>>11691291The only /toy/ archive I know of doesn’t teach back that far, but I’m talking 2010. Before your worthless ass got here. No one gave a fuck, the threads didn’t hit autosage, most of the people who came in just did so to call the figures happy meal toys and bitch about how they weren’t like Marvel Legends, which was a dead line at the time.So shut the fuck up, you don’t know what you’re talking about.
>>11691613*reach
>>11691613Brother, I've been on /toy/ since 2008. Back when it was 99% nostalgiatrash threads. I used to argue with Queen Kittan about toys being necessities in life and the government owed everyone a toy. Remember that autistic fuck? The MU threads WERE the Marvel General threads, because the MU line was the MAIN Marvel toyline back then. The Marvel General thread only got MORE popular LATER thanks to the fact that 4chan was still growing back then and the fact that imports started making their own Marvel lines. I vaguely remember someone trying to make the MU thread seperate, but i think that only happened later when the Marvel Legends line was brought back.And i think the Marvel General was any more popular than it ever was than during the Iron Man 2 release, thanks to there being 234098 different Marvel figures at a single time.Can you believe there were EIGHT fucking waves within a year's time just for Iron Man 2? Plus the standard MU waves? PLUS Comic Packs? Plus Spiderman shit? PLUS the odd 6" figure? It was pretty wild, especially since people were actually posting their own photos back then and there was a sense of community still. So back then, nearly every post counted instead of being "WHOA NEW FIGURE ANNOUNCED! WOW IT LOOK AMAZING"x30 and east vs west console wars
>>11692382I don’t recall there being a Marvel gen at the time, just stuff like pic related making the board lose its shit and having threads. There wasn’t a lot coming out to really necessitate a general. I made the MU Generals mostly as a reflection of Kamen Rider General. That silver centurion in your pic was a really awesome figure, incidentally. /toy/ was a lot better back then, way more users for sure.
>>116926882010 is when everyone started wanting any topic to have its own General thanks to Transfags getting their own and shitposters throwing a fit if they saw any single figure from another topic get its own Thread.If you were making a MU General and it was unpopular, it's likely because there was a Marvel General already or maybe you were making the MU GEneral in 2009 when the MU line WAS unpopular, thanks to the toys being pretty lame still and everyone still wanting the Marvel Legends line.By 2010, the 1:18 movie lines were so fucking amazing everyone started byuing 1:18 and the MU line got engineering improvements. It was a very exciting time to be a Marvel fan.
What's toy shopping like in Vancouver, BC? Just looking for anything the US doesnt have. I assume ill only see what's near the airport train stations, but sadly no time for the remaining Toys R Us which is nearly 30mi away.
>>11679924post your haul
Ages 3 and Up in Burnaby and Coquitlam and Toy Traders in Langley. All 3 stores are great.
rip willowbrooks toys r us. used to go there all the time. i only know smaller places by langley/surrey. i suggest “everything but diamonds” and “randys game shop” side by side in langley. that whole area has great lil stores!! also rip crazy bobs
I kinda wanna check out Toy Traders, but I saw them selling a built Lego Concorde for $400..I guess you're paying him for having built it since its still available everywhere for 260.
>>11679924>>11679924There's Ages Thee and Up, they have two locations. Either one is fine. They're largely domestic action figures with a smattering of imports for wild prices.Hobby Bee is another. This one is my favourite, but it entirely deals in imports. Statues, action figures, gunpla.Toyka Collectibles is a decent one in Richmond, with J-Toys Collectibles nearby. The former has a smaller selection, but they get stuff that the other stores don't. For example, they're the only ones I find to get the Storm Arena figures.Then there's Sakura Media in Metropolis by Metrotown. They also opened a location downtown recently. Mostly gunpla, model kits, and statues with the smallest selection of action figures.P-Rex Hobby exists, but I believe they're pickup only, with locations in Richmond and North Van. Prices for them are the highest in the Vancouver area, but their selection is also extensive.

>>11684515You don't have to build a cabin. I had a few sets that my dad picked up from a yard sale and I would build walls, garages and two story buildings. Often would use toy guns or canons to shoot at them and knock them down too or use them to play with my other toys.
>>11684515I used to make multi-room structures with doorways and a multi-floor watchtower rising out of the center. You can get pretty creative with them, I'd stage green army man wars in the little towns I'd build.
>>11683336this is the simplest thing I guarantee you if you gave kids any toys they wanted and space and other kids to lay with, they would take toys even over video games. But space and money are limited.

