is there an R/C general? because there should be. post ur stuff!

Kyosho Inferno VE Race Spec.Currently ESCless.
>>11300701Neat little car.Also, convince me why not to buy an RC rocket glider. I fly from a local park.
>>11284518What would be a good all in one starter kit like the OP pic for someone that's never dipped their toes into this hobby? I'd like to try it out and putting a car together seems fun, I just don't know where to start.
>>11301154Would you want something to put your toys in and drive around for photos? Something to race like OP's? Something to bash and jump like a 1/8th or 1/5th? There's so many options these days you're spoiled for choice.
OH NO NO NOhttps://toybook.com/joann-files-chapter-11-less-than-a-year-after-emerging-from-bankruptcy/>Diamond dead>Hasbroke most likely dead>Joann, a distributor who also does toys and games, dies againJanuary is one hell of a month already
>>11298472Getting really tired of living in the downfall timeline where I only see who died, what went out of business and what thing we no longer have that people used to have.
>>11298503Estate sales.
>>11298503>>11299378The only stores that I can think of that sell fabric are Hobby Lobby and, depending on the store, Wal-mart. So, probably them.
>>11298472I went into a Joann fabrics a few times last year because I heard they sold Mario figures. They did, but it was all older waves. The store was really just unpleasant to be in imo. It felt very strerile like Walmart, like you just want to get out of there. I also noticed a lot of their place was disorganized in one store. The aisles felt very random and didn't make much sense in the order they went. Maybe that was just a bad store I went into.>>11298472A lot of Gamestops are closing/have closed too.>>11300439Michaels as well. I think there's another big chain I'm forgetting about.
>>11298498That's what I was thinking when I read this. I go there when I need emergency fabric (they've been going downhill for years and the prices and quality of the fabric they carry aren't worth making it your main spot) and I never even noticed the toys.
>Does nothing>wins
They have zero competition
>>11300111Not sure what they won and haven't bought anything from them since I was a kid, but I do remember I had this badass dragon of theirs when I was a kid.
>>11300653There's still Safari Limited.
>>11301448Safari Ltd. is so cool too.It was either Schleic or Safar Ltd. who made this really awesome dragon figure recently. I would buy more of these but the price always turns me away.
>>11301727I want to see either one of them do kaiju stuff. Even if it's off brand. Who own's Monsterpocalypse now?
don't know if this board can help me or not, but can anyone identify this toy accessory? its got to be from the 90s, probably a tmnt toy? the two parts on the bottom each have a slot for a spring loaded missile and the button in the center presumably shoots them.
>>11299647Also came with a water world fifure
>>11299658Waterworld one looks similar, but is a different mold.Unless there's another one I don't know about.
>>11299641>>11299646Best springloaded missile launcher ever. I still have mine but not the predator it originally came with. I just give it to my cracked tusk. Firing a spear bola at other action figures is pretty tight.
>>11299641Alan Grant has one of those too.
You can just get one from the gashapon, but itll cost around 30 bucks
>>11294924Are you serious? No. You just suck at searching.
>>11300129How do you make it stick to the arm? Hotglue?
>>11300140just double sided tape, can put it on anything with a small enough arm.
>>11300140How does cum make it stick?
I'm about done with my Lego Movie display. Benny needs his jetpack but other than that I'm finished! You guys like it?
>>11284413Metalbeard was the best set. Cool of them to do a mech character. I myself gave him feet though
>>11284399>Unikitty on the casting couchUh oh
The Metalbeard set isn't movie accurate.There's tutorials on how to fix it
>>11284397Jetpack
>>11284396Need Wild West Lucy.
