Don't forget the gas!! And I agree a bit, since I picked up what I want from Wave 17 online...

So, um, how is this different than this long running Marvel Universe thread that's still on the front page? (and not very far down at that)

Lets see Doomtron , noodlechow , solidwii , optimus vader to name a few , i know theres more.

Well I did find Patriot like 2 weeks ago but its just him and the rest of the wave was missing. And for the CP powerman/ironfist is clogging the pegs.

[bmorr]

id say yes if i saw any evidence of the fact. But the reality is that stores are taking their sweet time restocking.

Well hopefully this will be the thread for the stuff that our Mods wont let us discuss on that thread.

[LapuLapu]

Yeah Im at my go to Target like 8 am ( I work night shift and gets off at 730 am ) and I literally open that target but I have a feeling that this week will be the week , that target has only 4 MU on its pegs.

yeah, there are a few of us it seems. i will admit the lure of this site is the format/layout - like that 'other' site that starts with an H.

seems there are less egos here, which is a good thing like MN.

Gotta spread the love! I poke around on The Fwoosh too. It's nice to be able to find new trading partners.

That thread is for specifically showing your appreciation for Marvel Universe 3.75" figures according to the title. Technically you shouldn't even talk about Sentinels or Galactus there because they're bigger than that.

This thread is for anything to do with the Marvel Universe series of toys.

I agree with this. I've even talked to a couple Target higher-ups (managers?) who say this is the case. No rush to get toys sorted out and filled up because most people are pretty done with buying toys for awhile after Christmas.

Speaking of Iron Fist, how come they don't make Shang-Chi? They would probably use the same mold, just different coloring...

Just watch once the Marvel movies start to drop in theaters is when we'll see a massive inventory of MU figures...with the movie line.

Did that for my birthday! It was a wonderful gift from my wife, who let me hunt stores in Phoenix for 2 days while she took care of the kids. It was wonderful, but I only had one great hit in all of the whole 50ish stores.

The age-old question, "Why don't they...?" I believe the answer is because the people making the series doesn't actually collect it.

Anyways I opened up Patriot and that comic shot is such a let down its just a piece of soft cardboard, I was hoping that it'll be something like the filecards.

I haven't seen a clear picture of the comic shots, can some one post a pic?

[bmorr]

theyre jsut scans of existing comic books covers the size of a postage stamp. its not even original art drawn for the MU line.

Use this one specifically for Marvel Universe, per LapuLapu's original post. Per Optimus Vader, his thread was meant to cover all Marvel 3.75" figures, not just MU.

Why don't you just close this thread and leave it as the old one, every time someone posts about GI Joe or Star Wars in it we just tell them they're off topic and it carries on going...

Just like before!
