Lol, but then what would I do with them? I'm sure my kids would break the hell out of them...

I also wanted to mention that I think I figured it out. TRU recently had an incredible deal on IM2, Thor, and Cap figures, which probably cleaned out a lot of inventories (or some of them), which is why so many people have started seeing the last waves of Thor and IM2 popping up in their local TRU's all of the sudden.

So my message is this, "Go check your TRU!" If not for yourself, than for your fellow arkers! There are pleanty of us lacking a King Laufey and King Loki. Ask not what your fellow ToyArkers can do for you...

Plus I have a lot of stuff to trade for, and my TRU's still only have wave 1 Thor and 09's and 10's of IM2.

Yeah, I watched that video earlier. Don't be so surprised, that is common practice among shipping companies. The key to a safe shipment is insurance and immaculate packaging, so if you're using a sketchy shipping service beware. Anyway, for us traders, to ship a figure is more about a sturdy box or adequate bubble wrap, but a computer monitor or TV would be a completely different story.

I'm still looking for a Sif and King Laufey. I've got plenty to trade.

Also, has there been any word on the shocker figure? has he ever been spotted state side?

I don't believe Shocker has made it's way to the US. Only been imported AFAIK

Are your figures on your BST loose or MOC? Do you still need the resoulte set(s) also?

They're all moc, and yes, still trying to find those resolute sets. Damn lack of a ross store here. The one thing (and probably only) thing I miss about living in florida is the ross stores.

Maaan. I work for Fedex.
That's pretty damn bad- definitely gonna be a firing over that.

I'm not a driver though- just a wage slave in a recieving station, but we're crazy careful with people's shit- even requiring that people (or us) re-box stuff that's ratty looking.

We do occasionally get people trying to cash in by sending broken stuff in banged up boxes and blaming us....but that's obviously not the case with this bozo driver!
Makes us all look bad.

You are a fucking brilliant!I'm so stealing that idea!

Hah! I guess they were going for this Scorpion:

But I can't help seeing this:

No hotlinking. - Toyark Staff.

When I look at this:

No hotlinking. - Toyark Staff.

For the Beetle's back pack I'll be using these parts fromd Revenge of the Fallen Deluxe Ravage:
No hotlinking. - Toyark Staff.

Think it'll work? The backpack may be a tad large, but I'm kiind of building a hybrid of the various Beetle armors.....

Jason Abbadon · 12-21-2011, 09:30 AM

I was thinkning od the oval backpack from the 90's IM line STealth armor for the Beetle's (retracted) pack.
Finishing Moon Knight just now, then Shroud and then Beetle.
MK is looking really good- just waiting on the decals o settle before the dullcoat and that's it.
