Would you want to be on a team with Carnage?!!?
He's just there 'cause no one has the balls to tell him to leave.

They'll slowly back away and run for it, first chance.

Optimus Vader · 12-18-2011, 08:59 AM

I found the revision wave at Walmart this morning and got myself an Electro. They also had an Iron Fist, a couple Guardians, a couple Ast Wolvies, a Darkhawk, Ultrons, Rogers, Doom, Doc S, Capt Marv, Namor, and a few Spidey women.

Good point. I'd take off in a heartbeat.

Went to Toys R Us today- nothing new or worth buying and laughed like a madman st their patheric attempt to sell the flop Pirates of the Carribbean figures for $7.99 each!
Gee, it's been almost a year with no sales...lets jack the prices back up from $4.99 to original (inflated) retail!

Then at target I saw a ton of comic packs but the Power Man pack was the most recent.
Lotta re-released Sabertooth packs for some reason.

Looking for custom fodder, I saw the Mortal Kombat figs and the damndest thing- the ultra crappy, poorly painted original series figs were, I shit you not, $14.99 and the later (better sculpted and painted but still pretty poor) figs of Scorpion and Sub Zero were on a seperate peg for $9.99.
WTF?!?

Saw the Street Fighter two packs- all suck bigtime! Not worth custom fodder- no clear energy accesories like I hoped for either.
Disapointing. Same price as a MU comic pack-$14.99

Managed to score the new ANH Luke- he's got the perfect Quasar custom head!

Also saw the big Gears of War fig- looks great! Not my thing, but still...

I also appreciate my fellow arkers trading with me! Astral and Thanos from Shawn Woodbeck, 2-Pack from evilBay.

Awesome haul!!!

I'm getting lazy and I know my walmarts don't carry crap in the MU line. Just called one of them, and they said it doesn't even look like they're going to be carrying any of them...I was like "what?"...amazed.

None of my Walmarts within about a 20-30 minute drive carry MU, but all the ones further out in other parts of town carry them. It's so lame. But the one closest to me did get the Ultimate Gift Sets for some reason. I snagged one the day they went on the shelf. Two days later, all gone. You'd think they'd take that as a sign that hey, maybe people actually want to buy this stuff, instead of all the other crap that rots on the pegs for months on end. But if there's one thing I've learned in all my years collecting, it's that Walmart has no brain.

Veronica Mars · 12-18-2011, 01:28 PM

Any word on the second round of those TRU light up stand figures?

Nice find. I'm still looking for Electro. My WM is full of MU and there isn't room for more figs on the pegs, so I don't think they will be restocking anything new in the near future.

Zictor · 12-18-2011, 05:46 PM

Only a week til Christmas!!!! I can finally open the awesome figures my girlfriend has apparently found me. Then I can begin hunting again!!!

rodimus15 · 12-18-2011, 05:57 PM

Sometimes that's good, they put what they have left on $2 clearance!

Iceman and Human Torch (just for fun)
