Ultimates Spiderman and 2099

DogFashionDisco · 02-18-2013, 10:47 PM

Over all, I was happy to find this set in person, the price was just a shock to my system. I've been extremely selective with my collecting, but this set was on my radar for a long time. Hell, I was going to buy these two figures loose from a fellow Arker but that deal went rogue, likely due to missed messages. Anyway, I'm glad to have found them, their obscure presence in comics and their great story intrigued me.

Unfortunately, Walmart has the better stock at the moment - probably due to the higher price.

I'd be so stoked for that figure if I didn't already know he had the teeny movie body. Fuck. This is why Hasblo needs to make figures right the first time!

For the same reason no arker would swap me a solid Vision for my spare Wolverine. I don't blame him going Ebay prices, a fair few on here do it to others too. The same folk who usually low-ball others citing "hook-ups"

To be fair Wolverine isn't really a rare one, unless you're talking about the X-Force one...but to each their own.

MADREVJACK · 02-19-2013, 12:12 PM

I don't have any grudges with anyone brother.

I just happen to be the only one who will pay my bills, so I figure I need to do that, family comes first.

That's my point though

Ninjinister · 02-19-2013, 01:08 PM

Yeah, it's wise to not assume everyone's just a greedy wank when they do such things. Sometimes people just really fucking need the money.

Iceman · 02-19-2013, 01:47 PM

I don't think anyone was suggesting he lose money or give he it away. He bought an extra one for a reason though and I am guessing the person he bought it from gave it to him for cost or near there. I wouldn't get a hook up from the community and then turn around and flip it on ebay because it looks bad, but that's just me.

Amen brother! Couldn't have said it better myself.

Your talking out your ass and have no fucking idea how much I paid iceman.
As far as getting hooked up, did anybody else who imported this set get it at retail cost. Grow up iceman.

Chill bro, I actually know what I'm talking about. I got mine at cost (could have gotten 3-4 if I wanted) as did a lot of others here and knowing who you bought those from I can guess at the price after shipping. That isn't really the point though. If you just wanted to get back the money you paid since you need it then you could have just posted a price and said first come first served. Instead you posted a link to ebay, which is actually against thread rules so I'm surprised it wasn't deleted, and that's where some people found fault.

I never said you weren't free to go online and try to get whatever price you want but it just looks bad the way you went about it. I know how it goes. I've sold off over $1000 in collectibles the last couple months to help pay for my families Christmas and the damage done to my car by a hit an run. This is supposed to be a community site and most us have help each other out a lot but no one is losing money.

So, toys and stuff...

MADREVJACK · 02-19-2013, 03:18 PM

Frosty, take care you don't get a nose bleed from that high horse. Seriously dude, I don't chill. You should stop this now.

Everyone else but frosty, didn't realize I was committing such a toyark sin, won't happen again. Frosty's Internet etiquette classes start Saturday. Better sign up early, or you'll look bad in his eyes!

See, I merely tried to explain why the reaction you got isn't unexpected. YOU were the one that jumped down everyone's throat and started name calling and spouting BS. Go back and read the actual posts and then maybe ask yourself why you are reacting that way. I never condemned you but I don't know what else you expected the way you jumped at people. You never even made any actual point other than that the rest of us need to screw off and leave you alone.

You PM me and tell me to drop it then you post something like this attempting to insult me. I guess the fact that you've been on this site for four years and the one feedback you have is from buying, not selling or trading, tells it all. I'm a very laid back person and I did nothing to provoke the ragey response you gave.

Frosty, I'm bored. You hate me, you don't hate me, whatever. I can't change it, but I can stop. I made a fucking mistake, sorry. This back and forth is not what folks want to read. We are mucking up the thread.
If you feel the need to continue this, just send pms so everybody else doesn't have to read it.

That and comic War Machine were the first two I bought. At the time I only had Red Hulk and Hobgoblin from MU. Really got me into buying the 3.75" figures.

Sounds good bro.

snake5289 · 02-19-2013, 03:52 PM

The first two I bought were the Mark VI and movie War Machine. I was hooked on those little IM bastards from then on.
