Nice and welcome again. Keep an eye out for eBay lot auctions and forum members selling their MU stuff off for cheap.
There is a look what I just got thread if you ever want to post in there and a collection section where you can post a thread about your collection.
Feel free to add pics in here as well of your recent additions.
I just picked up a loose Cable with Baby Hope and glad that I did because I didnt want to bust open the MOC one I had and I have to agree that it's easily one of the best MU figures to date.

Good haul man. Wish I could have srarted my collection with this sale. Would have saved me hundreds lol

Boba Fettuccini · 08-18-2011, 11:23 AM

I might have to go back and see if they put anything else out. I went Sunday night and they had already gone from 3 loaded pegs of this years 1st wave and some remnants of the Cable wave to a Modular Iron Man and a few Wreckers.

felks22us · 08-18-2011, 11:51 AM

menicus · 08-18-2011, 01:29 PM

Bit the bullet and went back for two more today... Got my Dr. Strange. Really wanted Skaar but I also found Falcon and I finally decided Iron Man and Storm were getting tired of being my only fliers on the hero side...

Fedup23 · 08-18-2011, 02:58 PM

Swung into Walmart on my way home.. heads up.. dont know if its just this store in particular.. but they were having a big toy clearance.. and I scored Goliath vs Thor for 17 bucks!

atomicsmurf · 08-18-2011, 04:31 PM

Wow you guys are picking up some great hauls. I better check Target one more time before the sale is over.

On a sad note I just found out that my TRU is closing and moving across town. I'm kinda bummed. I've been going to that TRU since I was 7 (that's the 80's for you youngens) with my dad.

I wonder what all the scalpers will do now? Hmm... lol

Well.. I collected (played with, hahah) Mego 8" action figures in the 70s as a kid! Sadly all I have left is my trusty Spiderman.

Jason Abbadon · 08-18-2011, 05:44 PM

Welcome!
Where you at? In the US? There are a lot of us here so we often give each other the hook up on area stores that have figs.

SoundWave88 · 08-18-2011, 05:59 PM

I hate u all!!

I have the worst luck finding MU figures, if anyone can help, I need a Cable, color Dr. Strange, Guardian, Ms. Marvel variant.

first day of college...and you were buying action figures? Im praying you dont live in a dorm. (and this is coming from a guy with one of the most ridiculous collections youve ever seen.)

bmorr · 08-18-2011, 06:50 PM

he didnt say he was dorming, but if he was, toy hunting wouldnt be the first thing on my find at 18 and a freshmen.

DUDE! buy the Wreckers!
Then get two AIM goons!
Then buy some Krylon yellow spray paint (specificly for plastics).

Then make yourself two big AIM super-soldiers! They Wrecker body has the same sorta outfit as the AIM guys but bigger.
I figure, if anyone can crank out super soldiers or enhanced operatives, they can!

I did this and just need to add yellow shading to the fig and the numerous attachments to the fig's belt (grenades and pouches from AIM shoulder straps mainly).

He really looks great with five normal AIM soldiers and MODOK- a bit of size variation really makes an army-builder group scene work.
Now I need another AIM helmet for a female agent....

Time to check Target again!

I think the sale is on till Saturday, so two more days, boys!

omega145 · 08-19-2011, 03:54 AM

Great idea Jason, I think I remember u mentioning that before. Id really like to see pics of those aim wreckers.

Nice. Still kicking myself for not grabbing a Goliath / Iron Man for $13 a couple years back from Walmart when I was still deciding whether to collect the line... :'(

Jason Abbadon · 08-19-2011, 07:19 AM

Me too- I saw the Vision in color and decided to pick up only the Avengers...when I got paid.
Yeah- never saw that fig again.

Anyhow, I just got another Skarr and Cyclops for custom fodder- I need to score a 5" colussus and stuck the head on a Skarr body, break out thhe Testors' metalizer and make Ironclad.
The other big body will become Neutron of the Imperial Guard if I can swing it!

No idea on Cyclops though....maybe another SHIELD agent...Any suggestions for a custom useing that basic body?
