I am not a Power Ranger aficiando so am not sure if there's any deliberate connection regarding that color scheme.

They sometimes come up on pegs here still but HW waves wise has moved a long way on since they were made.

It was not a smooth transaction at all.

The first set of these I ordered had the accessories, but after I paid I was messaged within the week that the seller is not responding and that I was issued a refund. I found another set with no accessories, sadly...but they were about $7 cheaper. All in I think it was around $30 after fess and shipping, but I picked up something for my Girlfriend as well so it is hard to say what each thing cost me. I will most likely order from there again, but it takes a while for the items to actually show up so patience is key.

Not a huge fan of Wolverine, but I will likely get him and War Machine eventually to complete the set. I only bought them for Hulk and since I was going to pay $20 for him alone I am glad I got the others for just $10 more.

Wasn't going to initially, but after perusing BAF parts on Ebay for a bit (people seriously want 20 bucks for the torso alone? Sheesh!) I decided to go back to Walmart and get the rest of the Hulkbuster wave price matched, which thankfully they did. I'm not sure what I'll do with the figures themselves, as some of the characters I honestly have no clue who they are, they may go up for trade or on ebay to offset the cost of finishing Hulkbuster.

Truthfully...for all the love that HulkBuster gets, I really ended up liking Rhino just a bit more out of the recent waves. The superior sculpt, paint apps, and the awesome maniacal expression on his classic head are what did it for me. Regardless of who I think is best, it's nice to be getting large BAFs again, and they are both really impressive. I can't wait for the Absorbing Man wave!

^^ nice dude! i would love to find that wave at that price

Is the target sale only in certain states? I just checked mine and they were priced on sale at 18.00

They are 18$ in store, but 12.23$ online and Target (and Walmart if you are lucky) will price match the lower online price from their own website.

The kids do their own costuming for Halloween so while at the thrift store I decided to have a look through the toys and saw this. Couldn't believe it wasn't all smashed.

Racing suits and helmets. They pop up occasionally on the releases worldwide depending on the vehicle. A more avid hot wheels collector can probably fill in more about them. Some of them even have figures, though usually inaction ones of them riding whatever vehicle like an ATV, motorcycle, or whatever else.

^^ This. On the Target website, the Hulkbuster wave is currently listed as being $12.33, which is what I used to get the price match.

It's not foolproof however. First, the item has to match exactly, so if you are getting War Machine, you have to find War Machine on Target's site and show them. The item also has to be shown either in-stock at a local store, or available for order online. When I went today, none of the figures were currently available to order online, however, the "find them at a store" option said that they were to be in stock at one or two stores nearby (which...who knows since many Targets use the same DCPI# for things...) and since it said that, the managers were more than happy to give me the price match.

Every Walmart is different of course, and you might not have a manager at your local one who is by the book on things, so it might be easier for you than it was for me. The manager at mine was very by the book on things, and went as far as to look up the items on his own phone to confirm the prices, making it feel like an even bigger score in the end.

I swapped the G1 heads onto my SDCC Dinobots, I like their paint applications better!

They are from a Japanese Anime Marvel Disk Wars, made by Bandai. I mainly got them for Hulk, but they really are awesome

If you look hard enough they can be found for $20 on ebay. I got them off Taobao. First purchase off there. Really confusing and more expensive than it seems, but I did land these for a lot less than $20 each.
