The strong, confident, independent woman she's been characterized as for years?

Saw a review of the new retro Spidey on youtube and that new body mold is awesome IMO... nice torso articulation and not too skinny looking like Pizza Spidey. I hope we get a Black Spidey and classic Daredevil in that new body mold too.

I dont mean to sound a little paranoid or starting conspiracy theories about Walmart workers that creep around the boys toys aisle but its pretty messed up that 10-15 minutes after i was in the movies and games area and went back to the action figure aisle, the Marvel Legends Dark Beast figures just vanished right away while thats all thats left are Morph, Wild Child, and Wolverine.

I swear to god that the same exact thing happened with the Caliban wave.

Dont mean to be a bit paranoid about Walmart workers that creep around the corners of the boys toys action figure aisle but its pretty wild where I leave the toy aisle to check out movies and games and then come back and bam/poof the action figures whether its Star Wars or Marvel Legends certain figures get picked up in a flash.

guess I should be grateful that I have Wolverine, Jean Grey and Wild Child to start out with.

Even Beast from the Caliban wave, hes like not cheap now on online stores

Shoulda snagged Dark Beast when you had the chance. If I'm ever in the store and see something I may want, it goes right in the cart. By the time I've finished shopping I've worked out if I can afford it/ if I really want it.

I wouldn’t blame Walmart workers. Most of the ones I’ve ever spoken to have no clue about collectibles. I did watch a shopper swoop in and try to buy 8 80th Captain America’s out from under me once. Professional EBay scalpers are real, and treat that as a full time job.

What's the point of an ignore list if you can still see the ignored messages when people quote it?

I have no doubt that we are going to get a new Symbiote Spidey, a new classic 2099, and probably 2-3 repaints of a classic Spidey in that mold. Plus, since the spider webs are not sculpted, they're bound to use that body for other characters too.

Personally, I would love it of Hasbro did that Spidey in a deluxe package as a Romita Sr style with the stand they recently gave to Black Widow along with a ton of hands, heads, and web accessories.

Gods i wish online retailers Would stock the damn sugarman wave. Im sick of fiNding jack-effin -shit at retail then comin’ home and seeing that every etailer has it perpetual gotdamned preorder and keeps moving the instock Date to whatever the current month is.

No conspiracy there...I hate to break it to you, but if you snooze...you lose. Simple rules of the game.

This. A couple of weeks ago I saw 2 Red Hulks vanish off the shelf during my brief time in the toy aisle, and last week, a Yellow LC Ranger (Trini) disappeared as I was checking the Hot Wheels for my son. On May 4th, the larger Baby Yodas I saw on launch day never even made it to the shelf as once people figured out what was inside the boxes on the Walmart pallet, they simply helped themselves to it. Same with BS Dooku. If I track something down, it goes into my hands or shopping cart until it's either purchased or I have a change of heart. I leave nothing to chance, especially if it's something I'm actively hunting for.

At last check they only had weapon x listed. And epicfailmart.com is an utter waste.

Thor Laserpunch · 06-06-2020, 09:27 AM

I think they made a whole New Hammer. It is very Large in comparison to any of Thors Hammers and has different detailing on Hammer and Handle

Thanks robb. Dorkside just went live with instock orders so i nabbed a set AND a loose xman. Hopefully they get here this week.

usernamedustin · 06-06-2020, 11:27 AM

I've got a boxed Dark Beast and a loose Jean Grey. I got an extra Beast because I panicked and thought Target might cancel my order. The Jean is just cause I needed the Sugar Man parts. I am holding on to Beast for future trade fodder for one of the other things I want that are now a pain in the ass to get.

Shelf rearranging. It's weird leaving space for figures that aren't coming out for like 4 or 5 months. Once I get the Strong Guy Wave, I am so close to having full 90's teams. I just need Hasbro to do Feral and the ladies from Excalibur. Can we just get a Feral and Firestar 2-pack already?

It's my proto-phoenix. Gray Black Widow head is a great sculpt and Lady Deadpool is an easy base body. I just popped the head on for now, but I still need to paint the body and add the spikes.

It was the same for me back in the late 90's when I was collecting Star Wars figures. This one woman would show up and keep grabbing all the Slave Leia's when she first came out. It was really annoying. I found her at a Toy Show and she was selling them at marked up prices.
