There's probably not much to show.  A good repair job should be invisible.  Here's a couple shots of how my Vulture arrived in the mail, now he just looks normal other than a couple of missing chips of feather.

My most frustrating repair job has been my Kitty Pryde custom.  Both of her legs broke a couple of times each, at the knee and hip/crotch.  I had to use a jeweler's drill to bore holes in either end of the break and insert pins to help bond it back together (it adds a lot of strength).  I didn't take any photos at the time, though, sorry.

Hey, and I found myself unexpectedly in San Mateo a few weeks ago and ventured into Lee's Comics.  Not a bad place, though I'm used to shops with a million toys & collectibles in them.

I received Scorpion this weekend.  Another winner for the Spider-Man enemies camp. Great sculpt and I love the gold accents in the green costume.  Other than the newer Doc Ock, I think this is the best bunch in the whole line (OK, I redid Rhino so he fits in better), and he's not all that bad.

Yay for Snowbird and Zabu!!

As for the broken sword, well I snapped my Warlock cane in two but thankfully my LCS exchanged it for me.

As for the mags, I really enjoy the witty and fun editions. I think they are a great addition to the figures. I've been framing the Byrne posters in the middle too. Anyone want to see?

I see they're going with the Jack O' Lantern Hobgoblin, or did they just decide to tatter the original's cloak?

Not sure.  The hood is too small too, IMO.

Agreed.

Dunno about War Machine.  Doesn't help that the character never really did it for me.
