3 3/4" sighting and hauls

[BatDude]

Found a Carnage at Wal-Mart this morning. They had Ben Reilly and Doc Ock too, but I passed on them. Even though I have all the Spidey-Related MU stuff, Doc Ock is just terrible, IMO, and I'm not really a Ben Reilly fan.

 

Wish they'd get more Spidey Villains in the actual MU line :\

[decepticonmark]

Found the new comic packs at the Muscle Shoals Walmart this morning. Passed on them but couldn't pass on the lone MJ on the pegs. There were no other new singles but I"ve passed on her a couple of times and thought I had made a mistake since I haven't seen her in awhile. With MU around here if you don't get them when you first see them, many times you'll never see them again. I thought MJ might peg warm but it seems that honor from her wave goes to WS and IS.

Found the new comic packs at TRU this morning. There were quite a few but the paint apps looked like garbage! I picked up wolvie/cap and sentry/spidey with DECENT paint apps. I'm kinda pissed.

I don't think scalping is right... but I can't blame anyone for doing it either... and it surely isn't the biggest problem in collecting.

 

 

UM, yes it is.

 

 

I agree with fair game with you bro, but this ONE line from your post I disagree with 100%

 

aside from bad distribution, (which is sometimes because of scalpers B.S. and poor business sense i.e. trying to appease scalpers)

 

 

wrong. case ratios are the absolutely worst problem about collecting. Hands down. No disputing it.

 

 

It's Hasbro's fault for putting only 1 of the best figure in each case, and 6-7 figures nobody wants in there instead. if there were 2 or 3 Archangels per case, he wouldn't be so hard to find and he wouldn't be getting scalped all day... but they keep doing it and doing it.

 

and besides the point... you guys are way overblowing the problem of scalping... I would guess that for every 10 Archangels sold at Target, 8-9 of them are sold to people who actually want to keep them.

 

 

You are greatly over estimating the number at 8 or 9 out of ten at target making it to people who aren't scalpers probably closer to 6 out of 10. but who knows....

 

the bottom line was:

 

"aside from bad distribution," (which is sometimes because of scalpers B.S. and poor business sense i.e. trying to appease scalpers)

 

I agree they need to fix distribution but scalpers are a serious problem, not a minor one by any stretch.

 

anyway, I think this issue took the post off topic. back to hauls and not those goofy youtube ones either.

Same thing here. I just grabbed the Sentry/Spidey. The Cap/Wolverine, both had bad paint jobs.

 

Anyways, here's the Haul for today. I was finally able to find the Target Wolverine/Hand Ninja.

 

[wolverine2281]

no pics of cap/wolvie?

[fenix]

no pics of cap/wolvie?

 

No, sorry, i meant i didn't pick one up because of the bad paint jobs. Wolverine had a glob of orange over the brown and Cap had some silver. it looked like they went with a Silver undercoat and then a blue for a metallic look.

[wolverine2281]

oops, misread that

[Gaelinic]

Ok all you haters. Don't say I never help.

 

Hasbrotoyshop has the new comic packs in right now. And, I found you a hefty discount of 20 percent. Go stock up on your plastic madness, and don't forget to give 'ole scalpy uncle Gaelinic a hug when you check out.

 

The Hasbrotoyshop discount is: EXCLUSIVE20.

 

Comic packs are HERE!!!

 

Also, I found Carnage today at Walmart. I escorted my son's field trip to a pumpkin patch. Stopped by at Walmart and found Carnage tucked behind the Marvel Universe figures. Very bad hiding place if someone put it there. Might as well have put a neon light arrow pointing to the fig. Anyway, good day with the comic pack haul.

Hey guys, I know this is nothing new, but I just wanted to point out again that Wal-Mart takes the Iron Man 2 $5 off a purchase of $20 or more for anything Marvel, no matter what the price! I found a Whiplash movie series from IM2 and, being priced at $5 already, all I had to pay was the tax! They also had the new comic packs (sentry/spider-man, thor/IM, Wolv/Cap), so I grabbed a thor/IM pack and used another coupon. Ended up paying about 8 or 9 bucks for it. So freaking awesome!

