https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Px2BrUWbDqUI saw this really cool toy video, and wanted to share it here :3
>>11669768Kingdom Rhinox? That thing sucks regardless of the crappy leg transformation.
>>11669662>I just said they were vital ingredient to making a good transformer.Everyone can agree that Cybertron Optimus' Alt modes are shit, you can see his hands right there in the front and the flying mode is a joke, but it's still a very beloved toy
>>11667929any of the Bumblebee Movie Bumblebees and the Netflix Bumblebee tooling.
Hey, how many Goldbug figures have we gotten?
>>11668876neat
Which is the worst toy ever?
>>11668887kiddo detected
>>11668208Not this cutie
>>11668889I like him. I just wish his insignias were either removable or he had folding panels like Doubledealer to choose which side he's on. He's not even the worse deluxe from that wave. Shadow Striker looks nothing like the character (her vehicle mode looks nothing like RID Side Burn's either) and her arms are unable to move backwards.
>>11668240>very similar to a penis which almost beckons a small child to put the toy in their mouthomegakek
>>11669937this
Why did the CIA think making Osama bin laden dolls into a fusion of darth maul would be a good psyop to scare kids? It just makes him look cooler
>>11662445I feel like this wiki page has done more to convince me to be a schizo than anything else I've read on this site>>11662341they should have made a cartoon show that turns into a horror, that would have given those little shits nightmares for the next 15 years
It's kinda cool in theory but if your parents are already buying you Bin Laden toys I feel like you'd be raised with enough bias to not be effected by propaganda leaning in this direction.
>>11662445That page reads like a /pol/ greentext,, what the fuck?
>>11662445>According to The Washington Post, however, an anonymous source in China with "direct knowledge of the project" said that hundreds of the toys were created and shipped to Karachi, Pakistan in 2006.Let's see Pixel Dan go toy hunting in Karachi.
>>11662474crazy that this exists
Right now theres a cartoonishly crazy control freak, obsessed schizophrenic loser of a woman repeatedly making giga autistic demands at me to remove 3 words from my ebay listings title. Who tf does she think she is? WTF...??? Why even need or pretend to need words on my single listing altered? Block me or don't buy it if it is triggering your flipped brain? I want to piss her off as much as possible without getting penalized. What should i do? Ideas so far:>>say yes when its still there and if she keeps on, keep saying yes i did remove it>>say no, with some boomer agitating photo or emojis... wish i could send the plush doing the middle finger but I'd get suspended probably>>keep ignoring while listing more shit>>say youre not the boss of me now>>say stop telling me what to do mom/grandma!!!
>>11673172>>11673490Yup, some people are really this desperate for a piece of plastic. Hell I read some messages from autists who cannot wait 3 days for an item to be shipped.
>>11673494Plastic crack is addictive.Add the gambling/hoarding/shopping psychosis that eBay also feeds and you have a perfect storm of assholeness.
Not really a horror story but>buyer bundles two items together right before new years>take four days to send it because my local post office is on weird hours>in their feedback they mention that I took a while to post it when by default I have a weekDude your order was less than £10 fuck off
>>11674041I live in a small town. Large Metro area but small town. We do have four post offices within three KMs of where I live but they sometimes keep banker's hours compared to larger stations.I would just put that in your listing: if you buy before Friday, don't expect it to ship out before Monday. Assume two business days (or whatever you want to put) before it ships, and Friday and Saturdays are not considered business days. Etc.
>>11674041My local post office went through a phase of being open between 8AM to 3PM only, so only the unemployed and WfHs could ever use it. Four days sounds about right around New Years as well, customers forget private sellers aren’t Amazon.
2026 Predictions EditionPrevious thread: >>11654943What do you think we will be getting for the May & August waves next year?I'll start:>star destroyer microfighter with thrawn>wolfpack gunship>general grievous wheel bike remake>kamino set with shaak ti>play-scale millennium falcon with new lando fig>buildable figures and midis nobody wants
>>11673863I'm the anon with the 2006 Sail Barge, I want to slowly try and fully restore it.I am missing all the minifigs and a lot of the interior was stripped by my brat-self.