I regret not buying the UCS AT-AT
>>11699149I do too. Sometimes I think I'm actually really shallow and all my problems could be solved with more money.
>>11699149It’s a cool set. However. It’s just too big. Unless you have a space in your house that would normally be dedicated to a statue, it doesn’t make sense to own.
I can finally say the gunship is done, sure there’s a few colors that don’t belong, and has mismatched windscreens and bubble turrets, but I think it looks awesome. And I love that I was able to build it from my parts that I have in my collection

>>11693584Ah, guess I’ll probably be out of luck then as I don’t really use IG, plus looks like their shipping to the UK is pretty high even for just a tiny hair sculpt so I’m not confident how much it would be trying to get a whole kit shipped. Still though, it looks pretty damn cool.

>>11694399I got these primarily for the vehicles; always on the lookout for more variety and specialized stuff and this doesn't disappoint with an SPG and AT missile spammer, giving the Tans some badly-needed support units for their tank rushes. It is interesting that the soldiers don't get any vehicles themselves, if you go by Colour Wars rules anyway.
>>11694415The AT spammer has a nice turret with both traverse and elevation; unfortunately the SPG's cannon is fixed in place though it can traverse, so a little imagination is required for long-range bombardment. The barbed wire pieces are a little unusual in that they're provided with pegs and holes to be attached together at right angles.
>>11694418The soldiers themselves aren't a new set - back when TRU was still cool and had army men there was a line of sets called Soldier Force that consisted of these poses, mostly in green but the largest set also had grey. That set also had one of the tanks included in this new set (the one at the back; the front one has the same hull but a different turret). Soldier Force pose count was fixed at identical numbers of every pose; this new set has followed Timmee's system by having a fixed asymmetrical pose count - the officer and heavy weapons units all having half the number of the regular riflemen.
>>11694422They're at a slightly smaller scale than average 1/35 soldiers, compared here with their Soldier Force ancestors. The plastic used is different and some of the newer poses required a little sprue-mark trimming from their bases to keep them from toppling over but overall they're a good reproduction of the earlier soldiers.
>>11694426The other set on the way is air and naval-focused but includes the same soldiers.

I bought a motorcycle that looks like a generic 1970s Harley so it's timeless and will work with 1/10, 1/12 and maybe 5/5.5 figures.I just invested in a bunch of old used LEGO kits and plan to buy some of the mechs for Marvel, DC and SW - maybe others. I'll have plenty of blocks to come up with shit. Ideas would be easy to find and "steal" on-line.

I am 20 years old, I mostly collect Pokemon and other Nintendo statues/figures etc. I was on YouTube when this video popped up. I thought it was charming and cute about how toys were made in the 1980s back when people and not machine created toys.
Here’s the link. All the good stuff starts at 20 min mark. I think the dinosaurs look like Zoids? Were Zoids around in the 1980s?https://youtu.be/uLDoKgFw9RI?si=X0uOR3o9ObxqCZNI
>>11689098Zoids originated as Robostrux in 1983/1984, then rebranded as Zoids a year later. They had a brief re-launch around 1993 which failed, then had a big comeback in Japan around 1998. That eventually trickled into the US market around 2004.
>>11689095I think painting and decals are still mostly a hand made process. The shapes of figures are probably all injection molding by machines.
>>11689098Ah, thanks man. I didn't know what to search for when I mentioned the movie earlier in the thread. This is good stuff man. Grab the old lady and the kids and watch this together.
>>11689360I’m gonna be honest I can’t imagine doing that eight hours a day over and over I mean, you would have to listen to music or something
I feel like i could save mega construx i would appeal to eastern markets by having a line based on shonen manga like fire force or JJKFor production i think they could slightly upscale the figures and diversify the body types I would want higher resolution faces which will cost more money but it will need to actually look good
>>11684874Funko: Less quantity and more quality. Stick to their strengths instead of trying new things constantly.Jakks Pacific: Make new figures in general, and include some characters that are less popular but still well known. Do this for both Sonic and Mario, and push back with sales numbers to show those releases will be fine (probably more of an issue at Nintendo if I were to guess). And re-release harder to find figures on occasions.
>>11684874To save Mega Construx, you would have to travel back in time and prevent Mega Brands from making three major blunders. One, decline to make the "My Life As..." building sets for Walmart. Two, don't bring Mega Bloks MagNext to market. Three, don't acquire RoseArt. The combination of all three poor decisions placed Mega Brands in a financially vulnerable position, leaving them open to a takeover by Mattel. I don't know that there is anything left to save now that Mattel has shifted to Mattel Brick Shop.
>>11684874I'd change Hasbro and get them to avoid using those shitty Y-hips in everything and try to get them to stick to either barbell or T-hip joints. It's seriously why I passed on so many Marvel and Star Wars figures over the years.
>>11685026Based.
