I'm already anxious about where I'll put he Dragonfly.

I went into this knowing it would have to sit on top of my bookshelf.  I'm not prone to anxiety, but it is definitely getting its own wall-mount cable.

Can of Beams has a flight stand adapter for the Trubble Bubble that I can vouch for.

 
It's just a little plate that fits to the bottom of the Pod and has holes for plugging in a flight stand you already own, but it works pretty well.

Put the rest of the pieces on the VAMP last night and am still kinda baffled where to put the ammo crates for the turret (which I agree is a little weak, keeps popping off). Aside from those two nit-picks, I am mildly embarrassed at being a grown man who is in my office wanting play with a toy truck instead of work today.

Just got a eel  for 28 and change at aliexpress. They allow you only one. Then got more for 30 a piece. They have codes for 5 20 and 40 off with targets to hit to get them discounts. 

My vamp should be here tomorrow.  

That's about all the joe news I got.

@docsilence Mine just showed up to the point that I haven't even taken the truck out of the box yet, but this is what I did with mine:

Not sure if that's possible once on the vehicle itself or not, though.

I tried a few different set-ups, but I like this best.  The ammo boxes stay on the shelf rather nicely.  I was looking at the instructions and I don't see the that little shelf in the drawing.  To me, it looks like the cans are sitting on what would be the trunk.

BBTS let me down for the first time in a while.  They charged me for Techno Viper and Recondo, but no Scarlett or Duke.  I saw some posts on the Hisstank that they also arrived.

Yeah, that looks way better!

Eight down (I know, I know, I still need Breaker - can anyone help me with a cheap one? I don't care about the bike), five to go!

@tenime, heh. Looks like an escort mission to help Clutch get some gas.

It's a rough (Cobra) neighborhood.

Actually, you know who Clutch's face sculpt reminds me of?

It's funny, the instructions seem to imply that they rested on the back somehow, but I like using the tray that way (no idea what else to put there!). Gonna do that too.

Just wondering if you could update us when the Eel arrives.  On another board I frequent someone bought one as well and the discussion kind of agreed that it was a high quality KO.

The big giveaway was when they opened up the figure the locker box for the accessories said "Ell" instead of "Eel" and the pictures on the box were not as sharp as the Amazon exclusive version.

Also there are reports that the figure has joints that are a bit more loose than the original and the paint apps are not as sharp, especially around the face.

I'm tempted to get one as well, but I kind of want to hear other opinions before making a decision.

I didn't pay too close attention to the promo pics, but there's a difference between them and the back of the box and render. It's kind of like how Transformers are well known to have mis-transformations in their pics.
