I have lots of Joes to trade, Kre-o and otherwise -- nothing old though. :)

Kre-o Transformers

I am looking for a few sets of Kre-o Transformers by Hasbro.

First is the brand new Toy Fair 2015 Winter Optimus Prime.


I am looking for the Age of Extinction blind-bag Collection Series 2. 


I am looking for the "Custom" series Collection 1.


These are Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Ironhide, Megatron, Soundwave, and Starscream.


And the "Custom" series Collection 2. 
These are NOT the movie "custom" packs.


These are Hound, Jazz, Cliffjumper, Galvatron, Predaking, and Dreadwing.

I am looking for the two BotCon exclusive packs.
2013 is called Machine Wars, 5 figures: 
Megaplex, Hoist, Obsidian, Skywarp and Strika


2014 is the Botcon 20th Anniversary set, 6 figures:
Fractyl, G2 Breakdown, Landshark, Shattered Glass Rodimus, Gigatron, and Rattrap


Finally, I am looking for the SDCC 2014 30th Anniversary set of 30.
These go for $100 on ebay which is not a bad price for what you get.
However, I would really like to work a trade for a set.  


I have lots to offer including the rare Computron and Menasor combiners
Blind bags series 1, 2, and 4, the preview series, and all the original 2011 minifigures.

Slimy Sludge

I am looking for one figure: Mitch Machete.
This is a current toyline available at Target called Slimy Sludge by Blip Toys.  
They are tiny figures found in blind foil bags of slime.  They cost $3.
There are two lines out: Rot Zombies (purple pack) and Sludge Monsters (green pack).
Mitch Machete is in the purple pack.

The packages look like this:

The checklist looks like this:

The figure looks like this:

You can feel the bag for him.  That's how I got all the others.
I am also looking for another Toxic Snout as a replacement for the damaged one that I have.
Also, if you like this toyline, let Target know and maybe we'll see the other three factions of critters!


Marvel Mega Bloks

I have the three common blind-bag minifigure series.  
I have the Amazing Spider-Man, Iron Man 3, and Captain America sets.
I am looking for some of the older squatty figures circa 2004-2008. 

I am looking for the Fantastic 4 figures:


Shot-legged squatty Spider-Man figures especially Green Goblin, Venom and Carnage:


Also looking for newer, not-squatty version of The Hulk (2008 movie) and Rhino (set 1947).


Finally, the X-Force Wolverine which came in this weird Easter egg in 2011:



Here is an example of a junk lot that I missed on eBay.
You can see Green Goblin, Carnage, Human Torch, and freaking Rhino right there. Doh!


Also, if you just want to lament with me for a moment on Mega Bloks mishandling of the Marvel characters and license... just look at this picture of what could have been.  These are prototypes (Toyfair 2011) -- not customs.  Man, I wish these had been made available somehow. Oh, well.


Actually, just examining this publicly showcased display with all the accessories missing and absolutely no life to their poses, I suppose it is no wonder that Marvel pulled the plug and headed for Lego as quickly as possible.  Yeesh!

Mini Mez-itz

These two figures were released as keychains only -- as far as I know. 
They were released at Spencer Gifts only -- as far as I know. 
They are probably still for sale there -- as far as I know. 
The fact is, I don't know, so I'll trade something kewl if you have them. 


These figures are the 5 from the blind-box series that weren't also in the separate boxed-set. 
If you bought a bunch of blind-boxes, you can probably help me with the common figures.

Also, the super-rare mystery figure is this blue blank-faced Superman.
Good luck to us both of every finding such silliness:


I don't believe these were ever made. This is a Toyfair picture from 2012.
If you want to send them to me to prove their existence, go right ahead:


Same story with this Girls of Gotham set from Toyfair 2013.
Notice that Harley was issued in the blind-box series and the other two became keychains.
                     Let me know if Poison Ivy exists in any publicly available form, m-kay?


 Shall I continue? Here is the annual picture from Toyfair 2014 of figures that never came to market.
Apparently they were going to do another blind-box series of 10, and just scrapped half of them.
Am I wrong? Just let me know. I'd like to find The Penguin for sure. 


Toyfair 2015 just happened.  
I might as well mention what meagerness we might encounter late this year:

The Flash and Captain Cold -- uh, again.
Green Arrow and Deathstroke -- cool.

And the only other possible release on the horizon:

WoW Mega Bloks

Mega Bloks did a brief second series for World of Warcraft in July, 2013.  
I ended up finding all the "mystery" creatures except one!
It's the glow-in-the-dark Diseased Ghoul.  
I would love to finally find this guy!


He is a mystery figure from these creature packs:

He is NOT one of the ghouls from the Goblin Shredder set (91045):


This is the checklist from the creature packs:

I have a couple things I can trade for this guy, including the "Legendary Rare" Lil' Deathwing!

Angry Birds Telepods

I am looking for one cart (from one package) from Series 2.  

This is a very recent toy. Series 1 had a widespread release in the US. 
Series 2 was only released in Canada and part of the midwest (maybe at Meijer).
I can get it on ebay for about $18 shipped.
Obviously, I am looking for someone to help out with a better deal than that. 
I keep hoping that they come to a US discount store, after all Series 1 ended up at Dollar Tree!

The pack looks like this:

Technically I am only looking for this guy:
