These came in the mail today!




hey, that bubble carded Shockwave, what scale is he? Deluxe or Legends?

[salsa4datass]

that shockwave is the middle size ones that are about $9/$10 not deluxe. I saw one yesterday at walmart but I only want the big one so I passed on it.
though i'm still debating on that since they also have hardshell in that size and not a deluxe...

[DarthGzus33]

My latest from eBay, Lost Wave Sonic Storm Armor IM...I am a sucker for Translucent Figs, so he is my new favorite IM Fig!!! A must buy if you like IM!!!



Oh yeah, I opened him up immediately!!! Even the missile launcher is translucent...

[salsa4datass]

^ nice find. I hope you didn't over pay on the bay though since you can find these at 5 and below stores as well as marshalls and tj maxx...

I have actually searched for him everywhere, I did find some of the other Lost Wave figs at a TJ Maxx and Marshall's , and the Five Below near me only has IM2 wave 1...I paid $12.99 shipped, I can definitely live with that for such an awesome fig!!!

Found some old figures in the cheap bin at a LCS I don't visit much last week.
MR. HORSE for 7$ loose and with all his parts
I have a Mr. Horse still in package but it is signed by Billy West along with a Ren figure signed by Mr. West also. Can't open those :-)







And some LOG in package for 2$ each
Invisible Log, Standard Log, and Log of the Klondike. I am only missing 2 Logs now to have them all. The Secret Agent Log that came with the Frothy shaving cream beard version of the Shaven Yak and the Super Rare Civil War Log that came with the Collectors Club membership Perplexed Ren figure.



Man, I miss Palisades Toys, they made some great stuff over the years before they went under. (and I have a LOT of it)

Also got some cheap Marvel Legends too... and a different Thor

Thor from the Stargate SG1 figures 3$, cause he is a cool little alien guy, and Vengeance w/Bike 3$



And I could not pass up extra SHIELD soldier and Hand Ninjas for 3$ each....no way, the more fodder the better

[ludovicotek]

Damn Phantomcrow! Nice score on those Mr. Horse and Logs! Love me some Ren & Stimpy.

Matty stuff from sub came today, Wednesday:

[salsa4datass]

phantomcrow: those ren & stimpy figs are just an amazing score...
falconhood: I wish I could afford to collect that motu classics line. especially now with a figure roughly costing $40 with shipping...

yes, i complain about that every time there is only ONE figure of the month.
I will NOT renew my subscription for 2014. This will be my final sub year. When Netossa came, I thought the $38 was for two figures...the sticker shock killed my desire for this line.
I love the figures I got this month, too, and look forward to NA He-Man soon.
I just hope we get NA Skeletor before the end of the year.

In a word, yes. I've seen all but the last four multiple times. Of the last four, I've seen Mystique, X-Force Deadpool and Punisher a couple times and the regular Doom only one time.

A variant by any other name is a variant the same.

How's that phrase go? "All bourbons are whiskeys, but not all whiskeys are bourbons", or is it the other way around?

If you want to get technical, a running change is a type of variant in that it is different from the product's original release. However, "normal" variants are released to retail at the same time as their originals (like MU Blastaar, for example). Running changes replace the originals, which are no longer made or sold by the manufacturer.

That's a very important distinction to make, similar to the difference between a short-packed figure and a chase figure.

Quote:

I'm not sure which part of the world you live in but I live in the real world where not all (if any) of these are as easily found as you make it sound.

It says where right under my "Join Date". Considering I live in the primary market for this product, it would stand to reason that they would be much easier, on average, for me to find than for someone in another part of the world.

Quote:

And I'm next door to the factories in Hong Kong. The so called running changes only get made and shipped when there are refill orders. Meaning if there is no refill orders there are no r.c. released. So if WM or Target sells these well and re-orders 10 more cases in total there are only 10 more r.c. in total. They are still variants - as far as I know no retailer has re-ordered in quantities close to even their original orders. So what does that mean? It means that these are rarer than the original figures. If WM and Target re-orders then. But if K-Mart, TRU etc... don't sell well and don't re-order no r.c will get shipped. So no, in my world these are not readily found.

Yeah, um, I pretty much covered all of that with the last sentence in my previous post. Caveat, fine print, CYA - call it what you will.

He's a Cyberverse Commander. So a big Legend or a small Scout.

Oh, and nice R&S figures. I kind of regret not picking up one of the Logs when they were still available here. But TF mania knows no loyalty.

I'd recommend both Hardshell and Shockwave for several reasons:

1. They're fun little toys.
2. If you get either the voyager (or more likely, the ultimate) version of Predaking, the Cyberverse figures scale better with him than any other size class combo.
3. There's been no indication that Hardshell will be available in any other size-class.
4. No lobster cosplay bits.
5. Once you get the voyager, you'll have father and son together at last. Because you know ol' One Eye cloned himself at least once during his time alone on Cybertron.

Are the GI Joe subscription figures shipped in a little baggy like that? I'm not a subscriber, and I don't pay much attention to 'em, so I'm not sure. Would be nice, though, to have a pre-cut filecard.

No they are carded .. This figure comes either in a bag or carded .. It's the club figure for joining the yearly club membership

[Brownfinger]

This piqued my curiosity.

[DarthGzus33]

I was very happy to find this one at retail today, Planet X Batman RULES!!!

[trebleshot]

I like how his weapon pack-in makes an unintentional pun.

Also, can't go wrong with a Bat-Mite figure, even if it's just a static-pose PVC toy.

Funny you say that, I was telling my dad about him a little while ago and he said the exact same thing LOL

Looks like Bat-Mite's arms move at least...
