Speaking of games, anyone play this, or anything else, on PC? I'd jump on DTL but PC is my main platform.

Grail obtained again...Someone special to me need to money, so I had to sell some of my collection, and this was one item I sold awhile back...Now, good to have it back in my hands once again, in this case, It does feel sweeter the second time around, definitely more expensive, but worth it!


Note: Spider-Man wave and Captain Marvel wave hitting my area, but everytime I have seen one figure from each of the waves, I guess the wave is more popular among collectors than I thought. Still looking for that damn Mystique! Going to check Walgreens again!

You ever pulled the trigger in am EBay auction only to realize you bought a figure missing an accessory because you couldn’t read? Well, that was me today.

One of my greatest losses with collecting came from not picking this set up during the Toysrus closing. I found one that had been meticulously stashed on the puzzle/board game aisle, which was the only section of the store not ravaged by frenzied shoppers. When I scanned the box it rang-up like 12 dollars or something. Since I already had bought a set as soon as it came out, I carefully returned it back to its hiding place and told myself I'd give the collector a sporting chance to reclaim it, but if it was still there the next time I visited I'd pounce on it. Of course, the next time I went it was gone. Thinking back, I truly hope I helped out a fellow collector obtain a grail of theirs, instead of a scalper who probably just flipped it on Ebay.

Another major collecting loss of mine came during Hasbro's Marvel Legends re-emergence, and I was on hiatus and focused primarily on the 3.75 Marvel Universe line. Passed on a Walmart-clearanced Jean Grey from the Rocket Raccoon wave. That wound is still fresh to this day...

As somebody who passed on that set because it was before I was collecting Marvel Legends, I literally facepalmed while reading.

^ ^ I passed on that MOC Jean Grey for $40 at a toy show a week or two before the Juggernaut wave was announced. If I had known about that wave earlier I would have bought Jean no question since I already had the Hit Monkey Archangel. But I have no doubt Hasbro will re-release her at some point... if they can re-release Archangel and Juggernaut and classic Magneto... they can re-release anyone.

But at the same time I am glad I passed on a bunch of stuff too. I remember standing in TRU for what seemed like forever deciding whether or not to buy those Return of Marvel Legends 2 packs from 2010 of Deadpool & Warpath, Hulk and Valkyrie and Winter Soldier and Black Widow and all the variants. Looking at those figures now they are all so ugly looking IMO... so glad I passed on them all.

And I just saw that Dark Phoenix 2 pack for $100+ today at a local shop... which is crazy IMO since the only thing I would want from it is the normal hair Jean Grey headsculpt. But as MIB display piece... it is really nice. I never saw it at retail, but I probably wouldn't have bought it for 40 bucks anyway if I did.

IMO you should give Ghost Recon Wildlands a try.

Yep! More than once, Arker! Sometimes you just pull the trigger to fast... Lol!

Note: One of my all time regrets is not picking up the Deadpool/Warpath set when it first came out...I passed on it so many times, now my brother, till this day, relishes that he has the 2 pack and I don’t.

Note 2: Hasbro, please make another Warpath, pretty please with sugar on top!

I think the frenzy for the already released Jim Lee X-characters will only go up once those teams get closer to being completed and there are still reveals left for this season. Characters like Cable, Bishop, Archangel, etc, the demand will only increase. Classic X-Force is only 3 members away from being completed. X-Factor is not so close, but could move closer in a hurry. Now's the time to grab any of those characters if you were waiting.

I picked up an extra Bishop for cheap just because of what happened with Rogue since her release. Hopefully he will be good trade bait in a few years.

Looking for a Pizza Spidey Head. Any Help would be Greatly Appreciated.

No, but I have had a buyer threaten to kill me because he bought the slipcase to DareDevil Season 1 for $20 and thought it was the entire season despite the picture showing only the slipcase, the auction title saying it was the slipcase, and the description stated it was only the slipcase. Even when I messaged him that I mailed out his slipcase, he didn't actually question it.

Which head? The regular one or the partial mask one?

Would the Ben Reily Spidey head work for you since they are both the same head? Just wondering since I do have an extra one as one of my Ben's is displayed as Spider-Carnage.

Seems like an odd thing to try and sell.

I don’t want to hassle the guy over a piece of plastic. I might have an extra Dreadknight up for trade next week, I went ahead and grabbed a complete one for a reasonable price.

Sure that should work. Dose that head fit on the Pizza Spidey?

Freakin Finally...Yo, Arkers, check the Walgreens site if you don’t have a Mystique...

Note: The Walgreens site said that Mystique was at 3 different Walgreens, I went to those three this morning, nada!...I went to the Walgreens that was not on the list that had the inventory, found 3, took 2...SMH!
