That Cap looks nice... he's a lighter blue than the one we saw at TRU, Target, etc, right?

Reaver Strike · 12-07-2011, 11:10 AM

Nothing at my local FD. Has anyone checked Dollar General?

wolverine2281 · 12-07-2011, 11:12 AM

are they owned by the same company?

n/m: doesn't look like it

D Day · 12-07-2011, 11:24 AM

there's been a crimson dynamo at my local target for months, i've been waiting for the IM2 stuff to go on clearance to pick it up it doesn't seem to be happening.

That Cap would be boss if his neck weren't exposed.

D Day · 12-07-2011, 11:30 AM

I personally hate the MU cap, his head is too small and the wings on his head are stupid, the body looks fine, but they really just screwed the pooch on the head, which just ruins the figure. it's the same with the cap that came in the Claw and Cap SW two pack, the Figure actually looks cool, until you look at the tiny head. The movie line caps are way better.

Edit:

I didn't even notice the exposed neck! Another strike!

CLASSIFIED · 12-07-2011, 11:33 AM

Maybe they could just put another head on him.

Optimus Vader · 12-07-2011, 11:36 AM

Other than the comic Bucky figure from the Cap line, I think all of the Caps from that line look too short and stubby.. and just have a cheap look to them. Like it's a mold from one of those generic GI Joe lines or something.

just scored a mu iceman and captain marvel at retail, iceman is a nice figure. just glad to have found something at retail.

I think the only IM2 figures I picked up was when Wally had them on sale for $5 about a year ago.

Aside from the Wave 4 stuff

yeah i hadn't planed on buying any more than one IM until i had my urge to make a hall of armor.

The only reason I want crimson dynamo is to take that blast effect and color it red and use it for cyclops. and I don't really wanna pay 8 bucks for that.

I don't really like the figure at all it looks lame to me but I don't really know much about the character so i have no reason to like it.

Check K-Marts if you have any by you. I got one for $1.75 not too long ago.. all IM2 figs were on clearance.

Yea, as others said, check around online, it's often cheaper than retail, and shipping is often free at the moment.

Wow. The cheapest I've ever seen for IM2 is $1.80 at BBTS for an awful figure.

I saw at three FD's today MU figures for $8.00

They all had the same selection:

Modern Thor
Wolverine (unmasked, yellow and blue JimLee style suit)
Captain America (WWII first appearance w/ badge shaped shield)
Iron Man (Modern "common" armor)
I wonder if there is a different selection in other areas?

I am assuming they chose those characters as a FD supply because of their name recognition with parents and kids given all the new movies.

Looke like the same number of each too, like a special case selection. Woulda been cool to see some wave mates though (Sunfire, Luke Cage)

Same selection in Albuquerque, no cool color variants.

It's how I started collecting these and it's how I will finish. With that being said, I may have several rare and/or exclusives going into a bst soon since I only have a good amount of them because I was getting evvvverything.

P.S. It's a boy!! So gotta start his marvel toy collection now! Superhero squad to start I'm thinking. :P

Congrats! All you have to do now is name him after a Marvel character.

My son's middle name is Parker and my daughter's middle name is Jane, in honor of Peter Parker and Mary Jane. Middle names were all I could swing though.

Nope, not yet. Amazing since he's in revision packs already. Maybe the different color version will be Singapore only, lol.

Here's my haul from yesterday:

All stuff I was missing! Two variants (I know, I know, Hobgoblin is a running change), Mr. Cage, and that ever so elusive TRU pack. Holes getting filled!

My sons name will be Wade. As long as the woman never knows Wade is Deadpool, I am in the clear. I am already a Wilson so that helps =3.

Whoa that's awesome from Wild Things, that comic was pretty good too, back when they were doing the MC2. I have that complete set, not much though:P

It was one of those deals where all of they were actually clearancing out their clearance items.. "take an additional 20% off all clearance items" things, which the K-Mart by me likes to do often, but it's usually the same crap that they just can't get rid of.

I got a big ass AT-AT last winter for $36 there too.. my best sale find ever

I agree.

At first I liked movie Cap better, but after awhile I realised MU Cap was superior.

Tiberius · 12-07-2011, 02:14 PM

Guess who has MU Ares!

TIBERIUS THE GREAT DOES!
