I have a question for /toy/
Do you keep your rare toys in their boxes? I don't plan on reselling, but part of me wants to keep expensive ones in their boxes.
pic unrelated
Nope.
If I'm keeping a toy, it's opened, box tossed unless I like the art, which is rare, or it's the only way to safely store the thing, which is rarer still.

>Do you keep your rare toys in their boxes
No. I have a SOTA Fei Long that I was going to open, but then SHF made Bruce Lee and it's almost pointless now.
Just take my money Medicom!
I like 3d-ized pixel figures, too bad the only stuff I can find is this and random Minecraft stuff.
go wreck yourself

What does UDF stand for and how big are these?
What's /toy/s opinion on Pinkie Cooper?
I thought they were adorable. I bought one for my daughter and then couldn't find them at toy stores anymore. Thankfully they did end up at TJ Maxx/Marshall's, so I bought a few more at a fraction of the price. They're very well made, especially for their price. Are they discontinued now, though? That would be a shame. My daughter also really liked Novi Stars and those were discontinued as well.
>>5301058
They're very discontinued. You can still sometimes find them at places like Big Lots and Tuesday Morning, though.
>>5301065
Goodwill has em, I could''ve gotten all three but ended up getting just one, the rests old. They might get more later.
>"Hey anon, how was your day? I did you a favour and decided to get rid of those old childrens toys for you. I mean you had so many of them, its not like you needed them all right? I sold them at the local pawn shop, you I got 50 dollars for them, can you believe it?!"
I'm pretty sure somebody wouldn't be retarded enough not to google the value of things in this day and age.
>>5301048
You'd be surprised. I found a bag full of Lego outside an op shop that had just been abandoned there a few years back.

>Alright then, see you in court!
Hi /toy/, I normally don't go out of my house on Thanksgiving of Black Friday unless I'm going to work. My job being closed I'm not going out on Thanksgiving at all.
I just had a facebook argument with a young lady I work with who's planning on going shopping on Thanksgiving once the stores open up early.
I pointed out to her that this action will only help to one day push the idea that there's no need for businesses to be closed on Thanksgiving because the companies are losing too much money.
I got this in reply
"I'm going cause I want to go. If they don't want to work in a job that expects them to be there on that day they should go to school and get a better job."
It was at this point that I removed myself from the conversation. I was done. Such a heartless thing to say about total strangers.
I'm not and will never go shopping on Thanksgiving. I don't want to be responsible for some poor working mother having to give up a day that she could be spending at home with her family just so I can save money on toys.
10 years ago not a single store was open on Thanksgiving.
10 years from now, once Trump is in power and strengthens businesses, shopping on Thanksgiving will be legally required.
If you live in or near a major city, why the hell would you brave the battlefield of ThanksFriday?
Seriously, we've had knife-fight horror stories in past threads, tramplings, etc. The only reason the retail chains extend it into Thanksgiving is to try and spread out some of the madness rather than concentrate it at 8 AM Friday morning.
Even if one person decides not to go, many other people will be shopping on Thanksgiving. So then the thinking is "Why should I miss out on the best sales and then not even make a difference?"
Personally, I don't mind working on Thanksgiving, but I also don't do family stuff or anything. My workplace pays us 150% more than usual if we work on Thanksgiving and/or Black Friday so I usually end up taking the shifts of people who don't want to work those days too. Obviously not every workplace is like this, but just know that retail workers aren't being completely fucked over here.
>This toy is looked upon as being dangerous because of the radioactive material in the set, but Gilbert claims that none of the materials could conceivably prove dangerous.
>Came with Four Uranium-bearing ore samples, Alpha particles (Pb-210 and Po-210), Beta particles (Ru-106), Gamma rays (possibly Zn-65), Prospecting for Uranium — a book
Sets like this used to be cool as fuck. What happened!
>>5297719
You could create better science kits out of material and chemicals you can find at the hardware store rather than the stuff they sell in kits today.
>>5297719
Anything that could be dangerous is a no-no.

Gunpla/Plamo Secret Santa!
Sign ups run until December 4th. I'll try to have everyone paired up by December 6th.
Like last year, I'm going to have everyone fill out a Google form so I can collect the information easily.
Also, if you have some kits in your backlog that you are willing to part with feel free to email me a list and estimated values.
***Disclaimer***
If you want to enter with stuff in your backlog, that's fine, but please be aware I may not be able to pair you with someone who wants something you have to give away. If you cannot afford to purchase a new kit in case of that, please just hold off this year.

I don't think I posted this here. It's a wip.
How do you guys agitate paints that has been sitting for a while?
My tamiya gunmetal has seperated into 3 individual layers and the metal layer is especially stubborn to shaking.

how shitty are the Mcfarlane Walking Dead figures?
Early ones are complete garbage.
Newer ones are only mostly garbage. Too small to fit with 6 inchers, too tall for 3 3/4th. Articulation doesn't exist. I have comic Andrea and the only pose I can get her in is neutrally holding her rifle.
Joints are pretty ugly too, some are big white/clear dots.
The older ones were pretty shit. More recent ones are better but still not perfect. And they don't scale with shit.
>>5306481
disappointing to hear.
i wish NECA had the license. such a waste of good characters. fucking Mcfarlane.
can somebody tell me what exactly this toy is? i cannot find any markings on it and it looks too good to be a bootleg

wow, hasbro let them use their female buck because of how shit their idea was lol
>more articulation than Hasbro's females
>>5303630
>buck
You don't even know what it means you fucking idiot.
It actually looks pretty good. And the articulation does outdo MLs.
It seems like every time I read something about the Sailor Moon SHF, someone's complaining about at least one arm always coming off. I have Moon, so I can confirm that's the case with her, but do any of them not have this affliction?
Hey Usagi, can you come over here and give me a hand?
>>5290127
Mine are fine. Mars' pop off from time to time though. I have a bigger problem with the bows on their lower backs popping off.
>>5290127
I have Haruka and she's totally fine, no loose limbs or anything.
