And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him.

Anyone interested in a Classified collection? I’m done.

https://toyswonderland.com/products/hot-toys-avengers-endgame-rescue-mms538d32?_pos=1&_sid=078669164&_ss=r is one example but shipping from them is like $75.

KGHobby looks to be sold out of preorders.

TNS has free shipping but isn’t listing Rescue anymore.

I think this close to release you’re better off domestic. If you wait for post-release stock you might end up not being able to get one.

What is this thread's take on the Marvel United board game? They come with a bunch of figures and I really like the aesthetic of them. I wish I knew about these sooner, because the first Kickstarter, has a lot of cool figures in the stretch goals.

I read about the X-Men one on Reddit and did the Kickstarter because it looks cool.

I bought the base game a couple of days ago (it didn't arrive yet) to try it while the KS is still going. If I don't like it I'll just drop my pledge.

Thanks. I was going to post on the boardgame thread. Honestly, I'm more into the little models than the game, I'm thinking the board game would be a nice bonus at the end of the day. Also I have a friend that is really good a coloring models (he usually does Warhammer and model guns from movies), I was going to see if these things are paintable cause that might be a nice little hobby.

There's a subreddit for the game and people post a lot of their painting work there. Seems like they're pretty easy to paint.

Weren’t the GvK toys Walmart exclusive?

Also as a fan of the old Kenner JP stuff, the modern Mattel Jurassic World stuff is loving fantastic.

Same here. I live in kind of an isolated city and we just have one Target and one Walmart within a couple hundred miles, and a couple of Walgreens stores... The only GI Joe Classified figure I have seen in real life to date was at a Walgreens. Don't remember the guy's name but it wasn't one that anyone here was going crazy looking for. Never seen a single one at Target, nor did I ever see the exclusive Mandalorian / Grogu set, which I actually kinda wanted.

My Target has been pretty good for MOTU figures, and I found that Millennium Falcon there a few months ago, after they canceled my order. But their shelves are pretty bare these days. Walmart has been barren since like October.

The new Jurassic Park stuff does look cool.

I'm traveling next weekend and might get to hit up exotic far-flung retail locations...

This is a good movie.
I feel like Hasbro is gonna throw Target under the bus when this is all over. It just seems like they have an exclusive distribution partner that doesn’t want to hand sell any drat product. I assume Hasbro and Target are just waiting on their partnership to expire because I’d be shocked if either was happy with this situation.

Yeah there’s no reason for Hasbro to ditch Target when the figures immediately sell out the moment they’re on shelves. If anything, Target loves the increased foot traffic it creates. Same reason Walgreens loves their exclusives.

Hisstanks latest meltdown about target exclusives is pretty amusing. Its gone for normal grumbling to buyer-seller contract law to now begin convinced the Bludd is a fake. Interestingly the seller popped up in the thread but refused to say where he got it.

Playmates answered my prayers and gave me the ability to buy a Jet Jaguar figure that wasn’t a vintage import that costs $400.

Unfortunately, it’s a real monkey’s paw situation. He’s forced into this really awkward fighting stance that gives him only one foot and a toe to stand on, and his center of gravity is his right shoulder. This not only makes him impossible to stand up on his own, but also look weird unless you’re looking at him straight on. And I mean, not in the normal way JJ looks weird.

I wish they had just sculpted him standing straight instead of this “McFarlane circa 1998” garbage.

There's M1 Bullmark reproductions like this that you can get as well. $150 seems average for them since it was somewhat recently reissued.

It is. The Mattel Creations clear Skeletor was very limited and is now pricey. If this is as limited it'll be a grand on the secondary market within a month.

Weirdly, I'd've been more interested if it was just a big hunk of vinyl. Getting in on it just to flip it doesn't seem worth my effort, but best of luck to Rhyno and the other big-timers itt.
