I AM CHEAP BASTARD.

I don't do the EBAY thing and only buy online once a year (tax check big purchase). I enjoy the hunt when I find something but freaking scalpers steal a lot of that joy. I'm not looking to start that arguement again, but they are a fact of life. So I guess my point is ... sigh. Please post more pictures so I can dream.

No reason to explain yourself. We've all been there and vented on this board at some point in time. My frustrations have lead me to get into preorders and such. I'll go to retail every so often but once I've found what I need, I'll take a break from hunting at retail. Its difficult but sometimes other priorities in life get in the way of hunting. Online is more convenient for me. Plus I hate running into scalpers and I get in a bad mood when I catch them. Makes my blood boil.

Well done Hasblow...well done.

Mine came packaged with a thin piece of plastic keeping his jaw in place. However, when I took him out, his jaw lines up a little bit crooked. I have to find some time to fix it. No problems with out falling off though.

Thanks for correcting my mistake. Such a pivotal villain and its nice to have the comic where he makes his first appearance.

Looks like my local Walmarts are trying to move MU. All single figures are $5 right now. Basically that means lots of Absorbing Man, Multiple Man, and A.I.M. Soldiers where I'm at (though I did find Namor). I went to three different ones and they all had the same price but only one had the price marked on the peg so scan them to be sure. I hope this means they are clearing space for the new wave.

It's worth checking in your areas to see if they are doing the same, at least if you live in Canada it is.

Marvel Universe 3.75" 2012 Series 02 Revision 02 - Case of 12 - Marvel Figures (Hasbro) Marvel Universe 3.75"

Put in a preorder as soon as that showed up a while back. Still hoping to find stuff at retail but who knows.

Your very welcome. I was taking pics last night and saw the gauntlet lying next to my patrick willis figure and voila. Incidently, I kinda took the pose from flipwilson who had rocket racoon over mu villains in a similar fashion. Credit to him for the great pose idea.

@iceman: The charger figure they had was philip rivers. Not a big fan of him. I'm looking for a drew brees figure for my girlfriend. She's a saints fan.

And more appreciation for mu but this goes out to my marvel vs capcom fans.
I got this russian in yesterday. Apologize if this is pic heavy. Please edit them out if you quote it.

I appreciate my mu figures with other in scale figures.

Please excuse my ignorance mate,are they Steelers players?? Im only asking because if memory serves the Steelers play in black,and have a pirate-esque team logo,therefore they might be great base figures for some 4inch Marilyn Manson "Fight Song" goth Footballer customs!!!

EDIT just googled it and i was completely wrong about Steelers!! Might still try the customs though,il just have to break out the black paint!!

Tiberius · 08-16-2012, 04:01 PM

Curious as to which people prefer...

Single Carded on left - X-Men 6 pack on right

X-Men 6 pack on left - Comic Pack on right.
