Picked up an Avengers Red Skull. I wasn't going to get it. I missed out on the SDCC Red Skulls that were being ebay'd out of China, but I had the Cap version that was sort of satisfactory. The reason I got it was because my Cap version didn't have the cromagnon brow that he sports in the comics. Its kinda a big deal :)

Just picked up an extra Dagger and ABomb if anyone needs them...just let me know... Also, if anyone has extras of any of these I'd be much obliged: - Xavier - Leader - Blastaar - Angel - Green Goblin - Loose Clear Sue (or entire 3 pack) - Loose Adam Warlock - Daredevil Bullseye 2 Pack - Rogue X-Men pack Wait is this not the BTS thread :) Sorry about that...I'll try to update my signature...

I, as well, have a huge hole in my collection that only can be filled by a hover chair :) Please, please shoot me a PM if anyone comes across any extra Xaviers, too

Yeah its redic...I work in transportation/logistics and there's no way that a single carded figure weighs enough to justify $8 even if its shipped completely across country...especially since they absolutely have contracted rates with their carrier (ups I think?). I get that they try to motivate you to buy additional items to save on shipping, but I can't believe that more than 5% of their orders are for multiple items. It makes it look like a revenue stream...

Dagger's up...fyi

Just thought I'd ask...has anybody picked up an extra Cloak (or Prof X for that matter)? I picked up an extra Aurora and Dagger fig...let me know if anyone could use them...even if you don't have a Cloak :)

Thanks Jason. I was hoping to get Abomination (one of my favorites as a kid), but being that you're so awesome to everybody here...helping people out all the time...I'll totally throw them your way for the Angel/Cloak. Now I just gotta find another ABomb/Dagger for myself :) Anybody seeing Abominations or Grey Hulk in stores at all? I have a sneaky suspicion that I missed them...

Surprised to find a Dagger and ABomb at target just now. I'm plesantly surprised at how nice ABomb is. Dagger is ok...at least she has a good face paint app. Average figure in my opinion. Has anyone found Abomination/Cloak? I'm willing to trade these if anyone has extras. Still looking for the new Grey Hulk, Prof X, Angel, and the old Green Goblin for that matter :) Sorry...went on a b/t/s tangent

If Hasbro's giving them to Kohls, too, the its only a matter of time before we see them at TJMaxx...that, or singled out in a Black Friday multi pack...

Conversely...even though Ultimate Cap and 616 Cap are different people...I consider them interchangeable...even though I hate the painted wings on him (and on movie Cap, new 616 Cap, etc...but that's neither here nor there :)

I consider AoA Nightcrawler a different character than 616 Nightcrawler... I even consider grey Hulk a different character even though they're the same person...because its more than just a costume change. Like regardless which Wolverine you prefer (tiger stripe, brown/tan, x-force, astonishing, etc...) its basically just a skin change. Old Man Logan would be a different character though. I can't really explain it...

Does anybody know how the Marvel Knights and Aboms are getting released? If its the same way they handle variants, I'm scared I'll miss out on someone... ...also, has anyone seen any extra Prof X's or Angels in the wild? Weird how these Jubliees are peg warming. I've seen a surprising amount of Novas too...

Thanks for the link...looks like a solid set. I'll probably pass though. Even though the Mark 42 and RDJ figures are exclusive, its too movie-ish for me.

Thanks CharrdWood...I was able to snatch up 1 of each (though it says it's not supposed to ship out until September 16th...maybe its just a preorder). Now just need to track down Prof X, Angel, and possibly Nova and I'm up to date!!

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...
