The "look at what i passed up" thread.

bmorr · 06-06-2012, 11:02 AM

Every store i went to today followed the same pattern of the same four gi joe figs. duke, the rock, snake eyes, and storm shadow. its like the cobra ninjas disappeared after a week.

kdawg01970 · 06-06-2012, 12:19 PM

I have all the gijoes except the gijoe trooper w/ blue and the blue cobra commander. All the stores around me are just dukes and roadblocks now. But yeah i passed up on that horrible dark knight mm 2 pack, bane looks straight up awful.

Yeah bro, I haven't even seen a full section of Joes. I was able to pick up a Zartan the other day at WM Raynham. I'd like to pick up some red ninjas but the lack of selection and 9.99 price tag are turning me off. I feel like people who wouldn't regularly buy Joes are getting them because of the movie snafu. Eather that or the lack of product for the last year has caused a feeding frenzy with these movie figs. I think i will do what I did with the first movie figures: pick them up on clearence come Christmas time.

Retaliation Joes are a hot ticket for Joe collectors and resellers. the Red Ninjas cross the line and appeal to Marvel collectors as well, making them even hotter in demand. aside from the screws on their legs, they are outstanding figures.

remember they will all be re-released when that movie finally launches. whats happening now is the "i gotta have it" frenzy, which is very commonplace in our hobby.

Rockblock, SS, SE, Duke will be pegwarmers because that's their inherent nature.

Yup and once all retail has put them all out, no more restock until the movie comes out next year...

D00MTR0N · 06-06-2012, 09:05 PM

the nothing retail is currently offering.

Passed on a grip of Heimdall's today and SA Spidey cause it was $12.99 and I can wait.

Heimdall ? What store you see those at? Did the other frost giant make it too?

ChuckSass · 06-07-2012, 11:34 PM

ugh, that Spider Man and his Amazing Friends boxset was 20 dollars at TRU, I passed up for Classic Ms. Marvel thinking she'd be of worth.
Since then Firestar has been the hardest figure to find, and I still dont have her.

1andonly5711 · 06-08-2012, 02:26 AM

when was this that set is like 60$ on bay

Lol, it would have been when Rihanna's Rated R came out because I distinctly remember it on in the car so October/November 2009. It goes for like $100 and the people wanna sell her for like $40–60

D00MTR0N · 06-08-2012, 06:55 PM

passed up the entire new spiderman line.

I only want that ultra posable one, other than that its just for spider-man fanboys and kids who want all those costumes

jesterkiller · 06-10-2012, 12:56 PM

passed on some 6" avengers yesterday. had a case except for hulk. i only ended up getting loki and hawkeye. the thor had terrible paint rub on his neck and face or i'd have gotten him

Winners up here had Heimdall sprouting like weeds a few months back and some still have him kicking around, and for $7.99. Zellers usually has Heimdall but at $17.99 it's not a good deal once shipped.

Do you mean the deluxe Frost Giant or the normal one? I've seen lots of both up here but I think they are all gone. I know Wal-Mart had a ton before they went clearance. If you mean King Laufey, I've never seen him in person.

Boba Fettuccini · 06-10-2012, 04:36 PM

Passed up Movie Lizard, black Cobra Commander and the rest of the GI Joe figs... I don't want to spring on those yet, though SS would make an excellent base for custom Tron Legacy Daft Punk figures. The upper bodies are nearly identical.

Exodus · 06-11-2012, 07:24 PM

Passed up on the Super Heroes Marvel X-Men...although may get it but at 25 dang...

D00MTR0N · 06-12-2012, 09:40 AM

the whole spiderman line,looks like junk.

Iceman · 06-16-2012, 11:38 AM

Is anyone looking for the Retaliation 3-pack with the Red Ninja and SS/SE? They have them "on sale" up here but it's still $25.

My walmart has had a constant warm shelf of 5x iron man, 1 cap and a thor I took back because part of his costume was missing. Going on 2 weeks now but nothing new.

I got that set solely for the Red Ninja and his conical hat. If you want some ninjas with good gear, treat yourself!

I see more and more of that Retaliation line now and I pass every time. The only figures I wanted from that line were Red Ninja and the GI Joe Trooper.

BigHanksCustoms · 06-16-2012, 01:03 PM

Passed on YJ Artemis and RedArrow at Marshalls for $14.99

They also had last year's Spiderman 6inch line for $7.99 I think.

Some DotM Transformers Voyagers and Deluxes, nothing I don't have already.

bmorr · 06-18-2012, 01:51 PM

stopped at a general store on the way home and stopped in, found avengers BW, Hawkeye, and Skrull Soldier. I couldnt budge on them because they were charging 15 dollars a fig.

DogFashionDisco · 06-18-2012, 02:04 PM

Same here, maybe they'll get marked down?
