Diogasm! (NOW with loose pics! JOY!)
 

Okay, normally this'd just be in the Booty thread, but it's too great to contain in a lengthy thread.

I managed to score these nice big boxes today:

Those look big, don't they?

"What's in them, Jay?", you ask? I'll gladly show you!

A Corps! tent and watchtowers playset!

(and a stock loose photo because I can't take them out entirely just yet)


And a Power Team Elite Headquarters packed with more vehicles, figures, gear and accessories than I know what to do with!

(stock loose photo again)


Now you may thinking I completely bankrupted myself acquiring these hard to find pieces, right?

Wrong!

In total, these two sets cost me $99 Canadian. That's $90 American!

Did I luck out or what?

Needless to say, I can't wait to be able to fully open them and start snapping away! :D

Those, for the most part, look pretty swell! :D

I like the guard tower stuff most.

what a score! nice pieces Jay!

You lucky git!

hmmm I didn't get dogs with my PTE HQ, or is that a different line using the same building?

where did you get those????
awesome haul.

It's legit, it's just a larger value set with more accessories.

Flippin Sexy!

I have that tent, it's an awesome piece of gear. Nice pick ups Jay!

Nice catch!

very nice haul

More pics!

From the Corps! set:

Large tent:


Watchtowers:


Useless, undersized APC and useful missile system (sadly not towable like the stock photo indicated):


Supply depot (was cleverly hidden inside the tent, didn't even notice it before I got it!) and destroyed building:


Road signs, spotlight, generator and assorted pieces:


Tank traps and machine gun stations:


Next post, PTE!

As promised the accessory-tastic PTE set!

Rubbery guns, artillery, small dio pieces:


Checkpoint, fences of all kinds, sandbags, tank traps, etc:


Table, chairs, locker, strategy board:


Dirtbike, patrol bike, ATV, guard dogs:


Headquarters with perimiter:


Inside the headquarters:


Did I luck out or WHAT??

Now, the question remains, where can I store it all...

Store it all? I'm wondering when you'll take it outdoors for some dio shots!

Well by the time everything was out it was too dark to take pics to, you know, show it all off... but hopefully tomorrow I can set something up.

And I managed to store it all, without it being excessively out of reach in the back of a closet somewhere! Go me!

Jay, did you get those from Sears in Canada?

Sweeet
 

I really like the anti-tank defensive things.

The Czech Hedgehogs?

Yeah, they're neat, but not particularly solid.
You can get them from Marauder Inc here:

And the wraparound barbwire here:

I would like the door with the partial wall. I'm hunting it at eBay, but was never able to find =(.

Congratulations! They are all great pieces, hope to see some shots soon.

awesome haul Jay! I have the Corps set and it's wonderful but I think my tent didn't come with all the accessories. Then again, it was partially opened when I won it.

the other dio set is fantastic. so many cool accessories. I've never seen those dogs before.

one of the dogs looks crazy, lol.

Very cool! We'll be waiting for these to show up in your pics. Excellent score!

Thanks Jay for those links. Here's another:

Yikes.

13$ for three... three Marauder Inc hedgehogs would only cost 8$ with the barbwire. Six dollars for three hedgehogs, plus 2$ for three rings of barbwire.

Yep, that site is expensive, and inconsistent too. 10 sandbags in the 1/18th area at $9.99, and those same (according to the photo) sandbags in the Joe section at $12.99.

Still, the site does make me want to do my own resin casting.

DO IT!!!! Then I can buy from you ;)

Big Lots here have the Power Team Elite Marine 3 packs with, IIRC, two hedgehogs for $5.

Some set has the barbed wire fence...maybe the desert marines.

this might tickle your fancy jay

Yeah, this was passed along to me yesterday on Joecustoms.

Looks cool enough, but I'll wait till someone else acquires it and posts pictures before I make a decision.

I've already been meaning to get the Battlefield Deluxe playset because between the extra dio pieces, the bridge and the tent, I'd be well set... so between that and the bombed out building, it'd be another 99$ spent and I simply don't have the budget for that.
Not now, anyways.
