I got an Atlantis Kong, Zilla and Phantom of the Opera for about $20.00 apiece. I'm in a greyscale mode doing these old kits in B/W. Its a legit excuse for recollecting a 3rd time but its really about the glow boxes. 8)

Good prices on those.
I've noticed some prices are finally getting a little more sane lately.

Scored the last of the POTC kits! Shining Spoils of the Scalywag and Freebooters Last Leg. I was hesitant on these because they're a piece-meal compilation of the other kits but they do have different bases so I can say I own the whole re-pop series. Merry X-mas to me! :xmas:

Just stumbled across this gem. Not sure how I missed this one when it was first released (in 2012 I think), but glad to have it in the collection. Good timing as I'm getting a little burnt out on wearing out my Dremel tool on resin kits.

I didn't realize until I read the instructions that Bela first appeared as Dracula on Broadway in 1927 and this kit is based on that performance. The box says it's the Deluxe Model Kit, so I assume there is also a version without his victim and maybe a simpler base?

Finally how can you not love the Moebius boxes? The first photo is an actual build up (done by David Fisher) and surprise! it matches the box art (second photo).

Nice score. Sometimes trying to find these more recent kits several years after their shelf cycle can be quite difficult. At least at a reasonable price.

I am still on the fence on that one. I like it, but not sure I like it more than other things on my shopping list.
Guess I will decide at WF 23. If Steve still has some at a good price I just might own one.
Not a huge Vampi fan. But I wouldn't mind having a glow one on the shelf with the rest of my glow kits.

Well, I am starting off the year on a good foot
Scored this on ebay today at a very reasonable price (even with shipping from Canada)

It will fit right in with the others I have so far

Then I just need to track down Dracula and Frankenstein for something less than $70-90.
Honestly, I won't even think about pulling the trigger for anything more than around $30.

Just got this one. Pretty silly kit, but couldn't resist. The box doesn't show it too well, but Yoda and Luke are in a cave and R2D2 is outside looking in. Will be a good one to add some LEDs to. It's different anyway.

No that is a really BAD-AZZ kit! "Encounter on Dagobah" I had one and never finished it! Where did you get it?

Moebius Superboy re-pop. Another kit I had as a kid that I have no idea what happened to. I scored another off E-bay about 20 years back but whoever built it used a whole tube of glue and had it all over the figure so severely it was beyond hope. Looking forward to revisiting this one! 8)
