I got the jetsons car the other day, but I had no idea about herbie. I only collect the cars from movies/tv/video games though, so I'm not usually that far into the hotwheels loop.

There is zero reason to overpay for these consoles as plenty of stock will be shipping. People just remember the PS2 "shortages" which Sony actually created to keep hype going. I remember waiting all night to get the PS2 and then you could sell them for $1000 because people were stupid. We bought two and paid our rent that month with the second one. I was 16 and worked at Best Buy at the time. I remember they would get 15-20 in and just roll them and literally anyone walking by would grab them. I remember people grabbing them and holding onto them while they called their friends to bring money so they could purchase it.

It didn't even take long for that them to start shelf warming. It came out in late October and by Christmas stock was easily on the shelves. Back then they didn't have preorders for the console like tons of places have already done. The hardcore fans have a PS4 now and everyone else won't mind waiting. Anyone paying more than retail just has money to burn and doesn't like to deal with the public. In two weeks they will be easily had.

Absolutely right... Nobody should pay more that the retail price for the PS4. As it is, they are very expensive. The key to this "game" is patience. It's just like collecting... patience is the key. Like I posted earlier, I walked in that store expecting nothing and I found 30 on stock. Sometimes we get lucky like that and other times waiting a little bit is the best option. The only reason some people are in a hurry to get one is probably because of the upcoming holidays of course. If it’s on your kids Santa Claus wish list, then what do you do? Lol…

Did you find "Mobile Armoured Strike Kommand" Thunderhawk, yet? Why can't "M.A.S.K." be used?

And unlike collecting they are going to be selling the same exact thing over and over for years so come. Later models maybe even be improved for a cheaper price. With collecting some stuff is blink and you miss it so the price goes up. The holiday's can bring out the worst in people sometimes. Selling the hot items out of their trunk for double the price.

This one is a spare for trade but I do have one loose already,I did the headswap with a AA Black Widow,was not a fan of the transvestite looking head sculpt Hasbro gave her.

Overall though - 9/10 for the rest.

I don't know how much you paid for these, but the recent Mospeada toys got rapidly very expensive in Japan. The Legioss big set is always around 15.000Y and more.

I paid a VERY low price for all that stuff.

[F1sh1000]

Thanks for the info guys, Ill have to check around and see if I can find that Deathstroke. That's too awesome

yeah, my local comic shops and TRU has had them.. i live in southeast PA... usually stuff works west to east, so i would assume your TRU should have them soon.

this batman looks a whole hell of a lot better than the mattel arkham asylum.. the head sculpt on that was just hideous.

i picked up the DC version of arkham origins batman.. i love it... though it's odd that his arkham origins body looks much older than the previous iterations.

I wouldn't, the new one isn't backwards compatible. Unless you have one of the ones that aren't already...

I'm surprised there's a Hot Wheels car based on M.A.S.K., period. M.A.S.K. is a Hasbro property, but Hot Wheels are a Mattel product. Not to mention Hasbro has made their own 1:64 cars before.

"Herbie Fully Loaded"?
