I dont think its random people stumbling in and then selling their junk, I think we do it to ourselves lol!
We only want what everyone else has.

They're expensive, and we all know that for sure. I'm pretty sure a set would sell for at least $100, if not more. They're rare, and thats a fact. true

Those "ice" accessories are pretty sweet fodder for MU collectors. true

Way too true, and refreshing to hear. That said, I'd much rather buy something from an Arker. true ++++++++

At Walmart/TRU today, I picked up a complete set of Series 2 MegaBloks Marvel Minifigs, G.I.Joe Renegades Ripcord and PCC Skyhammer w/Airlift.

[Jason Abbadon]

Nice hau; ! Ripcord looks great too! I LOVE his goggles! Those are going right onto a custom!
Removable helmets are the way of the future- imagine a nice removable Iron Man helmet!

..oneday!

Wolverine 2281- how much was that XMO two pack? Anyone else got that Colussus figure- what's his articulation like? It looks really good.

I had them on all of my ROC Joes but took them off to make more room on my pegs. I'd put them on my rare MU figured but they are also in order on my pegs and would throw everything off

Awwww man! another figure ruined by a gommick! He looks like a perfect base for a Super Skrull too....
Well, it's on Venom then, thanks for the intel!


More money saved by the Toyark Experience! LOL!

[warmachine6]

hello all
i got this game (finally) already completed it highly recommend it very good game espically for batman fans out there who are thinking of getting it (probably got it by now )



so thats it for the moment might get an ant-man and nick fury soon but dunno yet. dont forget to check out http://www.toyark.com/my-armory-85196/#post236549 that i have recently built

[proteus]

Ok so this is more of a "Look At What I Just Got......Back!" Post but i finally (after 2 and 1/4 years) went back to my parents and picked up a load of my old stuff that they had kept stored away for me:


So even though "I Just Got"(it back) its not staying im gonna shove about 95% of it on ebay,its a big old mixtures of figures,but i thought id give you guys first eyes on it,so if if theres anything anyone wants/needs,let me know,and we can work something out!! And if not well just enjoy the picture!!

[Optimus Vader]

TRU is doing buy 2 get 1 free SW figures this week, so I stopped by this morning and grabbed these.



They're $10, not $11. That Stormtrooper (and others they had there) must be a return or maybe TRU Express stock or something.

Just as I was finished picking out what I wanted some dude came and wiped out the Phantom Menace figs that I didn't grab. I couldn't care less what people do with their money, but the diligence and determination of this guy (30 something) was pretty embarrassing. He was like a machine. I was finished and about to head to the checkout, but I stayed to watch him... it was like a train wreck, I couldn't look away. Weirdo.

Sounds like a SW collector.

Anyone who cares to collect stuff like Ordhi-Loin, Cooger Von, Boinin Bolz, and Gunder Plaxin is w.e.i.r.d.o. personified.

"A male Toong from the Planet of Tund." (srsly, SW peeps?)

Vegas has him covering the spread at 5 million wupiupis.

WTF?!

It is definitely a must read for anyone who even kind of likes graphic novels. I liked it so much I asked my girlfriend to read it (she doesn't do comics) and she really liked it too.

What is that tiny little Rob Zombie in the middle? He looks like a MiniMates figure.

So how much would you say this guy spent? A store I once worked at called Slackers does stuff like this, they mark up the figures by a lot and if the figures don't sell, they just take the figures back to the store they originally came from. By the way, I saw a commercial for "Phantom Menace in 3D", and couldn't help but laugh at how dumb it is to release that in theaters. Morons..... Episodes 4-6 would be worth it, but why put a bad movie in 3D? I don't get it.

did he run(or waddle) to the checkout with 15 figs in his arms, dropping half along the way, while out of breath after 20 feet?

He reminds me of an ear of corn.



As a little sidenote,.. this guy actually has ankle articulation in those tiny feet. I don't just mean they spin.. they also swivel just like the "human" figures.

He spent a lot. They put up one of those giant SW displays right by the front door, so they had more than just one of each.. more like 2-3 each when I got there. His arms were full.. probably about a dozen. He skipped the droids and Amidalas though.

Ha.. I'd say it was more of a power-walk.

You guys think he was a scalper?
