Hey @danlarson.bsky.social I know you’re a NH man. I’m up in VT for the week w the fam for vaca and was wondering if you had any recommendations for shops in the area that are worth checking out. We’re in the boonies in Ludlow.

What is the movie that came out before you were born that you've watched the most times? Parents saw it in theater while I was marinating, always jokingly attributed my love of Ghostbuster to that.

This is the one thing I’ve wanted out of Classified since the line began. It is whole. My final request is Astro Viper. Both vanilla and Star Brigade versions please.

Mezco Supercape is great. Fabric, wiring, S material. All top notch.

Fun. Do wish the classes scaled similarly, but they look cool and are fun so I don’t really care that much.

Both 100% fun. I’m becoming a Blokees fan. This one and IronMan have me SUPER excited for Hush Batman and Catwoman. They’re fun toys and scratch that Lego itch at the same time.

Got the Blokees and Mezco movie Supermans in today. Both fantastic. Aside from the Shooter McGavin edition and Hot Toy, I think I’ve gotten every affordable version.

youtu.be/KUybHRIYm20?... The end of Ninja Gaiden 4 still gives me goose bumps. Youve beat the game, credits start popping up while you’re playing, finally bright and lit on rooftops, fully powered up and just RIPPING through dudes with this shit pumping. Fucking love NG4.

I’m going to be pretty irked if/when Lanterns ends on a cliffhanger. Not that I hate cliffhangers, I hate that resolutions now come 2-3 years later, not a couple months.

Finally got a Scarecrow from the Batman Begins line. I absolutely love the Begins and Superman Returns lines. Even though they’re Mattel, they both seem like the end of the Kenner era.

Finally got around to reading after finding the first two issues while out of town. MAN it’s good. Actually has me interested in other PR teams aside from MMPR. Art and writing top notch, super fun, highly recommend.

I’ve got the “and Guns” part of a CAG set of anybody’s interested. Just looking for like a 5er for shipping. Hit me up if anyone seeing this is interested

Finally got a CAG set, and holy shit what a difference it makes. Batmissile is next.

I think “this is BS, inhumane, shouldn’t be like this, and is causing irreparable harm” is entirely compatible with “this is the way these companies work, makes sense in their view, and is going the way they see best.”

Some Kenner BTAS for #VintageToyTuesday. On a Batman kick after the Lego Batmissile. Got the two DUO weirdos super cheap OC local, and finally got a Catwoman while in Myrtle for anniversary. My self restraint w only getting Catwoman was legendary. They had a lot on my list.

I don’t like to complain, but I’m gonna complain. This takes all the fun out of collecting and is partly why I dropped off w Joes. NF S-E has been my #1 wanted figure since the line started. And it’s an exclusive. That sells out in 10 min. At 10am on a Friday.

Man, this thing was super fun. One of my favorite vehicles. If you ever wanted a Kenner Batmissile in Lego form, this is it. Wholeheartedly recommend.

020

Congratulations. It’s a potato. @bertmanning.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

Got the Batmobile, Batwing, and Batmissile. If Lego does the Batskiboat, I may shit myself.

Pretty nice grabs from our local comic show. Glad to have the purple Joker since GameStop sent me the Kenner colors.

As an unabashed Batmissile superfan, this thing is fun as hell and I’m still kind of shocked we got it. Also love it’s basically a Lego Kenner Returns Batmobile. Scale, function, everything. I’ll post more when I finish it.

Not seeing near enough (zero) love for Starfox Adventures on here after the Direct. Started playing as soon as I got home.

Been a hot minute since I did a #VintageToyTuesday. Currently working on the Lego Batmissle and brought this old girl out for comparison. Turns out they’re the exact same size. Also my favorite Batmobile toy. This is mine from 92, played with extensively, and still in really good shape.

I’ve been really digging these not Lego sets from Zuru. The piece count, quality, and price is really good. And they’re fun. Makes a pretty fun little “retro” Lego shelf.

After my dog ate the first one, this ended up being a $40 Cobra Commander

Finally going through Doom The Dark Ages and having a blast. I loved 2016 and Eternal, and Dark Ages is just as fun. I love the shield. The parry, melee, shoot combo is satisfying AF. Super fun and highly recommended.

As apprehensive as I originally was, GD these are fun. The most “Ninja Turtle” the Ninja Turtle toys have felt in a while. I’ll always love Playmates and fucking hate they’re losing the license, but this is a high note to go out on.

Man, I forgot how fun regular Lego is. I love the licensed stuff but man these are just fun.

Good couple days for nerd shit. Prob only S7 o-ring I’ll get, but he’s a doozy. After this, I need Hasbro to chill w the Ecto Glow. I’ve loved it, but I think we’re good now. And I love cheap Power Rangers toys.

So. Fun set! Especially for only $30. Biggest gripe is the arm bands. They used the existing molds for each. So Green has molded bands and the other two are painted. Why not just swap the upper arms and have old Green on Black and Red, and unbranded on Green? Did fix some helmet deco though.

Haven’t had a PSP in like 5 yrs, but if I find Ghostbusters on video I’m buying it. And found Party Reptile Leo complete in *really good shape for $20! Antique market day was good.

I’d like to reiterate how very very good The Ghost in the Shell is. It might overtake SAC as my favorite screen version.

Never had any Zords as a kid, just a few auto morphers and a branded Super Soaker. These things are super fun. Actually kicked me into getting the “old” Bandai ones off eBay.

Fun. I maintain Playmates is the best *toy* company around. I think a lot of folks have forgotten what toys actually are.
