I will keep an eye out , but I will not get back to that area for a week. Wednesday is my day to run around KC and look for stuff. I live an hour away. I would have grabbed a couple Boba if I had the money this week and they only had 2 Darth P, and my friend with me picked up the other one. They only got 2 cases of the 3 3/4, but I believe it was all assortment 3.

Very pleased with this. The sculpt is fantastic, though the articulation is in line with the earlier New 52 stuff. I like that his shoulder pads can be raised and lowered. It would have been nice if he could hold his weapon in two hands, but then again I didn't even know he came with a gun when I ordered him off of Amazon, so no big deal there.

Much better than the Arkham designs, in my opinion.

Nice find!
I saw that Deadshot in my LCS today, and even though I'm not really a fan of the character, I was very impressed by the design and the sculpt. DC Collectibles is releasing some great figures these days! I can't wait until the ones they previewed at Toy Fair hit stores.

Same here, man. My only exposure to Deadshot has been the Arkham games (where he's a wuss who goes down without much fight, TWICE) and the Arrow tv series, where he has progressively become a good recurring villain. I thought the design was just so cool that I couldn't help but buy this.

Definitely looking forward to the majority of DCC's upcoming products.

Power Rangers Super Megaforce Legendary Megazord Figure

I really like these Retro-Fire styled figures! Glad to add the Pirate Megazord to my collection last night

jamesmruddy · 02-20-2014, 10:13 AM

After months and months of nothing hitting store shelves, TODAY!!!!

Ninjinister · 02-20-2014, 06:13 PM

Since I haven't seen any Winter Soldier line figures around here yet, I bought a few from China for cheaper than they would be in stores + free shipping. As luck would have it, the same seller also had a couple of the Iron Man 2 drones I'd been looking for.

TheUncannyMike · 02-21-2014, 02:27 PM

Went to the World of Toys Expo here in Vegas this morning. I was not expecting much and that is what I got. Did find a few nice deals.

Poison Shadow · 02-21-2014, 03:12 PM

My first Kotobukiya statue - or rather, the first one I bought. I do have the one from the Arkham City collector's edition around here somewhere too.

snake5289 · 02-21-2014, 05:28 PM

Finally and I'm really digging it too. Takes me back to the old RoboCop toys I used to have growing up. It's a little hard to tell but I gave him a gun that looks pretty close to the one from the original.

Iceman · 02-21-2014, 06:04 PM

^Mauraders sells a Robocop gun. I think it's like $2.50 for a pair of them.

snake5289 · 02-21-2014, 06:22 PM

Cool. I used the one that came with the Crysis 2 guy.

Trivial Psychic · 02-21-2014, 10:16 PM

Found Mutagen Man at Target tonight looking for Marvel Legends...

And after finally running into a single Han on the peg twice at two different places amongst a sea of Greedos and Leias, I sorta figured that the Star Wars Gods were trying to tell me something...so Han finally found a home with me. An amazing figure, and it really has me looking forward now to Chewy, Vader, Jedi Luke and that wicked Speeder Bike that debuted at Toy Fair. I'm actually somewhat excited about Star Wars toys again!

Trivial Psychic · 02-22-2014, 07:58 PM

Busy day today, but I got lucky in a few places...

Started the day by heading over to TRU, got lucky and was able to find the new Alien wave. Picked up Big Chap and Warrior Xeno from TRU.

While at TRU, I noticed that they were running a Lego promo, and while I loved all of the new Marvel sets, it was the Megablocks sets (I LOVE the WW2 Call Of Duty stuff!) and the Kreos that stole the show for me, especially these little D&D army builder mini figs. I just thought they were too cool to pass up.

Finally, ended the day at a local Target, where I found Spider-Girl and Boomerang Marvel Legends. I ended up passing on the Boomerang because he had some horrendous paint apps, but I did end up picking up the Spider-Girl...who I was one of those "I'll pick it up if it looks good in person" figs for me. Nevertheless, I really liked the mold and paint apps they used for her. Hopefully we can get an X-23 using a similar mold in the near future.

Saw the new TMNT stuff at Wal-Mart a few nights ago. Nothing really caught my interest though. I came really close to picking up that Han around Christmas time but went with Boba instead. I don't really collect 6 inch stuff but man he just looked too awesome. I'll probably end up getting ROTJ Luke as well.

yeah, boba fett is a great figure.

i really want a six inch version of general grevious.. he's perfect for the 6 inch scale.

i'd also like a bunch of phase 2 clones.. like cody, gree, bly.. and hell, throw rex in there as well.

while the prequels weren't very good.. i still love general grevious and the look of the clones.

snake5289 · 02-23-2014, 12:29 AM

I would get Grevious and Rex no question. The Samurai Jack-esque Clone Wars showed how awesome Grevious was but also made him look like a bitch in EPIII.

I initially told myself that I wasn't going to go too heavy into the Black Series when they released...but there was just something about the Han that I really loved. He's a really good figure, and every accessory he has serves a purpose. I love that he can actually wear both of the belts at the same time, and hold the stormtrooper blaster with two hands.

Other than Han, I currently only have Maul and Boba, but since getting Han, I've found myself getting excited for a lot of what was shown at Toy Fair this year, especially if they hold up quality wise. Chewie, Vader and Luke all looked fantastic, and that speeder bike has my mouth watering, as that was and still is my favorite stormtrooper design ever.

Shadowninja · 02-23-2014, 11:30 AM

I scored Mara Jade and Darth PLageuis the other day at the disney store in indianapols,in as well. They had like 30 4 inch black series and one plageuis who was in the back. Maybe I grabbed one someone else was gonna get. oh well mine now.

I've came close to picking up Maul so many times but every time I kept saying "dammit I don't buy 6 inch figures" and then I turn around and buy Boba. I guess it's because he's my #2 favorite SW character.
