..and you can see what you're buying. I just got my DD/BE set from HTS (for under $12 shipped w/code, or I would've waited) and the paint on Bullseye is a mess.. and I'm not that picky.

It's sad, I found myself passing on several things lately. I think I'm definitely off the completionist wagon, but I still want certain figures.

Wow BBTS is expensive. 18.33 per pack regular, 20.33 for collector's grade? That's worse than TRU. Still, better than LCS prices, 22.99.

I don't know if I can justify $18 for Captain Britain/Spidey though. I couldn't even get that much in store credit for it anywhere, and no one is clamoring to trade for it...

That comic pack verifies what I said months ago- that crappy Doom sub figure uses the (I guess rubber) gauntlet from the Warlock figure.

Soon I can re-create this amazing cover-

Kinda weird that the gauntlet went from a leftie to a rightie...I suppose it's a combonation of infinite power and crappy marvel editorial oversight (like how they got Tony and Black Bolt's gems mixed up in that story).
Do marvel's editors do anything besides troll fans and lick writer's boots?

Really? That's the most common pack here at TRU and Target.

I don't know, Sinister kind of looks like a drag queen.

I love the color of the figure..and Sinister always had a "Rocky Horror" feel to me anyhow..lol. His latest appearance in Uncanny Xmen is a far cry from the Sinister I love..he seems a little light in the loafers..so this pack is a must for me.

Maybe they can custom him into a Ms. Sinister than :P Although in the card he does look pretty cool.

giosclone · 12-06-2011, 01:50 PM

Yeah, I though sisnister was always kinda drag to me, specially since he was sucha brown nose to Apocalypse back in the day. but eh.

so is Thanos purple or darker blue?

Man that is a nice jacket on Gambit..."your clothes, give them to me, now"...

I don't know about Sinister, nice sculpt and reuse of Colossus buck, but he looks like a goofy drag-queen...or is it rather Madamoiselle Sinister?
