That's a great set. I do have a suggestion for you though.. put something sticky (Quakehold, that tacky stuff for hanging posters, etc) on the bottom of his feet so he doesn't do a split and take out one of your shelves. He's so heavy that on a smooth surface his feet will slowly start sliding outwards.

Starting to see wave 17, but psylocke is alway missing...

Optimus Vader · 02-17-2012, 10:44 AM

I just bought her (Psylocke) from Pete. I have a feeling by the time he's finished with her she's going to be pretty loose.

BAZINGA!!

Same over here on the west cost, I'm sure the employes are snagging her, because I have been there when the store opens, first one in the door, walk right to the toy isle that had none of that wave the day b4, and the whole wave is there, minus Psy

That's the employees for sure. They stock at night.

Eventually it'll be saturated, and some will get thru, but maybe you should complain to the customer service or manager?

Anybody else seeing series 2 of the Avengers Light Up figures at TRU?

My TRU is stocked full of series 1.

Did pick up a Captain Marvel though.

I just want a Black Widow with a nice paintjob.

Optimus Vader · 02-17-2012, 12:26 PM

I just hit a Target and saw Iron Fist and Patriot, but that was it. That's the first I'm seeing Wave 17 in stores. I'd say within about a month that wave will be all over and we'll all be sick as hell of seeing it.

Pete's shipping her loose. I had to.

trebleshot · 02-17-2012, 12:47 PM

Nothing new in my area, so I've been trying to fill in some gaps with my collection. I really need to start picking these guys up the first time I see them instead of trying to predict who the shelfwarmers are going to be.

And or pay for them at scalper's price when you do want them...from experience of course

Both my TRUs are full up on series 1 too. I thought about buying them all from one store and returning them to the other, but back up at $19.99 each, that's quite a load to carry for nothing more than a *possible* solution.

Plus, I don't get to check either TRU all that often, so it's altogether possible they could get in the new ones after I do all the work and sell them quickly enough that I don't get any.

Symbiote · 02-17-2012, 02:23 PM

Some appreciation for spirit of vengeance today.

I'm keeping my expectations low but it being a marvel movie, I have to see it.

The devil's bounty hunters

Optimus Vader · 02-17-2012, 02:29 PM

Every time I look at your Ghostrider I make a mental note to buy some of those chains and then forget. I might just write it on my hand today.

Symbiote · 02-17-2012, 02:45 PM

Any arts store has it. I got it at Michaels.

Symbiote · 02-17-2012, 02:57 PM

I haven't checked in a while but I know its a lot more rare than anything in the Avengers 3-pack. Makes me scratch my head that he kept the shoulder pods. I do have three of those Sea Assault Drones from when they went clearance. Maybe I should check ebay
