  1. finally finally. wow what a nice surprise when i woke up this morning and i saw that awesome masterpiece. its about time spidey villains get some love. specialy the big ones. now bring me stegron and i was thinking hydroman would make an awesome huge villain with nice water effects. i am so happy to get this figure. even though i have a nice rhino but this one tops him without a doubt. sure knees suck a little but what the heck. cant freaking wait. its been 3 years i havent got anything descent for my spidey collection. thats a long time. thanks to hasbro and green goblins and venoms. marvel select really delivers.

  2. i blame hasbro. now that the movie is well received, everyone will want them. who doesnt want the first bigscreen avengers team in their collection? exclusives are ok for one figure but not an entire set. thats my opinion. these will be very hard to find because scalpers will camp at walmart just to resell these. if bbts asks 200 bucks then guess what prices ebay will have..... forget it. i am out and i stay with the 3 3/4 figures. i am ok with them. hasbro fucks it up one more time and will blame it on us the little niche costumers again.

  3. i read the first tp yesterday. so the new spidey is the prowlers nephew??? lol, kind of happy i stoped getting into ultimate comics. hasbro here is the time to mess things up and do a tarantula screw up. that way he would be in scale at least.

     

    belmont you are so right. how long does spidey fans have to wait until we get something out of hasbro that is actually not a venom, green goblin or a spiderman variant? its his 50th birthday this year but it doesnt seem to get any attention from hasbro.

  4. are you seriously worried that Walmart is not making enough money?

     

     

    no its just that most of the time people call shops ripoffs and such just because the price is a little higher in one then in the other. i just think that isnt really fair. ok some comic shop who ask double or triple for marvel legends variants are idiots. i have a comic shop but i dont ask more for a variant as the regular price. its lame to do something like that. shops have a lot of costs. its not as simple as most think it is. walmart can go out of buisness to. where i live, 3 great and well known shops in germany closed and went bankrupt because the economy went downhill. a lot of people order online now and the shops are missing these people to. its getting hard to survive out there. i can understand that like everyone (me included) wants the best price but sometimes it doesn't hurt to pay a buck more if the shop deserves it. i mean if service and everything is ok, why not :-)

  5. wow and i thought i was crazy with 80usd for the black widow/winter soldier 2 pack, lol

     

    ouch.. I just got one for $38 shipped but it was variant pack. I paid retail plus tax plus shipping.

     

     

    i got the black version of black widow. it is hard to find. no one has it. most of the time i see the grey version at a good price but the black version is nowhere to be seen.

  6. i cannot believe people on here are bashing this guy for this. hasbro has already been paid by walmart before the figures were in the store. sure he got them by switching prices which is wrong but after all what walmart as well as other stores do with the ridiculous markups they charge us is just as wrong. if you want to treat this guy like a criminal why not treat the retail stores the same way. they steal from us by charging ridiculously high prices and some people do the same by switching the prices to something more reasonable. just bury this thread already because everyone has done this or something similair in their lives.

     

    wow, do you even know when a shop doesnt makes enough money then it closes? jobs are on the line and i doubt that you can find a job on the next corner right now. any shop buys things from mattel, hasbro, jakks and so on to sell them at a regular price. if they sell them for half of, do you think that they earn much with it?? lets say you have to pay a paycheck of 1000usd. you earn 5 bucks when you sell a figure. you have to sell 200 figures just to cover one paycheck. i doubt that will happen. once i thought like you but since i have my own shop, it isnt that easy at all. dont know how walmart works but they also have to make money or they are out of buisness. as for reasonable prices, mattel is far worse. dcuc was around 15 usd at shops. now that mattel sells them on their own, one would think that it gets cheaper since there is no middle man like walmart but they ask 20usd on mattycollector for one figure. shipping not included. shops arent that bad if you ask me. no heat, just discussing it.

  7. i cant get any coupons so i am ok with the figures. i can even deal with scale as long as they arent to small like tarantula was. i just want great character selection and they did a good job with the 2 waves right now. i just hope to get some spiderman related figures in the line like

     

    -chameleon

    -tombstone

    -hammerhead

    -menace

    -stegron

    -scarecrow

    -vermin

    -jackal

    -scarlet spider

     

    i have enough of venom and green goblins.

     

    Dont forget Kane, befor he was the new spider-man, and the new one.

     

     

    ohh yeah kaine is a must have but his classic look. the scarlet spider kaine is ok but i want him like the classic version. there are so manny classic characters that are in the books right now that it is amazing we dont get more out of it. i would even be happy with that red vulture right now. how about the new hobgoblin?? we have big time spiderman....

  8. i cant get any coupons so i am ok with the figures. i can even deal with scale as long as they arent to small like tarantula was. i just want great character selection and they did a good job with the 2 waves right now. i just hope to get some spiderman related figures in the line like

  9. where does right starts and wrong ends? i must say i loved this thread. it was like we were all part of the csi, lol. i dont believe there was much heat around here just how most see things. clam is right that me included, i would have done the same but i would have told even if it would be my best friend that he has to stop when i am around. he can do it on his own. i wouldnt have called someone on him. at leats you called the store i wouldnt even have done that. i wasnt a nice guy either in my youth but i learned very quick thats not the way to go and i changed fast in my life. i hope your friend will see it one time to before it is to late :-)

  10. why should the cashier get the blame? something was stolen. thats a crime that shouldnt have taken place. so it starts there. a lot of products are discounted to and not everyone knows the difference about marvel or dc or neca. i havent been to any walmart or target in my life but i doubt that they just sell 5 items. i know that i always check my screen but sometimes you dont pay attention when someones talking to you or you get distracted somehow.
