Wow...just wow. Wonder what exactly they were going for with this. Red fist of doom??

Was determined to do some buying today in Glasgow but ended up coming home empty handed...

Passed up:
Marvel Legends Spider Gwen - some damage to the hood
Marvel Legends Venom from the same wave as above - was gone when I returned to store
Marvel Legends Back In Black Deadpool - taste was bitter after putting back the Spider Gwen and missing the Venom so I left the store empty handed

ALMOST picked up a NECA Pennywise from a different store but the price was more than I was willing to pay compared to online prices.

Nooooooo idea. But I could tell the material was old school football jersey.

saw Thor's Hammer at the Walmart in Minden, LA and saw those mego figures at a local target.

saw the tie fighter at a gamestop in minden, la as well. the girl working there said they've been out for a month or so, but i've never seen them at any gamestop tho.

Grimace93 · 07-27-2018, 09:52 PM

Went to Gamestop to preorder 2 figures and had to pass on the snoke and the chip and dale figures cause I had no money for figures left

they also had the Scrooge figure

tgbobafett · 08-02-2018, 04:04 PM

Mego seems to be making a comeback at target heh

Bearjew · 08-10-2018, 12:58 PM

This swindle was a good one. I was surprised to find it. Most people want the brown Wolverine. Anyway. Here it is with the BAF.

I also found magneto, venom, carnage, and Typhoid. Passed on all, wasnt feeling it.

tgbobafett · 08-10-2018, 02:34 PM

the ecto 1's look kinda cool but idk if i want one that small or not

the nano metal figure holder varies on walmarts apparently, cuz i saw some clearanced for only $15 and then another store had them for $9! I only have gizmoduck, but still thought they were kinda neat (especially since they are only $5 and they light up)

Weapon X · 08-15-2018, 12:33 PM

I passed up the Everett Ross and Killmonger 2 pack, the Bucky and Falcon pack, and the single carded Killmonger.

Everett wasn't too hard because the Killmonger head looked okay, and I hate the paint on his costume compared to the single carded. I really only want Everett so I'll try to get him by himeself later. And I'll get the upcoming single carded Killmonger for the head. The single carded was hard, I can't believe it's not on sale though.

Bucky and Falcon was super hard too. I don't have a single version of either character and the paint apps were fantastic!!

Dropped by the local TRU today to see what's up. I kinda wanted to buy these:

-Black Series exclusive Storm Trooper with LED light-up blast effects
-Marvel Legends Iron Man for 40% off
-Marvel Legends X-Force Deadpool for 40% off
-PooPeez Toilet Launcher (Log/PooFO)

...but I passed on the lot because I was actually just looking for a certain .99c Hotwheels car. Maybe next time...

Cheers!

Dam!!!! Is that stormtrooper 6” black series? Never knew it existed.

Penguino · 09-11-2018, 06:14 AM

It it's, hitting TRU Canada and Disney Strong for the US this fall.

But despite the price no LEDs are in those effects.

I feel bad for kids these days, they get more gross-out toys than anything and I see that crap rotting on pegs til it either hits deep clearance or a desperate parent buys it for Christmas

I thought it said so on the back of the box. Oh well, a great opportunity lost on Hasbro's part. $50 and no LEDs?! Hahah. I was considering getting it just for the light up effects pieces, but not now.

tierneygreen · 09-14-2018, 02:02 PM

Spotted these gems at my local Target the other day. Swappers are among the worst kind of douchebags.

Augustus_Cole · 10-03-2018, 07:10 PM

I actually would have liked to pick up both but these two are exactly the kinds of figures i need to STOP buying. Things that just look decent and would be "cool" to have as opposed to figs I REALLY want!!!

it took awhile but DC is actually getting better!!

Tomax · 10-03-2018, 07:54 PM

i went to my local walmart & finally they had a bunch of legends and Multiverse. (they are always empty, im talking about for years) i wanted to buy the 2-pack/tony stark and mark 1 but didnt...the harley multiverse fig seems alittle on the thick side, harley to me should be on the thin side

tgbobafett · 10-14-2018, 08:06 AM

no pictures, but i saw the new mcfarlane star trek figures at a local walgreens!

Augustus_Cole · 10-16-2018, 04:24 AM

didnt even know these were a thing...

Penguino · 10-16-2018, 06:44 AM

That's DC figures for you. Stuff never comes out so you forget it was even produced.

Bearjew · 10-16-2018, 03:17 PM

All of this today

I hadnt even noticed! Good stuff.

Zorn88 · 10-16-2018, 07:19 PM

I'm still annoyed that Walmart switched to shelves. Do they not have brains?

Penguino · 10-16-2018, 08:10 PM

God yes! I walk past the Legends all the time and it's like digging through fucking walls of Funko Pops looking to see if they got anything
