Liberal Idiot posted:I think "in way over their heads" is Shocker Toys' mission statement. Oh, and also "completely loving incompetent and probably a scam." Did you catch my post a few months back about how Shocker sent emails to hundreds of retailers asking for them to carry Shocker toys under the guise of a potential customer?

z0rschach posted:I missed that. That's pretty great. The last Shocker thread on fwoosh read The best part is someone on the CBIA caught them, realized the guy sending the email worked for Shocker and told the forum about it. So many of us took it upon ourselves to write responses to the effect of "We're not carrying them because they look like total poo poo." The dude responded with "well you've lost a potential custome, good job!" When I emailed back that I knew who he worked for he never responded.

Jace Madan posted:Didn't see any Terminator figures, but I saw the new Star Trek movie figures today. Wal-Mart had the 3 3/4" and the 6" ones. The 3 3/4" ones look like absolute crap, they seem really tiny (especially their heads) when compared to Star Wars figures. They aren't made by Art Asylum are they?

Jace Madan posted:No, these were the brand new Playmates ones for the new film. Playmates is making both the Trminator: Salvation, and the Star Trek movie figures. That explains why they suck. AA made the best Trek toys pretty much ever. Playmates stuff was great back in the day but it doesn't measure up to AA's line.

Paper Triangle posted:The Toys R Us my roommate works at just got a shipment of the Atom Smasher set, plus a Batman without a series number. I'm going by after work to grab a Flash/Kid Flash, but there are also a few Bardas available if anyone wants them. I think he's part of the update wave. Diamond has him, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, Firestorm and a few others available individually.

Bob Cthulhu posted:How are you guys displaying your Muggs? I've got like 30 of them, and I'm out of space. Some sort of shelf would be preferred, but a case would work, too. You can buy laminate shelves at Menards/Lowes/Home Depot for as little as $7.00 each. Joe Fisto posted:The Wampa wave is on-line only. If you don't want the whole wave BBTS has wampas for sale by themselves. It doesn't look like the preorder is sold out yet. The Wampa line is a Diamond/Online co exclusive. Your local comic shop might have them.

Satch posted:I think my local shop has it, but they overcharge for figures, we're talkin like 17 bucks or so. I think I mention this like 50 times per figure thread but comic shops do not overcharge on figures. Most comic shops order their figures and toys from diamond and do not receive the same discounts big box retailers do. The average cost to a comic specialty store per figure is $10.90. That's what WE pay for them. The SRP for DC Direct and DCU is $16.99 as offered by Diamond. Now if they are marking a figure up to $25 then they are overcharging.

Fingers McLongDong posted:Yeah, but then again MU figures don't come with BAF parts, and a lot of BAF parts go for a couple bucks on their own. So it's basically $2 less for a smaller figure with less accessories and less incentive to complete a set. You also have to consider what LightsGameraAction said, a lot of LCBS will hike up the prices to be $10 or over for them. I can understand the marketing aspect of it, about keeping new stuff out, its just funny to me that people might complain about a new ML Iron man figure coming out, but will still buy new MU IM figures. I don't know how many times I have to say this. Your local comic shop does not hike up prices. We have to pay more to even carry the loving things so of course the price is higher. What, you want us to sell you the toys at a $2 loss per figure? gently caress that bullshit.

I was at Target and they had new Action League figures out! For those that arn't familiar, Action League is the DC version of Super Hero Squad based on the Brave & Bold tv series. I had purchased all of the first wave and have been waiting months for more and just when I'd given up hope they appear! Yay Christmas time!

Sanschel posted:I recall reading that all future waves, starting with 11, will be sold online as a set in some capacity, although I can't for the life of me track down where I read this. It was actually supposed to start back with Wave 8. Diamond had set up some deal with Mattel to sell complete boxed sets of each wave for the regular SRP but it didn't materialize.

Yeah, I made some changes to the outside. I'm still not entirely comfortable with the tone of the stain, but it's way better than before. No longer bright pumpkin orange, more reddish brown, but still generally in the Batman Begins palette.
