Thanks for the heads up and pics, “Danrio.” Roybal … I have about 372 writer-puns with his name and all the navy-airman puns but I successfully resisted because I thought of the kids … What a smug smile. Landing Signal Officer. Sweet. Dialed in. Also Bessie Flywell on the right card but the wrong name. (and there […]

Thanks “Michael VN,” for the pics. Some Walmart’s seen to using the top shelf as overstock – so if you can’t find your needs on the pegs, don’t forget to look up. Of course, at my store, it’s virtually all LEGO overstock. PLANES CASE C has arrived. Nice price at that WM – mine is […]

Thanks for the heads up and photos, “John H.” Bob Moter, originally a Target 4-pack seems to have been clearanced at Ross Stores – never having arrived at Target. Another fun Opel. Bob appears to be a unibody – the seam seems to e just a design element. With some of other Opel’s. Miguel Camino’s […]

Surprise, the 2016 diecast themes 2016 has arrived before they updated the website. The first releases are nearly all re-releases with a few repaints. The Deluxe releases feature a higher ratio of new releases. Thanks for the heads up, “John H.” The “95 Returns” theme not shown here is mostly unknown except for Red, Otis […]

Mattel posted a new photo for 2016 PLANES … er, not real useful … maybe it’s just me …

“30nitroade79” says that the missing Planes Pitty’s are coming … Ma Da Zui (which translates directly to “bigmouth.”) & Ulfberht “30nitroade79” also picked up some custom tents. This was the Sun Wing tent set shown but never released – maybe it’s still coming? Thanks for the fun pics, “30nitroade79”  

It looks like Mattel found more in the warehouse to clearance out. These were the only 3 produced so collect ’em all. These appear to be the ones available at Matty only with the rubber tires. If you click through, the cardbox box encasing it is the Matty store one (the retail one did not […]

Thanks for the great pics, “Michael VN!” – the last singles of 2015 has hit the pegs. Brett Warnewagen. Don’t worry – the released version has his eyeballs under his “eyelids.” 🙂 “Gabriele M.” sends along an open pic of Brent to show definitively that the release version has the correct eyes (with Paul Oilkey). […]

A great feature to pass along … “A French Soldier’s View of US Soldiers in Afghanistan. What follows is an account from a French ISAF soldier that was stationed with American Warfighters in Afghanistan sometime in the past 6 years. This was copied and translated from an editorial French newspaper.  Grammatical errors have been kept […]
