  1. Finally somewhere outside of Texas. Fingers crossed they make it to California soon.
  2. Gwendolyn "Gwen" Poole. She started as a mashup of Deadpool and Gwen Stacy in variant covers, but when she got her own story she is not Gwen Stacy at all.
  3. Saw it, the guy actually had two. I almost pulled the trigger but exclusives seem to be pretty easy to find around my area.Yup, same guy! We were probably there at the same time. I almost picked up the SDCC Exclusives Mrtvel Universe Sentinel and Galactus
  4. I saw it at a toy show over the weekend. No sticker on it. $30, kicking myself in the ass for not picking it up.
  5. Lol, similar encounter. I went to a Target where they had just put out the GOTG wave. As I was walking up the aisle I passed a guy leaving the area. Clearly he was another collector but he didn't have anything in his hands but he was acting kinda nervous & shifty. Obviously he had just stashed something. So after looking thru the pegs where they had put out at least 2 casses, I find there was no Angela, of course. So I kinda waited for the kid to leave so I could start hunting for his treasure, but he never really did. He left the aisle for a minute or two but he kept coming by, pacing the area, just generally hanging around. This bothered me cuz I'm wondering what the hell he's doing. Either he can afford what he just stashed or he can't. Was he just gonna stand guard until some cash magically fell from the sky. So after a few minutes of this crap I start searching blatantly in his face. I mean he had no right to it than any other customer, but I had cash. It took me about 5 seconds to find his stash behind the IM/War Machine 2 packs that had been there for months. What really bugged me was not only had he stashed Angela, he had stashed 2. Typically it's not part of my own code to buy up all the HTF's but I made an exception this time cuz that's so messed up & I wanted him to see the consequences of being a stingy douche. The look on his face was priceless. Rookie. You don't stash in the same general area where the product is displayed. You go to areas where most fanboys don't go, like cleaning supply or feminine hygiene products. And most of all, don't be greedy.Right? As an adult collector you either have money, or you shouldn't really be in the hobby if you can't afford surprise figure finds. I think with this figure in particular, there seems to be some kind of nervous embarrassment due to how revealing her attire is, which makes the faint of heart second guess a purchase. But hey Target has self checkout now! Good story! On a side note, I briefly met Shartimusprime at a toy show in San Jose today. I know he gets a lot of flack for his supect questions to the devs, but he seemed a good dude. I met him today too! Real cool dude!It was a good day. Picked up Guardians EE box set for $55 and Dormammu BAF for $45.Nice. I didn't get anything for me, but picked up a SDCC Katana doll for my daughter for $60

  7. haha I've noticed the same thing. Lots of complaints about scalpers and yet they are selling Cyclops and Colossus for $35+. Even after shipping it's still higher
  8. I've seen the first Guardians of the Galaxy movie Groot wave at a couple stores and according to brickseek most stores have them too. It's odd that they're getting re-released. Especially at $23.99 each!
  9. That was fan made. Dwight did say though that the figure is of his suit from the movie.
  10. I agree! Very happy with the the reveals. I'm glad we got pictures of them all! I wonder how long before we get a classic Scorpion figure now?
  11. It's weird that the only core A-Force team members from that box set are She-Hulk and Singularity. In the first run during Secret Wars, I believe they all had an appearance though (for sure Lady Loki did). Elsa Bloodstone was in the last few issues of Volume 2. I actually enjoyed both runs.
  12. Just saw the sandman wave at target for the very first time. Elk Grove.
  13. MantecaNot sure if anyone remembers, but I was on before as MCUcollector17 but lost access for some reason
  14. Did anybody catch Marvel's Facebook Live stream??? Guardians Wave 2 looks great!
  15. I have mine ordered. I remember the Civil War 3 pack was an early Exclusive for them last year too and I received mine in July.
  16. And most importantly, you clocked the entire wave in one fell swoop! That's the best feeling to have with "figure search"! CONGRATULATIONS!Thanks! There was another collector there that picked up the other case they received. He had a buddy that came a little later and I passed off the other Old Man Logan to him. Had to dig through their pallet on the sale floor. The manager didn't like that at all, but I got the figures so I'm happy.