Its weird being a toy collector and knowing minimalist. The two uses of space are so apposed. I have a friend that is probably a minimalist and sometimes she kind of goes off the rails. Like I gave the kids socks, shirts and each a monster high doll. She's and the children have been really greatful about it, sending me pictures of the kids unrapping the gifts and a little hand written note from the kids about what they like about the dolls. Today however, she made the off handed comment to not send clothes next year as they had to throw away some clothes to make room. And to not give them an ornament next year as they had to throw away some to make room. Guys, there home looks like a magazine catalog page. Or like something from a cooking show. They dont own anything. There are a dozen other examples of obsessive behavior like vacuuming every day. Folding clothes two or three times. Alphabetizing all closets. etc. I really can't imagine living like that. At the very least I'd donated some clothes if my kids had too many.
>>11300772whoa you didn't like bw2? I think they're the best games in the series
>>11298009my dad is a hoarder so after growing up in that any form of clutter in my space really stresses me out. things have to be in a certain place.
>>11300781Funny how this cycles. My mom is probably a hoarder and it comes from trauma of her mother letting her younger cousins have access to her room while she was at school and they destroyed all her belongings. Like she came home at her things were in the yard and broken. It caused her this deep sense of betrayal and now she won't let go of anything. My sister on the other hand owns nothing and waste lots of money on trips and food. She'd probably be the sort to trash her kids things if she became and adult.Just cycle backs and forth, one causing trauma to the other.
The thought of some of these old items going to someone who will appreciate them was a decent motivator after actually taking that first step to selling. Getting back a bit of money and getting some space to use was nice of course but passing some stuff on to someone else in person who was happy to get them was oddly satisfying.
>>11301256Yes, that is usally the best outcome. Helping someone else find a treasure is great. A toy that you think is cool might be someone else's favorite.
guys, i can't stop buying vintage lego sets from my childhoodi make a good income (130k a year), but i'm pretty cheap, like i won't spend $25 on a steam game because it's too muchbut $250 for a megacore magnetizer? zero problem at all, infact it seems perfectly reasonablei do see an end in sight, simply because only a few themes appeal to me, and i'm only interested in sets from the mid 80's to early 90'sbut if i'm being honest with myself, i think i'm actually buying them for my son, who doesn't yet exist...need to find a wife firstbut i want him to have a good childhood, and i'm not sure that's possible with the toys that exist today
I really hope series 28 has no "i must buy all of it because...!" figure, im sick of arriving at a fresh box and some nigga has taken them all allready, either storeworker or customer.
>>11284564Clutch power is arbitrary, it's not like you're building something to construction code. Also old pieces are still susceptible to breakage because that's just how it is. Either way, you still have budget choices via briklink
>>11284587no, you can see a zoomer here who was clearly impacted by the decline of lego...>>11269549
>>11284244Buy them for you, very much doubt your kids will care less about old toys
>>11284244you're fine calm down
If Elon doesn't by Hasbro and Hasbro goes under, is Transformers over as we know it?
>>11300687Bruh you're talking to yourself lol
>>11290605If Elon doesn’t what by hasbro? Fucking ESL piece of shit.
>>11300757>ESLHe's an Afrikaner of Bong descent, not Dutch Boer... English *is* his first language. LMAO>>11300694Shut up this is funny as hell, Cocks is showing us a masterclass in fooling shareholders
>>11300880You cackling to yourself like a retard isn't as funny as you think it is.
>>11300880>ESL rambling nonsense
>>11285734
>>11285734Definition of a 5 out of 10, extremely forgettable. Not a fan of the asymmetrical half skirt thing, in general, either.
>>11292998What did you give it 5 for then?
>>112930185 is average, average is forgettable, another face in the crowd. It's not ugly so I wouldn't go lower that that though.
>>11286901
Does anyone own any of these? I’m kinda tempted to pick up the main trio, Zeus, Hades, and Poseidon. They look pretty good for the most part, but they’re kinda pricey so I wanna make sure someone else can vouch for them. Post pics of them too if you do have them.
