And some more stuff on clearance. ~$15 for that huge ship from Black Adam. Eilif has great pics a few pages back.

Amazon also is carrying some really cool Bandai stuff now but that's a longer post.

EDIT

Another item of possible interest

A blank wooden castle/dollhouse 12" on a side and openable. Possible way to make a cheap but decent city wall by lining them up in the open way. I also like that they would be easy to store... Or just one to use in a siege type game. It would need a lot of work, but looks like a good cheap starting point.

Michael's (and other craft stores) also have some interesting unpainted birdhouses for about $10 and they sell packs of them if you need to fill a table fast.

They'll need paint and greebles and whatever but if you need terrain cheap and fast this is an option.

As mentioned in another thread...

The first Rebel Moon-Moon of Rebellion merch is out!

https://www.walmart.com/ip/Netflix-Exclusive-Rebel-Moon-Dropship-Bowl/5066049746




A popcorn bowl!

Which is also a 28mm scale drop ship!

I hear of them going for $4 if you're near a Wal Mart.

I don't, so I had to shell out $14 on Ebay.

Dang it, I didn't need another ship, but of course I just ordered one. The seller on eBay still has a bunch for 14 bucks shipped.

That's pretty cool.
The shows a steaming pile of poo, but at least it's spawned a neat looking dropship toy.

Mine arrived. I bought from the $14-Shipped eBay seller.

Stargrave figure for scale. Only flaws I see are that it's very back heavy (will need some weight in the nose) and the screw holes on the starboard side are rather large, but nothing deal breaking.

Still night be one of this year's great Terrain bargains and that building in an interior is possible is icing on the cake.

the bottom shot looks like a bug stuck on its back... poor little guy.
the landing gear are probably the weakest part of an otherwise cool piece. it IS a popcorn bucket though after all.

Yeah, the landing geat balance (though I kind of like the look) is weird. You'd think they'd want a popcorn bowl to sit solidly when set down.

Are they definitely at Walmarts? I tried looking on Walmart's website and they were going for $24

I don't think they are regularly stocked at Wal-Mart stores anymore. Maybe there are some somewhere but I didn't find any at my Walmart. The one I bought for $14 shipped from Ebay ( https://www.ebay.com/itm/116074336608 ) had a $15 Wal-Mart price tag and the seller has a ton of them , so my guess is the seller bought alot of them at much lower price (Perhaps the $4 KidKyoto mentioned) at clearance and is reselling them.

All I know is some guy on Facebook said he got it for $4 at Walmart. But I am fine with $14, especially after seeing pics

I'm sure it's something like that for this seller. They must have been bought for a pretty low price to be worth selling at $14 shipped, a price I was also equally happy to pay.

Thanks. Got one off EBAY for $14... probably same seller. Your fault.

What glue do you use to adhere toys together? Half of the ships I made out of the Dollar Tree aliens have fallen apart.

Start with superglue, if that doesn't work, wash, sand and file the plastic to scrape off the waxy outer layer. If that doesn't work, green stuff and filing and sanding and superglue and cursing and doing it again and again.

I know the pain.

There is a loctite plastic glue and 2 part epoxies but I've not played with them.

Yet.

There's a coupleof recipes for home made activator I use water with baking powder dissolved into it but baking powder reallyhelpsit expands the surface area.

My brother just picked me up two rubbery plastic scorpions to use for Tomb Scorpions.In my Tomb Kings army, so i'm about to feel the pain of this myself. I'm honestly more worried about whether or not the primer or spray paint will stick to it.

This is always a variable for toys.

1. I prefer to work withb hard plastic polystyrene or ABS toys and solvent glue (usually MEK based) for the strongest bond. Usually I can tell almost by by touch whether this is the case. These sorts of hard plastic toys also take paint as well as any game model.

If you're not sure, a little drop of solvent on an inconspicuous area will usually tell you. If the plastic melts a bit you're good to go.

2. If it's a toy (usually a figure) made from a stiff vinyl, a gel superglue usually works fine. I assemble, convert and paint them the same way as I would a Reaper Bones figure

3. If the toy is made from a softer vinyl, or polypropylene (that often shiny or waxy looking, slightly flexible plastic often associated with toy soldiers) I'll always pause and decide whether it's going to be worth the effort.

A light sanding of the join surfaces will usually make the superglue join fairly well, but it will never be as sturdy as a nice solvent-driven fusing of two pieces of plastic. Likewise for painting, a good cleaning, light sanding and prime/base-coat with a plastic specific spray can (I like Krylon Fusion) can often work well, but will never be quite as sturdy as with hard plastic

4.For rubber toys I don't bother.

There are two-part superglue/primer sets that work fairly well on most plastics, like this. The primer is a pen-like affair that you paint on both parts before applying the glue.

I've also been having good results with 'oily glue' from Amazon, which based on googling appears to be made from polyurethane dissolved in an oily solvent. It's a bit slower to dry than superglue, but sticks to just about anything and is rock solid.

Ooh, I'm going to check out that Oily glue.
Thanks!

Thank you all for the suggestions. I’m going to try to get these things to stick.
