At least tell us where you think you got it. I don't want to eat their or anything. I hope you feel better.

I think my girlfriend and I got food poisoning from the Boston Tavern on 106 West Bridgewater. She used to work their and it's around the corner from where we live. Too bad I can never eat from their again.

That Thanos & Knight Rider both look great. I never see any of the movie cars. I've been looking for a month now and not one.

I took the day off from work today because I had a few errands to run, so I hit a few stores that I saw in the area I was in and found some good sales. Pretty funny Walmart story.. all in one WM their VC Sandtrooper was $4, VC Sid was $3, and VC QG-Jinn was full price at $9 (pass). Those were all they had of VC's, but they had plenty of the white box figs which were all full price. Fucking weirdos. The Cap line was all $5 so I grabbed what goons they had. I stopped at a Ross in the same shopping center and grabbed these Joes.

Can anyone tell me if they were hard to find or what the story is with them? I don't know anything about them, but thought they both looked awesome. The Tracker guy looks like the dude in Predator.

I'm not sure if they're rare either, but I do know that I want to find that Spirit figure for exactly what you mentioned - he looks like Billy from Predator. If you find another one can you hook me up?

Quick Kick and Spirit were 2010 POC TRU exclusives when first released and were kind of scarce, but not impossible to find. A lot of people were buying Spirit specifically because of the resemblance to Billy. The regular retail wave of that series also had figures that matched with Predador:

Recondo = Blaine (Jesse Ventura's character)
Shadow Tracker = Predator (or you could just use NECA's)
Duke = Dutch (Ahnold's character)

Still, pretty cool find. I wouldn't mind finding a Spirit or QK at Marshall's or TJ Maxx if I didn't hate going into those stores.

I thought it actually was the indian guy in predator, that's why I got him lol. But they were both TRU exclusives. I only ever saw spirit once, the quick kick twice. I love spirit.

I love issac. Which one is that? It looks like the deadspace 2 costume. I've been wanting to get a deadspace guy for the longest time. I'd happily trade spots with robocop

FancyPants · 03-09-2012, 03:30 PM

Tiny haul today. Been wanting the thor bank. These simpsons figurines cracked me up hard

iLegends73 · 03-09-2012, 07:46 PM

Got this guy from target the other day in the clearance isle. Slap a mr. Terrific jacket in him and I've got myself a custom red hood

Wow. Great price! I love Target when they clearance stuff, they go full on slasher on the prices. The Target near me has like a dozen DotM Human Alliance Leadfoot figures for $15.74, need to grab a few.

I'm a nerd, i love the banks. Gave captain america and red hulk to my step kids. I've still got ironman. Everyone looks at me funny when I bring an ironman bank into a store to cash in change

WHAT A STEAL. I wouldn't mind that figure really.

iLegends73 · 03-09-2012, 08:41 PM

got him from the clearance isle and it didn't scan I don't know if someone put it over there or if I was really suppose to be there. Anyway a lady with a scanner gun couldn't get it to scan either. So long story short she came back with that sticker, slapped it on the box and said thanx for shopping target lol.

Tiberius · 03-09-2012, 08:44 PM

Fucking epic lol.

iLegends73 · 03-09-2012, 10:03 PM

I figured since I been hitting up multiple walmarts for ml wave 2 and coming up empty I needed a pick me up lol

hbklb · 03-09-2012, 10:24 PM

No Problem, but it's not likely.. I was out of town. There's only one Ross in my area and it barely has a toy section.

Thanks for the info. I might have to go after those three figures now. It's pretty cool that they'd do something like that.

That's interesting as the Targets near my area don't have a clearance "aisle" either. It's more like end-caps that are set up on various aisles where the newer stuff is sold.

The Wal-Mart closest to me doesn't have a clearance aisle or section either. In that store their toy clearances are placed on several folding tables. It's a pain in the ass to look for stuff there because they don't just have things on the tables, they place items underneath the tables too in a haphazard fashion.

jaybird7072 · 03-10-2012, 12:21 PM

Got these today for 20$ each.

That's how my Target does it as well, except for Christmas clearance when they had a bona fide clearance aisle temporarily.
