Lol that's a horrible idea, what will you do when you all get there and they only have one of the figure you guys are all looking for.

HOWEVER, I know there are other things that I want that I just can't think of right now. I'm willing to take a look at your BST to see if there's anything I might want in trade for stuff on my list.
And now, back to the thread....
If you come across another on eBay, let me know! I really want that guy...

will do my good man.

I say get it for $25. I'm pretty sure you have all the others so just because it's only $20 more for the set doesn't mean it's smarter to get that. You'd still be paying more money for things you already have and don't need. Sure, you can always sell them, but time is money and they aren't that sought after. Just my 2 cents.

I dont know brother....thats a mighty big risk to take...you may well end up regretting it,and realistically,hes only what?? $9/$10 more expensive than a single carded MU?? So you are only REALLY spending $10 more than you normal would on a figure (im discounting $5 for shipping purposes.)

We're on the same wavelength, bro. Like my buddy proteus noted, I find myself giving away extras to nephews, nieces, friends, etc. just to clear up room sometimes

@Pro - And yes I account for about a $5 float (offsetting s/h with gas prices). Gas prices are crazy here, it's one of the reasons I rarely hunt nowadays.

Saw that yesterday at my TRU too... except it is $52 here. I keep missing the new CPs though.

Galactus was reportedly seen at a Marshalls by one forum poster (on another forum), but it was never verified...

So. Kewel.

Go get some!

Sweet dude! I was at IKEA in San Diego for SDCC, and they had them, but I just couldn't bring myself to buy them. They're awesome, for sure, but being a MOC collector with a dedicated toyshop (modified workshop), there's just no room or need for them.

I got really close to buying one anyway though...

The time you put in really shows! Makes this one of your best ever, even if it's not all that popular of a character.

Good 'ol Jack of Hearts, about as useful as having Starfox on your team...

That's interesting. I hope BBTS does the Opposite! I'm sure FF Spidey will be peg-warming in no time (well, like 3 months). I want my bagheads!

Comics | Marvel.com

I wish I could have done it for you.

It's still possible, you jsut have to have the subscription confirmation number and be given the pdf of the form. The form is good until the end of the year...

On the topic of toys, specifically MU, what states has wave 18 been spotted in? At major retail, not comic shops.

So far:

California
Oklahoma
Texas
New York
Pennsylvania
Florida
New Mexico
Massachusetts

Anybody know something like that? Wikipedia doesn't seem to be much help. Google Image is too random and usually only focuses on the most popular look.

I'd say try the Marvel Database too. The galleries usually have at least one picture of each costume, though it's broken out by which reality the character is from, so you won't see alternate universe spidey costumes in the main spidey's gallery.

I'm not talking about the pictures of the other figures from that wave, I'm talking about the cartoon drawing in the lower left hand corner. Steve Rogers was one, Deadpool, Rocket Racoon, etc,.. well, MODOK is on the back of wave 19,... that's why I ask.

There's a few, but up until the 2012 waves, it was the same character for the entire year. So most of them are from upcoming waves, since they're changing out on a per-wave basis now.

I'm a little more curious about older waves (since technically wave 21 is slated for 2013 and wave 19 is just hitting).

No Gigantic Battles for awhile. Apparently they didn't do all that well in Walmarts since a lot of them went to clearance for a LONG time.

I was nice to the older lady doing the stocking and she basically gave me free reign to all the cases that were on the floor. Too bad there was nothing else of interest. No new Star Wars as usual....

Awesome! Upside-down Beasts and Miles Spidey should still be available in TRUs, and will eventually be the more sought-after figures as they are the initial variants from this wave.

FF Spidey is surprisingly popular! Must be the FF three pack fueling the fire...

[Skullgmo44]

MU from TRU
Thor line from Marshall's

Kraven's such a boss

[1andonly5711]

oh thanks pete

[SquirtleSquad7]

Made a deal for Avengers Hawkeye with Workaholic(I know there are some capitalized letters somewhere in there, but I didn't look, lol) :]

Now, I just really want a Red Hulk. I don't know why I want this guy so bad, lol


Also, some Rhino vs. the new Spider-Man action.



Now that I can take pictures, I really need to work on posing... lol

[Skullgmo44]

Ok look, im semi-new to posting. Can someone please tell me how to post pics from Photobucket?

Go to you picture in Photobucket and when you hover your cursor over it a menu will pop up--copy what's in the IMG code field and paste it here.

[Ninjinister]

My local comic shop has Beast, Miles, Kraven, and Beta Ray Bill!

...

for $19.95 each.

Paying essentially double what it would go for in regular stores would really hurt my wallet, especially since I made the decision to cut back on most of the comics I get due to some unfortunate bills. If they were regular price, I might have caved and bought one. But at that price? I'll wait.

[Skullgmo44]

Alright I got it. Thanks, man.

That is pretty riduculous in my opinion, my lcs has mu marked at 12.99, all of the sudden they get wave 18, and mark them at 13.99....a line should be drawn...

But I dot think I could buy a new fig for 19.99 a piece at the lcs...

[megajonzero]

Does anybody know what paint I could buy to match the color of Big Time Spidermans green? The one I got today is bothering me that its missing the paint on his inner forearm but instead has it on the side. Any help would be much appreciated

Edit:wrong thread sorry

The sad thing is I don't think these guys sell any MUs for under $12.99. Even the common ones are around that price. New and rarer ones are always around $20 or more.
