i have 2 built up; one of them for some reason included only left-side engines so gluing it together looked awful since one side was upside down. no problem with the antennas.

the one NIB still has the shrink wrap so i don't know what is or isn't broken in it.

i just took it down from my son's room. i had it hanging from the ceiling with fishing line but it was all dusty and needed a cleaning.

These are too flexible to hurt.

oh hell no you're wrong. at least in my experience the old school hot wheel track from the 1970s will leave a damn mark. that shite stings.

the new track is much shorter.

The hot wheels pieces were sturdier. Those bad boys stung like a mofo

Most of my toys from when I was a kid disappeared, although I bought all my He-Man toys. I still have my original hot wheels collection.

I think this was from being built or put away for years and they snapped off. They are very fragile. Especially now. Brittle

I still have all the legos I collected over the years stored somewhere. Talking Space Police, Blaktron, Ice Planet 2002. All the cool old space sets.

Probably have over 300,000 pieces in total

no wait..here's the REAL WTF moment from this. THey're on the SAME MOLD. see below; those 'exacto knife' looking engines in the middle of the mold.

one set had jets w/ different angles; the other had jets ALL THE SAME.

damn, might have been a collectable; maybe only a few were made w/ the wrong mold.
