Ha, still probably 25-30$ more than its worth, plus these were clearances down to 19.99 at most walmarts...Black Friday sale my foot, more like "getting rid of something no one wants for double what they'll pay sale"

Just my two cents of course

[Captain Taiga]

I didn't see anything exclusive at Costco this year either. Last year was that Quinjet that was more movie accurate

[bmorr]

I found a blue MU A-BOMB, selling for cost and shipping if anybody's interested, pm me, if not he's getting returned.

[MADREVJACK]

Bmorr- you could always use rit dye to dye the horse and wings black.

[samsson37]

That what I was thinking ...take him outside and spray paint his ass black real quick. Then give him a brush over ina clear sealer

I was as surprised as you were with how bad the Marvel situation at retail was this year. Had to resort to the sales at my local comic shops to get anything worthwhile. Definitely not worth the trip.

I know that either Vort or Onyx used to cast those wings in black.

Black Friday is a myth. 95% of the deals can be had weeks later without the lines and the hassle. The big loss leader deals like cheap TVs or laptops are just a scam to ruin people's holiday and get them angry at each other. Then hopefully they go buy a bunch of other junk because they are there already. I wish people would stop showing up for this stuff, especially when stores open on Thanksgiving day. Toys like MU and ML aren't really Black Friday friendly anyway. Too cheap and too little margin. It's always the $50+ toys that parents will buy for their kids that stores push as it will get average adults in the store and they will shop for other things to make it worth their time. That's the key, finding one item that draws in your customer. You throw out 15-20 flashy deals in a variety of categories and that's your best bet to catch the most people.

you could make THE EBONY SWORD black at least.... just colour with a sharpie. Same with the horse if you didnt want to dye it o paint over the joints.

There are MUCH better markers than sharpie though if you want true black. Just saying, everyone dismisses ink as a viable alternative. You can even brush India Ink over joints and no rub or sticking.

[ukmu]

the horse looks great though!!!!

has anyone tried a Schleike knights horse?

I stopped by the North Austin TRU this morning. The original Thor movie figures are marked down to $2.98 so if your store still has some and you need to fill in your collection then I would check it out.
