3 3/4" sighting and hauls

[dragonkings]

got the Mortal Kombat Ninjas pack and the MU Metal Absorbing man variant in Atlantic City ,others go for the gambling and Booze...I go for toys too.

also got the Regular Dr.Strange, DareDevil/bullseye and Wonder man/Quick Silver 2 packs on the way home from the local Discount spot.

 

last but not least got my mail and there was the Ryu/Sagat two pack in the mail....

 

not bad haul considering I left Atlantic City Broke.

saw yet another SS Venom today at Target. I swear that when I break down and spend a little more to get something through the internet, it starts popping up all over the place.

Got one more Hydra soldier today too. Just the movie colors though.

 

And it's not MU, but I finally got the 6" Nick Fury and the WWII Cap figs at Walmart today!!! Nick is one bad looking Mo, I gotta say.

I can't get to my 6" displays because I have a mess in front of them, so I had to put him with my 3.75" Cap stuff in my work area.

Guys

Which version of Galactus is better?

 

Thanks in advance.

 

I think my opinion runs contrary to many on this board, but I MUCH prefer the Galactus in standard colors. IMO he's the greatest fig in this line.

[CharrdWood]

Got my sif from venom and a surprise.. metal absorbing man... you are truely awsome...... thanks man...

 

 

Is that a *completely* metal Absorbing Man?! I didn't even know that existed...

[jason1551]

?

 

What did you think the variant Absorbing Man was?

[CommanderRogers]

Honestly I thought it was just metal upper body too. I was thinking that his pants stayed the same, which is probably what Charrwood was thinking too. Is there one with metal upper body and regular looking pants though? I only have the flesh one, so I don't know what any metal ones look like.

[DoktorAvidan]

I wish they had an Absorbing Man with various materials absorbed...metal, rock, diamond etc...

 

that would look awesome....

[darkart99609]

Stopped by my TRU today and they were loaded with the XForce 3 packs and the Guardians of the Galaxy pack. They had about 10 of each but not one Fantastic Four pack. I caved and bought the GOTG pack even though the only one I’ve heard of is Rocket Raccoon. As usual they had zero single figures.

This/these:

 

 

Those are the images in the database for this wave. And I've never seen a completely metallic AbMan anywhere else. Guess I missed a memo...

[Trout]

 

 

Took a trip to Target today and a sales rep was nice enough to tell me there was another MU box in the back. He went and brought it out but unfortunately it was a box of Thor figures. Old ones.

 

I was thrilled that a Target guy was that nice but was pretty upset I spent five minutes getting excited while he was in the back getting the box. I kept thinking I was going to find buried treasure.

 

Left with only an Ultron. Sad day.

Of course, wish me luck. I'm driving home for Thanksgiving soon and have all the Walmarts and Targets on the way mapped out. I think I'll stop by all of them in hopes of finding that buried treasure.

Finally found Magneto today at a Walmart, and to my surprise they filled up 5 pegs with that wave and had so much they were falling of the pegs. No Metal Absorbing Man though. They did however have all 6 of the different three packs and some of the older comic packs.

[DSmith]

Awesome haul at the comic book store yesterday!!!!!

DCUC Stargirl

DCUC Atom

DCUC Hawkman

DCUC Lord Naga

(completed my S.T.R.I.P.E. figure)

MU Captain Marvel

MU Daredevil/Bullseye 2pack

MU Quicksilver/Wonder Man 2pack

 

All caught up and didn't even know the new MU 2packs were available! Only saw Daredevil/Bullseye at the store, but asked a salesperson if they had Quicksilver/Wonder Man in stock, so he went back and brought 2 to the sales floor. Of course I weighed out best paint job. As a die-hard Avengers fan I'm SO happy to have Quicksilver and Wonder Man!

 

Midtown Comics?

 

Grand Central or Times Square?

 

Forbidden Planet near Union Square!

Has anyone tried to swap the upper torso/arms/head of the Secret Wars "transitioning" Absorbing Man onto the Lower torso/legs of the new "normal" Absorbing Man so that there's a transitioning one with the white/black striped pants?

 

Is this easy to do? I've never tried to pop off at that joint before, but I would like a transitioning version with the new pants.

[DoktorAvidan]

I want this in 1:18 scale

[shmashwitdaclub]

amazon has one of those 8 inch destroyer in stock for $13 if anyone wants it: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0049MPGF...m=ATVPDKIKX0DER

[wolverine2281]

sold out?

[shmashwitdaclub]

looks like it now. there was only one for $13 from amazon.com

that $50 is being sold by amazon for "toys on fire"

 

I would have grabbed it myself but I found one at TRU the other for $10.

People should probably wait on these some more - they may be trickling out.

[evilanimation]

seems so!!! These will e at Ross very soon.

[shortysben]

I noticed that Ross was getting in those CRAP Green Lantern Figures...ha ha, those are soo terrible...

 

Also, just a side note to that "jtrain" guy who reviews toys...I am not a big fan of his reviews...simply because he "likes" everything, and calls everything "fantastic"...he only judges on price, and nothing else...

[LapuLapu]

Seems like old news but picked up a GOTG at a walmart.

[bevx1138]

At the TRU 3-for-2 sale today, I picked up Darkhawk, 70's Ms. Marvel (is she in a recent revision?) and Renegades Duke. I got Duke mainly for his head; it's the most Pym-like head I think I've seen yet. Though it may work nicely for Iron Fist.

 

At Walmart this evening, I saw a Stark-head and 2 Icemans (Icemen?). It's the first remnants of that wave I've come across in the Dallas area so far. I passed on them, since Wolvie is the only one I really want.

 

Also, forgot to post a week or so ago when I snagged the white FF set at Walmart. I've seen enough of all the 3-packs in stock at both Walmarts and TRUs that I think I'll wait for a sale/clearance before I pick up the GotG set.

[DoktorAvidan]

I like saying Icemans

since it's a proper noun based on a singular entity.

Icemen indicates something entirely different.

Also it sounds adorable ^.^

 

 

I don't know what happened at work, the endcap that was crammed with Spidey figures disappeared, I guess they were all backstocked, as the other location with the Marvel did not and could not accommodate such a large display...

 

But we have been getting a lot of Venoms lately which is neat.

Oof! Dude, that place is super expensive, isn't it? I've only gone in there once.

I cannot find the MU display at my local Target for love nor money. Any thoughts as to where it might be? Are they supposed to be consistent from store to store?
