That's wild...I briefly looked for matching numbers for these older Kimchis but I knew it was going to be futile at this point. But yeah, as long as a release came as a one click, I'll never buy mismatching numbers.

Second submission for the Treasure Hunter award. Total: 29 @extantsrevenge My Blufans collection Hulk x3 Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 1 x3 Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 x4 Thor Ragnarok x3 Black Panther x4 Avengers Infinity War x4 Spider-Man Homecoming x3 Captain Marvel x2 Avengers Endgame x2 Iron Man x1

Thanks buddy! Don't go too far tho. I've got the Blufans (25) photo coming in hot. WeET not too far behind it. 😎

Thanks dude! Still chipping away at my backlog but will eventually be 100% complete.

😉

Well I'll be damned...I didn't know this was a thing and I just checked. Sure enough both editions say Exclusive #9 Just cross checked and this was actually Exclusive #8. So which one is rare? The correct # or the wrong #?

Finally got my last piece for this award. (Thor lenticular) @extantsrevenge

Added a shelf and got a few new pickups. Before: After:

Oh dude...my OCD is real. I know exactly the feeling of nice finishes getting micro scratches and swirls like that. Even just wiping dust off can leave some minor ones. That's why ANYTHING I take the wrapper off is going directly into a sleeve. I also wear white gloves any time I handle them. stop using inappropriate language...I'm even incredibly careful when I pull slips out of the one click boxes. Maintaining pristine condition is an art. Lol

Thanks dude! I am very proud of it. It's a fulfilling hobby. My TOP targets are the Blufans Doctor Strange, the Novamedia Age of Ultron, and the Novamedia Avengers. All one clicks. However, they're a fortune in the aftermarket so in the meantime, I'm aiming a little lower. So I'd like to finish off the KimchiDVD series. All I'm missing there are the Captain America OCs. Then I'd like to finish Novamedia. This is where I'm sitting with those:

Haha, thanks!

I myself am torn on the aesthetic of protective sleeves. I do like the idea of my collection not getting dusty. And I do like the bit of uniformity it adds to everything. But on the other hand, it takes away from the textures and fine details of each piece.

Behold, my stuff. Since this photo, I've updated my shelves by adding another row in there. Everything else will be organized the same but the new row will display some of my loose slips. Just waiting on a few deliveries to take an updated photo. 😎

Oh thanks dude! And this is the first time I'm seeing your collection displayed! Masterfully curated bro! Hats off to you for real.

All that tells me is you're missing more than you've collected. It is a nice collection tho! I'm playing 😉

Today seems like a good day to do it, honestly. I mean, yesterday already happened so can't do that. Tomorrow hasn't happened yet, so can't do that. Yeah...today works perfectly.

When do we get the 2nd stage of this award?

Finally got some Doctor Strange Premiums. One Click

Give it a quick check now. I believe there are some Plat openings left...

Hey buddy! Not sure how long you've been here but glad you are here! Collecting steels and premiums is a lot of fun and this community makes it all the better! To give you a little insight this is how my experience went. Upon the first opening of tiered memberships, I was able to get Gold. When the next cycle rolled around--at the time it was in 12-month intervals--I was able to upgrade to Platinum. This is not to imply any degree of likelihood but just the possibility based on how it worked out for me back when I joined a few years ago. But if I've learned anything here, it's that missed opportunities are unforgiving. If you want something, you've gotta keep your ear to the ground and keep a pulse on the things you're after. The good news is, the kind people here are all incredibly thoughtful and willing to help. Just make sure you do your part and follow topics so you get notifications, check threads like this so you're informed, etc. I hope this has been helpful. See you around!

So when is Stage 2 going to start? 😎 I'm already ready already!

Love it! And thank you for the dedicated photo. Mine was just a screen-grab from the collection photo above. 🍻

Yeah that makes sense. If the next award is for 25, I already have that. There are 25 in total. The top 2 rows are all OCs. (Except the duplicate Blufans Avengers IW.) Three of them are Filmarena Hardboxes, and on the 3rd row, the two Filmarena Maniac's boxes. For the loose edition OCs, those are all on the bottom right. I can pull them out and take a separate photo for you if you need. They are: WeET Spider-Man: Far From Home (x4) WeET Captain America: Civil War (x3) Novamedia Captain America: Civil War (x3) Novamedia Avengers: Age of Ultron (x2) Novamedia Ant-Man (x2) Blufans Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 1 (x3) All matching numbers as a proper One Click, too. 😎 EDIT: I forgot this photo was taken before I received the KimchiDVD Iron Man and Spider-Man: Homecoming. That makes the number 27.

Thank you! And to be accurate, there are more than 14 OCs there. Let me know if you want better proof. I.e. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 1 that had a shoebox but not the standard kind. Or the Novamedia and WeET releases that had no box but all the editions wrapped together.
