Awesome collection BM! And great hauls everybody! If anyone has an extra mandarin let me know!

montressor · 11-23-2012, 04:05 PM

A word to the wise and oft shady. Buy two with the figs you want and switch them at home careful of the glue. Then return unwanted figure 8 pack by the next day to hopefully stock up on the ones you missed that's what I did this morning. Hope I'm not judged. I bought 2 created, the dream pack carfully and returned the dregs for another including green mandarin and another hulk buster today. I'm evil but it worked, so hey. Nice guys finish last. Hate to admit it.

Fellow, Arkers...hope all your family and friends had a happy and wonderful "Turkey Day!" Also, wanted to give s hand clap for the vine on the Wal-Mart 8-pack! Went to the first WM, nothing but Star Wars 8-pack...went to second Wal-Mart, and bingo was his name-oh yeah, baby!

I hope they'll have a few these packs leftover tomorrow. REALLY want one with comic Whiplash and/or Mandarin. Couldn't go today but I did order an IM2 Advanced Armor figure for like 5 bucks. Never saw one in stores and really wanted one.

It's Marvel 3.75" figures. Universe is the main line but stuff like IM2 and Cap fits in perfectly with some figures actually being better. It's all Hasbro anyway.

lol i actually did a swap at the store. one pack had a mandarin i wanted so i switched that one for a stupid thor that was in the pack i was going to buy. so no judgement from me. besides, it's not like you took the figure out of the package and put a dollar store one in...

WOW...! Kinda fucked up guys....Trying to justify stealing.......And also don't forget the other collector's that have seen pics online of these things. Just to find one, and then the figures that are supose to be in it are not...You guys are just as bad as repackers in my book...!!!!! PATHETIC!!!!!!

BAD MOON · 11-23-2012, 08:33 PM

just got back from 4 different walmarts that were all cleaned out, but at least i found an iron monger single carded on the pegs. it must have been ripped out of an 8-pack and left behind in my favor. rang up for like 5 bucks and change.

strongchad · 11-23-2012, 10:24 PM

Went to Walmart this morning, saw some of the value packs, ended up going back later on to pick them up, ended up getting two...sorta. Both were ripped apart, but me and the salesperson found some of the stragglers that were hiding on the shelves, but still had three empty holes so we just threw in 3 peg warmers, Avengers Skrull, a Namor and a Captain from the MU line.

I don't feel bad either since I even told the cashier and he was cool with it.

I plan on keeping all but some of the Iron Man figures (though keeping Ultimate IM), Whiplash, Guardian, and Captain from the Cap line are all up for B/S/T if anyone needs them.

Dinofreak · 11-23-2012, 10:40 PM

Had a great week in the army builder department.

Got a couple of hydra and shield goons, MU Skrulls (not the avengers line) and a Air Assault Droid from IM 2.

See this is what I mean....Look at the bottom pack this dude got...Looks like one Mandarin short....Ppl just taking what they want out of it cost this dude a Mandarin.....Wow...Ppl who do this make me sick....

tlasjr · 11-23-2012, 11:06 PM

For those who are finding no sign of them, the two Walmarts I saw them at had them in the main aisle no where near the toy section. I would recommend a full store circuit before declaring it a bust.

Thankx, but it is just some Moldimix (TM) and a drop of red Nail Polish

Yeah, probably was the Mandarin I was shorted, but I guess it's not too bad. I have a Mandarin from the MU two pack at least. but at least the salesperson was nice enough to let me fill it out with the peg warmers. In fact, it was probably the only way I'd bring myself to buy this version of Namor. There is something about buying an figure wearing a speedo that was just unsettling.

I was hoping for an Iron Monger though, so if anyone wants to do a trade or something, let me know.

salsa4datass · 11-24-2012, 12:43 PM

no pic but found a collusus repaint yesterday and i must say it looks a lot better.

also, for those 8 packs. those were random since everyone seems to think they know how they were set up. my package was the one with the whiplash and war machine. but instead of the mandarin, it had a thor. so i made it like the pic. no biggy since the girl who worked there let me do it. maybe i should've added that part for the judgers on here...

Iceman · 11-24-2012, 08:26 PM

Went across the border today to get some deals. Sad there were no 8-packs at Walmart and I missed the Prof. X wave. Found Beta Ray Bill, Psylocke, Silver Surfer, and Ultimate Spidey on the pegs. Picked up Spidey since I didn't have the normal version and Bill for a spare. But then I spotted a freshly opened MU case the stockers were getting ready to put up. Complete wave 19 so I grabbed the Scarlet Witch. Good enough for me and I got Skyrim cheap.

That's a good score. Only way MU figures were gonna end up in there. I'm sure a fair amount of those packs got picked apart by people wanted one or two of the figures.

Back in the day I got 20th Anniversary Optimus Prime for $20 because it wouldn't scan and they didn't know the price. The only tag on the shelf was for the stuff next to it and the guy figured it was probably close enough.

This needs a pic.

Red Dragon · 11-24-2012, 11:35 PM

I did happen to score one with the Mandarin on it. Tried to remove the pack from the cardboard packaging and the top of the cards were glued to the cardboard. The bottom of the single packs had a Not for Resale sticker on them. I planned on donating the extras I did not need.

scarbs · 11-25-2012, 12:42 AM

Went back today found what was left of th Avengers pack and Star Wars. Didnt see a thing Thursday night. Picked up one with Whiplash and Rhodes Warmachine.Not much to choses from. Still no restock on the regular action figures.
