cool pic man, u must have a decent camera... I would of slightly turned warpath's arm so that the arm joint hole wasn't showing, make it look more real, but other then that nice shot and toys!

Optimus Vader · 06-20-2011, 06:34 AM

That picture was taken with my iPhone. I should've turned T-bird's hand, but after they fell over 17 times I didn't want to touch them anymore.

Here's a couple more of the Indian X-Men..

Nice pics, are you using a dslr or normal digital camera? You've inspired me to pose Thunderbird and warbird together.

Optimus Vader · 06-20-2011, 06:54 AM

It's just an iPhone.

omega145 · 06-20-2011, 08:38 AM

Maybe I should have read your previous post..... the lighting must have been perfect to have the shots come out that good. Your outdoor shots always come out good.

Jason Abbadon · 06-20-2011, 09:40 AM

Yes- Red Star! I just ow got it and he's looking good for Fury.
Way the hell better than the send away's head sculpt at any rate.

He looks kinda grizzled and a bit older than the average soldier and that really works here.

Optimus, those pics are great- that Thunderbird really loos great- and better still next to Warpath!

Overseas they are.

omega145 · 06-20-2011, 10:57 AM

I was just thinking to myself, when is the street release date for these in the US?
Did you buy that Strange and Doom on eBay or are you foreign? The TRU price tag says 42.90 which is probably a foreign currency.

Symbiote · 06-20-2011, 11:07 AM

And the tags say toysrus. I'm wondering now if these will be out at sdcc(which is only a month away, hooray). I have the next mu wave on presale on bbts. Anyone know the turn around on bbts orders when new stuff hits retail?

Optimus Vader · 06-20-2011, 11:14 AM

I bet peeps out in Cali spot this wave before SDCC.

I'm in San Diego and I haven't seen crap. I barely even see the latest cable and cyclops wave out.

I have only seen up to Ghost Rider wave. And 2 figures from Thanos wave. Seen nothing since. Not sure why its so hard for retailers and Hasbro to get stock out here. Like...uuuhhhgggg

When you start a sentence with "I'm in SD," you can't finish it with a complaint. That has to be some sort of violation.

I'm just saying I'd think these might start hitting US retail in a couple of weeks because they were spotted in a few other countries about a week ago. Maybe not, but I wouldn't be shocked.

Hopefully those 3 packs start showing up too.

Symbiote · 06-20-2011, 12:50 PM

Talking to some of workers at the retail store, I think ca might have the worst scalpers. For example, I have yet to see a taskmaster & deadpool pack on a peg. Workers at tru say there will be like 3-4 guys who wait for the store to open and swoop up on all the goodies. The good stuff doesn't even make it onto a peg. I guess it could be the same elsewhere. That's my only compliant. Other than that, yes SD is wonderful.

omega145 · 06-20-2011, 01:01 PM

I thought those 3 packs arent being released at retail....?

Please don't say that...

Symbiote · 06-20-2011, 01:10 PM

I'm waiting on these too. Got the preorder on bbts. According to wikipedia, they are saying July 2011 for classic avengers, x force and fantastic three. Take that information for what it is though. They don't say if it is exclusive to any store.

Optimus Vader · 06-20-2011, 01:11 PM

Symbiote, we're loaded with scalpers out here too.. a few post in the TFW2005 sightings forums.. they like to post false sightings.

I honestly have no clue, but I sure as hell hope you're wrong. I want that X-Force set and the F4 set.

retail in asia. went for a 2 week vacation in Kuala Lumpur, capital of Malaysia. was totally shocked when saw this wave on the peg in that local TRU. One of the TRU assistant told me that she just unwrapped the figures from the box bout an hour ago before I spotted them. lucky me. snapped the only 2 doctor strange available from that box of 24 figures, both flawless paint job. can't resist the darker-green-doom which i think suits him way better than the comic 2 pack version with absorbing man. passed on Skaar, Scarlett Spider and Falcon though, due to poor paint jobs in most of them. this wave will arrive very soon here in a couple of weeks, so hang on guys

Symbiote · 06-20-2011, 01:46 PM

Agreed on that optimus. Scalpers suck all over. It really makes the hunt frustrating. I tend to use this hobbie to relieve stress, not add to it. My roommate and also fellow arker caught one guy nabbing some transformers awhile back that had a cart full of stuff. The guy tried to sell him a starscreem for 25 bucks in the parking lot. My roommate then said,"or I can grab this one from you now since you got 4 of them." Share the wealth man!

On another note,
Thanks jason for the info on the quake hold. I just got this stuff off amazon for 5 bucks. Hopefully it will prevent coming home to this

He is the destroyer of your collection, lol.

omega145 · 06-20-2011, 03:04 PM

Haha, great pic symbiote. Same thing happened to me and I've got galactus standing over about
60 other marvel universe and iron man 2 figures. Luckily nothing broke but rearranging sure was a mess.

I'm going to get some quake hold once I move and start my toy room. Thanks for the tip.

Optimus Vader · 06-20-2011, 04:56 PM

Anyone else get their ripped off SDCC Red Skull yet?

Mine came packaged really well and in really good shape. I wish I had his cane, but still not bad at all for $13.
