the 2 targets by me rarely restock one walmart doesnt even stock MU, the tru stocks fairly regular but its older stuff, but one walmart stock really regular (where i got the x-men and the unhumans packs)

[quinten182]

That is the greatest shelf of MU I have seen in over a year.. you are so lucky sir.

WM's here still just pegwarming old shit.. ugh. Where you at?

[xxgrendelxx]

I work at Target and check the cshelves every day - it's pathetic. We get about one or two cases per month (! yeah!) if even. There are about seven other Targets and six Walmarts (several TRUs and four K-Marts as well) within reasonable distance of me and they don't carry much either.
There are waves that I see on ebay that have never even made it to the stores by me.

Judging from the picture I'd say $15.96...

I love the avengers 3 pack Thor (with first app iron man and green hulk)--even more so than the showdown version.

hey guys what type of rope/wire is good to hang figures with to make em look like they are flying?

[bmorr]

i used to hang my stuff with either dental floss or fishing line.

I like really thin fishing line, you can barely see it.

One or two cases a month would actually be an improvement in my area.

Hahaha, 1. thanks. 2. Outdoor hooks are what I use, but I don't think you'll need them. I use them to screw onto the cieling, they look like this:



The hook then suspends the fishing wire which I tie a knot at the end and just loop it around the figure and hang from the hook. Nothing goes on the figures or vehicles, you can just place the fishing line under their arms or wherever you'de like. Some peeps have different cieling or in your case, metal shelving.

I take it the Bag-Head Spider-Man is pretty much near impossible to find now? It's too bad I never saw any new waves at TRU latley, I think that's where I usually saw the variants at.

[trebleshot]

Pretty much. I've never seen him myself and I think at this point most retail outlets around are 1-2 waves past his wave (assuming they're getting any at all).

My only hope for now is a case revision some time in the future.

[quinten182]

Speaking of variants.. I still to this day hate myself for not buying all 10+ Dr Strange clear variants when I seen them. I was just so mad that all my stores were loaded with clear variants and not one normal colored Strange. For a while the regular Strange was jacked up in price because all first cases were stacked with clear ones! I WANNA GO BACK AND BUY THEM ALL!

same here man. I traded it to an arker for the regular.....boy how wrong I was.

[MeLikeJinx]

^ I think that was before everybody figured out the pattern though. Before MU used to release the regs first... then the variants later... like with the Havok, Archangel, Vision and Warpath variants. But then they suddenly changed it up with releasing all the variants first and then flooding the market with regs later. I remember when people were'nt sure about which Havok and Archangel would end up being more rare and both versions were going for about the same price... MU is weird. LOL.

I also somehow made all my Figmas stand up on there own in their display case... so now I have 5 Figma stands I can basically use as MU flight stands for my X-men setup... pretty excited about that. LOL. My MU Rogue is finally gonna be able to fly now. LOL.

[quinten182]

My X-Men Sentinel battle shelf is getting too cluttered..

Though my favorite part is still definitely Deadpool (stuck behind Jubilee in this pic) sticking the downed Sentinel in the stomach with his tiny dagger.. haha

[MeLikeJinx]

^ OMG. That looks like so much fun... so jealous. LOL. I wish I could do that, but I have no Sentinels... and am kinda a neat freak even at 3.75" scale. LOL. My X-men shelf is gonna be all nice and clean heroic poses... like an album cover.

[Ninjinister]

Hit three stores today. No new MU singles - did find the WCA pack though.
