    They just gave foot draggers an early preview. It's a good set and people should pick it up before it's too late. I don't want to hear about "scalpers" a year from now.

    Also, my Jean-Logan-Scott set from Pulse showed up. I don't have the brown teeth problem but the way they painted her mouth still looks funny for some reason. Hasbro should also repair that female body mold because the thigh seams are getting pretty rough. We'll have to see if BBTS got a better batch when my other order shows up.

    I hate your Walmart, mine doesn't clearance damaged or incomplete figures that low. the lowest clearance price I've seen is $12 and it's never something anyone wants... i waited two years to get prowler for $15 lol

    Yeah, got to agree about that intro. I do the same.

    I also skip around quite a bit for Pixal Dan videos. I just... can't.

    You don't like E-beggarimus Prime?

    He was worse in his old shit when he was clearly stoned.

    I have tried to watch a few videos, but I just can’t do it. Him and Sean Long puzzle me on how they have that many subscribers, but to each his own. I mainly collect vintage toys, so most of the vintage era reviewers act a lot different than those guys, plus they don’t get free stuff, they just review the figure.

    SL's voice gets to me.

    Youtube reviewers have cults. OMG HE HEARTED MY COMMENT. Social media is a joke.

    I do watch Shartimus videos, mostly for posing ideas. I never finish them and always downvote. I think he is a e-bum, though. Like Ben. His old toyhunt videos show him as a douche.

    I can't stand most YouTube reviewers. Just Bobby Skullface because of the gimmick and sometimes Pixel Dan because he at least keeps his hands out of the way and doesn't have irritating skits/songs.

    I'm a fan of Robo @ the Fwoosh. His reviews are good, he's funny but not annoying (IMHO), and down to earth.

    Ah I remember that time period fondly where Spidey, Wolvy, Hulk and Ghost Rider were temporarily filling in for the F4.



    Cap is like the worst 80th figure in terms of it being a store exclusive I have never ever found yet.
    Oddly I did bump into a Prowler that was clearenced out at $5.

    So the good news is that they didn't go with the shiny/pearlescent red for Vindicator.
    The bad news is that they still got the shade of red wrong so that she doesn't match Guardian.
    Still - getting the majority of Alpha Flight in one fell swoop = :thumbs2:

    Hopefully, your Amazon package handler is gentle - mine shipped in the white mailer box only. The packaging is nice enough that it's worth keeping. Thankfully, mine didn't get stomped on or anything.

    When it comes to action figure reviews Robo's my favorite by far. Very level-headed and fair in his reviews and has an overall really easy-going demeanor.

    Same. I also look to him for questions about scale.

    Awesome pic, they look great together. It is always nice to be able to complete a team in relatively short time. Only issue I would have with any of the Alpha Fight figures is that Guardian’s red does not match Vindicator’s darker red. Vindicator’s darker red looks more comic accurate, or at least to me it does.

    Yup. It started shipping out yesterday. Mine is arriving tomorrow... hopefully. Though if you're waiting, chances are this set will be clearanced during Christmas for between $60-$90. Happens ever year with the more expensive Marvel exclusives.

    Yeah, the darker red looks better to me.
    But at least it's just a shade difference rather than matte vs. shiny difference.

    If Hasbro want to give Guardian another go with a darker red and a less taking-a-dump-tastic facial expression, I'd be all for it.
