Ah, did not know there was a strike going on. Haven't been paying much attention to the news but you think something like that would get mentioned a bit.

Sounds like my Walmarts and targets. Well I mean my stores have some stuff, just nothing I care about. If you want TMNT, How To Train Your Dragon, or WWE stuff, that poo poo is overflowing. Marvel, Star Wars, or Transformers? Empty pegs.

I got Figma Samus Aran for my birthday, and the balljoint on her right arm doesn't seem to want to pop into place no matter how hard I push it in. I even tried putting some dish soap on it to make it slide into place. It will barely hold in place being sunk around 51% into its socket, while the left arm is 100% in. Has anyone else had similar issues, and what can be done? Do I have to drill?

Soak the socket in hot, not boiling water. That should let it stretch. You may have been making the fit worse by folding the edge inward as you pushed, effectively making the hole even smaller.

So I went to the Target here in Springfield, Oregon to check for a Thomas train my daughter wants (speaking of, I'll buy any engines any of you have if you don't want them) and I was surprised to see the whole set of the Marvel Legends Avengers wave sitting on the shelf, every figure accounted for. I grabbed Hawkeye and Scarlet Witch since those were the only two I wanted. I don't want or need the BAF pieces for Odin if anybody's interested in them. SW comes with Odin's head, spear and cape and Hawkeye comes with his main body.

 How's the Scarlet Witch figure look in person? That's the one I'm most interested in, honestly. Haven't seen hide nor hair of any shipments here as of this weekend, but maybe soon ...!

Hit up your local Meijer's, they have 50% off clearance. I scored the ML Winter Soldier series Red Skull for $7.49. For some reason nobody has started marking down the Spider-man series yet.

 New HT Cap from Avengers 2. Looks pretty cool. Kinda not digging the costume though, it's just... busy. Still, since it's a mix of the stealth suit and the cap suit from the first movie, it's still pretty badass. Apparently he will also have magnetic hands and a metal shield!

Symptoms of forums cancer include: -A disturbing avatar that informs the user that they are infected -Light text that darkens when you put the cursor over the post -Redirection to a Ponyta flash video if you try and post outside of RFA Someone infected with forums cancer can buy chemo for $6.95.

Edit-- when is ML Valkyrie supposed to hit Walgreens? My local Walgreens are overflowing with Agent Venoms so I'm not particularly worried about not being able to find one.

I'd like to get the Ares, and my local Target has had a Grim Reaper sitting on a peg for months. Hmm. The Rage posted:Shes still a rumor at this point, nobody has confirmation that Walgreens is getting that wave Maybe I read that rumor somewhere and took it as fact for some reason. I'm fine with it, I just don't live conveniently close to one. I do work near one, but it's an odd city Walgreens store that carries zero toys.

I had those on my Amazing Spider-Man 2 and it's so much better than fiddling with hands and ripping them off. I know I almost hosed up my Joker 89 when changing hands and some of the cloth got hosed. There is some gaps that im sure might be more visible with skin but from a distance it'll be fine.
