    So, when you go to the Target site, there are two ways to add an item to your cart. If you're browsing a list, there's an "add to cart" button that makes a cart screen slide in from the right. It lags for awhile because reasons, then shows "ship to store" and "ship it (home)." Those buttons are enabled but don't work. If you go into the individual listing, you get the same lag and two choices there too. Those buttons alternate between doing nothing and popping up "oops, out of stock." On what planet is having those buttons disconnected from inventory a bright idea, let alone having buttons just do nothing when clicked? All last week, the notification button on Skywarp/Thundercracker said "oops, something happened" when you try to subscribe. Overall the site is ridiculously laggy with a broken search engine that's differently stupid depending on the phase of the moon. Now I'm not going to buy the DVDs I had in my cart because it lured me away to an item it didn't want to sell.

    Understood. It was the "needful doer" that made me confused. But yeah, there are times where it's obvious a system is built by the lowest bidder.

    Oh, sorry. "Do the needful" is how overseas IT pushes its work onto other people. "Do the needful and reboot (because I can't/won't help you)."

    The Fantastic Four, at their core, is still the most silver-agey concept that Marvel has. Thought I would represent that with a Flash-style "Fantastic Four of Two Worlds!" style pic. :D

    That shot makes me realize putting a beard on Reed actually makes him look younger instead of older.

    lol, you're not wrong! So many younger people have beards now, but only older people have gray temples and a clean-shaven face. Looks like my uncle that way.

    I was able to preorder Maverick for $14.99 without the BAF piece. Dorkside even combined it with my other preorders.

    Can’t you drill a hole in the hip and side of the pelvis and pin it with plastic glue?

    You wouldn’t be able to really pose him below the belt but you could stand him up in the back row.

    Just drill out a little on the leg at the break and also where it broke on the pelvis and cut a piece of wire the appropriate thickness. Superglue the wire in the leg, then after it cures do a couple dry fits.
    Put some plastic glue around the wire on the leg and some around the hole on the pelvis. Quickly put a drop of superglue in the hole and put the leg back.

    Just be sure to be comfortable because you’re going to have to hold it several minutes before before you can let it stand up by itself. Probably a good idea to get a figure stand to hold it up for 24 hours and really set.

    Just heat up some water in the microwave and put the figure and parts of in, wait several minutes and they should pull apart.

    I've been tempted to get them as AOA is my favorite X Men storyline. Took a look over my comics recently and decided the figures do not match the aesthetic. Still hard to imagine an AOA line was released and I don't want it. If a final battle Magneto came out... I'd probably bite.
