Is this an exclusive somewhere or a regular release?

I went to 5 Walgreens today and not a single Mystique. There were tons of Namor (one store had 18 of him), some Human Torches, Invisible Womans, Medusas, Blizzards, DareDevils, that lady in red from the future, Magiks, Dazzlers, Phoenixes, Havoks, and Old Man Logans.

Two of the stores did have General Veers for Star Wars though, but since I only have enough for one, I had to pass on him since I'd rather get Mystique.

[tierneygreen]

Found Mystique this afternoon. South Nashville. Last one. Mostly good paint apps, but I'll want to touch up the skull belt on mine eventually.

My main priority now is finding her some proper firearms. Any recommendations on where to find 1:12 scale weapons at a decent price?

I got my mistique on Friday, they had about 4 and i had to dig to find a good one without bad paint. With that said, some dude on one of the ML trading groups I'm in on FB has 11 that he is trying to unload for scalper prices...

Most of the good casters are gone thanks to Hasbro threatening litigation against them. Casting Cave still has their site up, and there are still vendors on Ebay that sell weapons casts. Try looking up the sellers lisalome (where I get the majority of mine...) and marauder_inc.

You should also look into military toys featured at Walmart, Dollar General, and Big Lots. Often, they will have accessories that are laughably oversized, working better with Legends and 7 inch scale over the 3.75 inch figures featured in the box...and the best part is they will often cost ten dollars or less, and require just a tiny bit of paint to make them pop.

You can also check ebay for old figures that came with accessories...many of which can be picked up for cheap, such as old McFarlane and Toybiz figures.

Finally, there is the Little Armory series from overseas if you prefer your weapons to be real world tactical styles. They look fantastic, but a word of warning though, they are pricey, and are actually model kits that you have to put together and paint, so be prepared to stress out gluing tiny laser sights to the side of your weapons if that's your thing.

Awesome!! Looks like I have a new project. Thank you.

Thanks for the info TP.

No problem!

On a side note, while I don't have my Charles Hoverchair just yet, I did find something interesting messing around in the lab today that might be perfect for those of you looking to build Shadow King for your X-Men shelf.

I'm sure many of you have seen the images going around of the Shadow King kitbashed using the Monster Venom hands...which looks great but puts you in a position to have to buy two additional MV BAF arms just to pull it off, which gets pricey.

Well...I discovered today that you can also use the the set of monster hands that came with the Venom/Madness Marvel Select figure. The peg fits PERFECTLY inside the Kingpin's wrist ports, and stay put. Granted, you lose on the swivel articulation, but it still rotates and you make up for it by getting a set of hands that works on Wilson that you may not have been using on the Select in the first place, saving you a few bucks. You can easily touch them up some for something more permanent with a purple wash, or leave them as is. I think they actually work pretty good either way.



Can't wait to get my Hoverchair Chuck to see how it comes out as a completed package, but that's gonna be a while since I got so many preorders scheduled to hit my pile of loot in the next 2 months or so...

IMO toy scalpers are a dying breed though... they pretty much lived on TRU exclusives and 3.75" SW & MU IMO. No Amiibos anymore either. I think all they have left is Walgreens Exclusives... oh and Funko Pops, but I don't count those things. And I think overall there are less people collecting 6" scale figs now as compared to how many collected 3.75" figs a decade ago... especially Star Wars collectors. Plus, with the current Legends, if you hold on to something to long... there is a good possibility that Hasbro will just re-release it or make a better version.

Yep, that’s also hurts the resale market with comic and collectibles stores. Scalpers are going to have to prey on people’s impatience at this point.

I bet that guy on Facebook with 11 of them works for Walgreens.

[redfox]

Went out to my local few Walgreen's today looking for Mystique. No dice. The closest thing to new figs there were Medusa and Human Torch. Guess I'll have to venture further out before the Marvel Legends sale ends.

[Archangel]

Today’s haul. I’ll have Red Hulk’s cheap arm this week, then I’ll have to dig in. I picked up Punisher to get Mystique her weapon of choice...

I guess now I’ll be on the look out for Star Force Captain Marvel.

I have like 3 of those Sniper Rifles in my extras drawer.

He removed the post after all the backlash. He had some other scalper come to his defence, was pretty funny overall.

That’s gonna differ depending who you talk to. I am waiting for Strong Guy, Sunspot, Rictor, and a few others. But Hasbro hasn’t really let me down yet!

The BaF Space Venom hands work too. They need to be painted, but Space Venom parts are cheaper than Monster Venom parts.

I'm planning on using whatever hands I can get. I know I'm getting 2 Skullbusters from the X-Men wave, he comes with an arm and hand. They look like they'll work too. I plan on trying to paint the hands to match the color of the Shadow King face. I just need to track down another Kingpin who seems pricey at the moment. So we'll see if I end up doing this. Anyone have a good lead on a Kingpin?
