That looks awful.

Have these been spotted anywhere else? We don't have the Ross stores around here. Just Target, Walmart, Toys R Us.

*edit I am seeing them online but not in person. Walmart has it for 19 bucks and TRU 30. The pic looks like 10 bucks! Nuts, lol

You could try TJ Maxx or Marshalls, if they're in your area. They are comparable with Ross, as far as deep-discount stores are concerned.

If it had better paint apps and a faceplate, I'd buy it. Then again, I've never really had a problem with the movie aesthetic. I have had problems with some of the toys based on it, though.

Unless a better version of Op from AOE shows up, I think my TF4 purchases will be limited to the Dinobots for now.

I can send you one for $10, tax and whatever shipping is.

Iceman · 05-02-2014, 03:36 PM

I find it ironic the GotG packs getting cleared out finally now that the movie is set to drop soon. A movie that has a whole toy line attached to it.

snake5289 · 05-02-2014, 05:05 PM

I saw one lone GotG pack at Ross today myself and a couple of ML Jim Lee Jean Greys and a lone (I guess) modern Hawkeye at TJ Maxx.

Goldengreg · 05-03-2014, 06:37 AM

Passed a GoG at the Ross near Disneyworld yesterday as well since I already have them... I'm sure many people will regret the pass in 3 months

cidman911 · 05-06-2014, 12:15 PM

This looked bad ass for the price but I don't really collect Power Rangers stuff.

Thank you, I appreciate the offer! I am going to try and find it in person but we will see how that goes, lol. I did do a preorder on BBTS for the GotG Legends Series. Can't wait for this movie

cidman911 · 05-08-2014, 12:23 PM

I can do loose shipping too. Just trying to help.

The more I see these the more I want one.

Say what!! And you didn't buy them? I know lots of people here are still looking for those figures.

snake5289 · 05-08-2014, 01:33 PM

Sorry I wasn't aware and I don't really collect MLs. I went back up last weekend but they were gone.

Oh no worries I was just crying in my beer, hehe. I'll find one (I hope).

Phantomcrow · 05-10-2014, 10:55 AM

Saw these at TRU this week. I think the Angelina likeness is not bad.

Phantomcrow · 05-10-2014, 10:58 AM

Also saw these at Walmart.

Bothers me that Hobgoblins face is green.

Phantomcrow · 05-10-2014, 11:03 AM

Saw the first sign of new Monster High dolls at Target.

And finally found some of these playsets at TRU. They would be great for something that is 4 or 5 inch scale, but to small for Marvel Legends.

have seen this set a million times and passed it up every time and I bet that when I can no longer get it i'll want it and end up paying more for it then.

Falconhood · 05-11-2014, 01:46 AM

I've seen people buy those doll furniture sets and use them for Marvel Legends. Kinda funny pictures, they'd make.
I keep passing-up on Godzilla, and These things:

I saw those Power Rangers last Saturday, and haven't seen them again. I guess I should have bought them, and scalped them on eBay. Lol, no, I don't have time for that.

it...it just looks so wrong.

aefranci · 05-11-2014, 03:46 PM

Do those gi joe vehicles work well for mu?? I'm thinking about picking some up...just wish they were more realistic looking

kylactus · 05-11-2014, 04:53 PM

most of them work pretty good, unless it's a larger figure like hulk, the joes are closer to the 3.75 mark than MU,
but I've painted a few into SHEILD vehicles, there good background purposes.

Sword-swallowing Gojira, or rough night at Taco Bell: you be the judge.

In all seriousness, I am definitely not a fan of gimmicks that ruin what could have been decent toys.

snake5289 · 05-12-2014, 11:57 AM

I went with the tiny Godzilla that was like $8. Came with this little breakable building and jet.

Agreed. This one is too weird to me.
