Cool, guess I'll get those 2 since Groot is different, but Starlord still looks the same somewhat just lighter paint apps?

White stripes on his suit instead of red like the previous releases. He matches Groot there, but neither match the previous releases. Same figure though overall, different paint apps.

HYPE!!!

I'm guessing 2 pack.

Universe · 03-30-2016, 03:08 PM

Starlord for the third time, sweet! I'll forgive them this time because UKMU is right, the color is good for shield agents.

En Sabah Nerd · 03-30-2016, 04:14 PM

Fun fact:
They only had the white stripes in Annihilation: Conquest which was before they started the Guardians. Probably still gonna get the Groot and Rocket pack though but since I aim to get the individual Gamora her pack with Star-lord is an easy pass.

It's to drive sales.
Same with the fantastic 4 packs. Now if you want your team to match, you have to rebuy figures you already have.

Fine by me though tbh. That figure was perfect for customs anyway.

although comic pack Gamora + Star-Lord would technically be cheaper per figure than just single Gamora

They would be cheaper but I already have Star-Lord from the original team pack and I don't love the white stripe look enough to warrant having two Star-Lords in my collection. Maybe if the individual Gamora is tough to find I'll just get the two pack and find something to do with the extra Star-Lord but I don't imagine having too much trouble with finding her.

What up team?

Been lurking lately as 3.75 has been a slow year. Not to mention I Moved and have a kid on the way. Another reason I have been dormant is my entire MU collection is in boxes and nothing, but my SDCC and unopened figures are on display....

Good news I got the new legends for BOGO 50% off so I got them for under $10 each plus the MI were at 5 below so I got all this for closer to 2009 prices than 2016 prices so I press on

Universe · 03-30-2016, 09:16 PM

K Dub! Great to see you posting again, we missed you, friend. Congratulations with your baby on the way, that's great news! After my move, I'm in the same boat, a lot of my collection is still packed up and the room I have for my figures is about triple the size I was accustomed to, but slowly and surely getting more of my dios back up. In my head, I have so many things I want to try, but it's like working with a blank canvas, plus I get exhausted after work and ZONK out half of the time. Hoping to see your awesome Dios back up in action one day.

Great to see you again! Congrats on the baby on the way!

Can't wait for you to get a new dios up and running. Also, awesome hauls!

TheLongestDay · 03-31-2016, 12:37 AM

I just realised that new Starlord would make a great Cannonball custom based the awesome one Pilkster made a little while ago!

My canonball head will be popping up in vorts store soon.

Congratulations on the baby news dude! Great to see you back.

Pilkster · 03-31-2016, 01:13 AM

It's that time again! 3 customs for the price of 2.
$90 will get you 3 characters in your collection that you have been wanting for a long time. Or I will do 4 for $120.

PM me if you are interested

Sithlord1963 · 03-31-2016, 03:59 AM

Knowing how much Hasbro like to re-use parts (IIRC the new Starlord is the third use of the Ghost Rider Buck, the other one being Longshot), does anyone know if the new Civil War 3.75" Falcon uses existing parts or is it an all new sculpt?

Pilkster · 03-31-2016, 04:00 AM

I recently got these bad boys fom my good friend UrsaMagnus. Hes been generous enough to pick me the latest bits up, some amazon special offers and even let me get a few things sent to his house so that everything can be shipped at once. The Guy is a true gent and always have time to catch up and find out whats going on in his life. Thanks dude.

Pilkster · 03-31-2016, 04:04 AM

Pilkster · 03-31-2016, 04:07 AM

A quick and Simple Black Panther fix up

Dr Strange legs
Nova Belt
Black Widow gauntlets.

I know he looks bow legged as it was only a quick snap for our little band of merry men on facebook (You guys know who you are

) and the gold accesories look a little yellow in the pic due to the light.

Universe · 03-31-2016, 04:24 AM

If you had the right head that Humbug might make a decent Nighthawk (the Supreme Power one who is now in the 616).

Could we get a closer look at that Stane?

Thanks

My pleasure, sir. Always more than happy to help out. And I'm certainly getting some awesome in return, that's for sure!!
