I dont say this often, but credit is due where credit is due....WELL DONE HASBRO!!!

It may not seem a big deal but here in the UK finding figures is a rarity to say the least.

Ha love how you're using the term grocery store, which ahem grocery store did you find him in? I'm in West Yorkshire and they aren't in my local ASDA, Tesco or Sainsburys??

[ukmu]

Sainsbury's.... I say grocery store as it is small town shop and not very SUPER. So super market doesnt seem fit. The Toys R Us in Birstall might have them? We were gonna go check there Friday for some Avengers: Age of Ultron Lego. My son has saved an amazing £32 which is a record for him, he couldn't save two pennies if i offered him four!

I too am in West Yorkshire, they are out there.

Went to try this morning and they had an marvel u omega red. No idea if he was a return a hidden stock gem or what I go to the check out counter oppps left my wallet in the car. I literally ran to the car and back under a minute go to the register and see not only is the lane now closed but the damn omega red is stolen out of his package with no one in site but another register girl ringing up some older women. Ugh.

Dude that suuucks. I'm planning to order him off Amazon here soon. Needs me someone to go toe to toe with my Wolverine and Omega Red was one of my favorite villains when I was little.

Same here. I really wish I could find the buttcrack that took him so I can beat his ass and add omega to my collection. Sadly I went amazon and paid 35 for a figure that would have been 12.99+ tax Side note I really have to proof read before I post frekking autocorrect keeps turning tru to try.

When I first moved here it blew me away...like 20%of the words were different here..like biscuit mentioned aboved. I do say toe-mah-toe. Even DERBY is pronounced DARBY, but yah, Worcester rhymes with rooster, the RCE in the middle are silent like Leicester the ICE in the middle are silent. Things are just VERY old here. Most of these names are places and have gone by that name since Roman occupation of the island. Some even go back to when the Vikings lived here. Anyway, some places like Cheddar you know and some like Derby (darby) Lesiceter (lester) are different for whatever reason..... got me. By the way an English muffin is a muffin, a muffin is a bun, a bun is a bap and so on and so on. About 20% across the board. Moving on....crumpets are awesome! And yes, I now put milk in my tea.

The sound is Worcester is the same as in good, and just remember we invented your language, and you chose to give things the wrong names. To keep it on topic, it would be like Stan Lee giving us the Avengers, and us swapping about the names, so we had Steve Rogers otherwise known as Thor running the group

and your words are just a collection of mostly mispronounced Anglo, Celtic, Roman and Saxon phrases so at the end of the day none of us don't talk gooder than any other.

Purple man is an easy one, pretty much any male head painted purple on a suit, but I'm trying to get some of those new Widow bodies on EBay because they're cheaper so I can update Abigail Brand of Sword have body ready for Melinda May

[kylactus]

1.anything Age of Apocalypse
2.first appearance Sabertooth
3.Calaban
4. first appearance Cable
5. Sauron
6. Banshee
7. molecule man
8. porcupine
9. Paste pot Pete
10. mimic (original look)

[ukmu]

Working on Sharon Carter. Widow movie body, have left over white hands from Aurora when I made Quake. I had K dud opus cast me some white boots for the Widow movie buck and she has a Sue Storm head. Same as Maria Hill and with white hands and feet, that way just have to paint a bit white above them and it should look pretty legit. No rub that way. Trying to finish up the S.H.I.E.L.D. army before I move on to finish the next.

[ukmu]

Dubious not dud opus.... I really hate the spell check predictive text, I always just send/post but I should read them first.....

[UrsaMagnus]

With all the recent talk of S.W.O.R.D. I've been considering an Abigail Brand. I have a G.I. Joe Cover Girl head on one of the Rise of Cobra armored female bodies with Baroness glasses already as Cover Girl, but green paint on the hair and glasses would be an easy conversion to Abigail...

I'm undecided though, because I like this as-is. I've always treated Cover Girl as the Joe version of Black Widow.

I wouldn't soil her head, for Brand I used a cheap Padme head because she usually has her hair up. Cover girl is rarer than the 10 a penny Padmes

Ha i see, they do have them at TRU at Birstall, they did 2 weeks ago anyway as i called in driving past on my way back home to Halifax, unfortunately couldn't justify buying any that week as i had already spent quite a bit on figures. They were literally on one rack and only had one of each figure £11.99, good luck

[snake5289]

Ran into Big Lots earlier today and found the sleeveless Thor from TDW for $8. Gonna get one of those 5 poa AoU Thors and give him a cape.

It's a really solid figure. Good size and pretty rocking posability. Think I'll finally replace my Thor from the first movie. May see what the helmeted head looks like on the new one.

Thanks but got a call from the cashier chick at tru and the found out who stole the omega red so I was able to purchase it this afternoon and I also have a date later on tonight with the cashier chick. The theft was another employee they had caught him because he put it in his locker.

He steals from where he works and hides his loot where he works, what a nice thief.

This is the weirdest story I have ever heard...why didn't you just ask the cashier to hold it?

[snake5289]

That's employee of the month material right there.

I don't think Lionheart is doubting you he is just expressing shock that someone would do that. Apparently he was oblivious to the security cameras which are all over stores these days.
