I think the only way to settle this dispute is to have a Super Top Trumps battle between Veers and Czarcher.

If things are that bad, then they could be remedied just as easily by keeping hard feelings to oneself or, if it's bad enough, use of the Ignore feature--and understand, I never suggest the latter unless it's a last resort. I don't want to see this board turn into a bicker-fest, and I think most, if not all, of the board's membership would agree with me.

the idea of collecting one million muscles just isn't practical and i think people already made this point. its really a waste of money and time and your life really, why even have a collection in the thousands unless you intend to sell. its best to only have a few complete sets and be content. if you have thousands upon thousands of muscles than some of them could be customized, or better yet paint a complete set that would rule, otherwise there really no point in this quest

you can chalk this thread to being a nice thought but that's about it.

I don't recall how I dug up this thread, but it's eerily similar to one direction the topic at hand has gone in. Sheesh!

HAHAHA! It's amazing to see how much has changed (Chibi Riya and Chibi Mars [Knuxiechan]) and how much hasn't (Tortle's take on Veers is still spot on).

Great stuff bro, I almost forgot that whole saga.

A lot of drama on this TOY forum.

I wasn't around for that one. But it was a pretty hilarious read, much like the Alan Mask saga that was also recently brought up...

Yup.

[Universal Ruler Supreme]

Funny...I always had assumed that Veers became a mod as soon as he joined.

The easiest way to get the volume and weight of a million muscles is easy. I have a few cubed curtain bag that curtains were bought in....of course. I have a nearly complete set in them. If I had a complete set in there, I could just measure the bags dimensions, then weight them on my scale and then devide 1 million by it. Then multiply that by the weight.....right? Pretty easy.

I think you might have mistyped here. But you have the general idea.

1) First, you should weigh the bag when it's empty.
2) Then weigh the bag with the 236 MUSCLEs.
3) Take that weight, subtract the bag's weight, then divide by 236. That will give you the average weight per MUSCLE.
4) That value times 1,000,000 will give you the weight of 1,000,000 MUSCLEs (assuming equal numbers of each MUSCLE).

Similar calculations for volume will work, too. But to do it accurately, you'll probably have to measure the volume by water displacement.

Ok goobers...

585 MUSCLEs, weigh 8 lbs

They fit into a box with the inner dimensions of 10.75 x 8.5 x 5.75 inches.

You can use those numbers for your calculations.

I came up with these numbers.

1 Million M.U.S.C.L.E.s would:

- weigh 13,675 lbs
- take up 898130.3419 cubic inches, which converted, is 519.7514 cubic feet.

That is as much weight as 100 small women (137 lbs) or 50 tall and fat men (273 lbs, or me + 30 lbs).
That is much volume as an 8x8x8 storage shed.

So unless my calculations are errant, that is a shizznitload of M.U.S.C.L.E.s !

[FANtomCore]

packing on the muscle is always going to add more weight

Just to avoid confusion, 1 million Sunshine Arches would weigh signifcantly more than 1 million Skulldugaryies!
Don't fret, there is no need to worry. If Mattel simplified there numbers by stating they are MILLIONS o U.S.C.L.E. rather than calling them 12.345M.U.S.C.L.E. meaning 12.345 Million of Unusual Small Creatures Lurking Everywhere! there is no reason we should do what they avoided.

P.S. Great work on the numbers!

Wouldn't that be 100 small women, and 50 fat guys?

Doh! Fixed it.

[Universal Ruler Supreme]

Well Jeez! I'd hate to have to build a 8X8X8 toolshed to shuv 50 fat guys in!

I'd rather build a 1000x1000x1000 harem.. I mean condo for the 100 women.

[dankingery]

1000' high? you doing some crazy acrobatics shizznit urs?

[Universal Ruler Supreme]

Gotta have room for the 1000 foot statue of me.

Was planning on multi stories too, gotta always prepare for expansion of an enterprise.

Crud man, there would be room for a Zoo, museum, park, offices, a river, dinosaurs, you name it, they would never have to leave.

I don't believe anything more can be added to this thread.

p.s. posting a picture of someone with his son and calling him a douche is pretty low.

You've obviously have never crossed paths with 'Veers'
Plus,I think he gets off on it.

What I should have said is that nothing relevant can be added to this thread.

[TOPHER]

O.K. so lets get back on track. .
So Czarcher,how many M.u.s.c.l.e.
have ya got so far for yer 1M quest.

I'm at around 8,000+ ,I haven't been collecting
much M.u.s.c.l.e.s in the past year or so,
got into collecting MIMP for a while now.
My Master M.u.s.c.l.e. set is about 1451+ off hand.

[Jet-Mech]

I'm at around 8,000+

8,000+ MUSCLEs? Wanna sell some?

[Czarcher]

Plus,I think he gets off on it.

Nope, it's just that nothing you could do or say would ever bother me. You're like a sad, adult Alan Mask.

Don't know what you're talking about.
You are a pathetic terd who should be kicked off this forum,just like yer buddy Arforbes.