[dragonkings]

Thanks uncle gaelinic,

 

Today I saw some local toyshop actually had the mu multiple man, mystique, crappy wolvie , and captain Britain. For 9.99 each grabbed the multiple man to complete my set. They also had a stack of dark spidey and wolvie for 15.99. But passed I had it already.

 

Plus when I got home my package from toys4smiles.com

 

I got hawkeye 2 pack, silver surfer, thanos, yellow jacket, punisher, union jack, hulk 2 pack.

 

Good day. I got all my must haves that are out,

Minus the archangel exclusive.

[HG007]

Hey guys, I found a regular Archangel today at my local Target. I already have an extra one and I'm looking to trade him. I'm looking for a MOC Warpath or MOC Vision. Hit me up if anyone is interested. Thanks

[SKETCH]

Picked up the New ML 2 packs. Also got a Reg Havok, Thanos, and Archangel. Good day. Looking to trade for Jean Grey and Warpath.

[decon]

You guys must have all the luck.

 

Today I went to 3 Walmarts (one stopped carrying MU), the others had peg warmers.

 

Went to 1 TRU and only saw a complete restock of the last wave ML 2 packs.

 

Went to 3 Targets and only saw 1 Yellowjacket but it had a box cutter line right through the center of the card. Another target had MJ/Skrull soldier wave.

 

Ended up picking up Mystique on eBay for $12 and $11 last week.

 

Just looking for Thanos and Hulk/Valkyrie pack now.

[M1sF1t]

Picked up the New ML 2 packs. Also got a Reg Havok, Thanos, and Archangel. Good day. Looking to trade for Jean Grey and Warpath.

 

Sweet grab dude, as far as the past week goes, i managed to get a Fury, the New 2010 sdcc spidey, and the 2009 invader 4 pack

[essjkid05]

i found wave 11 at target(san jose,CA) yesterday and bought them all except ironman.

[Sinestro815]

Hey guys i went to a TRU in my area and found all three ML 2 packs. Picked up Warpath/Deadpool regular in hopes of trading it for a variant. I just saw somebody was looking for the Hulk/Valkeryie. If I had known sooner I would have picked it up. Also the regular widow/winter soldier didn't impress me much. In hindsight should have just picked them up for trades. Also found all three new greatest battle 2 packs along with a cyclops/hulk and thunderball/spidey to finish the Wrecking Crew. Good day in my world. Still no wave 11 though.

[MrDizzle]

picked up Thanos & Yellowjacket @ a TRU express today. Little bastard kid in front of me got Constrictor right in front of me. Probably doesn't even know who he is lol They had IM 2020 but he'll be the Team X Wolverine of the wave so I passed on it. Thanos is absolutely amazing. Can't wait to pick up Dark Hawkeye (when I see him) and Constrictor. That Human Torch body is really tired as far as I'm concerned. Yellowjacket overall is cool but that body has to be retired.

[mikado67]

found out my local tru had wave 11...nothing left then tried my wallyhell and found ben rielly and carngae and all 3 of the new 2 packs...wow the sentry looks bad

[darkart99609]

Does any one want to trade a loose Mary Jane and Ms.Lion for my loose Archangel?

I give up on finding her or any figure in that wave.

 

Archangel’s brand new with an unopened file card and his stand.

It’s regular Archangel by the way.

 

PM if your willing to trade.

[darkart99609]

Hey Wolverine2201.

I just got denied a reply to your PM.

I got a dialog that said “Cannot send another PM until October 23rd at 9:30 PM”???

 

Anyway that’s all I need. I’ll send it out on Monday.

Thanks again!

[wolverine2281]

no prob

[SKETCH]

Found more ML 2 Packs today and picked up a Agent Helix for a custom. Anyone looking for anything from the 2 Pack Pm me.

[RandomlyWicked]

Found the new Greatest Battles two-packs in Madison, WI. I grabbed the Sentry and left the Thor and Cap packs.

[Mousesi2k]

Found these today at my local TRU (951. So Cal). Passed on the Iron Man / Thor as I have both of these figures already.

 

Also bought this pack on clearence for $3.48!! Gonna be used for Multiple Man =)
