I stopped ordering from there when my I ordered a case of 6 from them and half were slightly bent.

[usagent27]

Understandable but no reason for him to cancel my order and account when I asked him where my stuff was after 3 days

If you ever want to buy figures from Traci AKA "Imnot Traci" on Facebook. She's soooooooo legit.

I didn't know it was her you were dealing with. Haven't seen any problems with her. Glad you got it though!

Yeah, sorry, I should've clarified, lol

[SoundWave88]

Nice customs guys!! Good work on the blackwash LM.

Gerillus, glad you found the classic Sentinel...now time to troop/army build.

New waves are very sporadic. Now I know where the black/red Spider-Man and Falcon are comming from. (So I'll assume no Bag Head was in that wave if I found FF Spidey).

Got lucky today on ebay with Miles Morales for $15.50, yea me!!!! Need a Bag Head Spidey now. The rest, they will come with restocks and revision waves, if I rush on them now, I won't have anything to buy the next couple of months or so. Even here in H-town it gets to be a little expensive driving around this big ass city and comming home empty handed. Plus I want that Masterpiece Thundercracker and Optimus (TF fans where you at?)

Watching Goonies on TV. This, with the ONLY trilogy (Clerks 2), the original Star Wars saga marathon, its been nothing but childhood memories today.

Same. If I had gotten the bag-head, I would have probably purchased Kang. I'll patiently wait for retail or from FP, LM, or PP.

Best for photography too.

And that will work over a coat you already put on? To be honest all this info is overwhelming me (since I'm reading the last 6 pages or so at once and theres a lot of tips in em).

PM on the way.

Why do people keep saying ninja?

@LM: The grey hulk is pretty awesome, but I can't help but think it while it does look more realistic, the guy looks more like he was just in a really tough tussle more than he has proper shading. But honestly, I think thats why I like it so much. He just kicked some guys @#% and hes ready for more. I am seriously considering buying an extra and trying it just because he looks so cool.

I have most of the one box molded, mostly just armor plates, ski type goggles, some futuristic guns, and back packs, and maybe a certain set of twins. The second box is energy, lightning, ice effects, and a couple of dioramaesque display stands.

Here's a little peek at the Magneto set:




Fallen69lee04 hollowed out the helmet, and I modded a Quicksilver head for Magneto. I have the first set in right now, and I'll post pics of it either once it's done or tomorrow morning if I fall asleep first.

ah man that is lookn SIKKKKK!!!

for the fantomex love going on AWESOME!!!! just pure AWESOME!!!

just got home from work so im gona start on my custom thread in a bit so i can share WIP pics and finished work with my fellow arkers! maybe be an insparation to a few, i know ive been inspired by some of you guys my self, ahh the realm we call TOYARK!, just PURE AWESOMENESS!!!

it's a term usually used when someone sneaks in an answer to someone's question while you are already typing it or gets answered before you get to.

i.e. I totally thought someone was going to ninja me while answering this.

I don't use green stuff, I use Aves Apoxie Sculpt and Aves Fixit sculpt. I allow overnight for my stuff to cure, but it is "hard" well before then.

When I sculpt from scratch I use Sculpey clay, which needs to be baked to cure.

[shortysben]

Been way too long since I did a custom, love hawkeye, and had a vision to do this one. First ever time using green stuff and apply to sculpt anything...

Hair, arms bands, leg boot toppers were all apoxy...it was fun. I give you current outfit hawkeye!

I appreciate the good words. I'll keep an eye out

[Ninjinister]

Such a dry spell here... outside of the FF and Rhino comic packs, the only new stuff I've ever seen was at the LCS for double the price. "Pay to play" doesn't work when the rules are so heavily against me. I still haven't seen XvA packs.

Not that I can really afford a lot right now, lol. Still it'd be nice to see something on the shelves. And today at Fred Meyer, they had pretty much all of their toys on 40-50% clearance EXCEPT the eight collective columns of Avengers, Spidey, and MU that nobody's touched. Ugh. I feel if they would have clearanced that stuff I could at least start seeing new MUs.

It's weird I've never had a problem I used them for years I don't understand why their referred to as him I'm pretty sure it's not one person when I contacted them to add to or remove part of an order sometime the response is from a woman and they're pretty big they've been around for years with respect to other arkers until I have an issue I'll still use them

The owner's name is Corey and he does and will block you. Just google "corey stinson smalljoes" Check out the first result. He also hung around HissTank although I do not know if he's still active there or not since I hate the Joe part of that site (ironcially )

I know the feeling. I placed a pre-order with him, then later, asked him how much it'd be to add another figure and he just went ahead and added without the quote or anything. So I asked him to take it off the order...so he just cancelled the whole order, including the pre-order and deleted my account.

To top it off, I couldn't re-order at the same price anymore since he raised the prices since my original order. Luckily BBTS has the case coming out next month with the most recent two series so I ended up getting a better deal, but still.

Overwhelmed? No, the guy is just a terrible business person over @ Smalljoes.
