@dawfydd Great collection of Transformers. It makes me think back and want to hand off the original Negatron that I had as a kid that really did end up like a Ruger before the design got canned by Hasbro. The work you got third party reminds me of the HK work done to make custon GI Joes back in the mid-late 90s that kicked off the custom toy wave that led to companies specializing in them. For everybody I hand off info from Wikipedia on designer toys.

My Plastic Heart

Rotofugi

Gunnzo (run by a really nice owner I surprised with a pretty rare trade when out in San Diego for a friend’s basic training graduation)

Urban Collector

Vinyl Pulse

With the Mongolian music and the mention of food I think I might treat myself to some Mongolian barbeque literally just down the road.

@evilstu I was reminded of the cool toys that would’ve been a treat as a kid in this last reply

@limburger That sucks to hear that your options are so limited. It is funny to see the little boy dressed as Zwarte Piet leading the singing. Normally I’d think soccer chants would be a little more animated as large club followings would be gathered in huge crowds. I remember being in Italy and learning exactly what kind of rivalries there were in Seria A league play. Despite all the push for change of the holiday there I humbly ask that you enjoy some oliebollen for me. My mother was stationed in the Netherlands years ago and used to make it as a treat for the family when I was growing up.
