Customs / Neat custom animated movie CC figure (not mine)
« on: July 09, 2011, 01:35:21 PM »
I didn't post this in the custom forums since it's not mine, but I ran across this today and thought it was pretty cool.
It'd be neat to see a cleaner version of it, either done from a home made mold or mass produced instead of using clay.
 I feel like you could use the 25th anniversary Serpentor (the one with the air chariot) for the torso, and cobra commander's legs with a sculpted foot. I guess the head would have to be sculpted along with a shirt to go over the snake torso.
This makes me want to learn how to do all that stuff

I'm gonna check Winners on my lunch break today. They usually get weird stuff that others don't.
There's a Superstore in my area that has a lot of TF minicons from ROTF/HFTD that were Target exclusive.

The only stuff my Zellers has is like The Rescue mission packs, which I'm not really a fan of, one of the vipers with the snake suit,a Rhino, and two Stormriders.

Sure just pretend like the Green Lantern's  darkest night/brightest day storyline, (which was pretty huge and involved) never happened, but still start a new series called red lantern corps. cool cool cool.
I know some people were down on the whole color spectrum idea from that run, but I think it was actually really cool and gave a lot more depth to the series.

Customs / removing broken peg from figure
« on: June 27, 2011, 11:07:12 PM »
i guess this is the right place to ask. i ended up breaking the peg off a backpack i was trying to use for a figure and can't get it out. i thought maybe useing a thumbtack would allow me to stick it in and pull it out, but that hasn't worked.
i don't really want to dig it out much cuz i don't want to ruin the end of the peg or the hole on the figure.

any suggestions?

Off Topic / Re: Possible Canada Post Strike

Postal strike is apparently over now?

I don't see why Canada Post should remain a crown corp. Why not privatize it and allow competition for other carriers to make postage more affordable?
Anything more than a letter to a parcel that can fit through their slot just turns into getting robbed.

I used to actively run a small vinyl distro and it's painful having to compromise on shipping rates, because even Canadian customers would pay less for shipping from someone in the US, and it's hard to convince US customer's to pay twice the cost of shipping they would through USPS. I know  part of the reason CPs rates are so high is because we don't have the same infrastructure as USPS and our population isn't as dense, but even their small business program (I forget the name of it) which is supposed to give you discounts is ridiculous, and still asks you to pay full retail price for packaging materials.

If we allowed other competitors delivering the same services, I think the rates would get better, and we wouldn't have to worry about the mail service, which so many people rely on being strangled because of disputes like this.
I'm not sure of how it would work to let other companies handle the mail, but I think it would be a better situation than being left with no other choice.
