Well here's a few more for your collection!

Magnifico! You really love your Xmen, Mutantkind

So here's an awkward thing; we all like UKMU here, but he said some time ago he'd sent my stuff, yet still it's not here. I was on MUCC and a fella on there is in the same boat -

At what point do we agree this is not on? His mailbox is still full so you can't even get in touch with him on here.

Universe · 09-25-2015, 11:20 AM

I'm sure UKMU will come through. He did mention he was stacked with work from taking his holiday, he might be just swamped. I hope everything is okay.

New Star Wars figures. I'm going to get Finn so that the head can go to Black Panther and the body can go to Rhodey, while the Han coat can go to making an IM3 Mandarin.

I don't know, Amazon has some pretty good prices depending on the figure. I got Ares for $6.99+free shipping because of "damaged packaging." And by damaged packaging, it meant slightly bent. Oddly, I've gotten 2 big guys for 6-7 bucks, whilst the regular sized guys go for 7-10 bucks. They don't lose any of my packages, oddly enough, but I'm thanking those who deliver my mail for that blessing.

I've been collecting since very late 2013, and due to not having a job at the moment(jobs are hard to find at 17, as my older brother found out the hard way), my collection is decently sized, but not nearly as big as yours. I'll post pics later.

That's a great idea; thanks for sharing!

Pilkster · 09-25-2015, 01:29 PM

I think that head will work really well on Black Panther. KALACTUS - WOW!!! amazing collection. Got to be in the top 4 I've seen on here.
Mutantkind.. I can't get enough of your pics. They are amazing and I'm practicing my lighting using your technique so thank you for the tips.

Actually, the Fin head is a fantastic T'Challa.

As for Ukmu, I'm sure he'll follow through. He's been on a lot of the MU threads for a long time and this whole thing is just nothing but him not having a hard time trying to find time to mail this stuff. I don't think he would tarnish his good reputation after he's been here for so long.

The custom Antman looks good; what did you use for his mini version?

deathofthelines · 09-25-2015, 05:29 PM

Yes. My legends aou hulkbuster has finally arrived. I haven't opened it yet but it feels like you could smash someone's head in with it. Jeez. I guess all the articulation cuts in the mi line won't into him alone.

Universe · 09-25-2015, 05:51 PM

Been tempted to buy the wave for AoU Hulkbuster, but I'm not a legends collector. Only legends I have is the Toybiz Carnage MOC (because I bought it in haste; thinking it was the 3.75 version, doh!) and the Antman wave for scaling characters and the baf Ultron. It's like Hasbro puts a shiny new apple waiting for you when your starving more waves of MI.

If I can find it on eBay complete for a reasonable price; I would bite. More interested in a Dormammu at the moment.

deathofthelines · 09-25-2015, 06:10 PM

I don't usually go legends but I guess it's like you said mi is drying up and provided I don't go full on into it like I did marvel u I should be OK. It was 35+ shipping so not to terrible on the wallet

Universe · 09-25-2015, 06:23 PM

Wow that is a good price; nice score!
Hey guys; the new Revoltech Movie Ultron is up for preorder on HLJ; it's priced $40 before shipping.

deathofthelines · 09-25-2015, 06:44 PM

We're gonna need a bigger hulk.

kylactus · 09-25-2015, 07:00 PM

Speaking of deals.... Went to a flea market, found a new booth... All toys 5 bucks!
Not a bad haul for 70bucks.

All collection pics

Wolverine2281's collection

Sub links at the top for pics of my MU and MI collection.
Room pics- currently outdated. Cleaned it up for these pics awhile back. Currently about 30 boxes sitting where the empty space is now

deathofthelines · 09-25-2015, 07:34 PM

Some of these pics remind me of the pics of tru back in the 70s and 80ss.

wolverine2281 · 09-25-2015, 07:42 PM

I'd love to see pics of TRU in the 70's

I've actually been thinking of getting that hulkbuster to replace my bootleg one. the bigger the hulkbuster the better

I just wish they gave him metallic paint though like the marvel select hulkbuster.

kylactus · 09-25-2015, 07:55 PM
