I meant to post this comment sooner, as I knew people would point it out- Yes, Stratos is a bit "frankensteined " at the moment. He came with a Taiwan blue jetpack on. I added some extra Malaysia red wings when I got home just to display him, but absolutely have plans to get the correct pack and wings on him. :-) Appreciate the comments!!
Yay, Brett! I don't often miss Tennessee, but I do miss being able to hang out with Brett whenever we wanted to. I was so excited that Power-Con was such a big reunion. Great stuff!
Hey guys - my comments sections are getting hit hard with scammers who are pretending to be me and asking people to reach out to them to claim a prize. THIS IS NOT ME. I would not ask any of you to text or message me. Please report these comments if you see them. I am sorry if any of you got caught up in the scams. Please be safe out there!
Cool. He's a bit Frankensteined at the moment. I put a pair of Malaysia red wings on him just so he looks cool on the shelf, but definitely planning to track down the correct parts.
Congratulations on that grail, Dan! I always love seeing passionate fans acquire a piece they really want. Definitely a special day for you. The entire haul looks pretty sweet.
I spit out half my coffee when you got to the sealed soundtrack album... and I literally got misty-eyed when I saw the boxed Royal Swift Wind. WOW. What a deep chest of treasures you've stumbled on!
Awesome haul! I recently re-discovered a blue beard Stratos from my childhood collection when visiting my parents home during the early summer. The joints are tight and paint is excellent condition. It is missing the armor, but otherwise was an exciting find when I pulled it out of my old box of toys.
That's great. Having a blue-beard is a 10 on the Cool Scale. It's too bad the jet pack isn't right. Blue-beard Stratos came with a short strap, 3 tab pack.
I was at Power-Con and Brett was hooking me up with deals all weekend long! He also sold me that boxed Multi-Bot that I opened in front on you at the show.
I didn't know that the Blue Beard Stratos was so rare. It's the only one that I have in my collection! I have him loose, complete and in nice shape. I think paid $35 for him about a decade ago. Wow.
@@tommywalker5348 Nah. I've had these most of thes toys since I was a kid, and I've always wanted a full collection, and now I'm almost there. I had no idea that my figure was the first release version. I guess I never paid much attention to that sort of thing, because I always had one for so long, and never noticed that there were other versions out there.
That record actually is the Story. The opening song from the movie opens it up and then it proceeds as an almost Listen and Read kind of thing. I'm pretty sure I have the cassette version.
nice lot there - yes ive spied a Saurod for sale here in New Zealand on ' Trade Me ' for $300 MOC but yea He tends to be a verry brittle figure - lol probably -😉- an intentional action feature...... as Skeletor pretty much disintegrates him in the movie lol....... na
💡💡❗ Thank you, Pixel Dan! You've given me an idea of how Mattel can give Origins collectors Stratos's blue rocket pack and red wings! It may end up being a Mattel Creations figure, but a red wings, blue rocket pack Stratos could be sold if it also came with the blue bearded, grey goggled head. The blue _may_ have to match the lighter blue shade of 2021 Stratos, but I could also imagine him with a shade closer to vintage Stratos.
I was literally speaking with Kevin from Pegwarmers today about how I still have my childhood Saurod complete and working and joking about how Dan’s childhood one was in pretty rough shape. I then added, “I bet he has a better one too.” LOL.
You got me jealous man! What a haul, you hit the Jack pot 😂. Congratulations, specially on obtaining the blue beard. Had a chance at one my self but the post lasted all of 3 mins, and the figure sold for a amount way out of my price range. Why can’t I just strike it rich, 😂
I'm trying to get more into MOTU, usually as Villainous henchmen, but we never get them in our town, so I am going to have to go online. I have recently bought a lot of Wrestlers, also for Villains.
Pixel Dan I am really big fan of your show and if you are ever in collinsville Illinois I wood be really awesome to meet you because I am big fan of he man to
