Tried to fix it on my own but found it the problem is worst than I thought. I need a new circuit board and ordered on. The tech cost 235 bucks and wanted 1300 for a new circuit board but I bought one for 100 bucks. Hoping to get it by Saturday. It's good to know what you're doing. Obviously it saves you money. I hope it works out quick. |

Well the nightmare is over for now, we got heat again. Probably easily saved over 1500 bucks by doing it ourselves, my brother actually put it in. Found a Power Rangers Alpha 5 figure but not for me, otherwise nothing to else to report.

Unfortunately the red truck is missing the front wheels and grill, purple truck is missing about most of the stuff but the frame is in decent shape. The big wheels are from a Stomper Water Demon missing the car frame but oterwise in good looking shape. Both cars don't work but the head lights do. I was hoping to find more parts but I went over every bag twice. Funny thing is both had Eveready batteries in them and no leaking acid stains. Do you remember the red Eveready batteries from the 80s with the cat jumping through a 9? www.carousell.sg/p/vintage-eveready-no-1015-union-carbide-aa-transistor-battery-104888414/ |

Are these trucks good for a custom with your custom figures? So the lights work, that is a bonus for any possible future custom displays.

So I looked up the stomper water demon and found out that most likely that purple truck frame does belong to the big wheel base. I saw pics of the same frame but only in red or light blue, could not find a purple one. Those trucks are too small to mix with my custom figures.

Do you get custom fodder from any Ebay sources?

I haven't in awhile but I do have a lot of bodies to work with. I'm always looking though. I put out two more power armor mutant customs, be sure to check them out.

Most like the small beasts a few of them have potential to be a Wasteland custom. Top left is Playmobil Dragons figure which is a nice find except he is missing his right leg, I found a red one before. The truck on the bottom is an oldschool Transformer based on the G1 Onslaught except in different colors. The two cycles are possible conversions but will take a lot of work.

Did you get the pic of all the 1970s figures I found in one bag? Sorry about that. It's been a few days since I looked at my Discord account. What's the story on these guys?
These look so cool. A lot of potential here.

MY two latest customs the Rhino seems to be more liked of the two. Yeah those figures I pulled out of one thrift store grab bag and me checking on them have potential to sell for like 200 bucks or maybe more. Top 3 are Battle Star Galactica figures, second part are some sort of Cowboy line from the 70s that have names to all those figures like Wyatt Earp, Sherlock Holmes, and more. Bottom six are Buck Rogers figures and most are in pretty good condition. Also those 4 orange guys look like trash BUT they come from a big Space 1999 Space craft set and are worth some money as well. Definitely a nice find for under 4 bucks bought. Space 1999 was a TV show in the 70s but I don't think I watched it, I do remember having their awesome space craft though at one point.

I think I had some of those cowboy action figures when I was a child. I'm nearly positive I had that Wild Bill Hickok figure.  A nice new lot! Those horse will come in handy I would assume, maybe?

Didn't that then just stir up a really old memory! So cool to hear you had one or more of these. The black cowboy named Deadwood Dick is the money figure in this lot but sadly mine has a missing arm. After checking up on these the first time I checked for those horses with the rivots in the legs and was lucky to find them along with the Battlestar Galactica figure there and it holds value too cause most of those figures are missing the tail.
