Found a spare empty box for my used Battle Cat and resealed it, even added the exact same type of elastic band around the helmet wrapped around in the exact same way the factory applied it to replicate that new look. Looks great and does the job at a fraction of the cost compared to if it was sealed new. 8)

Love the artwork on these boxes!

It was on ebay.com in auction, it actually had a slight tear from whoever originally opened it, on the front of the box on the left side next to the window, but I managed to stick it all back down with pritt stick and looks pretty good. Apart from that it was in real nice condition with the tear being the only bad thing about it, it even came with the original warranty slip inside it.

Cheers i'm really happy with it, just after a Panthor box now for that figure, but apparently they're even harder to find in good condition than the Battle cat boxes so i'll have a bit of a hunt on my hands. I suppose it makes it all part of the fun of collecting though.

Great Battle cat, looks the business in the case and great job resealing him, you're a man after my own heart with sourcing the correct elastic band ect, it's how I always went about my SW reseals.

Best of luck hunting down the Panthor box, it's always a bit of fun looking for things and I think we'd all get bored pretty quickly in this hobby if we stopped thinking of things that we need to look for.

Thanks, haha that damn elastic band, took me all day to find on ebay, I had to sift through hundreds of different ones. It had to be a specific colour, not too red not too pink but somewhere in between, flat shaped elastic which had to be a certain width, and long enough to wrap around the helmet enough times like the original but not too long so it's not wrapped around too many times, OCD is not the word. :lol:

The wait definitely is worth it, acquiring everything you want overnight there's no fun in that and iv'e found the more I buy in a shorter space of time the less appreciation I have for it all. Slow & steady and patience is the key, then when you do finally find that piece or accessory you've been waiting for in the condition you had in mind it makes it all worth it.

A few pictures of my Palisades Muppets collection figures - playsets are there too but obscured a bit on the bottom shelf by the plush's

 

[Palifan]

That's a great Muppets collection you have there, have you been a fan for a while?

Ian

 

[gammoguard]

Yeah since I was a kid so when this line came out many Endor moons ago it was something I had an immediate interest in. There's still a few bits to get my hands on but kids coming along have put a (temporary) hold on getting them.

 

[Palifan]

Always great to see what other toy lines interest members on here so thanks for sharing. Best of luck tracking down the few missing pieces as well, it's not a sprint with this collecting fun but always nice to get something to add every now and then.

Thanks, gotta be my favourite artwork out of any toy line, and with the gorgeous colourful MOTU logo really makes them special.

The artwork is amazing for MOTU. Have you watched 'By the Power of Greyskull on netflix? Really good.

I haven't watched that, I also haven't seen The Toys That Made Us either as I don't have Netflix, but iv'e been getting tempted lately to take out a free trial just to watch a couple of things like this which i'll most likely do before the year is finished.

That's a terrific collection! I wasn't familiar with these, but they look great. Thanks for sharing

Started a Commodore 64 game collection again, last time I collected was 2008 but sold up, so iv'e been gathering up a load of games again to complete a full run of all my childhood games. And what better way to do this than with a vintage 80's cassette storage drawer unit which just arrived today, looks cool I think along with a bit of modern tech, quite stylish. Makes me feel more at home ( back in the 80's where I wanna be ). :lol:

I have about another 30 games left to collect, mostly in small budget cases just like these ones and about 10 of the larger 'big box games'.

They are great. I picked up one from CE2 and hadnt seen them beofre. No idea that there were so many - I just have Uncle Deadly, Ghost and Yorick

and some classic games there subzero - nice!

Thought I'd share my latest Action Man pics - the boat ones are from this afternoon. a lovely day

 

[Palifan]

Great AM pictures as ever Spoons, always enjoy seeing these fellows out and about in the countryside

I love those Action Man photo's, really good.

 

[Snaketibe]

Fantastic photos, Andy! And I'm loving Action Man's pipe!

 

[spoons]

Thanks both, and Jeremy a bit of photoshop cheat the pipe

I was inspired by this great 60s photo

Ah, that makes more sense! I'm no Action Man expert, but whilst I was just about prepared to believe they might have made a pipe for an Action Man back in the 70's, I did think it rather unlikely! :lol:

It's a great recreation of the pic though

I watched it last night, it was amazing and very informative

Man did I love the Dreamcast, remember playing it all summer in 99, Power Stone was amazing and Crazy Taxi was super addictive.

I also remember buying House of The Dead 2 with the light gun in 2002 when the games were still in shops, I always used to go to a shop in town after work on Saturdays and trade in games for other ones to play ( all the games were quite cheap by that time ), had a lot of fun with that console.
