Oh yeah I got the price match, $9.10 after tax. Straight cash homie. I don't think I would pay $15 unless it was delivered.
Still looking for catwoman and unmasked batman though.

I don't think they're sold anywhere else. maybe you could try a comic shop for a loose one. I dunno.

Which retailer did you use to price match with? I was attempting this recently but didnt see the Penguin listed on the major retailer sites.

Wal mart had azrael for $8.32, I got TRU to match that price(they had an azrael at TRU) plus sales tax. TRU was able to price supes the same.

not a toy but hopefully a blast from childhood past. found a voltron fleet of doom dvd for. 1.62. New. don't remember this car voltrn but I did love those damn lions alot

KcKilla · 07-09-2014, 11:14 AM

POW! I missed out on the awesome online sale so I was on the hunt for this wave. Knowing it had hit parts of Canada last week, and armed with the knowledge that my KC area TRU had just put out a shipment this morning, I headed there a few minutes before opening, hoping for a hit, Carnage, Black Cat, Stormtrooper, ANYTHING? Too many pegwarmers for the Cap and ASM waves so no restock in sight there, and GOTG seem to be all gone (snagged Rocket and Nova at Target already, waiting on the rest)but sure enough I found a full fresh case of these beauties!(only one they got confirmed)

TLDR; X-Men Tru exclusive wave spotted at retail in Kansas City, I have to say they look even better in person, was not planning on getting Logan but he looks way better than the stock photos so I snagged him leaving only a Cyclops, Strife, and Wolverine on the pegs. Happy hunting ladies and gents.

Well my NECA one has arrived:

Overall, they both have their positives and negatives. Both of their sculpts are incredible, and as stated, the silver highlighting on the MA one does show off his detailing better than the NECA one. On the other hand, the NECA one looks slimy and more like he did in the movie. My only real issue with the NECA Alien is that I have joints that are too loose and joints that are too tight and I have no idea why. His right shoulder is looser than it should be while his left shoulder is so tight I have to press down hard with my palm to get it to move. The bendy tail is both a positive and negative for the NECA one, but ultimately, the NECA one to me is the superior of the two for the head alone as the dome looks movie accurate as shown in this picture from the Alien Vault book:

EDIT:

I forgot the most important picture of all :-):

They did release it on DVD sometime back. You can order it on Amazon. Just search for Dairugger XV.

Dr Kain · 07-10-2014, 12:19 AM

Except Volume 3 went out of print before it even hit shelves. There was only one shipment of that volume so it runs around the $100+ mark.

Phantomcrow · 07-10-2014, 12:43 AM

You were not alone KCKilla :-) I found 2 TRU in the KC area with full untouched cases on the pegs at TRU. I bought the 4 with BAF parts. The Logan is nice but no hurry at all for him. The Stryfe I have been wanting for more than a decade and he is one of the best ML I have seen. And did you see the face of Apocalypse in the sword hilt? Nice touch.

Also found 2 Black Widow at wal mart Tuesday night. It was the first I had seen of the case with 2 Widow, 2 Cap, 2 WS, and 2 Now Cap. Now I am done with a second Mandroid and bought the other Widow for a friend who has never found one.

Also snagged the new Spy and Engineer for Team Fortress 2 for another friend.

Also TRU got in the 8-bit Predator. I had no self control today.

And lastly, got my Dick Tracy, The Blank, and The Tick from GBJR toys in the mail.

Nice! Good to hear that Stryfe turned out so well. I've got two of them preordered, one is going to be made into a custom Cable. I figure there's no better base for him than his "twin."

Dr Kain · 07-10-2014, 06:53 AM

WTF is up with that Cyclops?

Still cannot believe Jubilee is the BAF though. All I think of for her now is this:

Are you asking where the design is from? Current comics. He's had it for a while now, ever since Marvel turned him into a pretty dark character. I believe he was a villain (or anti-hero) for at least a short while... I don't know all the details, I fell off from X-Men comics after Schism.

I've always thought the X shape replacing his visor looks stupid. A lot of people seem to like the new look, though.

Falconhood · 07-10-2014, 09:51 AM

Yeah, I've never seen that look for him and it just looks down right stupid. He looks so bland without a visor on. It's like he wanted to be Multiple Man but without eyes. Hey, Daredevil called and said he wants his mask back. He has now gone from Cyclops to Noclops. Well, I guess Scott ran into Odysseus.
