Trying to catch up on these again, since at one point I was only like 2 or 3 months behind, but then all of a sudden I'm like 10 months behind.
So, collection gets summary for December 2020
https://ryanlb.com/acqs-dec-2020.shtml…
A spare Steel Brigade Action Force to go with the Heavy Armor set releasing in Dec/Jan, and the new Mezco Deluxe Wolverine with all sorts of extras (total of 8 heads, so many hands, slash effect parts, and a light up battle damaged Sentinel base).
Probably sell most of the heads
BBTS POL box from the last 2-3 months: Mandalo Playing Cards, because I nearly cannot resist anything Mandalorian, Storm Shadow and Crimson Guard, and second Artemyss v2 for kit bashes…
Wow, Joe already responded, that was fucking fast.
He said it did screw up the shipping and he'll send a refund, so that's great.
Do wish I could have gotten Unknown Skull head. I foresee myself paying $35-ish for that on eBay. if I can find one, and it's that cheap.
Kinda pissed about the shipping cost fuck up, but I got one and they're all sold out now, so I guess that's okay.
but $135 sounded (kinda) reasonable and $150 definitely does not.
I would have waited for the standard release at that price, (I coulda bought 4 for that price-fck!)
if I estimate shipping on their site before checking out it said shipping would only be $25, and also that they don't ship to my address so what the hell?
oh, I sorta forgot about the sale for the Legions Con exclusives. The Unknown One was already sold out, but got the Fury Clan 2 pack...WHY THE FUCK DID THEY CHARGE ME $40 FOR SHIPPING AND I DIDN'T EVEN GET A CHANCE TO CHOOSE A SHIPPING METHOD OR CONFIRM THE TOTAL PRICE! WTF?
unlike (apparently) many others, I've really quite enjoyed phase 4 of MCU. I expected to like She-Hulk, but loved it. I wasn't sure I'd like Ms Marvel, but it was great, same with Spider-Man No Way Home. I LOVED Moon Knight, Shang-Chi, Multiverse of Madness. I mostly loved Loki.
oh hey, I get to go see Wakanda Forever tonight with Cousin Rish...and his nephew, and two of my daughters (and my third is upset I decided 10:45pm was too later for her to see it with us).
Opening night movies are getting expensive now that all three girls want to come with me.
I expected to be alone in the office today, but my boss is here, and brought 5 breakfast burritos thinking those in the office would cut them in half and share them. There haven't been more than two people here at the same time since Monday. So I guess I get burrito for lunch too
Sad to hear about Kevin Conroy's passing.
Like many, he was the defining voice Batman since I was a kid, and while maybe the Bale movies are objectively better, or 1989 Batman was my first real experience with Batman, Conroy's voices for Bruce and Batman are the real ones to me.
We're quickly approaching Tamashii Nations 2022, and in the lead up to the event I'm looking at my top five reveals from past events that never came to be! A fun, if somewhat frustrating look back at the toys that will likely never join your collection!

I saw this kitbash online, and thought, hey, I've got a spare set of Scaphoid bones and Vitus armor, so I put it together.
thought he needed shoulder armor, and Krotos' was handy and close enough to the red color, I rather like it.
I've probably posted this exact picture before, but who cares, it's (an improved version of) my first Mythic Legions kit bash, and will always be one of my favorites: Undead Black Knight!
skimming thru twitter, my eyes saw Hasbro and Bandai mentioned in the same tweet (maybe, idk, I didn't read it), and suddenly my mind was flooded with the idea of Hasbro doing a line of Grongi and Fangires, (or whatever your favorite Kamen Rider MOTW are) to display with Figuarts
so I either need a third Illythia, or to just buy an extra set of arms and legs. first option is ~$90 (but I'll have parts I could sell off), second is $40.
which option is better?
probably the second, actually.
I need a spare Lucretia head in order to display this permanently, and I'd like to, so now hunting for a second Lucretia.
I also want to put Illythia's bare arms and legs on a Vampire Legion Builder, cuz that looks cool (did it yesterday but apparently didn't take pictures).
well, i never decided if I should cancel Moon Knight, because I thought I had until the weekend, but Amazon shipped it out already so it will arrive next week.
Wtf is the point of buying a movie on iTunes if it just won’t play it?
I can play the bonus features, watch the trailer, but trying to play the movie and it just sits there spinning as though it’s loading.
OR, should I just try to pick up only the exclusive parts on eBay. Sure, I'll pay more than they're worth, but less hassle than fighting the hordes for the limited remaining figures on Friday?
I'm going to be getting the standard releases no matter what happens Friday.
Think there's any chance of getting the Legions Con version of The Unknown One this Friday?
Think can skip the Fury Clan, so that might make it easier. Except I've also just sorta talked myself into trying for that set too (just one, I can get the standard release later for more)
dammit, I think I want another (third) Illythia figure, for parts swapping. Buying another and selling off all the parts I don't need will probably work out to cheaper than buying the arms, legs, and torso parts that I want.
