Yesterday afternoon I was gathering up more of my stuff to move to my new home. I got to a tub that I knew had a never been opened Mumm-Ra’s Tomb playset, but when I opened the tub my jaw dropped to the floor and I started yelling like a 5 year old on Christmas Day.
To my VERY pleasant surprise, I found the following:
MISB Mumm-Ra’s Tomb
MOC Ben-Gali
MOC Pumyra
MOC Lynx-O
MOC Jaga
MOC Mongor
MOC Safari Joe
MOC Cheetara with Kit
MOC Lion-O with Snarf
MOC Lion-O with Snarf #2
ThunderCats booklight
Cardback to one of my Laser Sabers
I think that was it. I was a tad excited, so I may have overlooked something. I wonder what other forgotten treasures I’ll find. I know there is still a MISB Tongue-A-Saurus, a loose/complete Light-Up Sword of Omens, and a never assembled Cat’s Lair in a damaged box waiting to be refound.
Moving is a lot of work, but with days like yesterday, I am actually enjoying it!!
No, nothing as cool as having a toy shop. In the last several months I have gotten married and bought a home. So been moving stuff out of my parents’ home when I can, although, had a major delay due to several big snow storms.
Most things I find that I have forgotten about, I remember the moment I see it. But I honestly do not remember ever seeing those MOC figures. Then again, it is hard to remember everything I have, considering I had 95% of the ThunderCats toyline, 90% of the Masters of the Universe toyline, and 99% of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles as a child.
But at least now I will have a place to properly display my collection, once it all gets moved. I have a 6 foot long display case like a jewelry story would have, it should be making the move this weekend (weather permitting). There’s going to be one sweet looking action scene in there, Cat’s Lair on one side, Mumm-Ra’s Tomb in the other, and all of the figures and vehicles in between.
Yep, sure am. Doesn’t hurt that all of my stuff that has not moved is at my folk’s house, and I can make a pit stop there any evening I want on the way home from work. Moving is not very stressful when you only work at it for 30-60 minutes at a clip at your own pace and with virtually no gas spent going back and forth.
