| I know what you're thinking, John took a week off right before the Holidays? Well family came over to visit, my wife had most of the week off, and staying in the workshop hunched over painting was pretty much impossible to do. So with 5 things halfway completed nothing was ready for Sunday's auctions, sorry! However as Vader would command I'm redoubling my efforts for this week even tho Thanksgiving is tomorrow. I might even put up some buy-it-now auctions up for a Black Friday auction or two if I can get some stuff finished early! Treat those people who stayed home and didn't join the mad rush for cheap stuff on Friday. But rest assured now that I'm rested the rest of my customs will be resting in your collection this Sunday when normal auctions resume.
But fear not, I do have something custom related I put together last night, how to fill gaps using superglue and baking soda! This was explained to me a while back by a friend and it really works. Makes for rock hard fills and it's really durable.
In other news, Mezco is offering $50 in savings on their MezcoDirect.com shop! Just enter SANTAMEZ in to the coupon box for a hefty break for your wallet! You still need your Golden Army clockwork golem right? Also be on the lookout for Toys R Us' Black Friday sale. I've heard everything from Leader Class transformers being $20 to a bunch of their NECA stuff going on sale. So take a peek if you're free friday and see what they have. | comments: 1 comment or Leave a comment   |
| This week, and it's kinda late for an update, I know, we have two new customs. A MvC2 Magneto revision with the Magnetic Tempest and Iron Man with Stark Weaponry. Both have been covered before as customs but I like to go back and tweak the designs as new figures come out over time and my skills improve. The DC Unlimited Red/Blue Superman bodies don' have such a wide stance as the original Superman body I made my Magnetos/Cyclops out of and generally look better. So I'm going back and revising those customs over time. Iron Man was just a fan-request, I suppose because the new movie is filming (filmed, are they done?) and we saw the new figures. Anyway, here they are!
 
In other news, hrmmm... ToyRocket.com is having a MASSIVE sale with everything in stock 50-90% off. But before you go off ordering tons of stuff, make sure you use PayPal. ToyRocket has been known not to have the best customer service and in case something fishy is going on with the sale, you'll be able to get your money back through PayPal's buyer protection. That's only if anything goes wrong. I do see things I ordered disappear from their instock search so I'm hoping it's legit and they really are shipping everything out.
Keep an eye on Hobby Link Japan!! From the time of this writing in 34 hours they'll be doing their free shipping (if you pay through paypal I believe)! That would be the time to snag all your Modeling Support Goods parts, ball joints, heck, whatever you want from them. Last time the free shipping was good for instock items only and man, you could order tons of stuff and avoid that $30-$40 shipping charge from Japan. So get crackin!
