Oh - it wasn’t all Shadow!
My two big buys were Transformers.
I have wanted a Soundwave for forever. I found a Japanese reissue with Laserbeak. Later I came back and had to get a used Ravage to complete them. Box had a minor defect, but overall it was in great shape. (I still want the Masterpiece reissue of this.) Looking online, though, I payed only half of what they are listed as on Ebay (well I saw one starting at the same price, but with 5 days to go, I bet it will go up.)
And then I found something I have never see before - a Japanese Dark Skyfire.
Now I always wanted a Jetfire, as he was basically a Robotech Veritech fighter rebranded as a Transformer. Dark Skyfire is an update of the old design to be more articulated, and this is a DECEPTICON version. So he is black and purple my favorite color combo. He will look bitching next to my masterpiece Skywarp.
So he is basically a purple black veritech fighter. What more is there to love? Oh, the fact that I got him for half to a forth of what he is going for on ebay.
And finally I found the Disney exclusive repaint of Boba Fett’s blaster, which they don’t make anymore.
