The "look at what i passed up" thread.

Byrnes · 10-03-2014, 12:39 PM

Looked like a decent deal. But I already have a Clutch. This was a Tradesmart. Pretty cool nerd store I just discovered in Denver area.

Frank Richards · 10-03-2014, 08:48 PM

The paint on each of these comic TMNT figures was horrible, especially around the eyes, so I passed. I guess I'm just going to be patient and buy these whenever I find some with decent paint, like I did with the other recent TMNT figures that I've purchased

Edit: Oh yeah, I finally spotted Tiger Claw as well.

For those that missed them the first time around, Waspinator and Skids are popping up again in that re-release wave !
Oh yeah, and I spotted Gears & Eclipse and Acid Storm & Venin.

Trivial Psychic · 10-04-2014, 05:56 PM

I ran into most of the new DC Multiverse figures today. Picked up the new Batman and Two-Face, but I'm not sure what it was exactly...but I couldn't bring myself to picking these up. The paint apps on Scarecrow were all over the place, and the Red Hood...ugh...no accessories and a closed fist hand instead of two open ones that can clutch his trademark pistols? No thanks.

Also ran into the new Transformers wave...Windblade was an easy pick up, but I was really looking forward to (and was disappointed by) Jhiaxus. He seemed really plain as the paint apps were lacking. Almost like a Family Dollar or Big Lot "transformer" toy if you get my drift. Perhaps if Reprolabels makes a set for him, I'll scoop him up. I have a feeling he'll be warming pegs for a while.

Nightbeat and Crosscut were also an easy pass...being that I have no idea who Crosscut is and I LOATHE that modern Bumblebee mold.

Iceman · 10-04-2014, 06:50 PM

Oddly enough I found that Nightbeat at a discount store along with Acid Storm and Gears.

Also, some Star Wars Black is showing up at discount stores here.

Was really tempted.

Target FINALLY starts carrying MI and it's a bunch of wave 1. Wave 1 is going to be clogging shelves for a long time to come here.

That's about what it looked like the last time I was in Target as well. Total bummer.

Bradsdadg · 10-05-2014, 05:37 AM

That's a good price on those TMNT figs, Iceman

En Sabah Nerd · 10-11-2014, 05:16 PM

Is anybody else finding the SDCC exclusive Tyrion at Target? Cause I found some at Target for some reason, already have the Walgreens version so I passed, but weird.

Bradsdadg · 10-12-2014, 05:04 AM

^ Saw him in Target but didn't notice if the Con sticker was on it or not. I was hoping to see The Book Of Life Legacy figures in stores but haven't seen any yet...

I haven't heard of anyone finding those so far, maybe they'll release closer to the movie's release. I guess maybe Funko had a good deal of the convention exclusives left so they gave them to Target or something. Walmart still just has the regular ones, same for Hastings, but somehow Target has the SDCC Tyrion. The other figures all had the convention stickers too, but this is the Tyrion with the helmet and "battle damage" face-scar.

Phantomcrow · 10-16-2014, 12:13 PM

Almost bought this for a Gasoline Fight Accident

Saw the new TF Mashers in person for the first time. REALLY bothers me that Rodimus has no Autobot logo on his chest.

And this strange decorate a severed head Monster High set.

Phantomcrow · 10-24-2014, 10:46 AM

Saw the all new remote controlled MANTIS Halo Megabloks at Target and Walmart.

Saw another restock case of WS Legends at TRU

Also saw 3 new LOTR Lego sets. I will pick up this set later.

Defzombie · 10-24-2014, 12:17 PM

Saw this at a thrift store, but i passed because they wanted $100 for it. It looked complete with some of the parts in bags.

Defzombie · 10-24-2014, 12:21 PM

passed this up at another thrift store yesterday too. It was also around $100.

kylactus · 10-24-2014, 12:30 PM

Damn! your thrift stores run by scalpers or what?

En Sabah Nerd · 10-25-2014, 04:59 PM

So the Reaction line has never been something I was hoping for, it's just not to my liking. Some people like it and I get that, but hot damn this error I caught was funny.

Kernel · 10-25-2014, 07:11 PM

^ I saw those at TRU too.
Also saw the bad blood predator from NECA. Walked around with it... Almost got it, but at $25 I had to pass. It was a sick looking predator with the trophy heads and predator skull. I'll have to stay happy with my lone night storm predator. No pick but the paint an accessories on bad blood looked sharp.

Falconhood · 10-25-2014, 08:26 PM

Passed on

Saw this at Target today, 6 figs also includes DarthVader off pic on left #starwars #starwarsrebels #starwarstoys 12" series by SacredKnightOfTomorrow, on Flickr

It'll be funny if I find out that Freddys with only one stripe on the shirt are actually super rare and super valuable factory flukes. They did have a ton of Bad Blood at my store too, though it's not worth $5 more to me. Great accessories and what not, but the figure is still only as big as any other predator. Night Storm is a great figure though if you're only gonna have one.

Phantomcrow · 10-29-2014, 05:30 PM

Did not know TRU was getting a color set of these.

These hot wheels are pretty cool.

I had never come across Brainiac before.

Bradsdadg · 10-29-2014, 06:38 PM

I saw that Lego Advent calendar the other day. $40 is just too much to spend on it though...

Still that much there?

It must be in a ritzy area.

305Batman · 10-30-2014, 07:12 AM

Saw five 6-inch stormtroopers at TRU

3233rafael · 10-30-2014, 10:19 AM

I hadn't visited my local Mattel Outlet Store in a while...
