Drat, and I just deleted my whole writeup about my bst having tons of rare stuff in it. :P

Shameless plug has been inserted.

Symbiote · 02-01-2012, 08:54 AM

Thanks to Marvel Kid for the trade. Finally got a Shocker from him. I hope the Dark Ms. Marvel shows up soon.

First order of business was molding some gauntlets.

Added to my Spider-man villains list. Sinister 18.

They NEED to release Vulture, Sandman, and Mysterio so that I can complete the Sinister Six. Also need to release a Kingpin.

Yes! You win- He's half painted already!

Optimus Vader · 02-01-2012, 09:28 AM

Cool Spidey set up ^^
Tiberius hooked me up with a Shocker. I'd really like to see a Sandman and Kingpin sometime soon too... especially The Kingpin.

My X-Men came out for a photoshoot last night. Here's a couple..

Just keep it to a minimum. For example, if you've got something that someone else wants, point them to your BST via PM. If you want something that someone else has, send them a PM about it. No need to discuss it any further here.

Jason Abbadon · 02-01-2012, 10:05 AM

Is that the Showdown Magneto with MU headswap?
I cant find that Showdown fig anywhere!
It's your fault, Optimus! You scored the last one!

Sure is. I'm surprised to hear he's tough to find.. I got mine for like $11 or something.. and then a loose cape-less MU for around $6 last year. And there were plenty.

I just got one last week on ebay for 25$..

They are still around...just have to check dailey.

LORD MARVEL · 02-01-2012, 11:07 AM

man i thought this was a toy site ?? smh

Tiberius · 02-01-2012, 11:11 AM

It is. I can see both sides though. This is a popular thread, posting their trades here is smart, and more than allowed. Replying to that post with "I pmed you about ________" or whatever is fine too, if not, then that is bad. I can understand mods telling us not to have a full conversation about working out a trade in public.

That is just me though. No new MU to report on my end...pretty dead over here.

Jason Abbadon · 02-01-2012, 11:19 AM

Still no wave 17 in florida at all.
Really weird- for the past month, my Target has has four empty MU pegs- their maager says three guys wait at the doors every day when they open to scalp whatever comes in...but the joke's on them- they've not gotten shit since Christmas!

Keep waiting, scalpers!

D00MTR0N · 02-01-2012, 11:23 AM

rename this Marvel 3.75" disappointment Thread.

Jason Abbadon · 02-01-2012, 11:24 AM

No disapoinment for me- I traded for a Psylocke, so I'm a happy Arker!

Tiberius · 02-01-2012, 11:25 AM

I think my buddy is giving me the one Psylocke he found...I got no idea why...

So...you are disappointed with the lack of toys, not the thread. It makes sense now.

HAIL DOOM.

Glossy Vision, maybe? Did you get a Classic Sentinel already?

Damn, Glossy Vision. That's missing from the list for sure!

I have all three Sentinels and Galactus'. The list I made is all I'm missing from the entire MU line. Here's what I'm missing from the tie-ins:

IM2:
Armored Avenger 42-46
Hall of Armors 04, 09, 10, & 23

Thor:
King Loki
King Laufey

XMO:
Wolverine & Colossus pack

Expensive loose ends, no?

Huh. I was going to guess The Fwoosh. But the problem there isn't insane posting, it's convoluted categories.

I agree with your theory, for sure. I wonder how much my TMNT Playset in the box would go for. That's the line that really started my toy collecting obsession. As a 10 year old, I'd carefully separate the bubble on three edges and open the package on a hinge carefully, putting the figure and it's accessories back in the package when I was done posing/playing with it. OCD kicked in early for me, lol.

Lol, I googled images of him and I did see how you did yours from your showcase gallery. Easy enough to do and I didn't want to buy a figure just for gauntlets.

They gave him gauntlets. I mean they gave him a stupid, ridiculous, useless gauntlets made for the kid aspect just so it shoots out a missile. But ya, he looks 10 times better. The gauntlets lord marvel gave him from the mandalorian pack looks good too.

i dig the BST plugs w pics like LORD MARVEL, evilanimation, MeGrimlock79... great teasers to visit BST's and deal via PM's. i agree as long as its kept to a minimum and doesnt get out of hand.

props to the Mods for not raining on parades at first impulse.
