The "look at what i passed up" thread.

soundwavempl · 10-01-2013, 01:01 PM

Found and left these at one of my local Hastings. They are $42.99 each.

Falconhood · 10-01-2013, 05:38 PM

Passed on this at Wal-MArt

I passed on these...just TOO generic, and look like they are total crap (at Roses)

Phantomcrow · 10-02-2013, 11:47 PM

Saw the other 2 Minecraft figures this week of Steve and Zombie.

Also saw this really cool Power Rangers Mask collection. They are close to about 1/6th scale set of helmets of the original 6 rangers.

soundwavempl · 10-04-2013, 11:18 AM

I found these at my local Ross for $5.99 each:

There were 3 of each but I got one Bumblebee for a fellow board member. The date stamp was 32101, which means they were produced around July of this year. I guess Hasbro did another production run of these figures.

Weren't people paying a ton for those at one point?

Yes. Our resident Newsie included

Maybe I'll finally have a chance to grab the voyagers at some point without resorting to Ebay. That's the only scale for Prime FE I have yet to see return to retail (aside from the Starscream/Bumblebee Entertainment Pack).

Hell, I feel bad for paying TRU prices for those deluxes when they first "re-appeared" at retail earlier this year. I can only imagine how those who paid Ebay prices last year are feeling.

Yup that was me here too. I way over paid on the voyagers especially! Only cause I started to watch the series and got hooked on them and decided to buy the FE's, even though I saw all of the deluxes at one point in time but passed on them. That's why now with TF I'm very patient.

Could not tell for sure without opening them but I am guessing that they are solid and possibly attached to the base.

oh, that's not fun. maybe someone will buy them and review them soon.

Exodus · 10-09-2013, 02:14 PM

Anyone spot these at your Local Targets? Total pass for me, almost like the tall plastic Prime that TRU and Target were trying to move...

Iceman · 10-09-2013, 02:32 PM

My kid would love that though.

They are hollow on the inside and they are not attached to the base. The base had little pegs that the helmets sit on. Each helmet is split in half as well (the front and back). They snap back together and hold pretty easily.

Cool, I will have to pass on them for now with all the stuff that showed this week in the mail.

Total pass as well, Been seeing a lot of this Titan Class stuff from Hasbro. If I had kids I might think about them, but as a collector, no way.

Phantomcrow · 10-09-2013, 11:20 PM

Found a ton of the Movie Joes (series 3.5?) The strange thing was there were about 4 or 5 cases worth on the pegs and not a single Duke or Cobra Combat Ninja. and the pegs were full.

Also saw the new edition of the TRU exclusive Star Wars Republic Gunship.

Goldengreg · 10-10-2013, 05:22 AM

Is it the old Gunship mold's but with movie-accurate turret-bubbles added on the side?
Or a totally new mold?

You really have to be, and it's good practice for any other line you might want to collect as well. Can't find that new Nick TMNT figure (*COUGH* mousers *COUGH*)? Just wait, it'll show up eventually.

Kinda tempted by the War Machine one (because it's Rhodey), but otherwise I think they're all crap - especially the TFP ones. I'm not even sure my daughter would want any of them, since they don't do much. If I want cheap statues, I'll just get the new Avengers Assemble figures.

Same old mold as always with Hasbro. but new paint job and the bubbles are nice.

Phantomcrow · 10-10-2013, 09:30 AM

Check Wal-Marts for some TMNT. I just spotted this floor display yesterday full of new figures.

soundwavempl · 10-17-2013, 10:49 AM

I saw these at TRU today and wanted to get them for my Jedi Knight army but I couldn't do it for $39.99 each. I had no idea these sets were coming out.

I saw them also, but for a bunch of generic Jedi, I will wait till a B1G1 sale happens. At least the Ewoks were unique and different.

trebleshot · 10-17-2013, 11:27 AM

Saw two new-ish Star Wars exclusives at K-Mart: Scanning Crew and Ewok Catapult. While it was an easy pass, I like that they kind of fit in with their previous exclusives.

Panthro1978 · 10-18-2013, 09:19 AM

Passed on the Wolverine Legends and an IM3 Iron Patriot, which I should have bought in hindsight. Oh well.