>>11673863>>11673983
>>11673682had this set as a kidit was pretty neat, a few years ago i scavenged it back together but i have no idea where i put the vapourator probably in the some storage bin somewhere
>>11673864honestly the pre rots era of lego is pretty similar to the post rots era until about 2008, and the minifigs were still essentially the same outside of the tcw sets until 2010ishthe 2009 echo base set still uses the original han face and smilies for the basic rebels, just in flesh instead of yellow
>>11673997They were similar I just have a special place in my heart for the attack of the clones sets and the OT sets of that era.
Recent DCMV Preorders just dropped:-Zatanna -Elongated Man-Blackhawk-Cosmic Boy-Professor PygRecent INART preorders:-INART The Dark Knight Rises Catwoman -INART Batman: Arkham Origins BatmanRecent Mezco Toyz One:12 Collective preorder:-Batman: Year OneQuestion: Suffering Day is now passed. Is Zatanna the end of your long road with DC Multiverse, or is there still more suffering you have laid for yourself left to come?
>>11674375Who are you talking to, schizo?
>>11674375its time to put jarret down
we have a box in the mail, brosis it the right zatanna with the black jacket? is it even a zatanna or did I get burned by a random chinaman?should I open it or just let it be a mystery? moment of truth, boys. this might be my last round on todd's wild ride.
ta daaaa:>>11674434>>11674434>>11674434
>>11674378>tldr>>11674422
Has there ever been a figure that got cancelled or remained unmade that made you genuinely seethe at a company before? I remember being extremely ticked off when spin master refused to make a 4-inch figure of the riddler for their the batman toyline even though he was the main villain of the movie. And low and behold the toyline rotted at shelves because all they made for it where catwoman and a penguin figure that didnt even look like collin ferrel.
>>11663965God those new jumanji movies suck
>>11669686>still like Mcfarlane
>>11669543>Remember when todd made gear of war staction shit?
>>11663358You voted for this
>>11673968I haven't voted in decades.
>loving a neat little new gimmick toy is bad because....it just is okkkk!!!!Why are r#dditors like this? The smart brick/smart play system from lego is awesome, did anyone see this video?Here:https://youtube.com/shorts/NXJlyDvnvHYThis is fire and I can't wait to buy the new sets, also the target demo is said to be 6-8 year olds, according to lego so why are manchildren seething so hard? This toy is awesome. I hope all themes get smart bricks. Why do they think it's cool to hate on something this awesome???
>>11669709someone said it in another thread: for a newfag at life, shit like that is always going to be new. Kids will be impressed.Personally, i grew out of wanting gimmicks in my toys when i turned 10. electronics always increase the price and toy companies includeless shit i actually care about: parts count, articulation, accessories, size, etc.In short, fuck gimmicks. They're always intrusive and basically exist just so a toy company can make 50-1000% more money despite the gimmick costing like 10¢ more per unit. Electronics are insanely cheap at a mass manufacturing level.Also, fuck modern cars, fridges, washing machines, and TVs.
>>11669495the internet now is mainly just people seeking to be outraged for any reason possible. Like theres an actual arguement that the smart brick isn't that desirable and will just pricehike sets, but so what? we can just ignore them and if it flops LEGO will just drop it like they've done with so many gimmicks.Lots of LEGO "fans" online are also insanely self conscious about collecting toys and has to really convince themselves that they're not toys they're "adult collectible models"meanwhile in real life no one gives a shit, my family has tons of lego models because we just like them.
>>11669495>troon doesn't want to fit into societysjyokker
>>11669532>The Smart Brick shows up like a brick-shaped reality check and suddenlyYou had Grok write this, didn't you?
>>11670747Shill-san, your efforts are in vain. Autists have a 20% propaganda resistance buff.
So HLJ is getting worse and JP shipping is getting out of control so I've decided to ship out my PW just to get it done before I have to start paying fees on them. Just asking if anyone has experience doing the same, did you bite the bullet and ship all at once or is it better to split them up?If you're wondering mix of mainly model kits, but also a few figures like figmas and nendos.And I guess anyone else pulling out of importing because of this?
