...I suppose the only time scalpers urinate me off is when it's a figure I want. The rest of the time...meh.

It's nice to see this in a larger size, but for as long as I've wanted a helicarrier, I don't think I could settle for anything less than something the size of the GI Joe USS Flagg. I understand that it's cost prohibitive, but there it is.

Soo true. Scalpers hover all over ebay like flies on shit. The links for those figures along are proof enough. Just be patient and don't buy their ridiculous priced items. Sorry to say but as good and fun sdcc is, its definitely scalper central. I've witnessed the prices go up every year for awhile now. Its only going to get worse every year.

For ppl who are considering buying, are they planning on hanging it up for display. If I'm going to consider it, I was thinking of hanging it with some clear fish line and dry wall sink hooks in the ceiling. Any other ideas?

Scalpers and Arkers! ;)

Yea, that's really a bummer. Maybe he'll be a Gigantic Battles instead? He'd go pretty great with a Frog Thor (orange) and a Franklin Richards (green)...

Hasbro Toy Shop sells them sometime within the first week of release, usually a few days after SDCC, but it's pretty tough to get one even there.

Agreed. If and whenever I've done this it's been to pay for the toys I kept. So far, that's been an astoundingly losing battle.

Gonna have to make that happen for you, OV. (Though I might need a reminder a day or so before). It was pretty comical lugging the 3' sentinel boxes around last year. This year should be even more hilarious...

Here is one way of beating the scalpers.Making your own helicarrier,all you need is the following items.
Some foil wrap,an ironing board.

anyway its a cheaper alternative,peace :)

yuck lol.

Its probably better to make one out of cardboard.

Haha love it!

Dont be a hater :D

Ewwwww, Ahhhhhh

Dude some good chicken could have been put on that tin foil....waisted...

Ummmm I collect toys and even I would hide something like that when friends came over.....:)

Sweet custom.. is it going on ebay?

It's a variant of the unreleased SDCC issue!

I'll wait for the 6 inch version of movie maria hill....if for no other reason than its a Cobie Smulders action figure. yum yum yum!

I dont get it ... Hasbro will release something like this but wont reissue TF Fortress Maximus .. Comon already hasbro :(

Lol.

Probably because that bad boy cost more to do the mold on I'm assuming? But ya that would be awesome if they re released that, Metroplex and Tripticon I would be on that so hard.

I must see that footage, its all on you man.....

This thing looks amazing. Theres a dirtbag on ebay selling this as a preorder...with ONLY THE CAP FIGURE! Who da funk would buy that???

Maybe I should wear my gopro camera just to capture some footage for you guys. I'm pretty sure some fools are going to get whacked by this helicarrier by ppl who are trying to move through the crowds...and I will be there to film it.

I half want Maria Hill just to make a " How I met your mother" custom Robyn figure. I would love to have a custom Barney and Ted figure and have a Sheldon and Leonard figure from " The Big Bang Theory".

I saw that. But hey, he's lowered the price. It's only 100.00 now. He was asking 130.00 a couple of days ago.

My problem with the Sentinel last year was the shuttle back to the hotel. That was a serious ordeal.

What a steal!

Awesome. I'm going to customize a harold and kumar figures to go along with NLH, lol. Harold and kumar 4
That does suck. I lugged around two sdcc sentinels around the con + other swag. I thought walking to the car was a pain in the ass. The shuttle can get pretty crowded too.

Not so much the crowd, but the fact that the damn boxes don't fit in the seating areas at all, so you have to stand and hold them next to you in the isle...

This carrier is going to be a mega beast.

hasbro should repaint this for the joe line. it could be the uss flagg v2.

I want to see one to proper scale. It seems to serve a similar function to the soon to be commisioned Amercia class (albiet flying) That would make a 1/18th scale helicarrier 46.8 feet long and 5.8 feet wide, though it might need to be widened to allow for the props.