>>11296576Hmm I wonder why they went with the small head route, it does look a little strange
>>11296581He's meant to be a bigger imposing figure when posed with "true 6 inch" scale figure like the import figures (Mafex, Figma, Figuarts). See pic related. Western figures like Marvel Legends and Mythic Legions just come with disproportionately big retarded head (e.g., the infamous Headdie Venom). Zeus came with pretty cool and unique accessories, especially the thunder smiting lance that I stole for my knights to they can pretend to be Dark Souls knight doing Lightning Spear spell. I'm not a berserker salesman or anything, obviously he's not my favorite figure ever as he is currently in storage, but I'm kinda glad to have him and I hope to have him out for shelf rotation sometimes...
>>11296586Ah I guess it looks more normal there. My main worry is that I’ll pick them up and then the next figura obscura is Greek gods or something and I know they’d probably do it better.
>>11296596It is just different artsyle. Berserker Zeus has more peachy anime skintone while 4H stuff has brownish Frazetta skintone. In my mind, he's an "anime" figure and belong next to my Fate Figmas. IMO the armors, etc. are also too "high" fantasy and too intricate compared to Mythic Legions. If you want a Mythic Legions style Zeus there are enough 3d party parts out there to cobble together some kind of a custom figure
I have Zeus and Poseidon. They’re neat, but the armor pieces are floaty and don’t stay in place well. I also can’t get Zeus to hold his lightning bolt properly but that may just be a me issue. Didn’t know they released Hades, not sure if I will get him.
So what's the trick? I want to get a cute plush for my sister.
>>11293377The plushies are usually packed in too tightly for you to ever actually win anything. Go to Round 1 if you want a legit chance at winning anything from a claw machine.
throw a rock at the glass and grab what falls out
BUMP
bump
>>11293377Here is some advice, find your angles, keep in mind some claw machines have warped glass which make it more difficult to get you angles right. Remember the claw will rotate and swing, they tend to swing about an inch or so while lowering and the rotation can cause the claws to land in the wrong spot on the prize. Like any "chance" game, it's on a payout rate, usually between 5 to 20 plays. Once you are able to track the machine's quirks and payout rate, you should be able to win nearly anything from them, but it will take time. Included is an image of some Squishmallows I won for my kiddos.
>removable helmets>working weapon holsters
>>11296661>>11297845So you're talking about G.I. Joe Classified I see. Most figures are designed to stow all their gear and some of em come with a lot of gear to stow. Also the helmets all fit perfect on figures heads without scuffing paint or looking awful, even hats can swap into place with removable hair pieces. >>11298824I know Snailshell include bases that actually double as storage, but I can't think of any figure who can store stuff like alt hands and heads on the figure itself.
>>11298841I may or not have been looking at some reviews of them lately
>>11298841>I can't think of any figure who can store stuff like alt hands and heads on the figure itself.
>>11296661Sculpts that break from the norm but are still fun.
>>11298134is that a revoltech?
What’s your guys thoughts on Toy story and online the line started in 2001 and ended in 2008. There were a lot of really cool and really strange things release during this line. Your thoughts?
>>11299299Sounds really based though, toy story is extra shit
Someone's ban expired
>>11299683seems like it>>11299299Keep your eye on the japanese. They're just about the only ones putting in any elbow grease these days
>>11299760>>11299683More like evaded
>>11299760I wish third party Chinese did accurate Woody already even if they have to use AI to make cleaner voice lines.
a thread for four legged friends. animals, robots, aliens etc. preferably animals but I'm not picky.
>>11290220D-arts. for $25 you got him AND a posable Rush. Same sort of deal you get with Bass and Treble. This was a decade ago
>>11290192Only 4 are fully articulated but here are all my quads.
Hasbro made a Displacer Beast for the Dungeons & Dragons movie that's pretty fucking sick.
>>11292793>quadrupedal toys>posts 6 legged dudehe gets a pass just because he looks sick>>11290192just look at BeastBox there's dozens of 4 legged animals there
>>11290192Is there a Rush figure that can do this pose?