>>11673091Maybe. I imported SHF Rei and paid like $85 total and got her early. US sites have her for $90 and still don't have her in stock. So importing was better because still a few bucks cheaper and earlier. However, I am looking at Figma Privaty who is $100 on BBTS and $85 on amiami. Importing her will cost more than buying from BBTS. I guess it's case by case. Kinda want to just switch to US because it will be less headache not having to worry about surprise charges or packages being opened or damaged or sketchy couriers stealing your shit. I wish Kappa Hobby had a pile of loot like BBTS and didn't make you pay upon ordering instead of when items came in stock because they have the best prices.
>>11673091Batch shipping is still cheaper but its way more expensive than it was 6 months ago, and of course most stores don't actually let you batch ship. The real wallet killer is stores like goodsmile who are filling out the paperwork correctly, I just paid $48 in tariff for 1 figure from them where I paid less than that for 3 figures from hlj.
>>11673112Why not ship to a mail forwarder's warehouse in some country that's not affected by tariffs? Many of them will hold your stuff for free for about a month and you can combine shipments from multiple stores into one. Buyee and the like can do this too but you'll be fucked by Japan's local 10% sales tax + tariffs, which is why I'm thinking it might be best to ship to another country first.
>>11673116there is no country that doesn't have tariffs for the u.s. it automatically starts at 10%
>>11673091me personally yes, I costed out what Snail Shell's Kitsunebi Senki Honoka would roughly cost from Amiami compared to my local store.for me, post the shipping and import taxes it would land at roughly 140 usd (I am not American so its not what you would pay) and locally they'd sell it for 150 with free shipping, and the local store is easier to work with in case of issues, so yeah local stores from now on, I'm only gonna use Mandarake and maybe Amiami for in stock second hand stuff from now on and even then that will be rare.
Looks like we're getting a MDLX Bass
>>11672373His saber looks way too small
>>11670522i think those figs flopped back in the day
>>11672373Vile, then maybe just maybe one of the boss mavericks.
>>11672814>heatman from mmbn2 who looks like a lighterTo be fair the original robot master is a lighter too.As for figures you'll have to look for really old stuff from 20 years ago, modern BN stuff is like all MegaMan and Roll, maybe Bass if you're luckyAs far as figures go, you'll have to look for really old ones from the time, but not a whole lot of navis got figures
>>11672373Command Mission X, Marino
Haven’t seen a proper Nerf General on /toy/ in a long time, so let’s bring it back.This is a thread for discussing modern Nerf and foam blasters: new releases, modding, performance, internals, darts, comparisons, and why Hasbro accidentally cooked again (or didn’t). A lot has changed since the last time these threads existed, and there have been way too many genuinely good blasters in the past few years to ignore.Post your loadouts, favorites, teardown pics, hot takes, thrift finds, and mod questions. Stock or modded, Hasbro or third-party, foam is foam.No airsoftNo gel blastersFoam onlyBe civil, stay on topic, and remember: it’s still toy guns
Worker Seagull, interchangeable springs and barrels. Very consistent and accurate with a BCAR. Only comes with a scar tho.
Venom Pro . Full-auto flywheel pistol doing ~150 FPS and ~7 dps 50 bucks off the shelf. Basically a poor man's Worker Nightingale you can buy at Target.
My current foam blaster armory. I lost interest for a little bit after the Nexus pros came out as did everyone else around here apparently but every company is shitting on nerf right now amd there are so many good blasters out on shelves right now.
XShot Longshot abs Fury X. 150 FPS, slamfire, bullpups. The shells are super sturdy and I got them on sale. Longshot was 18 dollars abd the Fury was 11 dollars on sale. These are so consistent and accurate even at retail they shit on all of hasbros catalog.
Lol I guess foam blasters fell off around here. Its a shame with how much they have improved since they were regularly discussed here

Just bought my brother Brutakka for his 21st. He’s got Axxon and it’s the only 2006 set he’s missing (aside from Umbra & promos)
>>11673200Your pic kinds reminds me of indigo anon. The amount of mocs posted in these threads is suprisingly low and I wish more anon would post their mocs too. Here's a vortixx moc I made too.
