Sooo why does all Walmarts have new Amazing Spidey line for $7.47 a piece in my area, but Target and TRU still sits at 9.99 (OH MY! 8.49 ON SALE! ....)

Seems pretty stupid when WM is the only one that even has the second wave/poseable spidey so far.

[PROVOST]

[Symbiote]

Ughh I need those two figures^. Luckily, I'm just waiting on my bbts preorder for that hulk along with the rest of that wave. BW is still a treasure hunt. Nice pic.

Has anyone tried doing a legs swap with the new hulk and the one from the sw comic pack/light up base one?

[Dragon Prime]

Does anybody here have the new MU Hulk from the Avengers 4pk and the Avengers movie Hulk and if so can you please take a comparison pic.

I am thinking of switching heads with these two, and I want to know if their around the same size.

Too bad we won't see a redo, or a collector series MU Style Movie Avengers set. I would gladly pay $50 for a set like that.

Because there isn't someone dedicated to walking around every store in the area checking all their prices. I think people here tend to overestimate the importance of the toy aisle, and one small portion of it at that, in the grand scheme of an entire store. Or in the case of TRU, one line of figures out of an entire store's worth.

In the case of Walmart and Target, the action figure aisle is pretty much on par with the impulse bins at the front of the store. It's not anywhere near a major source of sales. You can't expect it to be treated with anything more than an afterthought. Even in TRU, you'll see that the action figures are a fraction of the size of the Lego, board games, and toddler toys.

[Orchix]

Can anyone post pics of MU Archangel in poses? I've only ever seen him posed standing up. Does he look good in flying poses or poses where it looks like hes firing feathers or kneeling?

you are so modest, Lee. I can't wait to add this to my collection. I sent you an email about her hair. Boba's comment below is pretty much how I feel. I LOVE everything about her, only the hair does need some volume.

Once that is touched up, she will be perfect.

The LUB or 4 pack Cap A is basically the CP Cap A just with different/vibrant color (also I heard the LUB Cap A has beefier forearm) while 3 pack or international patriot pack or kmart exclusive that Cap A is based on the Cap A from the Cap A first avenger movie lines. So the Comic Packs are taller than the movie ones.

I believe the LUB Cap has the forearms (gloves) of the movie Cap and that's why they're a little larger. I've never been a fan of the movie "comic" Caps (besides Bucky), but LUB Cap is THE Cap in my house.




Would The real Cap please stand up..

all my targets have posable spidey as of last week. the price was the reason i passed him up after seeing how tiny he was.

as for the 3.75 warmachine with blu arc. i just looked at mine and noticed i have a warmachine with no markings (the 001 etc) and a red. i must have an earlier release before a running change was made

CAN you overestimate the importance of the toy aisle? I SAY THEE "NAY"!!!

Coming from someone with "Nerf" in his callsign your logic is somewhat suspect.

I think you're just trying to keep the rest of us OUT of the toy aisles so you can grab all of my ScarJo girlfriends! You're the one keeping us apart. Did my wife put you up to this?

Did you think the 3.75-4" line was bigger?

I found a Cap at HEB I'll trade.

[Boba Fettuccini]

Anyone willing to swap a movie Hawkeye for maskless Cap? I had a trade lined up, but the dude never gave me his shipping address... and hasn't followed up for over a week.

I do indeed have both the red and blue, but apparently haven't taken updated pictures of my entire collection in a LONG time.

I heard that. There's also some noise out there about some grey paint getting updated to a shiny grey paint at some point, but I haven't seen those comparisons in any pictures...

Here's the one I have a picture of at hand, red and numbery:

Could it be that the postage was printed and the package is still sitting in the dude's house or car?

That's really a great strategy. Chill out until the Winter freeze and pick them up at your leisure.

Don't be sad, new figures are on their way to your Walmart!

XMO blob is the closest thing to in scale we've got.

I found a few Mandarins at grocery stores back in the day. Worth a shot?

You could have also done the BOGO50% at TRU too, that would have made them about $7.50 each as well.

Of course, I just bought the ones I wanted from Target and then bought random ones from the line from Walmart and returned those to Target. Two weeks later Walmart had the same ones anyway.

Lol. I'm now picturing what den is going to be doing with those ScarJos when he finds them.

He actually was restocked at some Walmarts fairly recently, before the Scarjo wave. They're still lurking a bit, but mostly shuffled around the country to collectors.



I also wanted to appreciate this Walmart. They're usually pretty terrible, but seem to be working hard at retaining a few of the harder to find stuff:

Look close, there's Hulks in that last one...

This is the same Walmart where I found this two weeks ago:


Poor The Rock has no right hand anymore! Crippled for life and left for dead!

[Peteparker]

New X-Men 6 Pack found in TRU Hong Kong!

Via chubbyman on The Fwoosh:


Pretty amazing set! And another one to buy just because there's a single new figure in it... What's up with Iceman's belt?

EDIT: oh yea, it's the original X-Factor team minus Beast.
