65 bucks now. It's not the end of the world for me not to have them for cheap, but I appreciate the effort.
"Big boots! No pants!" Gwendolyn Poole finally arrived today and she is Unbelievable! Kinda want to pick up Batroc ze' leaper now to display next to her. The MAFEX Gwenpool would be nice, but for like 1/10th the price the Marvel Legends one is pretty sweet, and having her in hand I'm o.k. with not having an unmasked head with anime eyes and pink tipped hair. And just a reminder, she is neither a Gwen Stacy or another Lady Deadpool. Speaking of actual Deadpools however, I finally took out the Deadpools out of their clam shells and read up a little bit on them. I appreciate them more after getting a backstory on each one, and boy if I was a Deadpool fan I'd be gushing with my 5-6 Deadpools. They are all pretty neat and all really nice figures. The Mad Cap Deadpool has butterfly shoulders. I like this set up so I have three distinct characters instead of two Wade Wilsons and a girl Wade Wilson. I just tell myself- Zombie Headpool succeeded in decapitating Deadpool and taking over his body. Mad Cap, no relation to Deadpool and loves X-Men paraphernalia. Wanda Wilson in her own universe and doesn't go by "Lady Deadpool", just "Deadpool" true identity Wanda Wilson in her universe has no idea there is a male version of her.
I appreciate the heads up, even if I missed it. As I said, if I really wanted the pack, I'd have paid more for it, but it was just the chance to get it while it was essentially the price of two figures that was appealing. On the plus side, with the means and free time, I finished Christmas shopping today (well, still have to pick up a gift card, no big deal), and at Walgreens, they had Magik(s), so I picked one up. I've thought about bringing it up, I figure I'm not alone in someone who likes Marvel Legends, but hasn't actually read Marvel in years. I personally gave up on Marvel twice, once from Event Fatigue when they had Civil War, House of M, etc. One big event crossover after another (and stopped publishing all the titles I liked), then again when, well, Jane Foster got Mjolnir. Haven't gone back since. So I don't know who Magik is beyond her Wikipedia article. I got her for two reasons: her ton of accessories and that she does look cool.
Walmart and azon must be price matching each other, because Amazon went to 65 at the same time Walmart did on that 3-pack. Mark VII Iron Man is basically 50% off right now, another example of me preordering because I thought it would be hard to find, only to have paid twice as much as what it eventually went for.
I had really debated on whether I should buy the new Ghost Rider - I'm glad that I did though. It won't surpass my Danny Ketch ToyBiz ML, since I heart that version, but it does look nice on display with some of my other GR bikes.
The rider of the spaceways Surfer is a great figure. Only one thing I don’t like is that is flat hands don’t stay in his wrists very well
wal-mart ****ery yesterday, i should have taken pics of, a bald X-23, a typhoid mary head on a body i don't recognize with a apocalypse arm instead of spider bot and there was one more crazy return that i can't remember at the moment...
Well that's the craps. If you see them again, take a pic. I always hate to see things like that, especially because some people feel justified in do it. Buncha dorks.
To preorder Silver Sable or, wait for $10 on Amazon... I feel halfway dumb ordering Killmonger and CW Panther. I’ll say, I’m enjoying all of these under $12 figures. Grabbed Shatterstar tonight.
I ordered the Shatterstar also, didn't plan on it, but I got Domino and Cable absurdly cheap already... and I see myself falling further down the Marvel Legends hole but I don't stop myself LOL. Wonder how many half**** completed teams I'm going to end up with since Hasbro keeps dragging everything out.
I feel the same way. I started with the gamerverse spider man, then the hulkbuster 2pack now I have like 30 of them I think I bought 6 in the last 2 days. Meijer having a buy 1 get 1 50% off doesn’t help
Hmm. Well, honestly you CAN get the majority of the team already. Iron Patriot, Daken, Sentry, and Ares all have figures. Just need a Hawkeye version of Bullseye and Moonstone in her version of the Ms. Marvel outfit. I personally don't count Noh-Var as he didn't stay with the team very long after finding out they were all really villains.
I'll admit to finding a little bit of humor in the figure swapping f#ckery pics. I know I shouldn't laugh though. It is pathetic. I think the amusing part of it is how clueless the store employees are. Maybe they just don't feel ok calling the customers out on it at the point of return.
It's more along the lines of even if you do notice you stop giving a shit, because the customer will just bitch for a manager until you get them one. THEN you're really up shit creek, because managers don't want to be bothered for "petty things" and will 99.9% of the time. Oh, and if you actually called out the customer be prepared for a write up or "coaching", because you essentially accused the customer of theft. You basically learn to just be a good little drone and not question the stupid shit. Think it's frustrating for collectors? Imagine working there, knowing you'd like to do something about it, but realizing that if you attempt to you'll probably get shot down and written up by management. That said; these things aren't supposed to go back on the shelf... they're obviously screwed up... they're supposed to go to claims and be written off as damaged merchandise and either returned to the manufacturing company for credit with said company or it gets it's information taken down for our insurance company and destroyed or given to a charity.
I watched the current ML Venom dip to like $13 around Thanksgiving time and I still couldn't bring myself to get him. Actually it sold out at a few spots and went back to $20-20+ by the time I gave it anymore thought. I highly doubt it but if that wave ever takes a plunge in prices I will be all over it to get the monster Venom BAF. Not really sure about the Marvel Select Venom, first I've heard about/seen him.
All this Venom talk makes me wonder if we'll see the rest of the symbiotes. Agony, Riot, and Phage (And Hybrid)? I don't want to believe they'd just do Scream and Lasher and not finish the 'team'.