>>11673065Toa were pretty much designed to be the super soldier version of Glatorian, so on any obvious combat-related metric they're going to be better by default. Of course there might be more subtle advantages to having an augmented biological body and a natural mind as opposed to both being fully artificial, this has surely been discussed to death by some transhumanists somewhere.
>>11673446I need to actually build some MOCs. Haven't bothered in quite some time.
Its become clear to me there is a sect of terminally online autists whos lives have been taken over by the compulsive urge to constantly express their opinions regarding action figures despite not owning any. I have coined the term “fanboy” for this anon, as they bear multiple similarities to a sports fan. They love certain figures, hate others and empathetically assert themselves as a relevant opinion on subjects they have no personal experience in. I see them as an existential threat to the community and the entire toy industry as a whole. The fanboy, when made desperate will outright lie about owning toys they have never touched. They therefore are detrimental to us all as they spread false information throughout the entire web of the toy world. Moving forward, no opinion or statement on this board should be taken seriously without a photographic proof of the fact that they own the toy they are presenting an opinion on. This is the simple way we know your opinion is valid and you have “skin in the game” so to speak. Thank you for your time.
>>11672487>I don't seek you outYou literally do seek him out. You keep starting shit.
>>11672644>acts even more like a chick after being askedooof, maybe you're trans, given that you implied your autistic in the other thread.And i really don't care how you treat me, it's just the fact that the rest of /toy/ suffers from assholes like you shitting up countless threads over simple things like: Joytoy makes shit toys because they're brittle and have constant QC issues.And OP is absolutely correct that the best way to gatekeep you assholes is by making you take photographs of your toys, which you guys have constantly proven you don't own any. You guys just roam various threads, looking to start problems.Again, the WH40k General threads are the biggest example of non-fans and no-toys.It's not surprising most of you shits left the WH40k General once it started to die and shit the rest of the board up.pic is one of many reasons why the WH40k General is now a ghost town.
>>11672727Reminder that you unironically claimed there is nothing wrong with eating unidentifiable slop as part of one of your retarded food analogies when someone asked if a joint tightening liquid was reliable.>And OP is absolutely correct that the best way to gatekeep you assholes is by making you take photographs of your toys, which you guys have constantly proven you don't own any."Look, Tomoyo! Start recording, it's a faggot!"Now post models you repulsive gook.
maybe they just need a happy meal
>>11663731Unfortunately Diosoth does own a toyThe shitty cobra comander custom jin it criticized is the reason why he shits the board after a DECADE
How do you buy rare toys off of social media and not get scammed?
>>11670521There are some pieces of merchandise that are so rare they are not found via traditional avenues, e.g. ebay. You have to go and ask around on social media or forums for the item you want to buy and wait until someone shows up who is willing to take up your offer. Right now I'm looking for a dvd and book that is unlikely to show up on ebay anytime soon so I have to interact with people in the fandom I am a member of to buy what I want.
>>11670174>wait a week????>get figure for free
Use PayPal. It’s weird how it’s the only way to send payments and have purchase protection. Cashapp and Zelle need to have it.
how are you getting scammed in person?Do you live in a shithole and weigh 90lbs?
>>11670545Why not just go through life never having it? I've missed many toys because I truly dont want them at all
Remember that billy and mandy episode where billy was infatuated with a power rangers/dinosaucers combination parody and everyone called him a geeky faggot child for liking toys still? That episode hit really close to home hence why it was so fucking funny to mehttps://youtu.be/4sMS6ECEPhg
>>11672662I'm surprised that this episode isn't a subject of inspiration for customs or making your own
>>11673380Just realized I've always wanted the Action Mobile. an RC Bigfoot that could hold multiple figures.
>>11673425Tank Attack Daredevil would be a perfect base for it
>>11673426Same here. Im baffled that functional cockpits arent standard across all RC vehicles at this point. JADA could really stand to profit off that.
>>11673423Nice! I watched the episode too and the plot is very cute. I remember being hypnotised by it as a kid, maybe even scared at times. Watching it now I can see why, there is a very surreal aspect to it all because of the scale.
