Thats why I keep throwing money at the BST, even Scalpers don't seem that bad compared to UK retail. oh and we don't see most exclusives here and waves arrive seriously late.

Guys here have been fantastic at helping me out though (thanks Nathan)

Indeed, that Americans seem as outrageous is usually equivalent to (and sometimes less than) British retail. It is how it is. Sometimes I feel like all I do is moan about how lucky the Americans have it in terms of price and availability

FrankCastle · 08-06-2012, 03:53 PM

Damn I feel shafted. I paid 17 a piece for those comic packs.guess back to target they will go tomorrow

Indeed they are, I've bought from a few lads here who have sold at no more than retail plus the shipping cost, which has been quite the penny saver

on Well Hasbro has royally screwed up the distribution on waves 18 and 19. Half of the specialty stores have gotten the Beta Ray Bill(18) wave and the other half have gotten or are in the process of getting scarlet witch (19) wave. Supposely the ones that got the 18 will get 19 in OCT and ones that got 19 will get 18 in Oct. What a @#$% mess.

Oh I don't think it's that bad of a thing. Just gets more figures out sooner :-)

SquirtleSquad7 · 08-06-2012, 04:19 PM

Good job finding those for 12! I, too thought that shaking TRU down to 15 was good!

Tiberius · 08-06-2012, 04:21 PM

MU went on clearance down island at Walmart. My buddy picked up like 8 Aim agents lol. So this is either a sign that they got new shit coming/waiting in the back OR dropping the line.

FrankCastle · 08-06-2012, 04:21 PM

Is anyone interested in paying 17 plus shipping for these? I just snagged em for you guys. I don't collect mu.

Thats awesome! TRU is usually good with giving you the benefit if they didnt take down their clearance stickers...

Jason Abbadon · 08-06-2012, 04:39 PM

HOLY SMOKES, GUYS!

In my wanderings through the Internet, I found this caster of custom headsculpts that I had never heard of and decided his inventory looked too amazing to not take a chance on...and today, less than a week later, my order arrived!!!!

Honestly, these are THE BEST custom stuff I have ever seen- go order now!
tofujesse - Home

I bought $40 worth of custom heads- including tht flipping incredible Nick Fury head which will replace my own custom's head (though I'm fond of it).
I got a helmet for my Ares custom too- very nicely cast and everything is bubble-free. Definitely done with a pressure pot.

When you order, let him know I sent ya- I dont get anything out of it, but I mentioned to him just now how impressed I am and that I'd send the Toyarkers his way!

I never really knew that, so I was really surprised when he only charged me 15! He took it down though, so I couldn't share the benefit with other MA Arkers. :[

BTW, are you still interested in the Avengers Cap and the boxed wolverine? You never got back to me on it.
