You should try putting on a neck piece from a DCIH manhunter robot, to Gambit or just paint his neck black and try using the staff that came with Black Canary from the Young Justice line , its not as long as Moonknight's but its thicker and Gambit holds it securely.

My Target never got below $4.50 on clearance. Snagged 8 of them at that price.

I travel back and forth from PDX to LA, but I may end up in LA

No offense or anything...:P Ah Frank N Sons no wonder. I picked up some figures from there, but I shopped around to make sure I got the best deal. The more popular the figure the more $ is how they price it.

LapuLapu · 01-09-2012, 12:03 PM

A little MU appreciation.

Nick Fury and his agents with S.H.I.E.L.Ds

Thanks. Pretty cool looking. It's like the Family Dollar Cap version (color looks the same), but with the suit that covers his neck.

..probably the only Comic Pack I never saw in stores.

Especially the taxes, I try not to buy much in LA unless I know I can't find it in PDX.
Ya Frank N Sons not too bad, but sad that they're scalper's from what I heard on how they get their inventory. But I think some vendor's don't charge tax if you pay cash.
Santa Monica Promenade. But they have a final sale policy which kind of sucks. They basically charge LCS prices.

Now here goes a long fucking shot. Does anyone have the megaman from the old Marvel Vs. Capcom two pack? Or a Sugar Man? Those 2 are almost holy grail status for me.

let me check my LCS across town...I was there a few weeks ago and they had all of those sets for 15. Each...I just passed on them cause they are bigger then MU...

Thanks for the top ten guys...I would love to see any of those figs made..

@ Peter thanks bro..can't wait to get Nick....:-)

LapuLapu · 01-09-2012, 01:13 PM

For only $8 I would. It doesn't go for crazy cash on eBay or anything, but I've seen some pretty sweet dios (3.75") with that involved.

LapuLapu · 01-09-2012, 01:46 PM

Looks like it can be transformed into the X mansion , just add the east and west wing.
