From a surprise source, the Cobra Terror Drome.  And since I don't collect G.I. Joes anymore, it's up FS/FT.  Send offers for what you think it's worth.  I'm open to cash or games.  It's big, so be prepared to pay for a large shipping box.

There is some discoloration and it needs to be cleaned, but most of the pieces seem to be there.  The jet looks like it became a chew toy, unfortunately.  And there are few panels that have broken hinges.  But damn!  I would have loved this thing when I was a kid.

Picked this up the other day.  One of my favorites as a kid.

A childhood fave of mine as well; it was a double-whammy for a Transformers/Robotech fan such as myself. I played with that bad boy 'til he literally fell apart and the white plastic parts had yellowed. He had a pretty good amount of die-cast metal at a time when toys started the transition to all plastic. One of the most poseable TransFormers of its era, too, with solid ratcheting *click-click-click* joints in the knees, hips, and shoulders.

Same Here!!!! I still remember the Christmas I got this.

[MaterialHandlerMike]

Wow. Nice scores! @Techie tempted to make an offer on that Terrordrome

@HungryMoose That Jetfire looks amazing. I have a loose one, but mine has a bit of yellowing , and I only have about half of his accessories.

Impulse purchase:

Kre-O isn't that bad, but it sure as hell does not compare to the far superior Lego.

Still kind of a cool set though, for the $25 it cost me. Has a nifty little light-up feature as well:

My brother got all of these:
[img width=700 height=526]http://i.imgur.com/nhcU24v.jpg[/img]

he still has the Turtle Van, Shredder, Krang, Splinter, and Foot Soldier on Layaway.

Then picked these all up for $10.00.

A PS3 AND a blu-ray player?  But why Jim?  Why?!?

Gotta keep the PS3's laser in good condition, eh?

[Hungrymoose]

I sincerely think that's a misnomer.  As each unit is different, it's lifespan is different.  If you love your console and are not rough with it I think it will last the same length of time no matter what you do with it.  Only play games or watch movies too.  I'm still using the same original PS3 I got back in 2009 with no issues and I play PS3, PS1, DVD and Blu-rays in it.

[Zagnorch]

Funny the subject of Blu-Ray should be brought up, 'cuz I was thinking of buying a copy of a certain movie* after discovering this bad boy at the haunted Toys "R" Us:


[img width=341 height=576]http://i1273.photobucket.com/albums/y409/Zagnorch/robofig1_zpsfbd76751.jpg[/img]
*Just the first movie. And the second one... on closeout.


[img width=320 height=240]http://www.wearysloth.com/Gallery/ActorsN/38485-16148.jpg[/img]
"I bought that for ($1 x 24.99)1.0875!"


Well he sure can't shoot would-be rapists in the beanbag while trapped in that plastic prison, so...


[img width=666 height=610]http://i1273.photobucket.com/albums/y409/Zagnorch/robofig2_zpsd2db8f1a.jpg[/img]


Yeah, that's right: unlike some sociopathic freaks on this site I could mention, I like to free my toys from their boxes and display 'em loose, as they were meant to be displayed. And if you don't like it, then...





Oh yeah, that's the stuff:


[img width=579 height=543]http://i1273.photobucket.com/albums/y409/Zagnorch/robocopaf3_zps189461c5.jpg[/img]


Oh, and you gotta check out this awesome action feature-- just push the switch on the back of Robo's right thigh:


[img width=353 height=558]http://i1273.photobucket.com/albums/y409/Zagnorch/robofig5_zps46e080a0.jpg[/img]


Aaaaand...


[img width=368 height=534]http://i1273.photobucket.com/albums/y409/Zagnorch/robofig6_zps67d0cb61.jpg[/img]


So, whattaya think, Emil?





If only the MacFarlane action figure had had that feature back in the day. And I'm still waiting on the removable helmet. However, the guys at NECA did a pretty good sculpt of the nostrils:


[img width=452 height=448]http://i1273.photobucket.com/albums/y409/Zagnorch/robofig7_zps17d2a9e2.jpg[/img]
Look closely at the left nostril, and you'll make out a miniscule, finely detailed booger.


Now you're probably wondering what I did with the jetpack and cannon-arm attachment accessories. Well, I put 'em right where they belong:


[img width=511 height=478]http://i1273.photobucket.com/albums/y409/Zagnorch/robocopaf4_zpsdd283674.jpg[/img]


I'll be damned if I'm gonna hold onto anything that reminds me of RoboCop 3. 

Now when are they gonna come around to making a Clarence Boddicker action figure? Talk about a criminal act...

Lol I already had to change my laser and the whole drive in my ps3 so hence the blu ray player :-) good observation.

[GamerNick]

zag you crack me up haha that action figure is awesome!  And I totally agree with the robocop 3 statement!!

[MaterialHandlerMike]

Yeah, that's right: unlike some sociopathic freaks on this site I could mention, I like to free my toys from their boxes and display 'em loose

I will take "sociopathic freak" as a compliment! 

Seriously though, nice Murphy. The only thing that thing needs, is a nice scale ED-209.

Speaking of "sociapathic"....well actually I got nothing on that particular subject, but I do have a pretty decent toy score, due in the post this week, so stay tuned.
