Good ol' Target haha. As cool as these figures are, Rogers is the only "must have right now" for me. I can wait for the other ones to see at Canadian retail =D.

Namor has quickly become peg warming material in my area, so I've been seeing a lot of him over the past week, but not one was the regular stand (all have been Rex). It really is weird what they do with distribution.

i am thinking of getting that ultimate cap from the comic movie series, but i just wonder why they made his entire pants grey when they were always blue in the book? weird. might have to get him and paint him.

I remember he had the grey pants in the ultimate x men series. I don't remember which book it was though.

Its on to say it, the thor line needed to have some comic line characters, mainly just ultimate thor and a comic version of odin and executioner. Mu has been pretty good providing loki, thor, enchantress, big frost giant.

Thanks!

Did anyone volunteer to help you with this? I've seen a handful of X23's in the past few days...

At least you'll get an Ultimate Spider-Man to add. Maybe even before 2012!

Namor variant is a peg warmer? Is this going to haunt us all over again and now the original nameplate is the hard to find one? Haha.. god I hate hasbro distribution..

Peteparker · 10-06-2011, 01:27 PM

I thought for sure Ultron was the warmer. I always see him where this wave has come out.

..just going with what I've been seeing in my area over the past week. Maybe Ultron will take over once all of the collectors in my area have gotten their fix.

I joined the Ross club today. One single comic Whiplash. Bought it. He's now posed on my desk. I'd have rather found War Machine or Ultimate IM, but this is still cool.

Fedup23 · 10-06-2011, 02:22 PM

Swung into Target outside of Detroit area (not for figs..but y'know I had to look).. saw some of the Rogers wave...and to my surprise ..Sunfire.. I know.. not a sexy find.. but first Ive seen in the wild! ...nabbed him.

They also had the Brit/spidey and Powerman/IF 2 packs.

Peteparker · 10-06-2011, 02:32 PM

It's seksy if it's the first time you've seen them in the wild. Congrats!

bmorr · 10-06-2011, 03:52 PM

all this Ross talk makes me disappointed. Theres no locations anywhere in new england. I had to check the website....are they like marshalls? cause 4.99 is a little more than what they charge for gi joes here.

Boba Fettuccini · 10-06-2011, 04:28 PM

Marshalls and TJ Maxx are owned by the same co. as Ross. Ross is the low-class version, Marshalls is somewhat normal, and TJ Maxx is a little nicer. Otherwise, they're the same store.

bmorr · 10-06-2011, 04:41 PM

oh ok cool. at least theres a glimmer of hope ill see them at those stores.

Jason Abbadon · 10-06-2011, 05:37 PM

Well, in their defense, it is a deep discount so...

BigHanksCustoms · 10-06-2011, 05:57 PM

Here are my latest acquisitions from Tues and today:

Do Boy · 10-06-2011, 06:03 PM

Nice score man.

Fortune · 10-06-2011, 07:19 PM

It sucked having to pass on that X23 yesterday

I just couldnt afford it.

Truth be told I think her legs are a tad too long for her torso. And her thigh ball joints are prohibitive.

I'll have to find more suitable legs, maybe Kitty Pride's uppers. I originally bought it to finish up my Lana Kane (Archer) custom.

Your killing me! Kitty Pryde is another MU I was sad that I had to pass on yesterday. (Love the X-men)

Actually I think I saw anothe K Pride just a few days ago at a very under shopped Wally's near me. Gotta check them out again.

Boba Fettuccini · 10-06-2011, 07:41 PM

But those are the old legs. They SUCK.
