  1. Thanks for the kind words, both of you.

     

    When I attempted sand, I painted a base coat of sand-colored paint, and then while it was still good and wet I sprinkled actual sand on it thoroughly. (I used purchased diorama sand to get more uniform and cleaner particles - the finest/smallest size they had.) Then I painted over that with another thin layer of sand-colored paint, and then sealed with dullcote.It's solid as a rock, too.

    PP! That is awesome.

    Dullcoat works magic on figures. Can you link me to what brand you used for Dull coat?

  2. i've got like 6 comic sentinels at the tj maxx i work at. just shelf warming. so cal area. i would pick them up and ship them but i don't have the funds to :/. PM for the location if you're interested

     

    I'm glad i've never see more than one sentinel at one time at my TJmaxx's. Or else i'd pick them all up.

    These showing up at these stores are like diamonds in the rough.

  3. Yesterday was insane. Ive been trying to get juggernaut, single thanos, hulk, wolverine and captain america off ebay for months now. I never saw them in stores. Been thinking about making a custom dr octopus and venom because Ive never seen them in stores either.

     

    Well yesterday, i was at a ROSS and wondered into the toy section. Nice classic lookin cap america (with parachute) for $6. Went to TRU, blown away. They had a venom and doc oc from the amazing spiderman line. Plus hulk single and in two packs with wolverine. I got the venom and doc ock. Went to target to buy some storage bins, wandered to the toy section and BOOM JUGGERNAUT!! i snatched him from the pegs and right behind him was THANOS!! I cant believe this. lol arent they too old to be instores?

     

     

    And this is why Hasbro provides rev cases - to give enjoyment to those who are new to the line and want to catch up.

    Congraulations on your finds!!

     

    Sucks for the us who have been collecting this line for awhilenow, but great for the passionate newer collectors!

  4. Wow, the original Iron Man movie line. Hasbro really cleaning out the closet getting ready for Iron Man 3.

     

    Those are not from the first IM movie. They are the later waves of the Iron Man 2 line renamed under the Iron Man the Armored Avenger toyline.

     

    And they are not old. They have been showing up at Marshall's/TjMaxx here and tehre for the past couple of months now.

     

    Great find none the less if you're into IM armors.

  5. At least you guys are finding stuff. The 2 closest Wal Marts have the same 10 Dr Strange for months now. Everytime I go to the one closest to my house, I ponder buying the lone FF set with clear Sue among the stack of GoG sets, but it's always still there when I go back, so no rush in getting that one. Maybe this is how it looks when a specific Wal Mart is no longer carrying MU. Target has the same Psylocke wave for months, too.

     

    Dude...if you have one already then no rush. But if you're on teh fence of getting a sue storm... then as might as well. Cuz the one day you decide to get it...then it'll be gone. Happens to me everytime...that situation happens.

    I found the remnants of a W21 case (Spiderman, SS, Psylocke, IP etc...) and a lonely Jubilee (i assume since the card was all bent and messed up). Jubs was the Only one i picked up.

     

    Bahhh!!! Last night on the drive to the family's house I stopped at a Walmart in northern indiana. I saw a psyloche and a silver surfer with a few others. It didn't even hit me that this was part of the new wave until reading this post. I'm shocked they got to this area so quickly.

     

     

    I'll stand corrected. More power to ya if you have other local stores that have the wave.

     

    where at? I stopped in the Niles, Mi store (right on the Indiana line bascially) and saw the same thing two days ago - except I grabbed Miles Morales from there that day

     

    It actually was the Niles store, I grew up there and found the Gigantic battles set clearanced last year on a visit so I always hit them up when I'm heading to South Bend.

    Trying to maximize sales for Black Friday. As might as well have product in...ya know.

     

    JUst too bad that they are only showing up at walmart.

  9. found Kraven today and another white Spidey for a custom.

     

    Now I only need Beta Ray Bill to be all caught up with the stuff that is at retail

     

     

    I wish i was a patient you were with finding stuff at retail.

    Mad props. I think there's a BRB sitting in one of my stores...let me know if you're interested (retail plus ship)...unless you're adamant about finding one at retail.

     

     

  10. What's the deal with the Falcon/Cap 2 pack's Cap paint app? I understand they're trying to create the shading effect, but it looks pretty terrible. Only Nightcrawler should have the shade effect in dark black. It looks like he's all greased up after a long afternoon working on the Cap-mobile in the Cap-garage...

     

    It's supposed to mimic the shading exactly as the comic included. Horrible idea but even worse two pack in general.

    Worthless two pack to me, But i bought one for the sake of completionism...

  11. Anyone here have the Marvel Legends Showdown Doctor Octopus? I just want to know if its worth buying. I have that custom one I made outta the new spidey line Doc Oct but I like the classic look the best and maybe I can switch out the arms.

     

     

    It's pretty cool. He's good stand in until they make a real MU version of him. The body is great, but the arms are a fail. I pretty much took them off and cannibalized two of the new ASM doc oct figures for their arms.

     

     

    While making the newer and improved one....one the Showdown doc oc legs broke off. : ( superglued it but now i have to be super careful. The legs are attached differently compared to MUs.

  13. Made the rounds this weekend to the suburbs and met my quota for Sentinels. I roam in the southwest mainly.

     

    Welcome aboard.

    Costco Quinjet looks amazing. Paint scheme is way better. Course my boy was cool with the $21 price tag at WM. Plus Costco is over an hour away north of Houston. I miss the Washington State days with Costcos on every corner (next to the 4 Starbucks) and I miss that thing called 4 seasons too. Snow... Cold weather... Breathable air...

     

     

    But I can't complain about 4 Targets, 5 Walmarts, 2 ToysRUs', 2 Marshalls, 2 TJ Maxx's, 3 Ross' within 10 mins of driving. Not bad for wasting gas and finding Gladiators and Absorbing Men...

     

    There is a Costco at Richmond and Weslayan in town

     

    And now that i think of it there is also one on I-10 at Bunker Hill - also in town

     

     

    huh...i feel like i've never seen it all the times i've been the i10 bunker hill area...

    then again i dont have a costco card soooo....

     

     

     

    sooo did you find anything good mrparsons...? how many sentinels did you find?

     

    Only time if found Sentinels was the time at Marshalls, a week before my boy's Bday back in late July. CLUTCH!

     

    Haven't seen one since. Negatory Ross, TJ Maxx, or Marshalls.

     

    GERRILLIUS and skrab0415 Thanks for the head's up on the Costco's though. It's about 45-60 mins from my home. Are you guys all in town? I'm in the League City area.
