Nice to see the tariff statement for you poor buggers up online.
May be less than expected or if things change we may fuck you up a bit more by sliding in the tariff dildo a couple of extra inches into your ass thanks to the fact that no-one has any real idea what the fuck is going on.
What a shit show for the purchasers and the sellers . You poor fuckers .( am serious)
Anyway, I'm going back to my sunbed now and will keep looking for bargains and next year's holiday...

I've been amazed at the beast/hybrid figures that are coming out. Stor4orsemen have put out some god stuff.
Man, I've preordered these two AGES ago. Whenever they come in, I'll post pics ASAP. BTW, for the thread, I got a message on a different preorder from Sideshow that going forward, they're going to add on tariff surcharges

Coworker asked me to take a look at some comic books for her. I’m gonna pick out which ones I want to buy from her by reading all of these this week and choosing my favs.
Well, the two Conans are a must have for me although I probably have them already.

I used to pour over those Marvel Handbooks. Had complete collections of the first and second runs.
The Conan and West Coast Avengers are good.
Secret Wars II was ok (prefer the 1st series).

My impressions of the set.
Mini figs:
The Thing sucks. Just no two ways about it. A big fig would have been "better", but still not right. They would need to do a complete new mold to do him justice. Grade - F
Mr Fantastic is mixed. Without the leg extensions I really like him. The leg extensions however are ass. They don't fit right and look goofy. I do give them credit for trying though. Grade C+
Invisible Woman is good. The only downgrade being the torso is the same as Johnny, Reed, AND the Thing. They got lazy here. Still like her though. Grade B
Human Torch I think they nailed. I look at him and go yep, that's Johnny. The smiling face is perfect for him. The only thing that would have been a cool extra would be a "flame on" head. Grade A
The main attraction:
Galactus - This is a solid fig, and I'm being literal here. Very well designed and has some good posablity, especially in the arms. Only real downside is the stickers being so big that it's easy to get off and them not looking right. The chest circle should have been printed. Grade A
Overall I'm happy with the set for what I paid for it. I really think at $50 the value would be there, or keep it at $60 IF they changed up the Thing with a new mold or even as a big fig.
If they ever decided to do a UCS of Galactus I would be all in.

^ To cheer you up .
Despite being on holiday I ended up buying this...damn internet whilst sat by the pool..
Discounted and more cash off thanks to Lego points . About $101 .
Will go well with my dragon hopefully.
Tmrw we're going to a nearby village that has a proper toy shop selling genuine kit . Where we're staying is a bit fun for toys , it's stuff branded as Lego Avengers on the box and having a figure of Robin inside . Or a figure of batman and the packet labelled as ' Superhero figure type person' .

Really stupid but I went to a shop packed with Lego and the only things I walked out with is....
2 Playmobil Greek Gods figures out of a set of 12...
Not exactly Marvel Legends, Transformers, Monster High or Lego but I saw those , always enjoyed history and mythology and was like " yup ".
