Got the fantastic 4 from walmart. and FINALLY found carnage. Target today. Really happy about this. Now I can open my flame on human torch. Kind of a useless figure, but I got him to go with the three pack. I refuse to pay 30 for a single thing figure.

Awesome!

I just was at a Walmart where they opened a team pack for me, and they didn't have an FF variant OR the Guardians of the Galaxy. Very disappointing.

Hmmm excuse me for a second. I need to decide if I should spend 20$ on Thing or if I should spend that 20$ on Thing...Mr Fantastic...Invisible Woman.... AND Herbie. Man this is a hard decision.

I disagree....his claws suck and overall articulation totally lacks, particularly the shitty arms/wrists. If he had the same articulation as say Cable then the fig would be closer to being epic.

Great pic.

Is the variant worth getting? There's been one at the walmart near my house for weeks now. I just never bothered.

If youre referingto the Red skull pic, Thanks! and yea its worth it but if you have the movie version its really the same fig but with a slight paint job difference and white gloves. Nothing spectacular but i like this version.

I've already got the other one. I just like being OCD and collecting too many toys. Gives my wife something to yell at me about

thats weird, mine is the total opposite. the hips are way too tight and i cant even move them, his stance is also REALLY wide and stiff. i cant even get both of his feet to peg into the base.

my x-force wolverine is total caca poopoo when it comes to standing though, its like the knee joints are made of jelly and they want to warp under the weight of his own body. his legs are so loose on the hip that standing him is a total nightmare.

bmorr · 10-20-2011, 05:19 AM

considering how boring this current wave is, im waiting for the discussion to start on the psylocke wave, where im probably buying everything in that wave.......
Shadowland Daredevil(wait, haha nope)
Patriot
Storm
White Iron Fist
Ages of Thunder Thor(a totally awesome replacement for classic thor)
Psylocke

pretty much everything here. Iron Fist is a needed addition to my new avengers line-up. Plus he gonna be on the new defenders team.

Veronica Mars · 10-20-2011, 06:00 AM

So I went to Target the other day to find this sign on all the mu pegs

Never one to pass up a sale, I quickly looked through their stock and had great disappointment, nothing that I wanted or needed but I did snap a pic of the sale sign. Tonight I took a field trip to the only 24 hour Wal-Mart in the area, where I found all kinds of things I wanted, I picked up Commander Rogers, Iceman and Astonishing Wolverine. I passed on Magneto due to the paint apps on his face being unspeakable (Is that a common problem?). And up to the register I go, where I mentioned to the cashier the sale Target was having. Price Matching!!!

Best Wal-Mart trip in awhile

Fedup23 · 10-20-2011, 06:16 AM

Yep..people need to remember..in this day and age when one store has a sale..they ALL have a sale.

Nice score Veronica. Yeah people forget that Wal-Mart price matches. I never walk into a Wal-Mart without a target ad when they are having a sale.

you actually don't have to have the ad, but the price matching doesn't quite work like the commercials either. Walmart has all of the local ads kept behind the customer service counter for just such ad matches, I know as I've had several problems in the past for ad matches, like the bogo TRU was doing with iron man figs a couple of weeks ago

Well you do have to have print ad the ad per the "rules" I guess. whether or not they make you show one is up to how lazy the cashier is. I've been turned down many times because of it. and if you have problems with the bogo sale, it's bc wal-marts are suppose to honor those sales. But once again it comes down to the cashier and how much they care. which most of the times they don't

Heads up on Targets as every one in my area has done this again like they did 2 waves ago..

Check the front end cap of the toy aisles that face electronics. Every Target in my area has unloaded a good portion of MU to there once again as opposed to only being in the aisle. In aisle was leftover pickings of the Rogers wave, but on the end cap was 3 of every single person in it. I don't need any of them, but I was surprised to see so much there.

Thanks for the heads up. My gf actually pointed that out to me last night too.
