Pulse is so much better than HTS. They called me about an hour ago to make sure that UPS was able to redirect my package.
I picked she and a few other figures up yesterday with their $5 bag discount for 20%, but haven’t cracked them open yet. I purchased a beta ray bill the night before the sale and passed on a scorpion, but when I went back the next day, scorps was gone and a search didn’t have him at any store close by. At least the clerk let me return & rebuy the beta ray so I could get it with the deal... Wait, no blue font on a comment about pulse being better than hts? Edit... don’t know why prior embedding didn’t take timestamp to start at 2 secs (ie: &t=0m2s) so trying again as a test to better know in the future: (Well, I guess I now know that syntax doesn’t work here)
What I found out is that certain employees are more than willing to call local stores to see if they have an item, and let you pay for it at the current store (with the discount) if you’re going to pick it up the same day. With popular/new items it might be a bit more tricky (I’m guessing), but if they’ve got the person on the phone and you plan to pick it up that day while they’re still on the clock, I’m thinking you’d be far less likely to have issues. The first time I did the $5 grab bag was in September of last year, where it was a pro day and the percentage was 40% if I remember correctly. It promoted me to sign up for the membership and then rack up (what a slippery road it’s been since). Fast forward to this week’s 20% off “deal” which essentially amounts to ~$1.25 less than what Walmart typically charges (when they have stock). Quite a far cry to how GameStop hooked me in nearly 10-months ago. Oh well, in any case, this is what I was able to pick up:
I wonder if they have any plans for a more modern comic style Punisher? Maybe in a bulletproof vest and trench coat.
I think it's likely since the last 616 Punisher we had was exclusive to Walgreens and the 2013 trench coat Punisher is very dated(uses that Ultimates Nick Fury buck with the old ankles and restrictive shoulder/hip joints).

I received this bad boy just yesterday too. Opened him up and the sculpt is quite impressive in hand. Just be careful removing him from the plastic tray since the ears on his stock head can get caught up in the tray (it's a tight fit) and bend with stress marks. Really like him even if the hinges on his wings can be a tad on the loose/wobbly side, same with his lower elbow/knee joints (typical Hasbro 6 inch figure quality, really). The shiny metallic silver of his wings is pretty cool too though it does a feel slightly oily to the touch (most likely mold release agent).
@nacho Thanks for answering my query. Wow.. SALES TAX.. I'm not really a Taxation Guy but still makes my head scratch. Items being have tax included in it and there's another tax upon checkout. I'm kinda feeling it's "Double Taxation" of sort. Unless the SRP of the item have no tax in it. So the best way not to feel much weight of the Sales Tax is to buy many items? My sister's working address is in San Jose, California btw. She'll be picking up items. I just hope Amazon delivers the items are "Good Copy" So that the item will no longer be return. I hope in the airport she'll be allowed to hand carry the items so that the boxes will be spared from getting heavy dents when airport personnel throws them at the back of the plane. I'm worried of the "Horror Stories" of Baggage Handling in the Airports. Returning Back to the Legends, Some peeps here in our home got their hands on Cannonball. And customizers prefers Shatterstar's legs to replace Sam's blast effect lower torso.
Use an unmasked Cap for that body? As for the female quantum body, that will be a good stand-in for Nebula since I had a hard time getting her figure back then. So the waste heads there in the Quantum 2-pack is the Ant-Man and Iron Man head. I really don't know what's the good use for those heads.
