Ramen Pride! posted:I saw the Rocket and Nova figures at Target today. The ones with Groot's head and arm in the packeages. I passed them up because I am apparently stupid. I got home and had a moment of clarity, and dashed back to the Target only to find someone had purchased them, leaving the shelves full of Draxes, Starlords, Gamoras, and ...Iron Man? You might have better luck looking in a Disney store. I found the whole set there and then some last week. I ended up passing on all of them because it the insane mark up though.

I ended up buying the ROM Mugg as well as the Thanos Imperative set. Right after I told myself no more toys for the rest of the year. I might have a problem.

I just ran across a Nova at a boutique store for $25. I'll run back and pick him up if anyone wants him for that price plus shipping.

Vintersorg posted:Got a major figure in today from SH MonsterArts line and it appears its now OOP (the guy who does the motion movies with the line reported that once these are gone thats it and the price has already jumped to $200 from $150 which was up from $110). This is an old post but I was looking at the SH Monsterarts line and it looks like their most recently announced figure is Mecha King-Ghidorah. Goddamn them.

The Hotline Miami guys just launched a Kickstarter to make a 1/6 scale Jacket figure. Looks pretty cool, and it'll cost $85, which isn't too bad. The only real downside is that the company making the figures has only really done artsy vinyl stuff before this, so this is quite different from their previous work.

I think I'm going in at $85, just missed out on the deal with the sequel and the figure =\ I want to go in for the recolor, but I can't bring myself (Or convince the wife) that $200 would be worth putting into a Kickstarter for a figure.

I was considering it, but the thing that stopped me was "15 points of articulation". That's... pretty god damned low for a 1/6th scale figure.

Just out of curiosity, how are Sideshow's figures packaged?

Normally it's in a box, with a 3 section plastic multi level "bay" sort of setup. The bottom is the base and display arm, the middle is the figure and the extra hands, etc, and the top is just a lid to make the whole thing into a plastic box that fits in the sideshow box. Sometimes if there's a big accessory they pop it in the bottom of the box. My Zod cape was in the lower section with the base in it's own little triangular cape case.

All of the Walgreens around me got full displays of the Legends Infinite Series Agent Venom in stock today. 8 per display. I went down to the corner Walgreens and the manager let me buy the whole display but I just bought the only two that didn't have wonky paintjobs. The white lines are all over the place on some of them. There's a Walgreens a couple miles away that were limiting them to one per customer so YMMV. This is an awesome figure btw.

Stopped by a new local shop toy/collectable shop. Kinda small mix of new and old. A lot of stuff you'd find clearanced out a like Target or walmart. After awhile of looking and the clerk asking me if I needed help like 10 times, I felt really awkward and figured I should get somethIng, so I saw a minimates ghostbusters set I didn't have behind the counter. It was reasonably priced, looked at it quick due to small talk with the cashier. I didn't get a receipt, wtf I need that for. I get it home, take it out of the bag and well here ya go. I'm a moron, and feel too stupid to take it back:(

That Hotline Miami figure just looks so cheap. Like a basic model with horrible clothing. The heads are unique I suppose but the rest looks so cheap. The heads are way too far apart.

Matty sent out a bunch of emails explaining that apparently even after being open for an entire month or more they did not meet their quotas for the MOTUC subscriptions so they're extending the date. I'd say this is all fabricated bullshit but they did pull all the other previous lines which didn't make it.

Yeah I know, I'm still waiting for them to re-issue OG Zodac with the gloveless hands and monster feet. They've been re-issuing everything else under the sun that was supposed to be single run only, but they've really touched nothing from the first or second year of the line which did not fall under the single run only rules. I mean I've got Zodak and the TRU two pack Zodac that came with Green Lantern, but it's not the same.

Holy poo poo, for the first time in years Wizard World Chicago had an amazing vendor selection and I found tons of poo poo I wanted. Only bought a handful of things though, already blew my load in Artist Alley. Edit: I've wanted one of these for nearly 15 years

So, I know there is a transformers thread, but you guys scare me over there, so, what is the difference between this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-Transfo...=item3f38c0e01f and the one that is twice as expensive at TRU? I've noticed china seems to have a bunch of stuff like this with transformers, minimates, and MOTUC stuff. I just ordered the neca turtles from there and they looked fine. so, yeah.

You won't be able to tell the difference from the original unless you really know your poo poo though so don't worry about it too much and the price is right so get it if you want it.
