$9.99 and $18.99 is common pricing for figures in Canada since the line started!, so hard to feel bad for ya man. Hasbro's just wanting more of your $$.

The Canadians complain about the prices almost as much as you do!! :-) ..just bustin your onions. Nobody likes these price increases..the pinch is felt by all races ,religions and nations. :-(

Chris Evans head looks decent. Like a cross between Chris Evans and that GI JOe Duke head everyone uses for Cap A.

hey if your cool with droppin $20 for a cp thats cool,im just surprised at this current price hike,but dont sit there and say I complain about price hikes dude,I mentiond it once or twice man,whatever,the only reason I comment about the canada loathing is because all those guys do is say "hey its always been like that here man,get used to it",and I think it gets old,wheres the issue?

BigHanksCustoms · 02-28-2012, 11:01 AM

A couple Wally's near me have MU Sentinels marked down to $40. Anyone confirm a lower markdown before I go spend $400 and get 10 of them...

I ve been waiting to see a mark down and have not yet. 40$ is sounding pretty good right about now.

Yeah, realistically I want 6, 3 for a Sentinel scouting troop and 3 to make a TriSentinel (thanks for the idea Jason Abbadon!)

I may grab a couple at $40 to lock them into the collection, if the prices drop again and I miss them I'll be thinking $40 wasn't so bad.

Out of 4-5 "Rocket Grenade" Caps he was the only one without the helmet. I have no idea of any other variants. Didn't even know they were doing that. He's the right one to have a variant though, Hasbro can always churn out a standard release Cap without the helmet in another wave.

Alright well I finally got around to using jin saotome's forum on making transparent accessories. Here is what I came up with so far. I like how it turned out. The possibilities are endless for transparent accessories.

Ghost Rider Spirit of Justice

Gambit with kinetic card effects

BigHanksCustoms · 02-28-2012, 11:28 AM

Very nice work Symbiote! Is that a custom bike or maybe the ML Showdown bike? Looks great, Gambit's cards too!

jaybird7072 · 02-28-2012, 11:42 AM

Jus on break from work.. stoped in the walmart right next to my work and found the maskless cap i wanted

Nice work man! I wonder how rare he'll end up being. I have been to about 4-5 freshly stocked Wally's yesterday and today and that was the first/only time I saw him helmetless.

The price hike started the beginning of this year, sad part is that it's Target and HTS that really hiked them up. TRU hasn't yet though...

ya i been to 3 walmarts and have just been seeing the mask version. then today there were 4 caps and one was the maskless.. so they might be kinda rare haha not to sure yet..

That's why I haven't opened him yet, lol. Maybe trade bait....

I'm a pretty good hunter so I'm sure I'll snag another.....

I believe Targets and Wallys near me are still $8.96 for MU singles and I thought I saw CPs for 17.00 at one Target.

They're still full price by me, but a few weeks ago people were posting that their local Walmarts had them for $15. I don't know that I'll ever see them that low, but I can't imagine we won't be seeing these things for 50% off original price at some point... there's certainly no shortage of them.

I just checked a fully stocked Walmart (they were putting them out when I was there) and all of the Caps were masked (2 of the rocket Cap). I quickly scanned the other figures, but didn't notice any differences... I'm kinda hoping for a Robert Downey Jr. head variant now.

You should just start a toy company. That card effect is fantastic.

$15 dollar Sentinels would make for a very happy Big Hank. I agree about the inventory. I can lay my hands on literally 30 of them between 3 WMs and one TRU (Which had it marked down to $50)

But even at 50% off I'm grabbing shitloads.

Hasbro needs to get their shit together if not. If they made a maskless Cap AND the removable helmet on the latest MU Iron man, then I see nothing to stop them. I'm going to really search thru the avengrs figs for other variants now. The variants of the cap and thor movie figs were my favorite ones in the line.

Hey guys I was thinking about selling my mu 2 pack Frost giant. ONLY the frost giant but I do still have the box. pm if you would be interested.
