And now, a few pics of my one divergence from 3 3/4" stuff. Here is my small and humble collection of Transformers.

Vintage GI (these are all from my childhood, so some are missing a few parts and some have a bit more play wear than others. Optimus Prime was my first Transformer ever, so he obviously bore the brunt of my play):

Sweet collection .. Those vintage TFS are awesome especially since they are from your childhood !! Unicron and the MP Transformers always awesome to look at as well .. very nice rounded collection you have there ..

What Darth Vader transformer is that ? Is it the death star ??

Yeah its the Death Star. It has all of these cool mini tie fighters and storm troopers that came with it and fit into little landing bays and cubbies all over it.

Awesome I just noticed the storm troopers In the leg !! I want one !!

100+ Joes in one Weekend
 

I decided to have a little fun this Memorial Day weekend and do something a little different.

Most of you who know me on Toyark know me as a moc collector. However most don't know the reasons why so many of my toys are moc. It's not really because I have illusions that any but a few of my toys will be worth big bucks some day. It's actually because I just haven't found the time to open them or the room to display them. Between work, family, and all the ups and downs of life, I have accumulated mountains of toys and never had any chance to open them and play around with them. I have piles and piles of boxes and I've got to start conserving space.

So, starting this weekend, many of my toys are on the road to freedom from their plastic prisons!

I decided to kick things off with a Memorial Day challenge. Condense this first stack (mostly Rise of Cobra, Pursuit of Cobra, and 30th Joes):

Into this:

A lofty goal I know.

So I started things off on Friday by pulling out the single pack figs and laying them out to see what I was dealing with:

I could see this was going to take some time so I got to work.

By the end of Friday I had the Renegades singles opened:

By the end of Saturday I had all of the POC and 30th singles opened:

I've still got the ROC singles, and then lots of multi-packs and vehicles still to go and only Sunday and Monday to do it in. I may not make it through in just one weekend...

Updates still to come...

That's pure awesome !!! I wish I were there too watch it all opened lol sweet collection of joes!!

Congratulations! If you're going to open a bunch of figures, starting with the POC line is a pretty awesome way to do it.

that life line is so awesome ..

Bust out a Zombie Viper- now that's a badass figure to break loose!

I have to agree on the zombie viper .. Those are choice !

This one goes out to Jason, Solo, and all you other Zombie Viper fans out there:

Now for Monday I've got these multi-packs. If I have time I may get to some vehicles as well.

Man that's a lot of joes .. I so regret not getting that roc monkey wrench .. He's the only nock I'm missing ... Sweet collection

And finally, here are the multi-packs opened:

All told I opened 118 figures. What a blast! And the best part of all is that, accessories aside, they don't even fill up two drawers on this little thing. In no time at all I will have plenty of room...for more toys...

Anyone need about 80 ridiculously large, spring loaded toy missile launchers with brightly colored, suspiciously shaped "missiles"???

Wow man .. Im jealous you have a bunch of joes im missing ... sweet always awesome having more room for toys ..

Here's a couple of quick crossover shots I took whilst messing around:

Love the recreated moments from the movie .. Quinjet does look cool

I've been meaning to ask you what these bases are from ... The ice one is awesome and so is the stone wall

Some of the bases I use are Christmas or Halloween decorations from Michaels Craft. Others are Warhammer terrain pieces.
