I cannot agree with ya more bro. Plus I think ppl posting pictures or collection photos, we can all appreciate that and relate so when we do trades or deals with each other, its more personable.

I also told him I'm tired of going into every target in Knoxville to see this one guy over and over. Either mark them them down or order new product.

Well a week later new cases hit the target I bought all the purple guy at.....

Nicely done. I always think of doing that. I should try that at my Walmart. I think there are only like 2 MU figures left.

That's one of the things I like best about MU is that a fan of any era of Marvel can get characters they know and want. I wouldn't have thought I'd be able to get 3.75'' figures of a lot of the characters I grew up with, rather than just tons of new characters and repeats of the ones pretty much any person can name like Wolverine or Spider-Man (which yes they did do repeats of them, but along side more obscure characters). That being said are there any eras you think they are forgetting and need more of? Like leather jacket Avengers or Morrison X-Men?

Man I'll tell you what. The first 3.75 figure I bought was XMO Deadpool. The roomate was collecting MU and I got sucked in. At first it was just collecting figures I liked, Spidey (X-Men), then when I got into trouble was trying to complete the teams. I always appreciate it when you can complete the team. Then Marvel starting hitting up the summer movie releases and then starting reading comics and it was over from there.

Are preorders up for the next wave yet? Now that the Prof. X wave is in, I have nothing waiting in my bbts store account.

LordRaydeN · 03-08-2013, 06:28 PM

My version:

Thanks!

So I gotta thank you guys. Because of all those horror stories, I'm making sure she stays intact.

Good to hear you got a good quality figure,breaking limbs has never been much of an issue for me,its only ever happened twice,apocalypse was the other figure(leg)<<<fixed that problem.

I'm pretty sure that's a custom using a Avengers movie Hulk, very nicely I might add. I really ave no idea why they didn't include Beast in the X-Factor set (Scott, Jean, Warren, Bobby, Apocalypse and Sinister. No Hank, it's a damn shame. I was never a fan of Morrison's cat Beast so any other Beast figure would be snatched up by me quickly.

XOW Deadpool was my first modern 3.75'' figure too. Him and brown suit Wolverine. A week later I was getting more and now I can't stop. I know exactly what you mean about needing to complete teams the Defenders took me for ever due to Doctor Strange, I had been using a holographic Obi-wan as a place holder. Now it's Scarlet Witch and Hercules I need to complete Cap's Avengers and the Champions.

Man that old skool beast custom is so sweet. That looks like it took quite a bit of effort but the end result shows itself at the end.

Big shout out to Colder Soldier. Got this in the mail yesterday (perfectly timed with my birthday). Thanks a lot. I've been hunting to get this guy.

Now I can finally do this.

Tarooster · 03-09-2013, 01:32 PM

Just picked up the whole wave besides Puck, just couldn't shell out the $15 for him in person.

I was in toys r us today and I saw something interesting. They had this $20 pack with the 2 2-headed wolf monsters with saddles on them. One was brown and the other was white. They come with two greenish action figures. I'm thinking they would be a great alternative to the Hobbit Wolves. I think the pack was called true warriors. Sorry no pic.

Tarooster · 03-09-2013, 03:33 PM

Attleboro Walmart bmorr?

bmorr · 03-09-2013, 03:44 PM

My local toy collector shop was only charging 17 for Thor. And since people were mentioning how Marvel figs were found at the Disney Store, I went in and found another Nova.

honestly, Hasbro will never top the sculpt and articulation on that figure. only downside is the clunky cape that keeps falling off
