Odd hours is how I got my ML Alex Ross 80th anniversary Capt Am, Thor, Iron Man and maybe Capt Am and Thor I only saw another time elsewhere once. Also could have bought Colossus & Juggernaut 2 pack, but passed since Colossus' shoulders didn't look right. They need to re-use the AoA BAF Colossus for John Byrne era or Paul M. Smith era Colossus. I was just looking at pics where someone put the old ML Colossus with pants beard head on the AoA BAF and looked good.

Oh, I get it, believe me! I only get Hot Wheels and figures that I like. I'm not trying to make a score with any action figure I get.
Although some have really appreciated in value, so that I don't mind.
Sometimes I'm surprised when I see something that looks good and wasn't wiped out by scalpers. One was some Croatian maybe electric sportscar, one maybe some American lesser known car, a few were HW fantasy cars that looked like real life sportscars.Oh, I get it, believe me!

I saw someone a couple of days ago carrying a Lego bag when I was at work and had to ask him what he had - BTTF Delorean and an F1 car was the second pack I think. Suited and booted businessman and I asked him who it was for and he went " umm..." . Me - yea, I'm the same, it's SW and Marvel Lego for me...."

I remember when he got all powered up wayyy back in the day and took on the Avengers. He actually caught and stopped a hammer strike from Thor and the only way he got K.O.'d was when the Vision went a half mile above, maximized his density and dropped onto his head.
The strike registered on the Richter scale.
I THINK this might be the issue, but don't quote me. When Nefaria is written well? He's an absolute BEAST.

For Star Wars day Amazon has the big R2-D2 on sale for 30% off, only $167.99, which is a pretty dang good deal on this. At 2314 pieces, this is a great per brick value. Decided to jump on it for an early birthday present.

I liked when he was stealing the powers of the Lethal Legion, probably mid 90's?I remember when he got all powered up wayyy back in the day and took on the Avengers.

Don't know why, but I always dug his costume.

turns out the internet hype for the ML Rom figure is legit because this thing rules.

well played. i pity anyone who only grabs one & decides to keep it NRFB. in this case, having one to fuck around w/ is a must imo
I've got some like that , for example my ML Rhino will stay MOC probably but....it was a big and relatively expensive figure and I could only get one as that's all they had in stock . The cost on eBay etc is silly now to buy a second.
Some of the other figures I'll buy one of and leave on the card like Count Nefaria as I like the figure but he isn't one I really want to have out and posed ( okay , played with, fine) . If the price drops then I will pick another up and open it, whereas the black symbiote Spidey I have bought two of at full price because I want one displayed and one on card...same with the FF4 She Hulk...
And there's others like Green Goblin , Black Cat , Gambit and Rogue that I've managed to get one of but they are rare here and I couldn't bring myself to open them...
If I had read that issue, I might have had enough appreciation of that character to pre-order the figure.I remember when he got all powered up wayyy back in the day and took on the Avengers. He actually caught and stopped a hammer strike from Thor and the only way he got K.O.'d was when the Vision went a half mile above, maximized his density and dropped onto his head.

Also, a bit weird seeing Amazon with some older SW Black Series cheaper than newer TVC.

I snagged this one yesterday. This is the Neo Gothic Batman Beyond figure. I hadn't seen this variant before, so I had to pop on it.

At Don Quijote, apparently for Children's Day, or Boy's Day or Girl's Day, they brought in Bandai Namco branded Godzilla figures in boxes similar to Dragon Stars and Tekken size. I don't think I saw those before. They also had other Godzilla stuff in different scales.
At Walmart, saw a bunch of Jada Street Fighter Fei Long, Chun Li, Ryu... for $34+ each. Ouch.
