Just saw this thread, surprised at how much MU stuff you folks have seen in UK shops. In Brighton, Entertainer no longer has any MU stuff, it went on sale a few months ago. TRU, nothing except bikes with fixed figures. Asda, nothing since Iron Man years ago!
There's a comic shop called Dave's but single figures are £13, doubles £25 (imports). Have tocheck Tesco's sometime.

Welcome dude!

Do you mean the unmasked Captain America?

No mate,there was one with the industry standard projecto-launcher,and another with a shield with pop out weapons on it........

Panthro1978 · 03-20-2012, 04:50 AM

I'm having a lot of luck of late. Just picked up Marvel Legends Steve Rogers Super Soldier and Extremis Iron Man in Liverpool TRU. They are magnificent.

Thanks for buying some of the Joes up, they've been warming the shelves for far too long!!!

TheLongestDay · 03-21-2012, 02:03 PM

I was just happy to see something other than BARONESS! :P

That's him. Whilst I've seen the film, I don't do Joes. He's the Arnold Vosloo character, isn't he?

Good to find a little posse of likeminded dudes.

Brighton T-R-U had the Avengers stuff in today, together with Iron Man stuff at a discount (£4.99 I think).
Also Joe's were back on the shelves, much better assortment than before (not just Helix!).
I'm really getting into Joes at the moment- they're actually quite well made nowadays with good articulation. Also many of them have nice touches like mini holsters with removable pistols, and alternate helmets. Worth cherry-picking rather than collect-em-all (there's so bloody many of them anyway).
Edit- Yes the film was atrocious. The old 80's cartoon was more coherent.

Panthro1978 · 03-23-2012, 04:49 AM

Someone in Liverpool has been and hoovered up the remaining Marvel Legends from TRU. He's left Hope and Extremis Iron Man - still both a bargain at £14.99, compared to FP's £17.99.

That makes sense, seeing as how I bought Hope at the end of last week from them...

I swear they wait till I buy almost all the stuff I want and then put it on offer. Happened with Dark Of The Moon stuff too.

It's why I'm holding back on buying Avengers stuff (that and the lousy articulation), not including Loki hunting of course.

Same here, but I managed to grab a Loki in Liverpool's Worlds Apart. The only DOTM I didn't get was Voyager Prime/FB Prime, mainly because I don't like the mold.

How much you looking for for the DD 2pack?

Panthro1978 · 03-28-2012, 04:06 AM

Just scored a MU Dr Doom, the new look Cap figure from The Avengers and a Super Hero Squad Iron Patriot from Worlds Apart. Still had a couple of Loki and some Hulk. Nothing new in terms of Minimates or Marvel Select.

They did have several of the new Marvel Legends but no Thor.

Going to have to learn to control myself. They're not a cheap shop.
