My local TRU had those piled up on clearance for £15 until recently, if you go to a TRU which is fairly remote I reckon there's a good chance there'll be some left.

i didnt see it close out, but i did see one that wasn't getting much love. had a few cosmetic issues. something about glued hips and rattling plastic parts, etc. there was some fine print.

[shortysben]

Oh wow, didn't read the fine print, I just saw one close for 55$, and thought it was different

i just checked the listing. it was not the one i was referring to. the one ur talking about had a bent antenna and "has always been a pain to stand up." the item had been re-listed too.

it sold for $70 shipped.

[shortysben]

I was in a Walmart in mi last summer and found the following:

Wally exclusive marvel legends Thor, ms marvel, ant man, saber tooth, and sentry...

They were 7.43 a piece, I only picked up the Thor, I was shocked to see em there, went back for the rest and they were all gone!

Just insane to me, they had a lot of dust on them, I assumed they were found misplaced or something, crazy find to me...

Off topic I know but we're talking about the giant man...

Damnit man, I keep telling you to just use dropbox, its soooo much easier. I really like your customs though, they look incredible (especially the Kree and Strucker).

Toy collectors tend to be way too picky, especially when these figures are going on our shelves and half the toy collecting community knows how to repair/customize stuff. I'm guilty of it too, I'm just saying that a figure like Giant Man with a few quirks is worth the price point rather than paying over $30-40 more for a slightly better one that is just going to collect dust on a shelf.

[Jason Abbadon]

Screw Giant Man already!
I need a good free pic hosting site that allows direct img linking- Flkr does not!
I have many crazy things to show you...things that will make your brain leak from your nose...

EDIT: Dropbox it is! Thanks!

Good, finally! You just put the images you want to upload in the "public" file and copy the public link and paste it. Very simple process.

[Optimus Vader]

Shorty, that Wolverine custom looks fantastic. Nice work!

I sorta agree DFD. i hadn't seen that particular auction shortysben was talking about... had i seen it, i MIGHT have taken a stab... but, admittedly, if i'm shelling out $70 for a toy, i might as well spend a little extra and get the same fig MINT. that's just me. i dont like cheap/used stuff, to be honest. i had that fill when i used to collect vintage Joe's. never again.

personally, i have no customizing skills or the crazy extra time to dedicate to such a craft - though i'd love to someday.

Just came back from the morning hunt and my go to Target just restock 2 new cases of wave 17 , too bad its still 17.1 as I am lookin forward to pickin up a MOC AA and the chance to see a Classic Havok. So just pick up Storm to keep her MOC since I got Stucked Arm Storm from the 6 pack. Also saw the Avengers Loki and thought of pickin him up for his Lance but cant justify paying almost $10 for just the Lance. And also a good news that Target ( well this one ) has stocked up on the team packs so thats good news for the upcoming xmen team pack featuring Rogue and Longshot. Also new Transformers the RID line is also up on the pegs. Unfortunately no Legends at this Target but they were still in the middle of reformatting the aisles so maybe soon. Also the Cap movie lines and Iron man 3.75" and 6" spidey & iron man are missing from the usual pegs so that means only one thing CLEARANCE !!

Thank You.
I dowloaded Dropbox just now- and uploaded a bunch of new pics- how do I get a direct link for posting inline images here on Toyark?
How do you do it?

I see where you're coming from, but I'm broke and if I can get something that is in good condition rather than perfect for a better price I'll pull the trigger. The big ass Killer Croc figure I bought recently has scuffed scales, but for $30 I figured I'd rather own it for that price, because the alternative was $100 online for a new one and that wasn't going to happen.

[Jason Abbadon]

Okay, that worked, thanks!

How to get my pics from the "Photos" folder to "Shared" though? Too tired now...sleeep first!

BTW, Talk=on is not finished yet- I still need to add all the silver details nad his wings! this is just a WIP.

use photobucket dude, when you upload anything on there it gives you 4 formats to choose from to upload, and the last 1 is img format, super easy, free and tons of space to use.

How do you do it?

Dropbox should have put a file on your computer called "public". Once you've added your images to that file they are accessible on dropbox.com where you log in and go to "public". There will be a list of images that you have uploaded and the upload dates, so right click the picture's title and select "copy public link". Once you have done that, on here you just click the image button and paste in the code that you have copied from dropbox. Give it a shot.

I second this. Photobucket so easy even a caveman can do it.

Anyways awesome customs Jason !! Its amazing how you guys ( esp. the MU customizers ) shell out awesome customs one after another. Im in a custom rut right now after a failed Lady DeathStrike custom , im uninspired right now.

I thought this too, I was looking high and low for the iron man 2, cap, and thor figures...couldn't find them anywhere, think they'll probably end up in a Ross/tjmaxx/Marshall's...

[D00MTR0N]

that iron monger and darkhawk look awesome.

[Peteparker]

Holy hell. You miss one day and you're like 6 pages behind in this thread!

worst part is there was the 'buy 2 get 1 free' promo. haha.

Ouch! I would have bought them just for others. I'm sure there's plenty of people here who would have loved to pay that price for those. Of course, that's a bit of a pain. Still, it's fun to live vicariously though others, buying stuff you think is cool but then letting other people have it.

Yea, it's a separate wave. Target and TRU's have been getting 'Wave 2' to start with, and Walmart's getting 'Wave 1'. Not sure if that is intentional, or just the way it worked out. You've gotta hunt Walmarts or TRUs who are restocking Avengers already to find Ult Hawkeye.

Or you can just get it from fellow Arkers. I picked up an extra.

Sad. They still do well on eBay, dude, but you've just made your local collectors/kids pretty happy.

Awesome use of the Brood! Was that just one figure, or multiple? Ultron getting curb-stomped is my favorite.

It's just a repaint of the Thor series one. I'll try to remember to take pics of him when I get home...

1 fig: Loose: $2, MOC: $5

1 2-Pack: Loose: $3, MOC: $6

That's all using USPS First Class, except the MOC 2-Pack, which is Priority. It's also all to the US from the US. Canada is different depending on where you're shipping them to, but often $2-5 more, depending on the situation.

Earth X Wolverine was actually fat.


You are talking about the Days of Future Past Wolverine who was on X51's small team of alternate reality counterparts.
