I appreciate that these are carried in Disney Stores too.



What I don't appreciate is the Disney Store price tag... $50 fazools, folks! $50.

Short story time..
So the reason you see two sets here (variant and regular) is because I walked into that magical store, with the casino carpeting and overly-bubbly sales associate, today to check the MU scene and at first all I saw was the same old MU figs I see at the Target by me that re-ups their good shit about once a season, but then I saw a stack of about five 35th sets. The first one I pick up is the variant... "Nice!.... wait,.. $50!?!?... is this wrong?" I check another and it's also a variant... "Fuck!! Two variants of sets I don't need.. damnit!!!" The gears are turning, the bubbly, but very plain looking, chick that works there starts to ask me something, but I shrug her off because I'm thinking of a way to save $15 on a $35-$50 set I could do without in the first place. I'm sure she just wanted to ask me to bang her in the back anyway,.. and I had no time for that... I was working on a toy scheme. "aha!.. got it!!" So I buy one of the $50 variants, shoot across the street to TRU and buy one of their regular $35 sets (which rang up $38 but the shelf tag says $35.. all I did was mention that to the cashier and she adjusted it without skipping a beat).... later this week I'll stop at the Disney store and return the regular I got at TRU to get my $50 back and... Boom!.. $35 variant set and I'm a happy fool.

And then I get home and this guy is on my doorstep..

..thank you, omega145!

Good toy day.. month.. year...

Edit- If any of you guys collect Marvel Select, the Disney store had a ton of them... Spidy, Thor, Ironman, Magneto, and Deadpool,.. at least two of each at $20 a pop.
