M.A.S.K Collection

This is probably the best toy line ever. Great attention to detail in the toys, be it in the vehicle modes or the attack modes. The missiles are moulded pretty much the same as they look in the cartoon series and hide away very nicely unlike the missile projectiles of toys nowadays, huge ugly transparent chunks of 'aerodynamic' plastic that look out of place when placed into the figure's missile launcher.

Most of the figures featured a few points of articulation mainly the shoulders, thighs, knees and neck. The shoulders and neck rotate 360 degrees and the thighs and knees have a 90 degree joint. Each figure has their own respective mask.

They had the winning formula in the racing series where the vehicles looked damn great in both their normal and attack modes, with great designs for the attack mode. Just look at Razorback, Wildcat, Goliath and Buzzard.

My humble M.A.S.K collection so far.
Anyone has a complete Stinger & Vampire to let go off?

McFarlane Halo 3 Series 2 Lineup

As with Series 1, Series 2 features a Campaign and Multiplayer sub-line.
Missing from Series 1 is the Vehicles sub-line. Can't say that one'll miss out on much though.
There are 5 figures from the Campaign and 10 figures from the Multiplayer sub-lines respectively.
Of the 10 Multiplayer figures, 6 are exclusives... >_< (to date, I've managed to secure all 6 exclusives... damn shiong to collect the entire line siah... dunno whether to get the 2 SDCC exclusive figures though... damn expensive though...)

Campaign

Masterchief
Arbiter
ODST Trooper
Brute Stalker
Drone

Multiplayer

Will update with pictures once I've received them. Still waiting for the mass retail figures to appear here though... Heard from my usual supplier that Series 2 was in super hot demand and thus no stock will be arriving........... Who's got a full set of mass retail Series 2 figures to let go off at non-scalper prices?

New Buys

Finally succumbed to the Halo Series 2 exclusives...
managed to get 4 of the 6 from Ebay, now all that's left is the fugly pink and yellowish gold
Can't wait for it to arrive in the mail!! :)

Selling Stuff

Have a few items up for sale, leave me a message or email if interested.
(first come first serve though)
Since the death of Yahoo! auctions, there's 1 lesser place to let go of items when you need to.

Have been introduced to this new budding auction site chupr.com and have listed most of the items here on it.

Some points to take note of:
1. All have been used for display purposes only unless stated otherwise.
2. Meetups will be along the NEL, other stations are subject to my schedule.
3. Price negotiations will not be entertained.
4. Cash on delivery only, I do not do shipping to anywhere nor will entertain requests to do so.
5. If selling as a set, I will only sell as a set.
6. Feel free to ask questions if in doubt, I will do my best to answer.

Transformers:

Targetmaster Crosshairs
Complete and loose, joints are slightly loose with slight sticker and paint wear
Letting go for $70

Souchaku Henshin (Transarmour) Kamen Rider:
