Special consideration will be given to anyone wanting to trade the following figures.

Marvel Universe classic Ultimate Spider-Man, Mystique, Scarlet Witch, Kang, the new Punisher and Paper Bag Man Spidey.

Sorry I didn't post this last night it took me longer than I thought to get everything posted and it was like 6AM in the morning.

After that it's first come first serve so those who have already messaged me will have dibs.

Thanks again!

This is better suited to PM's or your BST, not this thread. It's one thing to advertise that you have new stuff listed, but leave it to the other members to PM you or go to your BST for more information. Thanks.

Mind if I ask where you get those cases for MOC MU?

They're Star Cases from Protech. They're a little pricey, but if you buy in bulk they're not as bad. Splitting the cost with others is a pretty good idea too.

Here's the link, just scroll down to "THE ACTION FIGURE CASE™ for NEWER G.I. JOE'S AND SIMILAR"

Heads up to you other Star Case peeps, I bought a BUNCH of these about two months ago, and they now fit the 2012 line without any problems. (They used to crush the angled corner on the left.

I believe a version of Hags' clear figure holder is available on this page too, under "LOOSE ACTION FIGURE PREMIUM DISPLAY"

I've heard a lot of reviews saying that Scarlet's face isn't nearly as good in production as it was in the prototypes. You seem to feel the same way. Do you think it's an issue, or just early production problems?

Maybe (probably) I'm wrong and this suff will hit the pegs soon, and be easy to get, but I just don't want to leave it to chance, I never saw clear vision or strange at retail, I never saw metal absorbing man at retail, and I can almost guarantee I'll never see upside down beast, bag spidey, or miles at retail. Which is probably just my own bad luck.

But now I don't have to worry about it.

I get it, I do. I once saw Metal Absorbing Man at retail, and it was at an LCS who had gotten an early case. TRU got them once or twice, but the figure was LONG gone by the time I got there (I wasn't as on my game as I am now).

It takes a lot of effort to hunt efficiently. Nightly commutes to Walmarts takes it's toll on your whole life, and proves fruitless 98% of the time. Watching Target's website every morning before they open, getting up early enough to make it down there as they open, while easier, is still a LONG waiting game, and they always seem to restock on the one day of the week where you absolutely can't make it over there. TRU's "We have no way of knowing what's coming," is the worst. You basically have to be there at opening on the day the truck came in every single time they get a truck, and even then, employees are likely to pull stuff out while they're restocking.

Hunting isn't easy anymore, and the LONG drought nearly killed the line in many ways. When I started, you could go to a random Walmart or Target, and maybe find something still on their pegs from a year eariler. It was a nice mix of the things in the line. Now, every place has the same tired wave and the same tired warmers. There's nothing new except restock, and restock hasn't been good since February.

Still, there's something to be said for the returnability of retail. When those same Spidey figs you pulled off the shelf go on clearance for $3 each, you can buy them at the lower price and return them on the older receipt if you hang onto it. It's a waiting game that usually turns out in your favor.

$11 a figure is a lot. I know we're used to it because we've been getting beat down during the hiatus, and we're willing to pay anything just to have new stuff now, but these figures really shouldn't be more than $6-8, especially when the ML figures are $15. We're quickly getting to the point that MU will be $15 each and ML will be $20, and I just can't justify it to myself.

Maybe with Wave 19 I'll actually go through with my preorder, but I can't be sure. I feel better spending my money on toys in small increments, rather than $100 cases.

You pretty much have to do all of that. If you're lucky, you can find another collector locally and split the cost of the case. If you're not, you could be stuck with spares, and end up eating the cost of the extras.

I think that It's an issue, they just didn't make the mold exactly like the face from the production model, I doubt it'll change ever. That's just the way her mug is gonna be.

The jubilee derpy face I'd venture to say is a early production/qc issue, it's fixable, but I don't know if it will be fixed.

The one I got outa the case is one of the better ones I've seen, but still not superb.

The second one in the case looked like her right eye was melting off her face.

Hasbro shoulda at least thrown us a bone, and made her glasses moveable, so as to cover that mess up.

Resolute Baroness' glasses on a Helix head would work nicely as a replacment head.

It's too bad, her proto face was incredible.

I'll work out a deal if anyone wants to go bulk.

I'm also willing to trade for MU.

Thanks!

happy birthday gunz! Have a good hunting day and my the Marvel Universe grant you some sweet figs my dude!

I would think this is a fairly decent price. I'm gonna wait for it on the shelf, but if you wanna grab one there ya go.

That is a fair price, but they sold out in about 4 hours! All gone.

Cheers dude!

What's the word on the gigantic battle sets? There was nothing at the SDCC about Fin Fang Foom or anything else was there? Ironic considering the Superheli had pics of the Masters of Evil with a Whirlwind and a Bad Goliath - Bad Goliath being a no-brainer Hasbro friendly repaint option.

Do any of those guys have UV cases? Or does anyone have them?

[synapse17]

I emailed BBT because on their site they have the Ultimate Spider-man figure listed but if you read the description, it says that you could get one of ether version, the classic and the MM and that it would be randomly picked. So I messaged them to ask if there was any way of getting the classic Ultimate Spider-Man and not getting the MM version. I had already bought the case and have the MM. Could you guys help me out.

They responded with sorry but we never received the classic version..?

So why they have the image of the classic version listed and say that you have random chance of getting it is kinda shitty if you ask me. I know people have ordered that thinking it was what the image showed, and others thinking it was random and bought it hoping it would be the classic.

So has anyone here received a a classic version of the Ultimate Spider-Man from BBT?

And what do you guys think?

[Ninjinister]

Has anybody seen the Anti-Venom K-Mart pack yet?

I don't think they know when receiving cases what the variant breakdown will be. I also think in about three months you'll be sick of seeing another red/blue Spidey warming the shelves.

Edit: Better question, what sites have new wave figures in stock, and not too expensive? Not cases, single figures.

Just got a bunch of figures from them and they were awesome. Really good price, quick shipping, and they were packed very well. I recommend them if you don't care if a figure is loose or not.
