Well, in lieu of finding anything new in these parts, I'll settle with a couple new customs. Luke Cage and my 2nd attempt at the Hood.

Went to my Walgreens, nothing. Still just the goddamn Red Skull and Rhino Waves collecting dust. I don't think they order new figures....ever.

@Weapon X
Steve: "What if there's a loaf of bread we need to get to and they won't let us?" Tony: "That's good. When I found out what my loaves of bread were doing to others, I shut it down." |

Lmao.
Steve: "The cost of putting bread in toilets is high. But it's a price I'm willing to pay."

That's how Civil War really started. First it was coffee grounds in the disposal, then bread in the toilets.

I have checked all 4 TRU stores in the last 2 weeks in the KC area and was not able to find anything of the MJ set. I usually find stuff pretty easily since I check a lot of places in the area. ( I usually spend 10+ hours hitting places on a given day throughout the day) BUT I have only ever found the TRU Groot 1 time, bought 1, and have never seen it again at any of the 4 TRU in the KC area. I recently bought the Transformers Velocitron box set about a month ago, and have never seen it restock either.

The loaves of bread, yes. The toast, not so much. Two men in a room can eat more bread than 20...LOL!!!! In all seriousness, I am very pleased with the GOTG V2 figures. Hasbro gave us the full team in 3 months (2 waves) that's something The Avengers can't even say. |

Saw the new Alien movie today and used my time before the movie to hunt for the Invisible Woman and the Spiderman/MJ pack. Came up with bupkis in the Murfreesboro, TN area today.

And if pattern holds true it will probably be the last time it is sighted in Kansas City. The TRU Groot has been non-existent. I had a nice lady a couple weeks back at one of the local TRUs ask what Legend I was looking for. When I told her Groot, she sighed. Apparently they have had a hell of a time getting distributions of Groot to their store.

He's the CEO of Marvel Entertainment. I believe he is the reason Maya Hansen was changed from being the main villain in Iron Man 3. I also read multiple reports that he didn't think female merchandise would sale...FALSE (at least speaking for myself). Kevin Feige threaten to quit if he had to continue to report to him.

Allegedly, Perlmutter is also the one who decided to replace Terrence Howard with Don Cheadle as Rhodey, because Perlmutter allegedly said "black people look the same". Plus, he's apparently incredibly cheap, known for saying things to his employees like "Why do you need a new pencil? There's two inches left on that one!" He's also incredibly reclusive; he takes pride in the fact that he's never given an interview despite being in mqny court battles and bankruptcy fights, and before he recently got forced into the spotlight a bit more starting back in December due to being a friend and advisor of a certain orange Commander-In-Chief, the last known photo of him was from 1985, over a decade before he even became involved with Marvel. He reportedly attended the premiere of Iron Man back in 2008 wearing a baseball cap, sunglasses, and a fake moustache. |

Ike Perlmutter was the head of ToyBiz when they bought Marvel back in the mid-late 90's and becane Marvel Entertainment, so a lot of his commands relating to the movies were very merch- and toy-centric, including the largely-false-but-unfortunately-prevalent-among-big-toy-companies idea that "female action figures don't sell".

Terence Howard was replaced because Jon Favreau did not get along with him, and RDJ took some of the money that was supposed to go to Terence, and Terence was not happy with the pay cut and walked.

Unfortunately, Jeph Loeb and the Marvel TV division still answer to Perlmutter, and that's been the main thing keeping the shows/Netflix series and movies from crossing over as much as fans would like them to. Last edited by Jeddostotle7; 05-19-2017 at 08:11 PM.. |

I'm in the massive minority, but I love movie figures, and hope the quality of characters and character choices continue movie forward (Hela, Dora Milaje, updated Black Widow, Wasp). Bring them all on and I'll fill up my shelves. |
