I'm not sure that's possible, but I bet it would be a fun read.

If you don't need a missile you can get scorpion from HappyEveryDaySales for approx $11.00. Here's the link:

Tempting but even if I didn't display him with it, it would still gnaw at me just knowing it was missing.

Well at least I know it's a reasonable offer, I was worried there was too much of a price difference, and I'd come off as an ass hole for even putting it out there.

MCDrank · 01-15-2013, 09:03 PM

Which Galactus you have? The Ultimate Alliance variant or the regular?

Ninjinister · 01-15-2013, 11:38 PM

I've been looking for a regular MU Galactus myself. I have the Ultimate Alliance version (which I wouldn't part for for anything lol) but I've been wanting the original for my Marvel vs. Capcom collection. One o' my mates was supposed to pick one up from a Ross in Cali for $22 but he said they were gone when he went. The Rosses and other such outlets never have MU around here when I go.

T J Bang · 01-16-2013, 05:06 AM

I was a huge Legends collector untill they switched to Hasbro and then gave all the figures away keeping only Giant Man (who is perfect for MU) and Galactus (who was missing an arm for years untill last week-finally).

well, ebay has alot of them, but they are kinda pricey.

Deadops · 01-16-2013, 01:26 PM

I know but the only ones I seem to find MOC are either within price range and cost too much shipping or are within price range and have like 22 bids

Oh well thanks for answering me anyways

bmorr · 01-16-2013, 02:05 PM

I was dang lucky to find im at retail ages ago. But keep a lookout on peoples BST.

Deadops · 01-16-2013, 03:37 PM

Thanks

kylactus · 01-16-2013, 06:58 PM

Well actually $20-25 with shipping might seem like a lot, but when you consider the figure cost about $9-10 at retail and shipping inside the States is hardly ever under $7 (for me at least), they're only making between $3-8 before eBay/PP fees.

Don't get me wrong, I still have a problem paying that price for a 3.75" figure too, but when you break it down it's actually not that bad IMHO, especially when you factor in the gas you would spend hunting for them in the wild (if it were still an active line).

That being said I'm actually surprised this figure has held its value. I was lucky enough to find 2 of these when they came out. I had one of them up as trading fodder in my BST for the longest time, and no one ever showed any interest in it at all. I'm not sure if I still have the extra or not though, I'd have to check.

He was flooding the pegs up here along with Shocker for along time. I picked up a lot of Shockers for people at the time but not as many seemed interested in Venom so I always passed. I should have picked up a few extra because they are all gone and replaced with ASM garbage now.

I've never seen him at retail. I paid $25 for mine like 2 years ago. Lurk ebay for awhile so you can get a good idea of how much he's going for.
