I gotta stop getting off the computer on weekends. Catching up is killer!

...What do you all think? Keep it the way it is or redo it?

The paint on that Jan is INCREDIBLE. How'd you get the lines so crisp? She looks like she came from the MU factory!

I love the hair as-is, but I'd be excited to see what you come up with instead!

got a new wal-mart opening near me this weekend, should be new fresh stock in toy aisle; i'll keep you all posted if I find anything new MU-wise.

Good luck! I've got two MU-carrying Walmarts that are completely sold out for over a week now. Seems like they're getting ready to get new stuff, but haven't yet.

Then again, one of those two went with an empty MU peg for 6 straight months before finally restocking... and that was while other WM's were actively restocking!

Marvel Universe 3.75" 2012 Series 02 Revision 02 - Case of 12 - Marvel Figures (Hasbro) Marvel Universe 3.75"

I preordered that too, and can't figure out why. I'll have all those (probably) by the time that case comes out, why will I need doubles?

I think it's because I'm so anxious to get new figures I just preorder all the ones I want in my hands now...

Sadly no, but Onyx (that people have been referencing over here) makes a custom helmet that fits over the stock head. It's AWESOME.

Seriously though, people complain about sellers, but it's the buyers who are the biggest crooks on eBay.

THIS!!! I had a buyer who wasn't happy that there was a crease in the card of a figure I sent him. Prior to messaging me, he opened a buyer protection case against me stated that it wasn't in the description and that he wanted to return it.

Having no choice but to go through the case, I agreed that it wasn't written, and although it was clearly posted in the multiple pictures of the figure and card, and the listing stated that returns were not accepted, I'd refund the cost of the figure and initial shipping if he sent it back to me. That way, we'd both be out shipping costs. Me due to not writing about the crinkle, him for not checking the pictures carefully before buying.

After sending the figure and getting what he asked for, he left my first negative feedback ever in almost 600 transactions! I asked him why, and he said that it was a negative interaction. I asked what I could do to make him change his mind and he said he expected to be paid back for the shipping he sent me as well. I reluctantly returned that to him, and he didn't change his feedback. I called and talked with eBay about it multiple times and they said there's nothing they can do. Regardless of how the situation is handled by the Seller, even with a case against the transaction, the buyer can ALWAYS leave negative feedback, while the seller can't.

There's no justice on eBay, that place sucks.

...Damn it. They had loads of rhino and 3 or 4 dooms but no Avengers vs X-men packs. I am going to have to really drive to hit up a different Toys r us.

I also need those Rhino and Doom packs pretty bad, my TRUs don't seem to be getting them.

I'd love and hate for that to happen at the same time. If they did this, it would be a sign that every valuable character would eventually be produced again, and we wouldn't have to cop to scalper prices, but I'd also feel like crap for paying so much for my Vision and Blades...

Me to! Me to! I need King Loki and Laufey. They're the last two legit figures I need to be 100% on non-Spidey MU lines.

Sometimes we even ping eachother on some tapatalk forums and Facebook that we checked into a TRU or Walmart. then if it's me, I set a budget, like $80, the list flows in, I looked, and get back to those who's items we find. It's my way of giving the middle finger to scalpers. We're good at it though, so much that we've been labeled scalpers ourselves. been called that a few times, I don't even know why people are so quick to judge when I've gathered hard to find items for my friend and her son.

That's a really nice use of networking. I could see a 'secret' Facebook group being perfect for that. You can ping your location, get notifications, take pictures, and leave comments in the same spot.

I've joined some of the FB MU groups, but there's not a ton of interesting activity on those. The postings are a mish-mash of sightings, hauls, and questions, nothing like what you've described.

It would be nice to have an actual team to work with on things. If we could only ship things for free, that'd be even more optimal.

i've been labelled a scalper by people who have no idea who i am, so i empathize. middle finger to judges.

in regards to the hunt, the worst part for me is the time elapsed from the moment i park to the moment i enter the toy aisle. haha. that's the most nerve-wracking walk ever.

Swatches signed by Parker Lewis, none the less.

I'm afraid of the scalper label, but I've seen it applied liberally to people I don't consider scalpers, so I expect it to happen eventually. I'd just hope it happened publically rather than privately.

I think the worst part of the Hunt for me is walking to the spot in the toy section where I know the peg has been bare for more than a week or more and finding it empty still. Pegwarmers I can deal with, it's the lack of restocking that drives me nuts.

Which one is the MU wiki?

One picture from the panel at SDCC, but you couldn't even see any differences on Juggernaut really. No images of Cyclops, and none of them looked like Phoenix versions.



EDIT: And I just updated my BST fellas. Let me know if there's anything you want.
