On topic: You guys think 28 is a good price on MOC mandarin?


Edit: I thought it was awesome, bought mandarin finally. Just need crimson dynamo for my MOE.

I found a mandarin at an albertons in Gilbert. I did a happy dance in the isle and scared some small children.

I hope that BBTS isn't going the way of the scalper like toy wiz That would suck pretty bad.

Yeah, I pretty much said the same thing on another site. I think 18 will be my last pre-order from them. I've found just about everything else at retail at one point in time anyway.

[Symbiote]

Damn that preorder price is way up there. I'm a sucker though and preordered it. Hopefully it will sure up st retail and I'll cancel it.

Damn, now I want a red ninja jinx gi joe figure. I tossed around the idea to but it when I had the chance but I opted not to since I already went over my budget at the con. I'd appreciate it if someone had an extra one.

That dio is crazy cool. I'd buy one.

I also have an extra future foundation pack.

I'm not a fan of the red mandarin either. I hate to say it but I honestly don't know what other characters they will do for iron man 3. I'd like to see a rescue figure and finally a modular armor iron man with a huge ass proton canon like in mvc2. When I was at the panel at sdcc, other arkers and I were wondering if the iron man 3 line will be heavy on the legends scale.

with a character like iron man, there's so damn many. I can't see every movie getting good toys. Just wont happen. Maybe a few here and there. I wasn't going to risk that green mandarin sky rocketing before the next movie. I was never ever going to pay 50 for him. Rather hit my...self with a hammer.

Off topic: i really want to read the FF comics. I just got the first issue.

I liked the first issue. I have to read the 2nd book over again since it takes place after the war of kings. I finished up that story along with the thanos imperative.

Wait for the movie figure and repaint her, same figure, use a decal for the dragon

[NoodleChow]

so i just received an avengers black widow body to paint up for someone on another board and i noticed she actually has quasi rocker ankles. i was under the impression that everyone said they were just hinged ankles. i say quasi cuz they're just like the MU figures cept not as intuitive.

anyways, now i may actually need one for myself, but still hoping for a good retail find.

[skywarrped]

I was reading some of the posts about the BBTS increase on the newest MU wave and wanted to share some info. I asked them about this on Twitter and this was their response:

"One issue is Hasbro increased prices but the main issue is that Wave 1 had 2 sets of 5 per case, wave 2 has 1 set of 5 per case"

"we have less viable product per case, higher cost per product and a need to recoup our investment on the case"


I also wanted to share how my wife appreciates my figures...she makes them do things like dance.

Thanos does look happy though...

I can all but guarantee I won't be able to find the SW at retail which is why I pre-ordered. If I can find it at retail I'll cancel.

[jaybird7072]

And kang is going to be a bitch to find.. i just pre orderd the case of 12 ill trade the others or return them to walmart or target

Between Retail, and interactions on different sites, I have been able to get every new figure that has come out since wave 1... I have never pre-ordered MU figs from any site...

Admittedly I have bought a few here and there when they first come out on ebay for 13.99...but then find them in stores...

I trust I will find them, and everyone here should too!

Yup that's what I'll do with my spare figures that I don't need...probably be getting gift cards or what not

And yes SW may be hard to get...like I said before and I'll have to agree with BBTS, crappy wave assortment from Hasbro...

I would go retail but it depends on where I'll be at the time....if I know I was going be where I'm at now than I wouldn't worry...but alas it may not be...

Ya almost better to just pick up the case and use the extras as trade/return bait. With the cost and shipping of the full case it's about $10.41 per figure.

Thanks!

He's huge though- no way Spidey should be as tall as Captain America and Cable..and as big as Modern Thor for that matter.

But scale is a thing with me...
You could just get adventureous and put the rockers from a Storm Shadow on the Capt. Britian CP Spidey- he'd have thigh swivel then too!
Add in Doctor Strange's wrists...hmmm....

[Jason Abbadon]

Noodle, you working on that repaint we talked about? I'd love to see what you an do with it!
I'll post some pics if I can tonight of my version.

Guys, that body looks best as a particular blue-skinned villianess...

Dude, I feel ya- I just heard a loud crash, saw my cat fly by the doorway and went to the living rom to ind two week's of comics on the floor.
A coinidence, surely.

Anyway, if BBTS is hosing us, I cant wait to see what those Toywhiz scalpers try! I'm betting at least $100 for the five figs- Kang and Bay spidey will for for upwards of $35 as single figs.

I do want both him and MODOK. Just don't know where'd they go.

I did that. Got these waves a few months ago. Still looking for time to actually open them all.







To keep it MU themed. I'll set up one MODOK with the MU stuff.
