No Wasp, but I've pre-ordered a case of the next wave so I don't really have to worry about that. I picked up Hulk 'cause he's not in that case. $10.99 is hard to swallow for these now, though :|

Why the hell does Hyperion have two gun-holding hands?

Yeah they are and especially how cheap the card is, being a MOSC for these guys, I was like wow they felt like paper literally in my hands when I was holding them.

Ya a store called aaahs had the line too, but being in LA there all gone. I told the worker who bought them all, he said a fat angry man, lol i said why was he angry, because the store didn't know anything about toys. I told them he is a scalper he probably put it on eBay. Lol the guy was like f that he ain't coming in anymore.

I cracked open indestructible hulk I really like him. Missed out on wasp at Freddie's of course, passed on Hyperion and reaper waiting on my wave 2 case, might change my mind though. It looks like Hyperion and his chastity belt were passed on at all the stores I checked.

Good on you professor! One of our tru's here in sd banned this scalper from coming in too. There's still hope for the rest of us

ukmu, post pictures of the room your planning on working on so we can make a better guess of a potential setup.

get the hell out of here out you spam!!

bmorr · 03-23-2014, 07:53 AM

After i got my Infinite Hulk in, I wanted him to battle Gladiator. So here's my trying out a perspective shot:

Specter · 03-23-2014, 02:24 PM

Considering buying the Uncanny Xmen pack.
Wish I had bought it back when it released.

ukmu · 03-23-2014, 02:25 PM

It is just a bare wall in my son's room. Nothing special bmorr, just a wall. Anyway, dig that shot... but that lamp, wow...not so much!

50 hours away until CAPTAIN AMERICA THE WINTER SOLDIER opens here in UK... Wednesday 26 March with a first showing this Tuesday at midnight!!

First arker to see it!!!!

Sorry for the gloat, we get dick for figures here and I am always jealous of all the pics and talk of the latest and greatest. At least here, we get Marvel Studio movies two weeks early.

On a mu related question.... anyone know the Secret Wars 2pack with Arachne.... who does she come with? I need her and can't find one even on eBay.

and yet not a word about my gigantic beast wars display back there lol. thanks for the compliment tho.

On the display front, if space is an issue, have you considering a shelf that goes over a table or desk? not on top but mounted on the wall above them. Ive done the same thing here. this is waaaay back when my MU could only fit on one shelf haha.

kylactus · 03-23-2014, 05:48 PM

nice perspective shot Bomar! try putting one of those cosmic inserts from the three packs behind Gladiator!

rea1180 the 2 pack is spider woman/Iron man

UKMU, In a world that disappoints me almost daily I won't even point out the irony of Captain America premiering over seas.

side note: How come "Ice Axe" King laufe from Thor has no Ice Axe?

Specter · 03-23-2014, 09:37 PM

So my local Walmart did actually put some more figures out....
4 more pegs of the same old $5 Avengers figures(for a total of 7 full pegs).

todigandbedug · 03-23-2014, 10:06 PM

Looking to trade her for a Dark Avengers Moonstone Ms. Marvel or Spider-Man 3.75" Shocker. Those are my primary wants, but I might entertain other trade offers. I've also got doubles of the new Hulk and Grim Reaper. Thanks!

Specter · 03-24-2014, 07:00 AM

Have the Infinite figures been spotted at Walmats or Targets yet?

trebleshot · 03-24-2014, 07:10 AM

No sign of MI in my area so far. But I'm not all that concerned, since I have no plans to collect them the way I did with MU. With MI, it will be only characters that I like and no more duplicate molds with new paint jobs unless it's supposed to be a different character (barring a few of my favorites).

Alphabetical?
Team Affiliation?
Debut/Publication History?
Heroes/Villains/Anti-Heroes/Reformed Villains?
Type/Source of power (i.e. suit, augmentation, mutation, alien, etc)?

The possibilities are "Infinite".

TBH, I would think that would give MOC/MOSC collectors a lot more freedom and flexibility in displaying their collections.

I want to be hopeful that by April there will be sightings. Im still waiting on SWB 6" wave 3 as well.....I just want that damn stormtrooper.

Not that anyone has reported I don't think, only the stores that are state specific, NW here they've hit the Fred Meyer's which is amazing. If anyone needs anything let me know and I can get them for, saw extra Hyperion, Grim and Hulk. Someone's scalping at the Wasp's though cause that's the only one that wasn't there.

Actually I noticed on the back that they are, there's a # on the back but it's not the same as the old MU numbering style.

Specter · 03-24-2014, 10:19 AM

Well happened to go past Target anyway, they were unloading a huge shipment of toys but no luck with infinite yet.

You won't see infinite until target puts mU on clearance, here in LA most targets have peg warming MU either iron man or spiderman. So I don't plan on seing then here

There is no MU in my Walmarts or Targets so hopefully I won't have to worry about that.
Walmart doesn't even have pegs for them any longer.

Both my TRU are overloaded with Marvel figures so it will probably be a while there.

Some movie Avengers,
Full pegs of $5/$6 Assemble, MU, Iron Man 2, Iron Man 3, Thor 1, Thor 2, Captain America TWS, Amazing Spiderman.

ProfessorHov · 03-24-2014, 03:32 PM

Those iron man 3 toys are crap they are over stocked at Ross no one is buying them and have been peg warming forever at every store I go to. Hasbro is stupid for not making a good 3.75 line like they did with iron man 2, that's my favorite movie line toys for 3.75. I wish I could sit in on a hasblow meeting a say How much they suck

Yeah, a very few sold like the day the movie released but I don't think I saw a single one move after that at any stores.
