LapuLapu · 01-10-2012, 07:53 PM

Those are just awesomeness USAgent!!!

usagent27 · 01-10-2012, 07:59 PM

yeah i have to say that i am quite pleased~! i just started collecting over the summer. i have a lot of the hard to find figures but am still missing a few...the damn Vision..i custom painted mine to be like phasing...

I got a ton of great deals from people on here! Lord Marvel, PeteParker, Omega to name but a few...

i'm debating on getting to more Guardsmen to make 3. and i need to get some skrulls at some point as well.

I hopefully will be able to add Zemo to the case this week or next (waiting on his head)

Speaking of Vision, picked him up and his counterpart on Evilbay, paid $79.00 though, so if you divide the 2 it's like 39.50 each which isn't too bad considering just him alone goes for that much.

It's similar to the way the G.I.Joe and TF threads are organized here.

It a really well done Japanese toyline and as of this writing, they do not include Marvel characters. For the sake of your wallet, Pete, pray that they don't. For more info, check out our sister site, www.Tokunation.com.

Thanks! I'll begin praying immediately, those look awesome!

WAY WAY WAY better, and it was awesome before. Ummm, maybe a Reed Richards with both of those things and the M'Kraan crystal could beat him.

He'd surely say, "Richaaaards!!!!!"

Awesome! I sure hope this becomes a real figure.

Hulk may be strongest, but he doesn't have a cosmic cube, and he's not the smartest...

In other news, here's my haul tonight:

The double Psylocke and Storm were already bought when I got there! They're not supposed to come out until tomorrow!

I was saddened, but happy I got them anyway. Plus, trading a lot I got for $18 for these 6 figures is good enough for me!

I'll just have to keep hunting Targets for the comic packs and for my fellow Arkers!

usagent27 · 01-10-2012, 08:34 PM

I personally don't own one, but if I really gonna get one...it will be the MU version, just because it is more rare. The captain America Version is a cheap alternative. It is on sale for 2 bux here at Walmart, and I hate seeing it clogging the shelf...

Agreed. Especially since he's going back to that costume in Secret Avengers.

The 3 Pack one is the closest to a Heroic Age/MI:13 costume and my 2nd choice.

When I created this thread (this site was as dead as a doornail until I heard Professor X's voice in my head saying "if you create it, they will come,.. and post") my intentions were to have a Marvel 3.75" figure "catch all" type of thread. I should've left the word Universe out since it sounds like I'm specifically speaking of that one line, but that's neither here nor there,.. I meant "all Marvel in that size."

I think posting hauls, customs, asking questions, arguing about street dates, etc,.. that relate to Marvel 3.75" here is great, and is what I was hoping for.. assuming it's about Marvel 3.75". I don't think spinning a little off topic is the end of the world if the conversation was derived from something related to the thread.

The only thing that really makes me scratch my head is when people post their completely unrelated to Marvel toy hauls here. I can see if it's a group shot and there's something Marvel in it, but I'm not sure why I'd post my haul of just the four Star Wars toys I just got here. If one giant catch all thread to post anything about anything is what people want, then there should just be one thread and one thread only, called "Toys: Whatever".

This is the only thread I keep up with. I check this one thread everyday. I think it's great how it is.

Thank you sir for starting it.

Off topic can mean a lot of different things to a lot of different people. But jumping into other realms could help with identifying other potential figures or accessories for use with or expanding ones Marvel Universe.

Like Play-sets from the 80's, custom figs, or ML MODOK.

And a little off topic banter can help drive a thread, when maybe not much is going on in the MU.

This thread and site is where it's at if you want to keep up on MU.

I'll advertise widely if I find any MU army builders.

Anyone interested in these for custom MU army building? Little paint and some new heads and they could easily be some SHIELD agents...

This also worries me regarding the closest Walmart to my house:

They're not clearance, just reduced prices!
