Even though this 1 is larger and has sounds and a silver surfer. $70 is a lot to swallow, considering I could get a whole wave of MU figures/and or a rare IM figure to add to my collection like a series 1 stealth variant.

This? I think my brother has it lol.

Hahaha, no, I got that figure. I meant Marvel Legends Series 1, the blue stealth variant. I have both the regular yellow and red and the gold and red version, but the stealth version was like 1 in 10 cases, so most people that have him moc sell him for between $70-140. I would rather pay like $30-40 for a loose but complete 1, because if I spent $70 or more I'd end up leaving him moc.

The reason I mentioned him, is that I'm trying to get every 6'' IM figure from ML, MS, and the movie lines. I need the stealth version from series 1, and the stealth version from the 2pack, faceoff series both versions, like 4 MS figures, and a bunch of random concept armours from the movie lines. lol it's a process but it's getting there. But at $70 for galactus I could get atleast 1 or more of the missing suits from my list.

To be honest, i think i look better in my classic color scheme.

Screw Amazon, they're charging 170 alone. Just found it on ebay for 90 almost half the cost! Just picked it up. Image will be posted once received. And yes I know it doesn't come with SS, I got it because of the card!

WHY WASN'T I AWARE OF THIS THREAD!? This is wonderful news for us Canadians!!!

SoundWave88 · 11-08-2011, 09:06 AM

Damn, I missed this version, and especially that Amazon sale...but there is still hope as they are not all sold out. I'd buy it if I found it at US retail or good price online. Shipping is crazy to/from Canada.

M3T4L V1KING · 11-08-2011, 04:32 PM

Me and Tiberius just got back from Vancouver, and the Toys R Us there had absolute crap tons of variant Galactus'. It was a nice sight to see.

Reaver Strike · 11-08-2011, 08:59 PM

Is that the darker version?

Tiberius · 11-08-2011, 09:56 PM

lmao...i think i might stretch my budget and get both since i really cant decide, even though i shouldn't. galactus will just have to undergo a sneaking mission with me to slip him in the house unnoticed by marital eyes at some point

Lol How much did you end up spending then?

neatogecko · 11-11-2011, 02:40 PM

Any Canadian Arker willing to hook me up with a Dark version Galactus for cost plus shipping?

Ditto, I need the dark one too...

Tiberius · 11-11-2011, 11:23 PM

Well, just know, you will be paying A LOT of money. Canadian shipping is 3x more than American, and the figure is 69.99 RETAIL. It will easily cost an arker over 100 dollars for the guy.

Damn that is quite a bit to spend, especially when you were merely debating on spending $70 haha... little carried away, but I like it! I haven't blown that much $$ on toys in a long time, not since the IM movie came out and I dropped like $150-200 on the 6'' line. I spent $100 recently along with trades to get my Hot toys IM but as far as I'm concerned that's an investment piece where if I need to I can put it on ebay and get 2-300 easy. I just won 10 auctions tonight so fun to see what my total will be lol. and then there's some fellow arkers on here I'm working on buying 50-100 off of... damn plastic crack adds up. Do you and you're wife have a joint acct? if so you're screwed, but if you get caught just say well consider it my xmas present or if you feel bad return the items as long as you didn't already open them lol.

Peteparker · 11-11-2011, 11:54 PM

I was thinking about this too. Toys R Us is selling Galactus online. Do you think that's the dark variant, or do you think they're selling from warehouse stock?
