I wanted to pull off this look of his wings. Its different and IMO, more dark/batty like. Raybots presented it well with his ML custom. Again, I met this guy at SDCC 11 and was a very cool person. Nice to meet fellow customizers where your work mimics theirs.

I'd love to start army building sentinels now. Thats a good price.

Paint rub is the enemy. But I'm learning, its all in the prep work. Patience.

Thanks Optimus, as always. Another thing i want to do is a maximum carnage team. Next villain would be the six armed doppleganger spider-man.

Hey guys thanks to a poster at M-News with a DCPI number I successfully got the Ult Thor, and Cosmic Spear Loki at a target...tried to get a second set for trades, but at the other Target the employee said he couldnt sell them until the 27th...

With that being said I picked up the Thor because I love Thor...the headsculpt is AWESOME, but like we already knew the artic. is lacking big time, still in my opinion a pretty nice figure considering what it lacks...

I bought the Loki because I knew I would never find King Loki out of the Thor stuff...a nice fill in, have already thought about putting the cloak and cape part on the MU Loki...

Anyways overall these are nice fill-ins if you are a thor fan, or need a king loki fill in, although if you can stand the loss of artic...I would recommend picking these up, I passed on all others, the Hulk is even worse in person than I thought, the Iron Men, and "movie" thor and caps, are very similar to the movie versions so easy pass there...

Hope this sheds some light on the new Avengers figs...

Thanks! I bought one of all of them just because I haven't decided if I'm collecting this series or not.

Here's what I found last night:

Pegs packed FULL of the Iceman/Magneto Wave. Not even revision waves!

6 $54.97 Sentinels, and 10+ $22.97 Guardians of the Galaxy sets.

At the same Walmart! This used to be my Honey Hole! Very disappointing. It would seem that it's time to let it go to clearance and take my business elsewhere. Sad thing is, it's really the only WM out of 11 that stocks the hell out of MU. The rest of them barely get a case at a time...

Sad.

I also found out that returning full price items to a clearance MU WM doesn't make them on clearance automatically. Two FF packs I returned to a store selling them at 11 each put them with clearance tags of $22.97!

bmorr · 02-11-2012, 11:10 AM

my god, those pegs are a thing of nightmares. that store is never gonna restock. One of my targets has like 15 falcons......another keeps restocking the racing armor IM2 wave, like five times now. Never have they put out the mandarin wave. STILL havent seen those fellas in retail. Still need Manarin tho. I ordered one but it got lost in the mail.

on the bright side i saw new new SW figs, like the tusken raider and gungan guard.
also walmart had THE GAUL to charge 30 bucks for a figureless Dewback. No sandtrooper......wtf.

Worst part is that I actually bought out the remainder of their old pegs and returned them to another WM just to clear space for new figs, hoping either for Psylocke's wave or Rulk's rev case. And I got this. :|

MGTAJ · 02-11-2012, 11:20 AM

Which WarMachine would you fellas recommend?

bmorr · 02-11-2012, 11:22 AM

both comics series figs rock.

IM2 Dark Reign for a more modern WM (i'm using him for Heroic Age Avengers) and the IM2 Classic Comic WM for my West Coast Avengers.

What are you looking for out of this case? I saw it at a local target...

Travis King · 02-11-2012, 11:38 AM

So I found all the figures from series 4 except Psylocke like 3 weeks ago at one target out of like 9 or 11 that I check and have not seen a new Marvel Universe fig on shelves since then. Also am I the only one who has several new walmarts' that do not carry M.U.?? Is everyone under the impression that at the end of the month (the 27th) we'll finally get what we hunt for?

Which movie thor do you mean? I'm not always the best person for these comparisons since I keep my stuff MOC, but if you tell me which Thor to compare to, I'll do my best.

Nothing in particular, actually, just wanting to see some new 'blood'. Was the transparent Iron Spidey in this case?

I can only hope so, but really, I think the ones we're looking for could drop any day...

shortysben · 02-11-2012, 12:04 PM

@ Pete: No, the Iron Spidy was in the pack out, but it wasnt the translucent one, I was bummed, I thought I finally found that...

behindthemask · 02-11-2012, 12:39 PM

I can't wait to get home and take pics of the new flight stands I got, I'm gonna make this thread explode with awesomeness _ That's what she said lol.
