Thanks dude, I needed a fun painting project and he was the first thing that came to mind. I was in a big X-Men mood and made a X-men costumed Namor [one of 20 different damn costumes he uses].

You should post your Xmen Namor. I LOVE the X-men and Namor so when he joined the team I loved it forever!

If the two packs are EVER on sale, I'll keep you in mind!

Tiberius · 10-18-2011, 11:51 PM

There is a lot of different variations, mainly with or without gloves. I put gloves on mainly because I feel it adds more to Namor and his character and pride. Like he wouldn't get his hands dirty dealing with pathetic creatures, ect.

Peteparker · 10-19-2011, 12:00 AM

Special thanks goes out to MasterSock and Mastersteef, who both grew my collection today:

Peteparker · 10-19-2011, 12:03 AM

Oh yea, and wasn't someone looking for this, I just found an extra last night:

Tiberius · 10-19-2011, 12:04 AM

Did you find that gigantic battles pack at the famous Ross I always hear a bout?

Agreed. I really like the gloves and that us another excellent figure dude. Very good work.

Tiberius · 10-19-2011, 12:11 AM

Oh, my brother finally scored a Sunfire. Flipping amazing figure. Saddens me that I never got to see that wave at retail.

It was actually at a Walmart, on clearance, just like how I got the first one. Didn't really seem to be much of a price difference though, and pouring through the rest of the stuff on clearance produced nothing further.

Tiberius · 10-19-2011, 12:22 AM

I'm still baffled why Walmart Canada doesn't get these gigantic battle packs. Walmart is Walmart, like come on...

Toy companies hate you guys for some reason. I dont know why. I love you.

It's honestly hard to collect up here. I am so thankful for everyone here hooking me up with the latest figures for cost + shipping, it has saved me a lot of money. I could go to comic shops in the capital and spend almost 16 bucks on a figure and fill up my truck that will only last me 4 trips, if I am lucky. I cannot get anything in town BUT MU figures. Gi Joe doesn't exists, DCUC doesn't either. Nothing new ever comes in for Star Wars too. I hate beating a dead horse here but damn, I would love if MU, star wars, gi joe figures where 7 or 8 dollars instead of 11. Would love it if DCUC figures where 14.99 not 19.99 or 23.99.

Ouch. Never realised how bad it was kinda makes some of our complaing for being 1 wave behind kind of petty :/

FancyPants · 10-19-2011, 01:35 AM

I found some really neat accessories at big lots. They have a big headquarters type building for $30 that's sized perfectly with MU. Several other small things as well. I think somebody posted a guard tower awhile back that's from the same line. Very good for dioramas

Tiberius · 10-19-2011, 01:37 AM

Like when I first started I never really cared, as long as I didnt have the figure. Like, i know the Vision wave is rare, or is now, but I never saw it at Candian retail, along with THanos and Cable. We don't get Gigantic Battle sets or exclusives [good ones, anyways]. Feels like Canada gets scraps. I never saw Galactus either. I shat myself when I saw Sentinel, then barfed when I saw the 69.99 price tag.

Table, chairs, tactical map etc? I've seen pics of that. There's a company online that sells duplicates of a lot of those.

Its like a two story desert army base with several flights of stairs and windows. Has nice depth

I got a small angled wall piece for 3.50

The best part: lead based paint. I laughed so hard

This is what I'm talking about. It's pretty cheap for the size of the structure.

The brand is called power team elite. There's some stuff on amazon. Big Lots carries them if you live near one.

Funny how I asked about that bombed out building a couple of pages ago and I didn't have one response. Sigh sigh, that's what happens when there's so much back and forth conversation in a thread, typical like hisstank and TFW where a lot of posts are ignored. Thanks for the pic fancy pants, I'm wondering if anyone has that set and uses it with MU. I've got that guard tower and posted pics a while back. Looks great and so does there other chap mei stuff at big lots.

I'm buying it in a week. The big lots near my house has a lot of them. I'll pick up a guard tower too. I guess it was you that posted the tower.
