Okay, back from Tokyo!

First, I have been able to meet with my NY-based friend who delivered me the gift-pack with Carnage etc... from Spider-Man, as well as 10 Hydra soldiers who were on sale for 3$ each on Amazon!

Then I began to hunt some figs, but no luck... I found the Elektra-Rhino wave for 18$/p in a toy and electronics store, and began to get desperate...too bad I'm not much in Transformers anymore

Until I found this shop in Tokyo specialized in US Toys, with a christmas sale! They had the whole Rhino wave on sale for 9$, but also some older figs and the Cloak wave! Unfortunately, they only carried Abomination and Cloak, no Dagger or A-Bomb.

Fun thing is all the wave except Cloack and Abo was on sale. I bought Cloak full price since I didn't know if I'll meet him again...
I went then to Mandarake, a very famous otaku-merchandise based pawn shop, where everything is "used" or "second-hand". I use to go there for cheap Figuarts shopping (price can go down to 6$ a fig for a slightly damaged box).

There I found.... a Marvel Showdown Doc Ock!!! Since everyone here told about how a big deal was this line, I jumped on it even at 18$!
After that, I crossed the street for a new toys pawn shop to find some older and loose MU. Took Beast and Doc Samson for 5$ each. They also had some Mysterio wave, but nothing I didn't get yet.

The next day, I went to a big videogame shop to buy games for a friend, when, on the toy corner, I found this:

The full wave, with both Cloack AND Dagger, Abo AND A-Bomb, on the same shelf. I don't know how works the distribution outside of USA, but I think I was extra-lucky to find this kind of assortment. I only bought Dagger though since Abo and A-bomb are "ugly figures" and shall be on sale next time I go to Japan as was Rhino compared to last September.

I hope they'll get the Aurora wave next year as well!
