Summer 2010 7.99..

You get the point...IDK...It also has to do with how much your stores are ordering...The more they order the less they can charge...This is why LCS charge 13-15 per fig...Cus they are only ordering at the most 2 cases...When walmart is ordering 100's of cases...So it may have to do with the demand in your area...and your stores not ordering enough to give you a decent price...

Hahaha not around here...noooot even close.

Cool pics. I once saw a showdown hulk loose but I passed because the seller was trying to sell him for $30. I'm really excited about the new hulk. He looks great and actually pretty close to what the showdown hulk looks like.

It is a great figure but its not worth 30 bucks. I always wanted it to be taller

I hear the SHS Thing is pretty good...

FE actually since the RID looks like they'll saturate the market sooner or later...

behindthemask · 02-02-2012, 04:35 PM

In canada I find MU, Thor,CAP, IM figures all $9.99, 2packs are $18.99, the 3packs ie xforce, avengers and ff4 were $28.99-30.99. Sentinel I believe was $59.99 or 69.99. Thats why I try to buy off of Lord Marvel and his $5 sales or Peter Parker, they're able to offer me deals cheaper then retail, someitmes it's just a $1 or 2, but it adds up, which helps me a lot, the sale helps them out, so win win.

Loved his work with X-Men. Right up there with Jim Lee. Some awesome covers as well.

The new Transformers Prime line. They had the First Editions, some were released early to retail, then canceled and brought in Robots In Disguise. Appearantly they changed the molds, so the FE are scarce/rare/expensive. People are hunting like mad at TRU, who leaked them early.

Heck ya Silvestri was great doing X-Factor as well. Yup along with Lee and Porticio were the greatest when they were doing the X-Titles...

Yes, I'm thinking of going for the FE, but had to stop myself for a moment:P Just going to watch them on evilbay to see...Sucks too cause I saw BB, Star and Arcee at the time but they were 15-18 retail, and passed on them, hoping they would go on sale. Boy was I wrong, didn't realize they were FE. Live and learn.

Yes Takara does have more variety and they do look better, but if I went into that line, oh man...can't even imagine :P

That's...a great idea!
Bullseye's body would make for an excellent SHIELD base!
Use Red Star from GI Joe as your Nick Fury head- it looks 100% better than the expnsive MU sendaway version!

One of the custom head sites makes an incredible hoodless Doom head- at $5 a piece, you cold make a ton of hoodless Doombots!
Maybe use different robot bodies for each....
A repainted Darth Vader might be an awesome Doom armor- try that out!

I was thinkning of buying an extra DD comic pack, useing DD's body and swapping the forearms and shins with the SW Magneto- that way I might be able to have a new buck Magneto- not too muscular, but still more ripped than I'll ever be!

Exodus · 02-02-2012, 05:19 PM

Here's someone's BST on the TFW side. All loose.
Marvel Universe Blowout! Also Botcon 2011 Loose Set, Energon Superion and More - TFW2005 - The 2005 Boards

Safari makes a nice one-
Prehistoric Animals -- Vinyl Toy Animal Figures from Many Miniatures

Six bucks sounds reasonable to try out.

Toy sales are not as good as they are during summer and the holiday season,that's why the price hike..So quarterly they can show some profit being made...

not true. Marvel Legends is under the Marvel Universe Toy Banner. look at the packaging to ML and it has the Marvel Universe Logo in the Corner. same font
