There are two Ebay sellers selling them for 130 a pop, and I'm not paying 130, no way. However, the article says that these figures are compatible with LEGO, MEGA Blok and Kre-O, but other than Lego, I have no idea who the other two are. Do they make something cool that I can use to actually display these figures?

But I'm hoping I'll find the prison tower for the price quoted in the article. I mean the Governor's room also looks pretty damn cool but I just don't have that much space. So far the only display play set I've seen first hand is the Daryl one, and I know I'm in the minority but I'm just not a big Daryl fan.

You most certainly might be able to get some cool stuff out of the Mega Blok stuff...as they have the Call Of Duty and Halo lines. The Call of Duty sets really stand out as they have realistic military vehicles, and their own zombies sets. The only problem there is that the mini-figs are in a completely different scale than that of the McFarlane sets, but their mini-figs are HIGHLY articulated, come with a boatload of accessories and in general are really neat.

Kre-o is Hasbro's version of Legos, and they do the G.I.Joe and Transformer's licenses primarily. They are primarily found in Toys R' Us only, as a lot of their sets are exclusive to the chain. Their playsets are kinda lacking in terms of creativity, are quite simple in design, and they simply don't look very good when you place them side by side with Lego or Mega-blok sets. However, if you're into mini figs, Kre-o does an excellent job with their playset figures and blind bags. Their G.I.Joe mini-figs are awesome (if a bit hard to find, because they're also Toys R' Us exclusives...)
