teh "what did you buy today"-thread

[Necromancer]

Here's a shot of the Turbo/PCE section which was unfortunately sorely lacking and nuts expensive:

The prices may be high, but what stores are you shopping at that make these stacks look 'sorely lacking'?  That's a better selection of OBEY than any local place had 'round here, even 20 years ago.

They had quantity, sure. It was just the selection of titles that was lacking. No real standouts among the bunch from what I could see (even though my Japanese is a little rusty).

Was still a really cool store, though. The staff was pretty knowledgeable and really friendly.

This arrived today in the mail for me from me:)

That's awesome. Is that a new or old release? Where can I get one and not get raped on the price?

[Joe Redifer]

That's badass!

I thought that one looked pretty cool, but visually it just doesn't work too well with the original G-1 toys which is the stuff I really liked the most. The last Devastator G2 I had, I had that kit that added better legs to him and made him resemble the toon more. I never bothered to buy the forearm or head kits though, just seemed unnecessary.



Made his legs fairly poseable, and put him more in scale with the heftier combiners and larger bots.

I got this from toyarena, cheaper then what is going on eBay. There actually two devastator remake the maketoys green giant and Hercules. This is maketoys, I think it looka cooler and resemble more of the g1 version then the Hercules.

Turbokon that looks amazing, I have the the old 80's sears box set of him my grandma got me when I was a little punk, one of my favs.

Here is some new stuff for me.. Does anyone remember those cereal transfer things in the picture there? I found a stack of these and are the same ones i had when i was a kid. Press down with pencil on these things and they transfer anywhere

Presto magix!
I desperately search for a vintage cap'n crunch one which I am yet to find. Those are real, and they are spectacular.

Just got back from my trip to California. Visited Disney Land, SeaWorld, and Universal Studios. Had a Blast with the girlfriend. I also went to a few game shops in Anaheim and San Diego. Very disappointed in the turbo selection at these stores. Each Store had about 6 games. All common, and most loose, and over priced. But Here is what i managed to pick up during my vacation

[Flare65]

Some of my latest purchases.  The wife would kill me if she knew what I've spent.


The wife's cat decided to crash the picture since I wasn't giving her any attention.

I understand your disappointment, but this is the way it's always been on the TG secondary market.

Sweet, it really is a shame there aren't enough cats on the Internet.
