I mean no offense to those who have it/like it...but it just doesnt seem justifiable to me...I mean the cap figure it comes with SUCKS...also, there is not much displayability there, peg holes are nice, but you cant really put figures in the thing...

This is no dirt in the eye to whoever has it, just not for me

I scrambled to both of my TRUs, and their stock of everything was abysmal.

Blech. Ab man, Mags, Iron fist, Union Jack. Those are all overplayed and currently warming.

My pub is open for business... or is it just a storefront for something else?

And a special thanks to ludo for the kick-ass custom sign!

There's some more in my collection thread.

Awesome custom sign! That's some great graphics work combined with great printing work!

I guess at that last one they got so frustrated with kids messing up the isles, they just put EVERYTHING up high enough kids couldn't reach it!

Is that the recent Nick Fury Secret Warriors, or the older book?

I LOVED my Montgomery Moose! Getalong Gang was highly underrated, even if they were a Care Bears spin off.

Is there anything even worth getting from that line? The super-posable Spidey seems way too small for MU scale.

None of the Targets seem to be restocking that line at this point. I hope some of the better pieces are easily found at clearance.

I could have sworn that I heard Hasbro say they're going to stop making 3.75" Movie lines to focus on animated lines instead, but that sounds pretty crazy at this point. Maybe they only meant 'until the next marvel movie comes out next year'.

I'm hoping to find them in the wild and cancel my BBTS preorders...

It wasn't the Bill wave, it was the Prof X wave! Only found in Walmarts near the Mexican border in California so far. Seems to be a fluke.

Great job! I'd love to see a different head on Multiple Man. His 'ultimate' head is too far from the main continuity one for me.

I feel like it's been forgotten.

I agree. Shouldn't it be in stores by now? Though my Walmarts are pretty flooded with the first two packs.

I forgot to post my mini-haul from SDCC. I'm so close to 100% complete in MU that these two were BIG wins for me to find there:

That's a glossy phasing Vision and a dark-wash green Hulk from the recent rev case.

All I have left are things I've only heard about and never seen in person:
*Black Eyes Black Panther
*Transparent Mask Electro
*1st Edition Black Spidey
*Straight Legs Blade
*White Tank Luke Cage
*Blonde Black Widow
*Short Hair Brunette Black Widow

King Loki and King Laufey are the only movie lines figures I'm missing, but I've given up on finding US versions of those for less than $70 each.

Incidentally, I heard about a third set of the Cage/Widow/Widow figures recently being bought by another MU collector:



I don't remember if I brought it up here either, but Hasbro changed out their Snowbird almost every day in the Castle Doom Dio, first with the bird, then a wolf, then a bobcat. I started thinking that they could put different snowbird variations in with Puck, and make us buy it three times!



Anyone have any ideas as to which head they put under Mysterio's bowl? I tried to take pictures, since in the case you could almost make it out, but none of them were too revealing:

Either it's a blonde or the head is unpainted like the Bagman head.


I also heard a discussion about the differences between the three Medusas that were shown, but I can't see it. Something about the cuffs and the hair, does anyone see the difference?



Sorry for the picture heavy post!
