I will charge $7 shipping to cover all orders no matter how big or small, so it pays to get more. $$ Is going to cover cost of my car repairs. I hate to sell a lot of it, but I know it will be going to good ppl and I am trying to be on par with retail costs aka what I paid. Open to offers/trades, check my wants page for what I need.

good lord this is the second arker this week to get out of the game. Are you gonna try to rebuild some time in the future or is this the end?

Symbiote's pictures of the new wave make it look like they're actually putting a little effort in making their toys look awesome on the back of the cards. I especially how they posed beast like that on the back.

I got them too, everyone is posed awesomely, everyone except Kraven, he looks like he's trying to avoid stepping in a pile of dog shit.

Also, his knee skulls are painted bone color, however the actual figures skulls were left black.

Boo to you Hasbro, boo to you

I didn't notice it either until I was taking snap shots of the packaging. A small detail but I appreciate those kinds of things.

Yup I noticed that too. Kraven's necklace is also not painted like how it is portrayed in the picture. I'm going to have to fix that along with the skulls on his knees.

The paint apps on the order I got from bbts will need some work. I need to touch up Beta Ray Bill's eye and jaw, Miles Morales eye, give Hulk eyebrows, and detail Kraven. All and all, this set is fantastic. My favorite is Beast. The articulation and detail on this figure is amazing and I have very high hopes that they will do a classic 90s version.

I saw this at Albertson's Grocery store and had to get it. Throw him around and he always lands on his feet, lol.

SquirtleSquad7 · 08-07-2012, 07:51 AM

If I can get to my LCS without someone buying all the new figures tomorrow, I think I'm going to pick up spidey and Beast. Kraven I'll hope to find in stores, hulk I already have, And Beta Ray Bill, I don't even know anything about, so possibly after some wiki reading, I'll pick him up too.

Whoa are you certain these are hitting your LCS tomorrow? If that is the case I am hoping mine gets them in as well, the owners said they would hold me a entire wave once they come in!

LapuLapu · 08-07-2012, 07:53 AM

Woohoo !! Thanks Jason A. Got the scarjo BW and those awesome decals. Cant wait to put it on my custom Fury and his Shock troopers. Youre awesome man!

This will keep me preoccupied since Wave 18 has yet to show up at retail around me. Im guessing end of this month atleast.

Call ahead bro! I called mine, and the girl said they'd be getting new MU figures this week! Whether it's the new wave or not I've yet to see, but it sounds as if it is.

The necklace thing bugged me too.

One of my bills has splotchy leg armor paint, the other has a bit of splotch on the wrist where the white part is, I wouldn't attempt to fix the leg armor paint since its that metallic sparkly paint and hard to duplicate by mear mortals so I'll open the other.

But all in all, awesome figures.

When my new punisher arrives on Thursday, I'll be in hog heaven. I gotta say that could be my favorite figure of the year.

Does it make you feel better that I'll be getting prof x, Jubes, and blastaar this week too?

Neither of my LCS' who order these cases could confirm they're getting these this week.

I do believe my LCS' suck.

SquirtleSquad7 · 08-07-2012, 08:24 AM

I'm only hoping they're talking about the new wave, but even if they aren't, I'll be happy because there's still a lot of MU I want.

I am not sure what is worse, I pre-ordered the wave 18 & 19 revision case and waiting at least another month for that and looking at everyones pics here...

or

Prof X, Jubilee and Blastaar wave that i've been checking on ebay (almost daily these past few days) hesitating that someone will sell it cheaper and telling myself March is not that far away, lol

Jimmyo · 08-07-2012, 08:35 AM

I'm starting to panic about wave 21 (Jubes,prof,Blaastar) I am getting tempted to buy it early just incase they short ship it to regular retail as it seems to be out so early

Damn, your all set for awhile then. At least until the nova wave is released.

Lol a friend of a friend orderd 2 cases from robot kingdom outa hong kong, they were 124 each, plus 20 each shipping. So he's going to the evil bay with extras to try and recoup some losses, but I'm buying Jubes/blas/and prof for 22 bucks a piece. But with them not supposed to be hitting retail until 2013, and even then hasbro's distro being what it is, I'm biting the bullet.

They are unfortunately out of stock now on the site, but if folks watch for it to come back, and are willing to pay 144 for a case then they could be had.

Envy not, Arkers. There is plenty of crack to go around. The patient worm saves apples. Lol.

Don't get caught w your eye twitching.

@solid: NICE

Does anyone have an extra Xavier school Wolverine for sale / trade? I'm getting back into customs and I'm planning on making Forge. Either head works, I'd even take just the buck. PM me if so. Thanks all!

@Symbiote: ARe those the stage 3 flight stands that go for like $5 a pop on ebay? I haven't pulled the trigger yet but I'm really wanting a few for my 3 3/4" figure displays.
