Spike’s face is much better on it though.

Idk about that…

It would be cool if it were just Spike, but I don’t want Faye. I like to keep my men to myself. :wink:

But, no, I don’t think it’s $454 cool.

They are releasing them separate as well for $239.99 each ,but you don’t get the same background or the cig for Spike .

As bad as that price seems I just saw someone post a MOC vintage figure I paid $52 for in Feb just sold on eBay for over a $100 loose . Not sure what the only MOC sold for as it was marked $299 ,but sold with a best offer . Seriously this is the stuff that happens when Star Wars collectors move to a new hobby because Star Wars is to expensive .

Poor Jet, no representation. I guess I understand it, Bebop is all about rule of cool and Jet’s the straight man.

For $454, this figure set would have to have been made out of painted gold-pressed latinum to justify its cost IMO.

Hadn’t thought about Gold Pressed - Latinum in quite a long time.

I’ve stopped my model train hobby for this reason, when they started selling models that I bought in the 1970’s for $2 or $3 for $30+ I knew something was wrong. They sell model trains that make Spike & Co. look like something you should get out of a gumball machine. There is a term, Rivet Counter, that conveys the feeling.

So from the stuff I’ve gotten off eBay over the last 3 months I had a little bit of eBay bucks . Just now used them . It’s getting harder and harder to figure out what to use the bucks on . Before it was the same day I got them .

Oh was on my way back from the beach visiting a friend that’s about to head over to the land down under and saw this driving around .

Sharks, Gators, Pythons & Cougars. Yep, gotta’ love Florida wildlife. :grin:

Used some eBay bucks a couple months ago to order a USB DAC from China. Little black box sounds really nice.

Then this past weekend we took Seth’s garage sale find Korean clone of a Fender Stratocaster Guitar to the Guitar Center to see what it needs to be made workable again. Spoiler : Everything. It cost $20 so if it takes $200 in parts to bring it back to spec we are way ahead of the game. The original Fender that it copied was $4000.

I also bought a set of AKG Headphones, so now I look like Hifumi from New Game when she’s listening to Game tunes. :headphones:

I’ve been watching Bond movies since they’ve been on Starz/Encore .

This keeps getting stuck in my head .

Hey, now I know 2 songs by A-HA, a 100% improvement over where I was before I read your post :wink:

Maybe I too should rewatch the older Bonds, but I’m torn as while Spectre left the series on such a low note for me because it was like half a Bond film and half an Austin Powers film, I was waiting for the films to get the inevitable 4K UHD HDR releases.

However, I’m sure just plain-jane blu-ray will be a yuge improvement already as I’ve only ever seen Bond in the theater on on pre-HD TV.

Had a Stroopwafel McFlurry at McDonalds. It was great, but the big mystery is, what the heck kind of spoon is this? Hole down the middle, but not a straw. Two “air holes” in the shaft. Little clippy thing on the side. WTF?

Yesterday I had another one and some ice cream dripped out through those holes and made a mess on my shirt. Bad design imo. I had to be careful with every spoonful.

They attach to the mixing thing if I remember right so they don’t have to keep switching or cleaning the mixer attachment .

Somebody is getting paid a lot for that idea.

Thanks @Psychopuppet

Fair enough. The first time I had one, it was at home where I was able to rinse the spoon clean first.

The second time was in the car so…

Now I get why the spoons are a real mess at first sight.
