So I got the three pack today. They also had another 3 pack, but instead of Ms Marvel in it, it had Madame Masque. Was this a variant, or did someone just switch out Ms Marvel and bring it back?

Somebody definitely switched it out.

Yep, they got scammed.

e: Oh look, a next page. Anyway, the new Marvel Legends arrived in the mail today... still not a fan of Cap's masked head having the zero-g mohawk instead of the more recent "mane" look.

Definitely swapped. Did you get it for $25?

Yep, was $25. Wish they had that shadow squadron, but their star wars stuff was pretty bare. Anyone see those on their clearance aisles?

They also had the new hawkeye and sentry, but someone had hidden them in another aisle by the rasslin figures. I still think Sentry is a terrible character, and this one looks worse than the old toy biz one, so I passed on them.

I'm starting to go nuts with the lack of stock at my local Target and TRU, holy poo poo. :psyduck: I really should've preordered Scarlet Witch and Capt Marvel online or something. At this rate I feel like they'll never turn up locally.

I haven't seen any sign of them in the Dallas area either. I would imagine they working their way inland from the coasts right now, so we should be seeing some stuff pop up in the next couple of weeks. All the Hasbro stuff as been barren since Christmas around here due to those dock strikes.



Got the Sideshow R2D2 in yesterday though, that thing is amazing! The hilt of the lightsaber (which fits into a spring loaded compartment at the top of his dome) has a magnet on the end to also be used to open up various other compartments and doors on his body. The drink serving tray looks great and I am looking forward to having him set up and serving beverages to all the clones!

I was about to post a bunch of my stuff in the B/S/T thread, but it appears to be archived? I guess we need to be more proactive there. Anyway, after seeing what that darth maul was going for, I dug out a bunch of my stuff to throw up on ebay. I figure I'd give you guys first shot at things (I would like to get around average ebay price minus whatever I'd pay in ebay fees, just don't want people getting stuff for cheap and then flipping, you know, human nature and stuff.)

Star Wars Black Series 6"

Darth Maul: Loose, complete.
Darth Maul: MOC
R2D2

Marvel Legends: (All MOC, some cards may not be mint)

AOA Sunfire

Apocalypse series (Toy Biz)

Maestro

Ares Series:

Human Torch
Iron Man (x 2)
Kang
Guardian
Scarlet Spider
War Machine (X 2)

Brood Series:

Bucky
Black Knight

Epic Heroes

Deadpool (gray and black)

Modok Series:

Spiderwoman Variant Blue costume

Spiderman Origins:

Demogoblin

Red Hulk series

Black costume Spiderman

Face Off

Logan and Forge
Ultimate Nick Fury and Ultimate Cap
Mr. Fantastic and Thing

Mattel Movie Masters:

Heath Ledger Joker (has a badly scratched off price tag covering his face)
Gotham thug

MOTUC (MIB)

Evil Lyn w/ white box
Filmation Hordak w/ brown box


Minimates (MIB)

Hulk Movie

Battle Damaged Hulk and General Ross
Emil Blonsky and Abomination
Hulk and Bruce Banner

DC

Guy Gardner and Kilowog
Shazam! and Mary Marvel
Hawkman and Hawkgirl

Green Lantern and Star Sapphire

Supergirl and Bizarro
Stargirl and S.T.R.I.P.E.

Steel and Cyborg Superman
Wildcat and Golden age Flash


I've probably got more Marvel Legends this was just my first box with stuff. I've also got a very large lot of Minimates and DCUC to go through next.




Also a few things for which I'm looking:

Star Wars Black Series Shadow Squadron MOC and Biker Scout loose (target)
Star Wars Hoth Biker Scout set
Star Wars Vintage (1983) Biker Scout MOMC
POTF2 MIB Biker Scout w/ speeder
MOTUC Spirit of Hordak
Transformers Masterpiece Wheeljack

Any other obscure biker scout stuff.

Probably more stuff, I've made lots of trades around here.

Edit for picture of stuff totally not for sale. Kind of funny with my sentry hate to have him front and center up top here.

I know more recent posts indicate they were all gone, but if you do run across them send me a PM because I'd be 100% down for this. Better than paying $45 on Amazon or whatever. :suicide: I'm debating if I want to go out and try again today or not. There is a comic shop that sometimes gets action figures in that's had a Hope Summers figure lying around for months now, and I am tempted to at least snag that. (I could just get her online, but ... ehh. Why wait?)

I feel for the striking dockworkers and I reckon their pay negotiations are more important than me getting or not getting some painted plastic, but this is still frustrating as hell.

I know this objectively. I think it's just because I was so excited when they were announced in the first place. Even though I know I'll get them sooner or later it feels like I shoulda had them by now. Which is stupid, because it doesn't matter. :negative: And yet ...

My local Target finally got a shipment! :woop: They were out of everybody but Hawkeye, but I wanted him anyway. Midwesterners and anyone in northern Illinois, stuff has finally begun to arrive here. I was at Target to get groceries anyway so that was a nice surprise despite how much was already sold out. (Or just not out yet? Who knows.)

of course this happens the same day I gripe about it.

I think Hawkeye's the one it comes with 2 of. It was probably like one guy grabbing the entire wave.

I ordered both the ladies last week, but my Scarlet Witch still says "not shipped" so I think I lost the order game on her. Weird that they haven't cancelled it yet though.

I went to the local Toy R Us yesterday and it seems like they briefly had the line in, since the Sentry figure was still there. No interest in him so I left him there.

Does anyone think there's a chance they'll do a green and yellow repaint of the new Iron Fist figure? I'd much rather have that version, since that's what he wore in the Immortal Iron Fist series, but even the white and gold is a big improvement over his classic costume, and the new figure looks better than the Toy Biz version anyway.

The new figure is incredible, I hope they do a green and yellow version too but its magnificent. Really one of the gems of this wave.

Man, the new Play Arts Kai Final Fantasy figures look really cool. Why oh why do they have to retail for 100 bucks each? The price for Play Arts stuff is really through the roof, which is too bad considering how nice some of their recent stuff is.

It is also pretty absurd that Play Arts in general are completely out of scale with everything else. But man, do I want those new FF figures

Has anyone ever ordered from Kolektacon dot com? They're one of the few sites i've come across that are still taking pre-orders for Sen-ti-nel's One Piece Ace figure. I see that they do the amiami thing with pre-orders which you have to pay in full or 50% deposit, BUT they can't calculate any type of shipping rate even though they ship from the US. I'm debating on whether or not I should just take the risk and secure a pre-order because this figure is god drat amazing.

Looking at that prototype, I wish Hasbro would give double jointed elbows for females another shot. I think their current couple of female bucks are fantastic, but I wish their arms could come up more than 90° at the elbow.
