okay, the title is just a joke. I couldn't resist so don't kill or start hating. I'm posting pictures in the next 10 minutes. This is not a review. Just what I recently stumbled upon.

Name: Construction Playset
Location: CVS Pharmacy
Price: $20

OMG, you get TONS of cool stuff for only $20! The crane is the same like the one I previously reviewed BUT it's not remote controlled. You manually move it, which is not bad at all. It makes post-production work a lot easier if you're doing a stop motion animated short. I believe the crane turret rotates manually and the knob behind the canopy rotates thus, operating the pulley system.

Back of the box. Lots of cool stuff happening!

The Front Loader is the magic of this set for me. I already have the crane although this one is a variant since it's not remote controlled and I still look forward to checking out the crane. But what I really want is the Front Loader and yes it fits 1:18 scale figures like GI JOE.
Image

The Front Loader is so freaking cool. I just love the bright orange and the orange on the wheels. The scoop is manually functional. I've developed a warm appreciation for toys that may not be so detailed yet are compatible with 1:18 scale figures. I want that Front Loader now!
Image

I'll be getting this set soon. Very soon and I'll post a review (and hopefully a video review). In the meantime, enjoy these pictures.

Also, feel free to check out and/or revisit "The Mother of Cheap Toys/1:18 Dio Pieces" here:

P.S. It's a good thing this set wasn't $30 cause then I definitely wouldn't buy it. $20 is reasonable and fair IMHO.

These are worth of Special effects in a Troma Film... and I think that's about it.

I'll have to check CVS. I wouldn't mind adding these to spice up some Dios.
Thanks.
