Hello! Long time lurker, first time poster. I've been thinking about creating an account ever since TRU went under, as the community is more important now than ever. Also, I've been enjoying everyone's thoughts and pics for a long time now, and should be showing said appreciation...

I'll get right to it: I accidentally ended up with two Walgreens Thing figures and would like (if possible) to trade him for a Walgreens Magik figure. I ended up with two Ben's when I purchased one from eBay (I had a hard time finding the Surfer, and was worried about not finding Ben, who is my favorite comic book character) and my girlfriend--knowing my love of the character and concerns--also picked one up for me.

So one issue: the packaging on my unopened Thing is not the best (PM me for pics), so this is definitely going to need to go to someone who is opening the figure and not concerned about boxes. I fall into the latter category, and had I know I was getting two Things I'd have waited to open the beat-up packaging. Doh!

Fortunately, the figure itself looks good (again, PM me for pics). Like I said, I'd prefer to trade for Magik since she's another of my favorites and I'm afraid I'll never see her in stores, but am also willing to just sell Ben at cost plus shipping ($25 in US) to someone having a hard time finding him. I live in NC, and will work with whoever PM's me first.

I'll endeavor to add some actual content to the larger conversation soon once I figure out how to add pics to my posts, promise. Thanks!
