Hmmm... my LCS must have also order 1 case of Wave 17 revision 1 too: http://www.entertainmentearth.com/im...V78230S1lg.jpg I also remember seeing a Union Jack there too.

They always end up charging extra for shipping where I live, plus at least I got to pick the one with the best paint apps. I heard some Psylocke quality control horror stories. LOL.

My LCS charged $10.99 for MU figures, regardless of who the figure is and how it is distributed.

FallenOne · 01-11-2012, 10:01 PM

Dude, I wish I had your LCS. Most around here charge at least $13 per figure, if not more. And they don't exactly stock often.

Pokemon a go-go.

not really, its actually a new thread in case people want to chat up MU related shiz and not get gobsmacked by Mods who respond to complaints from members who complain that the 3.75 thread goes "off topic."

personally, i feel letting threads go off topic (slightly) is ok from time to time because, in actuality, many of us utilize threads like RL conversations, which inherently by nature can be topically random.

human nature, i guess. so yeah.

LapuLapu · 01-12-2012, 01:21 AM

So who thinks that quicksilver and daredevil comic pack wave and wave 17 will get skipped at most retail stores??

Jason Abbadon · 01-12-2012, 01:26 AM

I do think they'll hit retail...eventually.

Right now there's so much comic packs clogging the pegs that you cant blame stores for not stocking the new stuff!
Maybe when the next comic packs are hitting BBTS...I'm glad I bought mine back when they went on preorder- these last foour are definitely the best comic packs to date!

As to Wave 17...hell if I know! My local stores' toy asiles are barren wastelands- Target has not restocked shit sinCh

Gotta remember to stick a green soul Gem on Adam Warlock's forehead- he looks naked without it!

That's reasonable if you're looking for something like Psylocke and dont want to piss away even more money on gas like I have!

bmorr · 01-12-2012, 07:17 AM

i hear yah. lotta gas burned on hunts these past few weeks with no return. Im hoping that february is the month of good scores.

trebleshot · 01-12-2012, 07:31 AM

I'm actually kind of glad that MU is slow to restock around here. Gives me a chance to catch up on some of the older releases that I missed when they were first out.

This thread is meant to cover anything regarding MU: hauls, release dates, pics, general discussion about the toys, etc.

But only MU. No other Marvel lines. The 3.75" thread covers all Marvel lines in that scale, including MU.

Going off-topic once in a while is fine (contrary to popular belief). As you said, normal conversations tend to meander a little here and there before getting back on topic or changing topics altogether. Tangents only becomes an issue when the thread isn't brought back on-topic on its own (gets dereailed) or members are posting only off-topic stuff (spamming).

LapuLapu · 01-12-2012, 09:07 AM

Just got back from walmart and target. Walmart has increase the price of MU

And target beside that walmart has gone to 8.99 whathaf@€# is happening ??

Walmart went to $5 MU to clear out old stock and just went back to the higher pricing again in time for the new product to be put out. Just means we're closer to getting restocked. Target's matching them, probably for the same reason.

TRU is your best bet, they seem to be the only place I've ever seen him, at different times

Dang that much?? Wow they must know that MU is a high commodity now. If retail is jumping that high I wonder how high the LCS will put it up? Wonder how much TRU sells it for? They're usually the ones that sell them at a higher price. I'll check my hunting grounds tomorrow.

Wowser's. You're a So Cal hunter? Has to be tough with the amount of Scalper's in LA....and yes TRU usually barren.

yeah, its tough. bright spots are my online and RL collector buddies that help out. i try and do the same since west coast has a tendency to get stuff first, at times... but yeah, plenty of competition out in the wild.

Oh ya most def. That and the distance of the drive plus traffic, will most likely force me to just get what I want on Ebay if I had to relocate to LA.

eBay is a crap shoot. i 'watch' a lot of auctions but only snipe last second if the price is right. again, online forums/making friends is the best way to go out here.

eBay prices do not always reflect how i value figs, so i exercise caution on the site when buying.

Too true I agree with you on that.

Marvel Universe Action Figures Wave 17 Revision 2 - Hasbro - Marvel - Action Figures at Entertainment Earth[/QUOTE]

No wonder I saw a Black Widow at a Target by her lonesome self during the X-Mas holidays. She must have been in this revision pack, but everything was gone. Here's hope I'll see an Archangel though, would love to crack one open to have his wings spread out.

flipwilson · 01-12-2012, 12:50 PM

People are pretty much posting the exact same stories and pics in this thread as the other one. So, what's the point of 2 separate threads again...?

LORD MARVEL · 01-12-2012, 01:00 PM

i would like to express my full opinion on this but i would rather not get banned.. bro
so it is... what it is...

So these are coming out soon? I passed on black widow before, I think i'd get her now. Havoc, archangel, dark hawkeye. That's just awesome. More stuff to hunt for!

flipwilson · 01-12-2012, 01:41 PM

Sadly enough, Archangel was one I passed on. I got death instead because I thought he looked cooler. Definitely kicking myself in the ass on that one.
