recent pickups

[redfox]

Finally picked up Sharon Carter at a Books-A-Million after searching five Walmarts and only finding ravaged pegs or a plethora of Odin and Thanos wave figures. Books-A-Million on the other hand had both fully stocked Red Onslaught and Absorbing Man waves. Looks like Books-A-Million may be my future secret stop for Marvel Legends.

I rarely "double dip" when it comes to action figures, but, quite frankly, my collection of Spider-Man Marvel Legends has far too few figures of Spidey himself.

Although I have the awesome Future Foundation Spidey (one of my favorite Legends), the only others I have are my first Pizza Spidey, Toy Biz's crappy House of M Spidey (love the story and costume, hate the figure), and ASM2 Spidey (who I use as a weak substitute for an Ultimate Spidey).

I keep reading how this figure is supposedly the best Spidey figure in years, and that it might be a while until we get another classic/traditional/whatever version of Spidey, so I figured I'd better snag another before they all disappear, just for those occasions when I have two Legends displays that both require Spidey in his classic blue and red costume.

I'm really surprised that he's selling for such ridiculous prices on the aftermarket. I guess I must be lucky, because with all of the Walgreens in my area, he's not exactly tough to find.

Saw 1 once, passed because I thought I could grab him at another time and grabbed another HTF figure instead ... never saw one again and still on the hunt but I feel they may be long gone as I dont even see any Hobgoblin wave figures anymore

Great find.

Rebuilding my original TMT collection along with my Batman and Superman collection.

The Onslaught wave has hit my area harder than the Odin wave! These figures are everywhere, lol ! So much so, that despite the initial shortage that many areas have experienced, I'm worried that they may keep flooding the shelves and become a wave of peg-warmers like the Odin wave.

Thanks

If Walgreens isn't on your current "hunting" route, definitely consider adding them. The ones in my area still have plenty of figures from both the Hulkbuster and Hobgoblin waves.
I'm still shocked at how many HG wave Daredevils I see regularly at Walgreens, given that he was supposedly the most in-demand figure from that wave.

This actually arrived yesterday but I didn't get around to opening it until late so I'm posting it now. Pretty good, nothing to complain about and mainly I'm just glad to have gotten it at normal price.

Oh yeah, i search WG a lot seeing as they usually have better pickings than the other retail stores around here. I'm hoping to find a Pizza Spidy but it may just depend on being there at the right time at the right store. Seeing he is highly sought after and all.

My pick up of the day, 1986 Ghostbusters Fire House, pretty happy with iy

[Frank Richards]

I've been trying to be patient and post the pics of my recent purchases all together on a weekly or bi-monthly basis, but I was just so excited about the Spidey I bought yesterday, I just had to post him.
Same goes with this GameStop / ThinkGeek exclusive Doctor Who Pop ! I just couldn't wait

I was nervous when he arrived, because the box looked (no exaggeration) like an accordian. Thanks UPS . Luckily, the figure was undamaged, and his box was only slightly crushed.

EDIT/UPDATE :
I just realized, that in my haste and excitement, I had forgotten to post this FYE exclusive Jack Harkness Pop that arrived late last week, so here's an updated pic of Captain Jack with the 10th Doctor.

[tgbobafett]

got this at hobby lobby recently for $10

One of my grail items I need to get one day

[iLLest]

That Ghostbusters building is great. My cousin probably has every piece from that set, and in amazing shape.

Got a super deal at Walmart on this; normally $29.99, but it rang up for $9

I haven't seen this one in stores yet, but the box looks pretty small. Isn't the Slave-1 a lil' out of scale?

[Universe]

It is, but it fits the figure; I actually don't mind if vehicles are a little out of scale, saves me space.

Damn that's a good deal for a nice little Fett and pretty good Slave 1. I got the Boba Fett on its own back in 2014 for like $5 and then the Slave 1 at Target for like $18 when it was new. Despite the under articulated design its a nicely sculpted and painted figure.

Technically it's ridiculously too small, it's actually almost Millennium Falcon level big. You can kinda tell when Boba is bringing Han in carbonite up the ramp that it's pretty big but also with Battlefront you can see that it's around the same size as the Falcon.
