LOL. I know I'm right, I get that question a couple times a week.

Bloody favouritism, we can't get half the stuff Strychnine puts up on offer and I can't even get an odd figure with a damn subscription! Bloody racist colonials ! They chuck a couple of boxes of tea in some harbour a few years ago and now deny me my rights to get Marvel Legends figures.....

Right, that's it , no British dental work or British cuisine for you lot now!!!

Never saw the ML Beyonder up for pre-order at all.

this sound familiar to any of y’all?:
so, you go to Target w/ your spouse/partner/lady friend/whatever, right? you walk in together, of course, & she stops at the lil corner section w/ the 99¢ stuff that is housed right at the entrance (this habit is a guaranteed lock for her—never know when there’s gonna be something cute!). no sooner had she stopped at Target’s junk sanctuary when you think you might’ve heard your name being called off in the distance… but who can say for certain because you’re legit already halfway across the store, casually tearing down the aisles in a beeline for the toy section like a goddamn majestic retail stallion. asking for a friend of course.

totally unrelated:
the ML sections at 2/2 local Targets are desiccated wastelands, but still happy w/ some of these pickups today. the two McFarlane DC figs were pure unchecked impulse buys because i don’t give a rats ass about DC for the most part



(got the set now)

That's a good pull on that Reverse-Flash. If you see a "platinum edition" sticker on a MacFarlane figure, those are limited to around 3,000 pieces.... I think.

Oh , you fucker , I'm sat in the car in a supermarket car park and that got me laughing. Luckily my wife rarely comes shopping with me as I see it as my role as the hunter of the family to brave the wilds of Tesco/Target/Wherever and get the shopping especially as it's my cash pays for it. If a little toy should happen to fall into the trolley then qué sera qué sera....


Annoyingly though, the supermarket I tend to use has outsourced their toy section now and it's shit . No Lego , crap Marvel stuff etc . They used to have some good bargains occasionally like Lego Wolverine for about $15 as well as the full priced stuff .

I also don't really care about DC , I think I have one figure , the Hawkman which is cool , and I'll get the Lego Batmobile at some stage although it really needs Robin with it .

 

[Batjester]

Well shit, got my Lego Atari in today but the picture is too large. Let's just say this thing is going to flipping rule!

Question that's semi-relevent to the topic: does anybody know good eBay alternatives? I'm prepping a bunch of stuff for sale (including my Might Max sets) and just went to list something and apparently average joes can no longer sell stuff. My account is more than 20 years old and I've sold multiple items in the past, but there is a new 1-item and $10 limit per-month for 'new sellers.' Which is horseshit. Anybody can buy, but they've now made it so only businesses can sell.

Craigslist appears to be largely dead and I hate Facebook, but even if I hold my nose and list on FBM I live in a rural area of New England so the market here is deep as a puddle. Basically, I need ebay without the new ebay restrictions.

You get fee free weekends or discounted weekends possibly?

You could try www.bookoo.com It's like an online rummage sale. I can't speak on the pricing or anything though as I've never bought/sold, but just browsed.

I appreciate the suggestion, but unfortunately there are no markets for any of the northern NE states, and the one in Mass appears to have zero listings. Seems like its just not a thing around here.

Not that I can see. A quick google shows that maybe you can get your limit increased if you contact customer service directly.

Apparently there's a new SHF base Vegeta and Goku from the new cartoon/manga and not chibi kid versions but somewhat softer less muscle bulging versions. Description said new tooling. Haven't opened the SSJ Vegeta yet to see if it came with base black hair head. I first started watching DBZ around the time Future Trunks arrived and Vegeta couldn't go SSJ yet, so I might need to order this new one.

Seems Target and Walmart have their SHF DBZ figures sell fast since I don't see them on the shelves very long.

Don't forget that it's already posed, so think of it as a statue.

Picked up Luke Skywalker Lego Mech figure today and as there was a good deal on I also got the small Lego Simba Lion King.

Just dropped a fair bit of cash on comics for the next few months too and found issue 100 of the Marvel Conan the Barbarian from 1979 at a decent price and decent quality.

Mercari is good for sellers now, no fees so you can lower the price on items to sell faster. They do take a % when you take your profits out.

If the link doesn't work, just go to the deals of the day and use the menus on the left to narrow it down to action figures.

 

[GSP_37]

How much $ for each though?

Haven't really been seeing Amazon deal prices since a few years ago when I sorta haphazardly bought marginal characters because dirt cheap.
