In the greater Kansas City metro area those types of stores have not restocked Marvel Universe figures in quite a while. I got the Beta Ray Bill / Kraven wave and the Scarlet Witch / Kang wave from BigBadToyStore.com and that was only possible due to the revision case that included both waves.

I'm not prepared to pay the inflated online prices for the newer waves, especially since I don't want certain figures. I worry about my ability to keep up with this hobby.

It's not much better up in the STL area. The shipments should be close though. It could be any week now. Most of them are in the process and prep for inventory right now, so the system ordering might be screwy. (Bleeding new transformers and other figures, low marvel and others, soon that'll be swapped. Then back to on normal shipment timings.)

Hey guys, new member here. I'm from Australia and MUs are few and far between here unless it's from the Avengers or Spider-Man lines.

I guess the one positive is that we got the Anti-Venom packs. I here you guys didn't get them. The sets ok but only for AV. Both spidey and goblin have had better figures.

StarWarsPaul · 01-12-2013, 12:22 PM

Better pics when I can break out the good camera.

She goes great with my IM2 Black Widow.

Symbiote · 01-12-2013, 01:07 PM

Mine broke clean at the shoulder on her left side. I was told on here that I could get a small screw to fix, I don't have alot of extra time though and haven't had a chance to try yet. Where did yours break at? Let me know what you do when you fix yours...I never had this problem with MU before either, I think her paint app was still wet when they packaged her....

They are from the spider-man line. The one before the movie release. Same line that has scorpion and rhino.

Its the same red color as the long haired version. They were originally going to pack in the 3 hairstyles and the. Decided they would just do a running change blond variant, scraping the short red.

As we all know, to this day the blond was never released and only a few production samples have made their way to the secondary market.

The blond one is next on my list, but the last one on eBay was quite pricey. And I can't believe the White T Cage went for over a grand!

bmorr · 01-12-2013, 04:06 PM

the price blows, but your paying for the rarity.

Ninjinister · 01-12-2013, 04:11 PM

So jealous of you right now Paul.

But you helped me get my first Widow ever so I won't complain too much :P

Agreed. Problem is if I started an account to save to be able to buy it, it'll never come up for sale and I'll find something else to spend the cash on and then once I do, one will come up, lol.

it broke off at the exact same point but on right side on mine(i think it was me who mentioned using a screw but i was saying that would work for figures that break off their neck ball joint).
regarding the fix?i have a spare GI-JOE and Black widow body,i was thinking of switching some parts onto one of those,whichever one works best.
