@bmorr - your dio is awesome!

Did you design it for gone 3.75, or do see it as universal?

[Ninjinister]

Trying out some new stands that I ordered. Sadly, not all of my figures want to work with provided peg :| Avengers Assemble Nick in particular, has giant pegholes.

Ha! At least your Walmart has them! My local 6 Walmarts don't even carry them!

Hey thanks man! Its just for 3.75 figs. If it was for 6" the building would be MUCH taller. I had to stretch the image so the door was at least 5" tall. I have been tinkering around to do something with 6" SWB, but we'll see.

[Primacron]

Decided to go for a more modern Red Skull.

[ukmu]

The Avengers Skrulls have LARGE peg holes as well NINJINISTER...

Digging that modern look PRIMACON, and also a new print shop opened down the road from me. I am gonna ask about having those logos made into stickers for us later this week. Will keep you posted.

Cheers!

Talking of Hydra decals, I notice there's some good stickers with the recent Cap/Skull Lego set, but quite an expensive way of getting them.

You can buy ANY sticker sheet on its own from lego.....

Didn't know that!

They're almost perfect, just not the right colour.

[ukmu]

The guy in the gift shop at lego land told me you can contact customer service for replacements including stickers. Never tried, but worth a shot..... let me see what this shop says, I am sure they will do it though.

That might not be the case with this particular set though. I know that licensed properties work differently than standard Lego sets when it comes to aquiring bits directly from Lego.

While you can get replacement pieces from them for almost any of thier sets, I know for certain that you cannot get a replacement shield for Cap or any of the Marvel mini figure bits.

I'm not certain about decals, but I'd imagine that licenced symbols would be subject to the same restrictions.

And I most certainly did.

[VashTS]

Not sure, but has Hasbro flat out stopped making bigger scaled figures such as Galactus, Frost Giants and SEntinels. Would love some movie sentinels. I remember a few years ago, they promised a SDCC Fing Fang Foom, any word on any new bigger universe figures?

I called my mom to wish her all the best and she told me that she bought Marvel 3 pack at Ross (with green guy, gijoe and big rat with guns) for her grandson, my son ).

just got this guy in from China

[Captain Nash]

Seeing the listing for wave 4 Infinites is disappointing but not surprising. Given it's GoTG I'm a bit sad they would of have a chance to include Gamora and passed her up. I think I'll pass, though I may get ionic wonderman if I see him in stores or at a good price online.

My only hope is that with this wave four coming out supposedly in July we'll get another two waves this year, maybe Northstar and Emma Frost will show up in one of those two.

Nice pick up!
I remember OML selling for crazy prices a few years ago, might be wrong but I thought I saw an eBay listing where he sold for a few hundred $$$.

Hasbro didn't make Gamora because girl figures don't sell. Look at Wasp and black widow...

[En Sabah Nerd]

Clearly action figures of female heroes and villains don't sell. That's why you can hardly find Wasp in the wild, some kind person of nobility has graced your local establishment's presence and taken the unwanted scourge of the ne'er-selling female figures so you don't have to see them shelf-warm as they certainly would. Clearly.

Seriously Hasbro...

[kylactus]

I don't think there as popular for the "target consumer" of young boys, ergo they make fewer, leading to popularity on the secondary market amongst adult collectors, causing scalpers to buy them out, and finally leading to us paying above retail for (in the case of wasp after wave 2 hits) the most distributed figure in the series.
Old man logan sold for buku bucks after the NYCC where he was only available in extremely limited quantities to a select group that had passes to some invite only Hasbro panel, the next year at SDCC he was made available again as an exclusive to everyone, then he was on HTS for a wile, that's what caused the price to slip. but he is a bad cool figure, I wish they made a gigantic battles set with him and crazy hillbilly hulk.
