I gotta say it's really impressive seeing all those carded figures, by the time Joe's 50th anniversary rolls around these kind of pics will be golden (like how we appreciate any MOC 80s pics).  But I do feel sorta sorry for you bro, you won't see the light of day for months trying to open all that up!  :)

Never thought about that. Better keep the pics in the archives lol.

As far as opening goes, I'll try and get to most of it in the next few days. Single cards aren't so bad once you get a groove going, but the EC sets might take some time.

Also, this is bad because I'm leaving space on the shelves for more. I'll be making a similar sized order within a month or so and then I REALLY need to cut back. The movie line and my lack of plans to build the resolute line are going to help the cut back.

I guess it's safe to assume the 30 army builder number doesn't apply to the B.A.T.s   I know I broke my cap number of 12 with the B.A.T.s. as this piece of plastic crack is hard to pass up.

oh man tell me about it.  Wife and I went by Markville Mall yesterday and TRU had a case of canadian carded wave 9 - of course I had to pick up the single BAT and Snow Serpent there.  I'm trying to use them all for trade bait - I have 5 BATS and 1 Snow Serpent on eBay right now, but I might just break down and keep them all!!!

so far the most i have is 10 BATS + 1 Cartoon accurate BAT (DVD pack)

Do you keep the packaging? I just tossed a bunch of Transformer boxes because they take up too much space but I tend to keep the Joe packages. I slice the bubble with a knife just around the one side so if I wanted I could put the figure back in down the road.

I keep the card backs uncut, but I bin all of the plastic.

holy....I'm counting 70 odd carded figs in that Part 1 pic!  Say average is $10 per card and we're already at $700, with some added weight for shipping and it's close to $750!

So umm, who should I send my resume to at your work?

QFT

 :lol:

Man that is a HUGE haul.

I notice its just figures. I guess that means all your troops do a lot of walking? I think you should expand to vehicles as well.  :wink: That would be cool cause who doesn't want an army of air chariots? As a side effect you might also clean out those first wave vehicles for the rest of us.
*snicker snicker* kidding of course. Obviously with you being back logged I'd be willing to help you hold some of those toys :shifty:

I have at least one of each of each of the new vehicles plus a slew of the classic stuff. Some of the newer ones I have 2 or three of, but to be honest, I don't have enough room to army build vehicles. My joe room is very small. I have a Flagg set up that spans the entire length of it and most of my vehicles sit on that lol.
