Shades of Grey on Whyte Ave close to the Whyte Knight. It's a Tattoo place but has half the store vintage toys. Boxed 70-90s stuff including Joes, Star Wars, Mego , MOTU. One of the best set ups I've ever seen. Even the Joe Flagg carrier! Maybe its been around a while but first time I noticed it.

Man you find some good stuff.

Shades of Grey has been around since the late 90's in various incarnations. They usually make an appearance at most of the Expos in Alberta.

Thanks! Crazy I've never heard of them. Cool place to visit though.

Nice. I grabbed Dirge in that sale. Bought Ramjet and Thrust back in the spring when they were on sale but pricing was not as good as the BF sale. I'll have to ship it soon as I don't see myself ordering anything else from BBTS anytime soon, the days of a at par currency are long gone.

Got my Dengar's in today. Was starting to worry they wouldn't show in time. Unfortunately my Rio's came in a smashed up bubble mailer

It was my first purchase from BBTS since starting the hobby nearly 10 years ago. I've been eyeballing these guys almost that entire 10 years, in one incarnation or another - Igear, KBB, and now official MP. There was no arguing with the price this time. Came away paying a lot less than I was expecting at customs too, so pretty happy. The box sizes are deceiving though - they're so light!

Monday December 17th, 2018 - Action Figure Haul

Lots of great pick ups over the past week! It was my birthday last week so the first picture is of all the gifts I got from friends and family that know me too well.

I also finished off the new Black Series wave finally! Had been waiting for the exclusive Hoth 2 pack to arrive which released a bit after the main wave, chose to get that over the regular Hoth Leia release.





Happy hunting everyone!

Action Figure Haul - Friday December 21st, 2018

Jurassic Savage Strike and Bite N' Fight Haul! Along with Claire and Gyrosphere and More!

Picked this all up at my Toys R Us today.

They started a 50% off all Jurassic sale today and things were flying off the shelves when I got there at opening! It was amazing to see the popularity! Luckily they didn't have the new stuff out yet, so I got the Savage Strike and Bite N' Fight with ease as they unpacked them. Plus with their price protection, I was able to get back enough money from previous purchases to buy all this stuff which was all 50% off too!

Amazing stuff! Thank you Toys R Us Canada!
