Action Figure Supplies had them in for about a week. Think he's still got a Gamora and plenty of Iron Men left.

Just got back from HOME BARGAINS...they have the THOR:the Dark World figures at £2.99 a pop! 4 Dark Elves, LOADS of Kurse and several of 3 different Thors available at my local.

Also, ASDA in Huddersfield had MI wave 1 in, only 1 Hyperion hanging though, so the case went pretty fast I guess. We are starting to see them here. ASDA being the 4th place I have seen them now and the first of the BIG 4 to carry them, at least that I have seen. Nothing at TRU as of yet, but it has been 4 weeks since last there. NO WAY was i going near that monsterous shopping centre with its HORRIBLE traffic on a bank holiday weekend!!!!

Hope everyone enjoyed their 3 day weekend this bank holiday. VERY rainy here and cold. We have the heating on and a soup cooking as I write this.... in bloody August!!!! Argh....

My neighbour NEVER mailed off ANY of my packages.... so JIMMYO and PRIMACON your packs are on their way tomorrow. I added a drawing for Scar for your wait James.... sorry. Hope she enjoys it!!! (and pesters Dad to order more from good ole ukmu)

I also have 3 boxes to the states to send away in the morning.... My goofball neighbour said, sorry but I was keeping them safe for you..... didnt have time to go to post office. We live 2 or 3 pitches in distance away from a post office and he works from home and I gave 35 quid to post 12 quid worth of mail. Oh well....had to vent that.

Also went to GotG for the 3rd time and it was SOLD OUT and we and about 30 to 50 others in line were turned away. Bummer we missed it, but WOW is that film hot Hot HOT!!!!! I hope it beats X-Men D.F.P.and ASM2 in ticket sales. My son wants a Sony Walkman for Christmas and Awesome Mix Volume 1 on cassette..... it never ends!

Home Bargains had them a while back but those are long gone, Scalped up and sold on sadly

Panthro1978 · 08-29-2014, 04:49 AM

Speaking of scalping, I've just grabbed two ML TWS Black Widows in my LCS, along with a Stealth Cap. They still had a load of Winter Soldiers and at least 2 of each of the others.

Panthro1978 · 09-08-2014, 04:02 AM

I'm having more look with MS and ML right now than MU - I've just found that MS Winter Soldier Disney Exclusive in my local Disney store.

ukmu · 09-14-2014, 12:54 PM

just about to finish up the S.H.I.E.L.D. army!!! It is exciting and a little sad when you reach your target goal for an army. Just need a few more parts to come and finish the bits and bobs up and done and dusted.

I am thinking now though that i dont like the 3 pack TRU soldiers as everyone else is now black and they are blueish.... Just have 5 of them though left as we went customs for the soldiers and use them (the 3 pack TRU agent/soldiers)as head swapped agents...Gabe Jones, Jimmy Woo, Clay Quatermain and Casper Sitwell, and an extra one that was going to be Dum Dum some day.
I saw someone use the AA cartoon Nick Fury figure (same as movie but blue with white trim and a non Sam Jack head) for the agents and painted the blue to black. They look good as that is what i did already for the Nick Fury to have white boots as I didnt want to paint them white over the black....might do the agents that way and trade the expensive TRU ones now. The Fury figures are like £3.87 each shipped from ChinaBay now.

Panthro1978 · 09-26-2014, 04:20 AM

Just spotted some of the newer Marvel Infinites (?) range - only ones that I can remember were the re-issue of Steve Rogers and some red chick.

mikeyb101 · 09-26-2014, 03:08 PM

Very disappointing pickings in Leeds today, about four Infinite wave 1 figs and 1 SHIELD Gear Winter Soldier in Asda Living and Smyths had 2 very battered Legends Spidey figs on sale, a ton of Thor The Dark World figures for £5.99 and a couple of peg warming Cap 2 figures that were there when I last went in about 2 months ago.

mikeyb101 · 10-09-2014, 07:36 AM

2 new waves showcased at NYCC:
2014 NYCC - Marvel Infinite Series 3.75" Figures - Figures - MarvelousNews.com

Now all we need is someone to actually get them in stock!

Panthro1978 · 10-10-2014, 08:39 AM

Well, I just found Infinites Rocket in my local comic store. £9.99.

ukmu · 10-10-2014, 10:41 PM

Good score!!

My buddy is selling off his last MU for £5 each. They are moc and come in a lot of 13. Just a fiver for shipping, making it £70 for the total. The cards are perfect and it is good buy to fill in gaps or part fodder for customization. They are figures from.waves 22, 23 and 24. I don't remember them all but I do remember: Black Knight, A-Bomb, Cloak, Dagger, Aurora, Colossus, maybe an Iron Fist maybe, erm what else.... a Rhino I think... anyway I can get a list,should have wrote it down. With MI articulation taking a turn could be a.great.chance to grab some base figures for the future.
