Here's something funny to me..

New for 2021 lol.

...and also Mossman showed up.

[Andy]

Yeah, my Wally world had about 10 Rotons at $13. I'm waiting out to see if I can catch one for the infamous $.99

[Mechanizor]

Wow, that's about half off!...

[Andy]

Found some clearance today..

[Andy]

Y Walmart got another case of the Duplico wave.

[Andy]

My target is finally starting to put the nekkid Stratos wave on sale. Maybe we'll finally get some new stuff

[Mechanizor]

Yeah, do what you must, and I'm the last to worry about since I'm in no rush... I can wait even until the end of the year! I have so much going on in my life at the moment.
BTW, I have 2 flocked Panthors, one I bought from eBay in the beginning of the scarcity for over $60 (I feel like a moron while thinking about it), and another one for like $30 + from Walmart's website, and I'm kinda shocked to see how these are selling for nowadays! LOL

[Andy]

I'll offer them in a thread first. I still haven't even boxed either of them or took any pictures besides at the store. Hopefully I can help some fellow fans out. They still have two more so who knows, but I'm kinda wondering if I'll get to see one of them 99¢ sales. If I can id like to help out a couple of ya then maybe go back for the other 2. This Walmart hasn't gotten much new MotU..or at least less than four cases in three months.

[Mechanizor]

Well, if Croc and/or others aren't interested in them, I can pick them up from you for my own personal collection since I do love to army build for future dioramas.

Just let me know via PM whenever you decide to off load them.

[Andy]

Yeah. Plus shipping. Plus the .03% for PP fees. Probably about $30-40 shipped. I was trying to figure out Canada shipping. Its about 2lb and I think US is about $15 s/h

[Mechanizor]

Are you selling both at $10:00 each?!!

[Andy]

Four flocked Panthors left, now at $10.00. I picked up two. I'll post in the marketplace as soon as I can find shipping boxes. Not asking for much except PayPal cost

[Andy]

Absolutely. I'm willing to help out any board members

[Croc-O-Bite!]

Wow. That certainly beats the $65 Canadian Toys R Us tires to sell flocked Panthor for up here.

If flocked Panthor gets clearanced any further, any chance you might keep me in mind for one please? I ended up purchasing unflocked Panthor since I’m not gullible enough to drop $65 on a flocked one, but I’d love to upgrade to the flocked one if there’s a crazy good deal on one.

[Andy]

$17 is better than $34 but the price has been coming down slowly anyways. Just checked eBay and there not much to profit. Hopefully since there's 6 available maybe next time I'll run into one of those $1 sales that's been reported.

[Mechanizor]

Wow, I wish I had such deals around me... Probably you could buy 5 of them and turn a profit if no one in your area is interested in them to this day!

[Andy]

My Walmart still has 6 flocked Panthors for $17

[Andy]

Went to Target and Meijer today. Nothing New but target had the Sun-Man 3 pack and Masterverse markdown.. Meijer had cgi Stratos and Tri-klops that I never seen before in person.

[Mechanizor]

Thanks for the advice Andy, and I'm usually a positivity guru myself, and things could be a lot worse like you said... It's just sometimes things don't go your way, especially when you trust and give people credit a lot more than they deserve... Regardless, my wrong (and unclear)t choices were partially if not largely part of the problems that I'm in, and sometimes it takes a lot of hard work and persistence to get out of the rot and to fix things up.

Anyhow, live goes on and it takes some planned steps, a lot of faith with constant prayers and resilience to move on forward.

[Andy]

Mech, I hate to see you sound so bummed buddy. You're a good dude.

I wish I had the right words to say. I don't want to be that guy that says it could always be worse because I know that when life serves up funk it's just as easy to say that life could also be better. Or it can't rain all of the time.. no shit, it can snow and freeze the damn rain. We just gotta count our blessings sometimes and change our own perspective sometimes.

I know you don't drink or smoke so iits not like you can blind the situation temporarily. I dunno, maybe pray a little each day for small things like smiling more or witnessing other people smile more. Hell... manifest in your mind that idiots learn to fly so when they don't know any better and fly off into the sun then us earthbound folks can live a little more peacefully.

I know that realistically it doesn't end the problem or worry for the next day so make a goal and think of real solutions to get to that goal. Seriously, completing goals make the spirit feel a different way. Make your pallet less broad if need be. Let your heart rule over frustrations and live your life appreciating what isn't hell my friend.

[Mechanizor]

I’m not afraid of death, after all it’s a blessing in my book to join the all mighty and some of my loved ones. Just not

living in a dignified manner is like a living hell for me…
For me, it’s not much where you live, it’s how you live and who’s around you.
Where I am currently at with my situation, it doesn’t offer me anything I want from this life other than more stress and anxiety.

[Andy]

My youngest son was out there for the military. He loved it but hated not really being able to hunt. I wanted to visit but ended up working a lot. I'm not a big city guy so I would've probably only visited him and universal. He's home now though so I doubt I ever get there.

Im half ass joking when I say this but I hope you escape before a big earthquake sends y'all into the ocean...or a big fire burns y'all off the map. .(Now that a said that, a reverse reverse curse will happen. Mech will get out of Cali and nothing happens except greener pastures for him)

[Mechanizor]

Well, Cali as large as it is, has 10 times worse and 10 better than what Ohio offers… So take that in perspective!
Today I took a little walk where I live, and I couldn’t believe how bad it’s been for the past few years during and after the pandemic, it’s like another crappy town from other part of the Bay! I mean I can write a book of how it has changed from 1994 when I moved to this city to this day;180 degrees to the worst… Sigh, I can’t wait for that day to escape from here…

[Andy]

Toledo's run down looking and it's got it's area that you definitely don't really want to be in but the areas by the zoo are policed a lot more. Downtown is good but traffic is a bitch with a lot of one way roads. I usually only go there to see the Mudhens and It definitely doesn't have the bar scene that Cleveland does.

I guess that in Ohio, there's a little bit of everything everywhere. Ohio's just a screwed up state in general. There's an old saying that goes, "If you don't like the weather..wait a little while.... eventually it'll rain, snow, or sunshine."

[Mechanizor]

Hmm, from the pics I saw online, your area looks as suburbany as it gets with an old town feel!... So you pretty much grew up and lived in the same area most of your life! Lucky you my friend.

Funny enough, when I was applying for colleges back in the day, University of Toledo's engineering department was one of the spots I was aiming for, but my parents were against it due to the scary rumors/news back then. LOL
