    Why so many German WWII figures ?

    Because - strictly from an aesthetic perspective - German forces were cooler and more stylish, I would hazard.

    Mars Toys 1/6 Prank Villain (Three versions of Cesar Romero's Joker)

    I just saw Justin’s review - didn’t even know this existed. Are there any plans for a Mars Toys Batman and Robin? Can’t find any info anywhere. I’m really tempted to get this, but it would be much better if I could have the main 2 alongside the Joker. I have to say I love the body. This is the...

    Stores that under-declare / under-value

    Lucky you then. Over here anything to do with taxes is the only thing that’s efficient.

    Stores that under-declare / under-value

    I don’t know about Norway, but in Belgium Customs can randomly ask you to send them a copy of the invoice, so they can check if the amount tallies with what is being declared on the shipment. They do it quite often, too.

    Hot Toys - TMS032 - The Mandalorian - 1/6th scale Dark Trooper Collectible Figure

    The ones I don’t preorder are always the ones that jump in price the most. With the assault trooper, lando and a couple of others, you see discounts everwywhere. Not with this guy.

    Hot Toys - 1/6 The Mandalorian Cobb Vanth

    It’s 370 euro from my local e-tailer. If these are gonna be the prices going forward, I wonder how many collectors have been priced out of this hobby literally overnight.

    How To Beat Collecting Addiction.

    Wildly off topic, but I just bought a pair of TCB 50s for that price (hemming included), which would have been a bit cheaper had I bought it directly from Japan. I’m used to buying figures directly from Japan, so I’m hoping it will work out a bit cheaper with clothes going forward as I’m really...

    How To Beat Collecting Addiction.

    For me it was starting a new addiction. It’s now clothes: Japanese denim, Japanese heritage brands and so on. I used to spend most of my time online browsing new toy releases, now I do that with jeans and jackets. And instead of buying 250 euro stormtroopers, I buy 250 euro jeans. It’s way more...

    All Things LEGOS a.k.a. Bricks Anonymous Group (BAG)

    In that case I’d better sell my MIB Town Hall and Fire Brigade while they’re still commanding good prices. I’ve opened most of the recent ones so far, and I love them all (maybe with the exception of Corner Garage), but I find the early ones like Town Hall, Emporium etc look too basic next to...

    S.H. Figuarts Star Wars

    As usual, those soft goods look terriblek even with all the futzing in the world. A total waste of resources plus they make the figure more expensive. Nice Luke though. Seems like a different team worked on the sculpt than whoever did Djin and Boba.

    1/6 Hot Toys - The Mandalorian: Transport Trooper Collectible Figure

    The Bill Burr character didn’t have an orange stripe on his uniform, sorry guys. Only Mando had one.

    1/6 Hot Toys - The Mandalorian: Transport Trooper Collectible Figure

    I imagine the shoulder armour is held in place with Velcro? I’m only asking because by the time Djin goes helmet-less, he has lost that piece of kit. So technically, to have a screen accurate helmet-less Mando, you’d need to remove the shoulder armour as well.

    1/6 Hot Toys - The Mandalorian: Transport Trooper Collectible Figure

    Now to see what it will look like with the future PP headsculpt! Figure turned out really well I think, glad I preordered.

    Hot Toys DX24 & DX25 Bespin Luke Skywalker (Regular and Exclusive versions)

    And the DX07 looks like the guy in those publicity shots, are we kidding? The new one isn’t perfect, but as far as likeness goes it is much, much closer.
