About the only thing I got this week were two new Marvel MegaBloks minifigs (Series 2 Thor and Loki). Pics tomorrow, hopefully.

I also "got" HFTD Windcharger from Amazon, but it's currently sitting at my in-laws house waiting for me. Once I have that, I will finally have a complete set of ROTF/HFTD Scouts. Can't wait to finally check that off my list.

Different divisions, too. MU, SW, TF and Joes are all separate divisions of Hasbro with their own designers, marketing and production schedules.

Well, at least we got a pretty funny "Weird Al" parody out of it.

$9 is getting rough for these little guys (MU is there now too), but if they either come with the slew of accessories that Joes do, or have the articulation of a Marvel Universe Cable/Cyclops/Dr. Strange, then I'm ok with it.

Strange. The stores around me still have them at $6.97 each. Still haven't gotten the Zombie Viper wave, but the price hasn't jumped either. And MUs are still $7.99-$8.78 at most places around as well. Again, not much selection at the moment.
