1. don't come all up in the MCU movie thread trying to dictate the topic and make it about action figures.

2. i HEARD that one version was sent to online vendors and one was for retail stores. Don't know how much truth there is to it yet.



said no one else ever in the history of Bladedom :D

Side note...I have 47 Meters Down on my Netflix watchlist. What did you think about it?

HA..this is NOT a movie review thread.
*whispering again* I just saw it the other night because my wife wanted to see it and i thought it was DUMB. IMO.

I never got shark movies, just stay out of the water!

I ordered the wave off Big Bad, so I'll let you know what I get... unless I find them all in the wild.
Like I said the other day, I already found Lasher and Prowler at Walgreens for $12.99 each (with member card). If I keeping finding them, I'll cancel my pre-order. I feel like Spider-Man Waves are normally very easy to find.

But how else are you gonna get drunk and go skinny dipping with sexy co-eds?? :D

...in a pool

I wish our local Walgreens would bless us like that. The newest stuff I've found have been from the Vulture wave.

I just want to find a Mr. Fantastic in the wild before the sale ends. Anything else would be gravy, but just... gimme Reed on the cheap, universe!

poor poor Toys R Us...

even more stores getting the axe...

Not surprising, they are ultimately going under or the brand will be absorbed by the bank that holds the loan that kept them afloat back in September.

Thank you!

the figure we prolly don't need..
first appearance of blade...

the one i'm sure not many people would want..

I was advised to take it down, too, so...

Better this than the one where hes in a jacket and those 70's short shorts. It was the one outfit in marvel ultimate alliance i didnt need to unlock haha.

There a list of the additional stores closing?

Oh man- I would love that Blade figure! lolz- would definitely become my go-to display Blade!

Mutants would be pretty easy to introduce into the MCU- just do it in a Hulk movie and introduce Wolverine as the guy the Government is sending to hunt down a "Rampaging" Hulk...
Agent 1- "What's so special about this guy?"
Agent 2- "He's a Mutant"
Agent 1- "A what?"
Agent 2- "A Mutant, man... Don't you watch the news? They've been popping up like crazy ever since that first Alien Invasion.. So many of them that people are saying the Government needs to step in an do something..."

Ta-Da! Now I want an MCU Wolverine action figure (and agent 1 and 2 just for good measure) lolz

I enjoyed it for what it was. You just have to turn off your brain a bit, because sinking to that depth at that speed is more likely to kill you before the sharks ever could.

The script was crap, the ending somewhat abrupt, but one thing it did an honestly good job of was tension. The sharks themselves were actually done really well, as I had a hard time telling where the CG, practical effects, and stock footage were being blended.

Also...Mandy Moore in a swimsuit...

Probably no one would that Blade, not because of the dated costume, but because it's not the Blade most people know, love, and associate themselves with. That was when he was just a regular Joe Schmoe. No vampire powers, no daywalker mythos, no fancy gadgets. Those didn't come until after the movie launched and he was rebooted.

Well looks like these 2 are all I will be able to make use of for the TRU sale.
The register girl told me one guy had been earlier in the day Wednesday and bought all the other Deadpool figures they had. I at least will finish my Panther line now. So congrats if it was a fellow Arker in the KC area at the Noland rd TRU who got the DP figures.

It had to be done. ;)

Sad. This means terrible things for toys and collectors and the industry as no one right now is replacing them.

A physical presence is necessary imo for the toy industry to be healthy. The future of all these physical stores going under is bad as it takes away workers and work from less skilled people, those who cannot afford education and those who make bad life choices.

The only way I can EVER see a reverse in what is happening is if America starts building factories again and stop importing 99% of everything from China. I see those states pushing that minimum wage up and all that will happen is robots will replace those lower skilled workers or most of them will simply lose jobs. Fast food is essentially a couple of years away from that standard.

TRU represents the future of America's physical stores. I go to Sears and it is fantastic. It has great clothing choices and it will also die soon and no one will notice.

Less action figures on shelves and toys is bad all around for the biz and consumers. The fact is, more competition, equals lower prices for legends. Eventually sooner or later as someone said, $25 dollars for legends will become standard and that will be a very sad thing.

Without competition, Amazon will have almost no reason to lower prices.

Dang I better use my $60 TRU reward $ fast then...Waiting to see if they'll get the X-Men legends or the new PTOP of stuff first, keep forgetting to go to the store.

Yep. Blade didnt get his daywalker powers until he was bitten by Morbius in an issue shortly after the movie debuted. Before that, he was just a dude with a sword with the abilities of slowed aging and as well as being able to sense supernatural creatures and monsters. He also had an immunity to becoming a vampire, a trait he picked up from when Deacon Frost attacked his mother.

Since Morbius was not a true vampire, but one created by science, his bite had an adverse effect when it crossed over with the powers Blade already had. Blade was granted vampire powers from Morbius, but his vampire immunities keep him from fully turning...turning him into the daywalker we all know and love.
