Thanks @Maverickoz3!

Just got these 3 Iron Man Avengers for 6$ on clearance at my LCS in Paris.

Of course, for POA issues I would have prefered some IM2 deep diver or stealth ops (they're so static I swear they're the last Avengers Movie figs I'll buy), but they'll do the trick as Ultron Drones!

Thanks @ukmu, um don't tell anybody but I actually left seven of soldiers out they wouldn't fit on the shelf lol
Now I'm setting my sights on Hydra soldiers, come on Hasbro either rerelease the ones with the yellow web gear from Cap First Avenger line or put out a new version!

Yeah it always floors me when I see that someone has a massive amount of army builders of a character I have 0 of.

Ah yes, the black friday figures. Everyone had their ridiculous demands for trades or cash offers for the Mandarins, Dynamos and the like. Just a reminder that the only "scalpers" are fellow collectors.

Thanks What're you using for ninja there?

[samsson37]

Those look to be the red ninja from gi Joe fame.

[BEAM]

Yup, Red Ninjas. Perfect for the Hand. Just ignore the Arashikage symbol.

[samsson37]

Has anyone on here used the horrible wolverine ninjas and done the same set up ? Cause there like $4 at the stores arnd here LOL

[BEAM]

Instant Hand Ninjas if you can win the auction.

The GI Joe Retaliation Wave 1 Red Ninjas might be better for the Hand than the 25th ones. The Ret Red Ninjas don't have the Cobra sigil.

i disagee on the scalpers comment,thanks to some fellow collectors here and in other groups i got figs/sets at cost.those guys im inclined to do a deal for,if they are interested in anything i have for sale.when deals like sentinels for $20 or Black friday deals happen all it does for me is show me who is good to deal with and who is not.

I don't disagree with you there, I've had access to a fair few good deals due to fellow collectors and at the same time, other collectors have demanded astronomical prices for their wares. I just laugh when people blame the "scalpers" for certain prices and then ask for the same price when selling figures off.

[Iceman]

If I sell older stuff with a higher value I always try to come in below whatever the current market price is and give someone a good deal. If it's currently at retail I think cost + shipping is the way to go. Maybe add a dollar or something for you time.

i understand in some cases why people need to sell above retail,its a combination of things really.and i have shelled out big for certain figures>>>giantman,old man logan,solid vision,deadpool taco set.so will i sell those at retail?i dont think so.

no ones gonna hold that against you if you have rarities from the toybiz legends/FF/Hulk/Spiderman lines or certain BAF's
i held on to a couple of toybiz legends/hulks,because there is a market for them.this whole business of picking up the latest legends at $20 and selling for $40 is not right,likewise with the latest MU.

So I've got a chance to go to toy fair this year, and I'm trying to think of what to say to the Hasbro guys if I get a chance.

Should I just thank them because I loved MU and move on?

Should I berate them for their case ratios (3 IM to 1 Wasp??? I also believe Thor and im2 killed the 4 inch scale because of their inept case pack outs.)

Should I point them to the ninja turtles aisle as an example of what could be done (core characters always available but with a wide variety of supporting characters, vehicles, play sets, mini play sets, etc.)?

Should I try to convince them they can cater to kids and collectors at the same time (maybe 15 points of articulation, generic body styles with minimal new tooling for figs, but also a wider character selection.)?

Should I yell at them for not letting people know what figures are in each case?-(I believe variants do more to hurt collectors and help secondary markets, which Hasbro doesn't get a piece of--just tell people what toys you are selling and let them buy them instead of the running change guessing game bs)
