th Anniversary TF Generations Metroplex. The box was opened and re-taped and it had a cut on the front. Was only $9.99. Figured I'd take a chance. Got home, opened it and it's still freaking new in the box!

Great find. I paid full price for that figure and still felt like I got a good value. It's amazing.

Found out there's one piece missing from my Metroplex. Scamper's gun. He's suppose to have a little red gun that he can hold or goes on top of him in car form. I didn't see it anywhere in the box. Oh well. It was still a crazy deal.

Picked these up in Japan

Wanted the young Joseph for quite some time.

Also they actually made action figures based on the Super Mario Bros. movie. 20k yen in Nakano if anybody's interested :keke:

Awesome! About what do these JJBA figures sell for in Japan, if you don't mind me asking? Are they very expensive?

Also - that Jumpstarter Twin Twist Transformer - totally remember that from when I was a kid. It might be in my parent's attic somewhere

Me, too. Do they have Caesar and Lisa Lisa, too?

More or less the same as Figmas. Special verisons go for quite a bit more (Wonfes young Joseph was twice as much for example)

I think I saw a Ceasar in Mandarake Akihabara. They also had a Kars. Doesn't look like Lisa Lisa got a figure yet.
Jonathan is getting a release this month.

It is a mistake but it isn't worth much. Value is the same on each.... $10-20. The reason is because the Jumpstarters were overproduced, so it isn't really clear how rare the error box is. I would consider it uncommon but not necessarily rare, only because it is only known to "hardcore" collectors. Unlike "retro" video games or amiibos, printing/manufacturing errors do not bring a premium to Transformers.

The KO behind the box on the left is worth 10x+ what either of those are.

Damn that Metroplex deal, awesome! Goodwill is 100% garbage for me every time I go, not to mention the smell and depression that comes along with the visit.

Sometimes you can find some cool old electronics there. That's where I got my CD changer! But its rare to find anything all that good.

That Killer Queen is sick. I need to start getting some figure's, but a lot of the ones I want are mad expensive now, like Gyro Zeppeli on his horse is $200+ on Ebay :/

The only thing I thought when I saw the photo was how the fuck did they steal the toy out of the plastic bubble after it was professionally graded?!!

How many times have you owned that Vlix?

I really want this one.

I swear I was thinking the 3A Rex before I clicked that. The big Rex they did is amazing.

How many exist?

Theres alot more than once though, over 30 have been graded plus theres quite a few ungraded ones about, the weapon is alot harder to find than the figure with most being graded without the weapon.

My Metal Gear Ray arrived from BBTS. Had no idea it was going to be this massive. Will post follow up pics once I open it. I also just ordered the SV-001 from HLJ. About $100 cheaper there than BBTS. https://www.hlj.com/product/DAK37146/Fig
