My parents used to watch several detective shows when I was a kid. Columbo, Mannix, Murder She Wrote, Magnum PI, Dragnet, Kojak, Adam 12, Get Smart, etc.

I need one or two more Guardsmen…hopefully I snag a couple at retail.

Nah, used that one before. Might have to distract her with some flip flops.

I seriously need to drop a line between Joes, Black Series and Legends (not happening). I even recently went down the MOTU and Mcfarlane path. Target has been doing a number on my bank account this month, but I’m glad they’re listening to the collecting community. I’ve got some decisions to make though.

Well, they're in stock for $22. I like that Hasbro is sticking with that army builder price point; kudos Hasbro. See? I give y'all props when it's due.

In other breaking news: The universe responds to my frowny face and delivers with a HasbroPulse notification that my 2 Maestros are on 'dey way. HIP, HIP...

In other, late breaking developments: Robutt Kingdom has delivered both my Quasar and my Nova from Hong Kong...oh, my stars and garters!! HIP, HIP, HIP...

EDIT: Actually, the entire Ursa Major wave is $22.99. Nice Hasbro, especially considering the wave features three unique (for now) molds and stellar paint apps.

Which shipping option did you pick and how long did it take? I'm thinking about going down the import road lol.

Sure, come on in, the water's fine....

Uhhh, except for the fact that the ship for the two was $52 - I'm kinda a fan - and I ordered on April 17th - pretty much immediately.

Hope that helps some...

[Nutimus Prime]

That's about what I figured.

The cosmic side of Marvel is one of my favorites and no Walgreens near me has had any Legends for 2 months. Starting to get antsy lol.

I never saw the crazy Walgreens clearance people have been posting on the Legends subreddit.

Pulse won’t let me order another since I already ordered one. So much for army building. I snagged one from Target just now at $19.99 to get that free shipping with Hondo. I’ll find another.

Post some pictures of those Walgreens figs!

Galactus and herald stretch goals, Hasbro. I'm ready.

Oh, I'm not new to the party, so I know exactly what you are referring to. To add insult to insult, the correct color scheme is clearly depicted on the box art, smh. I passed on the haslab sentinel to what looks like my increasing regret, so if this is a galactus, I'm likely going to be all over it. Wallet is stretching very thin in this convention season.

Thanks to Thor Laserpunch, I now have a much more decent squad of HFC Mercs. Much appreciated bro!

What wave are the Guardsmen in? I haven't seen that one in stores. The MCU wave is finally hitting us while the Shang-Chi one continues to collect dust.

Ironman Wave, Bear from the Revenant BAF

The Shang Chi wave is clearances around me and still peg warming. Disney wave has dried up, Bad Guy wave hitting fully across all retail. The Ironman wave will start creeping in here soon.

No worries.

Selling down my Marvel collection if anyone is looking for anything, my door is always open.

Father Dowling didn’t need a swanky sports car or a sexy bald head or a spinoff series with Abe Vigoda because he has Catholic powers, which I imagine is something like the power cosmic. Feel free to shoehorn in some pedophilia jokes.

I always hated Dragnet because Joe Friday is the biggest square ever and the cases never have any gravitas—like someone defrauded an old lady for $40 or stole some milk off the stoop or whatever. The 1987 Aykroyd/Hanks film will forever live in glory though.

I have noticed over the years that collecting, reasoning, and impulse control do not mix well. But at least you pronounce “robutt” correctly

No trouble at all, my good man. Your donation is helping to keep an impoverished child high. Enjoy!

Apply for a new credit line, then when the introductory APR goes away, open another line of credit and transfer the balance over. Repeat ad infinitum, and if you have done everything right, you should be well overextended when you one day die, thereby making all your debt someone else’s problem. Carpe them diems.

Meh, I only mentioned Barnaby because I liked his name as a kid. The show rated about as highly as Quincy as far as my level of interest was concerned. And Tom Bosley was dead to me after Happy Days ended, but as far as all those other shows mentioned goes...all that stuff was milksop suburbanite hot garbage...

Growing up, my household had an appreciation for the grittier crime dramas like Hill Street and, my personal syndicated pleasure, Baretta. Only real men, and real 'private dicks' can rock a sidekick Cockatoo while bustin' crime in the mean streets. Despite Sammy Davis Jr.'s typical Vegas-style leanings, even the theme song was on point:

Sammy dug deep on that one! Quiet as kept; it may have even been allegorical of how he got that jacked up glass eye...

No impulse involved there, just straight poor decision making. I've decided what's the point in saving money now that my vote soon won't count and I'll no longer reside in a democracy. I may as well get the things I want while I can because in the near future a small army of septuagenarian kleptocrats will rule with an iron fist taking everyone's money and funneling it to themselves, while throwing us all in labor camps and feeding us our dead-parents like so much Soylent Green.

You win. You just might be the MOST offensive here.

[Thor Laserpunch]

+25 style points for Sammy reference and +5 for recognizing we’re in the endgame. Start buying all your post-apocalypse supplies now before it all goes mammaliaz up.

Lol I knew you would!

Honestly, if you aren't walking around nowadays with a generalized baseline of offense, you aren't doing life right.

You've got to branch out beyond race/culture, sexual identity, and misogyny, buddy. I know you can do it, reach for the stars!

Wow I just watched the last and latest episode of Loki. I though the previous episode was a doozy but damn. That was a great introduction and handling of a certain character by the way. Really inspired. What a turn around for me that the show that I was least excited for ended up being my favorite.

Just watched the finale and Black Widow back to back and was not disappointed with either. That was a hell of an intro.

I concur. If there was ever a time to shock normies out of their stupor, it’d be right about now.

[Thor Laserpunch]

For you guys who were inquiring about the Marvel jonks I’m selling off, here’s the list.

[Dr Kain]

I thought the finale to Loki sucked. There was no actual ending, no cliffhanger, it just stops. Like if ESB's started to roll right as Darth Vader says, "Obiwan never told you about your father." "He told me you killed him." "No, I..." <credits>.

The final episode should have been at least an hour long. Hell, The Falcon and The Winter Soldier had like 6 subplots going on in the finale and still managed to conclude them all while Loki had two plots and couldn't even being an end to one of them. What a crock of shit.

Now that's not to say I hated the show, as I didn't. I enjoyed it for the most part thanks to the chemistry between Hiddleston and Wilson, but it was poorly executed.
