DSA Toy Theater.

If you are looking for a good pic editor there are two that come to mind they are great and free. Blender and GIMP. Both are awesome and free.

Today I also got the IFV (Infantry fighting vehicle), now I just need to get a few of the Heli's, and a good graphics proggy to do it up right, as I think it truly deserves.

As soon as this hateful "Holiday" season is over with I should be able to do more, as my job now has me working until 11:30pm, and I'm just too tired to do anything after that time, at least for now.

I just want to do this right, and not just half ass it. You guys are the best, and deserve the best, as I love you all. :D

I got the parachute trooper, and rest site the other day. I can't wait to get this going !!!.

Take care and God bless,

Des.

P.S. I gotta thank the wife for the IFV. We only had one left, so she bought it for me, for the DSA, as I don't get paid until Friday. Thank you my dearest !. Luv ya !

[Deslock]

I checked on Amazon to see if they had some of the vehicles we haven't gotten in yet, and this is outright thievery !!!! :

[ame="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0006N8WUG/ref=olp_product_details?ie=UTF8&me=&seller="]Amazon.com: Power Team Elite: Military Tank: Toys & Games[/ame]

This jackhole is selling the tank I just bought for $97.00 !!!!!

Guys, I bought this very tank tonight for $25.00.

I can fully understand wanting to make a profit, but that is just utterly revolting !

[Deslock]

Thank you RaTix and Rage !!!! :D

And thank you Eagle for your kind offer. I will check into what you and Rage proposed about setting up a Paypal account. But I really don't mind buying everything for this project personally, it just means I can only buy a few at a time. . Which makes it take longer.

Good news Everyone;

I GOT THE TANK !!!!! YaYYYY !!!! :D :D :D, and a few new figs and props.
And I'm building an MCOM station. And I have a LOT of figures repaired and outfitted, and ready to go.

Now when this terrible "holiday" weekend is finally over with, I should have some new piccys up, and being able to upload them to the DSA site will be a Godsend. :D

[RaTix]

Try to upload again in the member's category. Should be able to upload 10mb max now.

[RageProphetXIII]

Des send me your email in a pm. I'll get you a box account with 50gigs of online storage. Free for life.

Hey RaTix, is there any way I could upload these piccy's to the DSA site ?. My 'Bucket is getting close to full. I tried uploading the pics to the site, but the warning says the pic size is too large to upload.

I don't want to get to the point where everything is going great, but then have to stop 'cause my 'Bucket is full, and I can't post anymore pictures. I'd prefer to have a way to keep them on the DSA site, if only just to keep them private; and just for us alone.

The rez on the first pics were kinda high at 5mb. I've since rezzed them down to 1mb, but the piccy quality is kinda shit, but still workable and viewable on JPEG format.

Damn. I had no idea those old toys were worth so much money. I should've kept them instead of all these goddamn baseball cards I've been lugging around and storing for the last 10 years :/

[EagleOne]

Still waiting for an address and what item is needed Des.....

[Deslock]

One of the sets I'm waiting for us to get in stock is a complete Battlefield command post that's about 3 stories tall in 1/18th scale. What's cool about these figures is that they are damn near perfect for representing BF3, as almost every vehicle they make is in BF3; right down to the Flanker, the A-10, and both versions of the IFV.

The line I'm using is "Power Team Elite-World Peacekeepers"; and I'm truly amazed at the level of detail on even the accessories. Hell, they even have the "Tugs". They do have a website, but it's not done yet.
You'd think that going into the dreaded holiday season, they'd have it up and running by now at least.

But hopefully it will be done soon so I can buy the figures there that I can't find in stores.

To my dismay I discovered that a lot of my figures have aged over time, so I had to make a trip to Lowes for replacement rubber "O" rings for those that have dried out and broken. But after almost 25-30 years, that's only to be expected.
So the other day I spent a few hours doing "surgery" on them, and making them whole again. :D

Also to my horror, I found out that my ex-father in law gave away my mint Cobra "Terrordrome" that I had in storage at his house.
Just take a look at the replacement price :

I swear I could've sat down and cried. But that's what happens when you leave your shit at other people's houses. I don't have anyone to blame but myself.
Thank God I have my 70's Death Star set that I treasure that a very kind friend bought for me as a Christmas gift.

A word to the wise friends, DO NOT LET OTHER PEOPLE BORROW YOUR MOVIES, BOOKS, OR VIDEO GAMES !!!! unless you are literally willing to trust them with your very life, and they know implicitly how much they mean to you, and that you will kill them (or at least beat them badly ) if they lose them.

When my family moved to South Carolina in 1977, we could only take very little at first actually with us, so we boxed up a lot of stuff and left it at my Grandmothers house for safe keeping until we could come back for them. After a couple of years my Granny tired of all the boxes in the garage, and WITHOUT informing us with a phone call ahead of time, just gave them away to the Salvation Army.

In one of those boxes she just gave away contained all of my vintage Star Trek models and Mego Action Figures, G.I. Joes (the large really expensive ones ) and all of my Micronauts, and much much more.

To try and replace all that I lost in that one damn box would now literally cost me thousands of dollars. No joke. . All she saw in that box was a bunch of old "toys", so she thought they were "meaningless", and not worth anything.

Just watch "Toyhunter" on the travel channel. "Meaningless" my ass....

Do not leave what you really and truly value and treasure with other people.

This has been a really expensive lesson I have learned. Learn from my mistake and DO NOT do it.

Use the Force Des!

[Deslock]

Sorry I haven't gotten more done lately guys, but my hours jumped from 18 hrs. to 40 due to the holidays...wallet says "YaY" !!! :D

And also my wife has been very sick, and I've had to take care of her hand and foot, which is perfectly okay with me, she is my dear friend and companion and she needs me. But it does eat up my time.

But the show will go on !!!! :D

Jus' keep an eye out for dose dastardly "fidgets".."Hic" ;)

Much mayhem and merriment will commence soon !, I promise !. Just wait and see.

Now I just have to find a way to pose the Helicopters in the air somehow without any strings or posts showing.... ;)

[APAT]

Nice work on the new stuff Des. Those sets look damn good.

I was wondering how long it would take for knifeboy to show up...lol

[EagleOne]

Send me an address and find what you need on amazon, I can help you out on that front.

[RageProphetXIII]

Des put up a pay pal buddy so if we would like to we could donate to the cause. Also I come across some toys here and there so let me know if you are looking for something I can try to get my hands on some. I also have a buddy who has tons of model toys I might be able to get some landscapes or so. They might be pretty big so I could take pictures and you can green screen them in or we could figure how to get them to you..... Long shot but we could do something like that.
