Blogger Resolutions For The New Year!

Image
With the new year rolling in (holy crap,2019 already!) things are going to switch up aesthetically here on 2 Minute Toy Break.Ill be switching up themes and with that i'll probably have to reload my blog list as well.I'm also going to make it a point to stick to hobby related posts,avoiding controversial and gripe based content,unless they are gripes about toys specifically.I want to say that I'm going to comment alot more this time around but that all depends on the bloggers content.If i don't leave a comment on your site ,it doesn't mean that I don't   appreciate the work you put into that post,it only means that I'm just not interested in the post. Lastly ,the following list consists of things that I'll be coveting going into 2019 (in no particular order). 1.Reissue Transformers 2.Lanard Corps! Rampage sets 3.Starting Lineups 4.Baseball card singles, vintage commemorative,department store themed sets. 5.Vintage Marchon M Force military figures 6

Merry Christmas Everyone!

Kenner Action Toy Guide

I thought this would make for a pretty cool post,especially with X-Mas just a couple days away.This Kenner pamphlet slid out of my Starting Lineup Award Winners box upon opening.This brought me back like you wouldn't believe!One of my favorite childhood pastimes was looking through toy guides ,marking off figures I needed to complete collections. We recently picked up a new printer with scanner so I figured why not give It a test run.The pics aren't as detailed and crisp as I would have liked them to be ,but that's something I'll have to work on as I go.Trial and error ,I guess.If anyone's got any scanning tips,all are welcomed :)

A Slew Of SLU's !

I'm almost where I want to be with my Kenner Starting Lineup collection.The Award Winners set knocks off alot of players that I would have had a hard time picking up individually ,mainly Bonds and Bob Welch.Another thing this set does is tie in the 80s and 90s ,allowing me to segue my collection to add a few early 90s players that I enjoyed watching during those particular years. The 90 Canseco figure will be replacing the 88 figure in my Oakland Athletics team display.The 1990's Bo Jackson and Cecil Fielder figures will be displayed next to the Award Winners ,where I will be adding a few more 90s players to tie everything in.The top of my shelving unit will be reserved for Mets figures.Aside from a few key 1988 figure needs ,im pretty content with my collection so far. I'm waiting on a Greg Maddux figure that's going to be displayed on the National League side of the Award Winners piece,along with a Kevin Mitchell.In front I'll be placing a fielding Cal R

On My Starting Lineup Grind!

Image
I'm getting closer to completing my ,i guess you could call it frankenset,of Oakland A's Starting Lineup figures.I was going to stop at the 88 releases ,but that was only 3 figures deep,so I've decided to piece my team together with other A's figures released from 1989 thru 1991. Steinbach was kind of the exception here as this figure here Is from the 96 run.It was way cheaper than his 89 fig and I needed a  Steinbach,so there's that. There Isn't much to tell this figure apart from the others that I have on display other than the lettering on the back of his jersey.The letters are green with a yellow outline, modeled after the 96 unis but you can't tell that unless you turn the figure around.So In my mind,this Is 1980's Steinbach .The smallest "Bash Brother" Steinbach. The 1987 Donruss Rated Rookies Steinbach. It's a cool figure but I couldn't help but chuckle at the softball he's about to chuck down to second base.Also
