@jknaus Don't feel bad James. I just did a BIG order from Andy's with 1/16th figures and some tank and jeep goodies and bundles. I justified it all as it isn't a new kit as such but support stuff for existing kits. Figured it would be wise to get the figures and such while he had them in...

Too bad we can't have an impromptu chat while you work in the evenings or on weekends if anyone is on and interested. Not a formal get together video chat, but more informal if anyone is on and interested.

LOL! I am my own worst enemy for doing research, Saúl only helps to dig that rabbit hole deeper.

If all these parts go into one big diorama it will be the size of one of Bob Letterman's builds.

Been there done that Tim. I bought a figure from China that when it came in was an awesome casting and everything I could have expected. Later on there was figure of the Gal Gaddot WW that I really liked and it was a horrible recast. Then I went to Wonderfest up in Louisville and learned about...
