Passed on Avengers 6" figures (none of which were Hulk or Hawkeye). Also passed on all Retaliation, DKR and ASM figures. Also saw clearanced DCUC figures, including All-Star Hal Jordan and Wave 20(?) Sinestro Corps Sinestro. At $11 each, I might actually go back and pick up Hal.

Those were probably listings for the MP version. It didn't have the cap in Japan, but importers like BBTS were required to "add" it before sending them out to their US customers.

Of course, some of us were able to find importers who didn't mod our brand new toys or open a factory-sealed box.

MP Megs is good, but there are some minor issues with his mold (mostly fragility and potential rusting/discoloration of the die cast parts). The other thing that might throw people off is that even though MP Megs turns into that Walther P38 better than G1 Megs does, the MP version is comically over-sized.
