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 Ripken ,Jr. and fielding/diving/sliding player to be named later.Another new acquisition not pictured above Is the Tony Gwynn 1988 piece.You can see he's taken Bo Jackson's place on the far right of my 80's display.


I still want to add a  Mattingly and a Boggs to the 80's display .Any other 1988 figures  I'll use as fillers.



I'm loving my Cecil Fielder figure!Kenner was generous to the 1990's American League HR champ ,giving us a slimmed down version of  Big Daddy !


I'm done with my makeshift Athletics team. Eckersley aside,I've got pretty much all the major players.



The Mets display has shifted over to the top of my toy shelf.I still have a few figures to add and now I'll definitely have the space to do that.

    Wow, that is some collection that you've got going! I've never seen those award winners before, looks like that would've been an expensive set when new.

    There was a TRU price tag on the side of the box,$34.99.I got this one for less than half that price.Most are In the $15 - $30 range on ebay.

    Thanks Fuji.Its a cool little set.I didnt show it but on the sides and back of the box are lists of both AL and NL Mvps,Roys and Cy Young award winners starting with the very first players to win the awards up to 1990.A great little bit of history for kids and adults alike.

    Very cool. Never seen those Award Winners before. Are the figures permanently stuck to the base or can they be removed?

The other day ,my better half and I had the chance to traverse our local mall early In the day.I hate going to malls at peak hours or on the weekends.The crowds are just too damn cool for me.Long story short,our mall now has a toy store! I couldn't believe my eyes.From a far It looked like It was going to be some artsy fartsy place with educational toys ,wooden blocks and model kits,but no!This place had pretty much everything collectors go for nowadays.The name of the store Is "Go!,Toys and Games" and I can honestly say that I've never heard of It before.Everything was a dollar or two extra ,but that's not too bad considering how ridiculously expensive modern toys are In hobby and toy shops these days.I really hope this place sticks around. There Is a nice mix of everything.Marvel Legends,Star Wars  to blind bags to Funko figs.On top of that there are tons of board games   and books. WTF? Yes! 3 3/4 Marvel Legends!!!!!Not alot thou

My last "Merry Christmas To Me" post was going to be of Marvel Legends Spider-Man animated cartoon series figure that I thought I was getting a great deal on. It turns out the figure was a bootleg. $30 down the drain and a fake Spider Man figure in the trash. I didn't even bother trying to get a refund from the seller. I'll chalk it up to a loss and keep it moving. So today I figured I'd  treat myself to something dope in the toy aisles at my local Walmart and found this!  I'm not sure if this is a reissue or what but It was the last one on the pegs and so I grabbed it. Now I can't get that damned theme song out of my head.
