You may have had a different set to us possibly, it's a 6 figure set and had Vindicator and no Guardian and there is no Sasquatch in the box or , like you , I would have bit on it a good time ago now....

For some reason I thought there was maybe a 3 or 4 figure set that had Sasquatch in it.

I still might have jumped on that just because of Puck.
 
Went to a Comic Con in Oshkosh, Wisco today.... they had a MINE doll for sale. It had a tear in the back, but.....but..... dealer wanted 300 and admitted he paid 25 bucks for it. I really never considered buying it....but I thought it was super cool.

Last week, after visiting a Manitowoc flea market and 2 oversized rummage sales (including a vintage toy heavy one in a barn *vibes*) my cousin twisted my arm and we went to the area's (probably Wisconsin's) best vintage toy store in Sheboygan. Best score there was this thing, which I snagged for 55 bucks.

There was a comic con in Oshkosh today? How the hell did I not hear about this? I usually see tons of posts on FB about these.
 
today i finally unboxed my Hot Toys Spider-Punk (AtSV) but could not get the masked head sculpt onto the neck peg to save my life. i tried the each of the go-to methods multiple times—hairdryer, boiling water, brute force—until i reached a point where i’d end up damaging the figure if i went a step further. the heat methods were particularly useless because the socket in the head is a hard plastic like ABS instead a softer POM plastic. bummers all around.

i put in a “broken/damaged” help ticket at sideshow, but i kinda expect them to just send another ball joint peg, if they even bother to do anything at all. TBD i suppose

I think Sideshow will take care of you. I don't think any company can afford to damage their own reputation in these "interesting" economic times. Please keep us posted.
 
What are the chances some company like Hasbro will sell adult buyers figures, but deliver them when these "interesting" economic times are in the past? Something like Pile of Loot?

I have figures from years ago I haven't gotten around to opening yet. A bit worried about my HasLab Rattler.

Marvel Legends livestream this week, I think.

I thought I saw on Japanese Gunpla export sites replacement neck dumbbell pegs for sale. Not sure if I'm getting confused with eBay 3D printing offerings or actual Japanese toy makers selling dumbbell pegs.

I'm not worried about Hasbro. I have a rattler on order too and there were no tariffs when they cashed my check. They'll hold up their end.

I suspect payment date is irrelevant and I fear Hasbro might not be a honorable as you view them.

The way I see it, they have two options..

A: Hold up their end of the deal as agreed

or

B: Face the ire of EVERYONE who funded the Rattler in record-time.

I just checked my order, and they still have it at the agreed price with free shipping as I was a pulse member at the time.

If they renege, that will devastate their "exclusive" advantage. Put it this way... MacFarlane hasn't even mentioned tariffs and he's a collector himself and we can always order direct from Japan/China.

I've a feeling they'll eat any tariffs to honor the agreed upon purchases and anything after that, they'll inform the buyer in bright red flashing font.

No figures today , picked up some pins/ badges for a friend who is in hospital. Looked at new Lego Spiderman magazine , Miles Morales figure and I'm not fussed by him so left it.

Did loads of nerdy shops before visiting sicknote and came away with 12 copies of Judge Dredd Megazines , 2 copies of marvel Conan the Barbarian, one a reprint and The Walking Dead omnibus 5 and Deathlok book 1 .

Street Fighter Vega is in stock but I have it ordered with 2 other figures so I have to wait....
 
On reddit, I saw ML leaked pics of I'm guessing movie Human Torch and the feet of MvC Wolverine and Silver Samurai, where I already have the retro card Silver Samurai.

Seen rumours of Juggernaut and some tentacle monster thing which should please Strychnine with his fetish ....


And the sheer numbers of Wolverines ( and Spidey's/ Ironman ) that come out I find as a bit meh. I know they're popular characters but even so....
 


So , 6 x Fantastic Four figures , the four members and a flame on Human Torch and Silver Surfer .

Okay, but not my bag .

Loads of Marvel Vs Capcom / Gamerverse two packs ( might pick up if prices drop ) and....

Juggernaut, bigger than previous

Gargantos the tentacled sea monster...

Those two I'm interested in...
