Nice work Mfoga... with six figures left you're certainly in the home stretch

Love the finished sig Waller... looks badass

But hey. What I have left is cheaper than a few Hot Toys figures.

yea, and if you stack 4 on top on each other that is about the size of a hot toys figure.............

there's always a way to justify things waller.............

And I did recently cancel about $1500 worth of preorders.

Where's all my vintage friends this Friday afternoon? I don't want to work.

I'm here... just finished working out.

 

[Darth Waller]

No, I just work out with my boss at lunch... I feel like my arms are about to fall off.

I really need to work out. I was doing a couple miles a day on my stationary bike before SDCC and vacation, but haven't done crap since I got back.

I've been pretty good for the last three months or so, working out at least four times a week, if not five. I'd like to drop about 20 lbs.

I would love to get back to my high school weight, but I think that'll never happen. So I'll shoot for wedding weight.

You know, I think I talked about this to a couple guys over on RS, but the couple vintage figures I opened were Skiff Lando and a removable limbs 3PO. The Lando had this clear shiny layer all over him even though it was from a sealed card. Makes you wonder just how safe some of the MOC figures really are... I also wonder if after so many years, say another 15-20, if the glue on the bubbles will even still stick to the card?

There's no way I'll EVER be at my high school weight again... Wedding weight would be perfect though!

You don't look like you have much that you could even loose, dude! Just cut back on the beer.

BTW, I picked up a 6 pack of Guinness Black Lager last night. Have you seen it? I was unimpressed.

The way some of these figures have been stored in attics and basements, there's no doubt the tape and glue is going to weaken on quite a few of them.

Definitely need to cut back on the beer. I've actually been leaning towards wine lately since my wife and I can drink that together. Plus you can already feel good after a glass or two.

I haven't seen that one yet and I try to look for new beers to try so I can save the cap. I've tried hundreds of different beers and have a couple binders full of caps. I always felt Houston should get a better supply of different beers, but I think a lot doesn't come down this far south.

Think of all those minty figures, just destined to escape their plastic bubble bonds and be PERFECT loose mint pieces.

I save my caps in a coffee can in my garage. The thing is almost full! I'll post a pic one day soon...

I get into wine here and there but after a few glasses I not only get a nice buzz but I also get tired. If I go with a nice light red and stay away from the Cabs and Merlot I do okay, otherwise I'll have the wife asking "did you pass out on the couch last night? How much did you drink!"

Been there, done that.
