HEAVENS NO! I Think we might have to postpone saving OutRider and rescue Destro! LOL!

Not strictly Joe, but I finally bought the full version of Adobe PhotoShop Creative Suite 4. Give me a little while to play around with it and I'll be using it for my Joedios pics rather than the limited PhotoDeluxe I've been using all these years.

I got home from work today to find the newly-released Masterpiece Grimlock waiting for me! I took a few very quick and dirty pictures and put them in the "Photos" section for those who are interested in that sort of thing... This is, in my opinion, the best Masterpiece figure of all (and I say that with all due respect to my favorite Autobot, Optimus Prime)!

I was in Houston for work today and had my wife Google toy stores. I wanted to find some old Joes and I hit the jackpot. They had tons of stuff, from all different toy lines. I got a loose airtight (no gear) but they had a complete one, a near mint sonic figher Dialtone (complete, I think), a bomb disposal unit, the fuel tank think from the FLAGG, a clone SCUBA trooper, some Star Wars radar screens, and a really cool Gundam figure. They had a near complete WHALE, but I would have blown all I had to spend on it. It was a hundred dollars even, and I really wanted it. I decided to get several smaller thinks instead of one big think. BTW, they had a complete headquarters, an unopened BUGG, a Dragonfly (150$), Slugger, and bunches of other figures, in the box and out. If you are gonna be in Houston for any reason, you should check the place out. It was called Third Planet. They are going online in the near future, according to the guys there.

new joes
 

not too much in yet. everything is going at a canter for me.
however I was able to trade with Goldbug here and get these.


Brawler is in great condition and lift ticket I acquired from another friend in a trade on cool n cosmic. :)
Thanks to Christian for the Sniper Weapons and the big brawler figure. :cool:

Too long and paid too much, but I FINALLY got my 2007 Convention StarDuster! Now I have both Jet pack Troopers from the 2007 Con! :D

Ehh, don't worry Marcos, it ain't going to happen. I haven't been able to get Photoshop CS4 to load properly. I thought it was just Vista, but to be sure I contacted Adobe with the details of the problem only to be told by them that the disc I bought in good faith is a pirated copy. So now I have to go through Paypal to try for a refund from the seller, who has a lot to risk by being exposed as a software pirate - which will get him kicked off eBay at the very least. I'll give him one thing though - he is a professional, the disc looks absolutely real, including the packaging, which was shrink sealed and all.

Thats very odd that he managed to shrink seal it.
Maybe adobe is wrong?
