I was really, really lucky in finding a Skrull from the first assortment, so I hope that luck holds. I can do without Dragon Man if I don't find him, but I want that Kang.

Thanks Brian.

I'm very interested in Kang and Dragon Man, but I'm guessing it'll be ebay again for me.  These won't make it up here and I've not ever run into them in the U.S. when I've been down.

I can't find any of the new Marvel Legends.  I want the variants, but they seem impossable to get.  I found some on e-bay from a guy that I buy from alot: http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZkrypton_sonQQhtZ-1QQfrppZ50QQfsopZ1QQfsooZ1QQrdZ0? but  I don't want to pay for shipping, etc.  What do you guys think?

Anyways, just curious how tough the Surfer was to find, or if there is anywhere online where he could still be picked up.  Maybe ebay will be the best option.

Well, after watching some auctions for awhile, I was able to score a loose, complete Silver Surfer (with Howard) off of ebay - along with the complete BAF Galactus for $12.55 plus shipping.  It arrived today, and everything looks great.  I didn't think I'd have the opportunity to get Galactus, since I didn't want/couldn't afford that entire wave - but I figured for this price I could get Galactus and Surfer all in one shot.  Nice to add another BAF to the collection :).

Nice Brian,
I tell ya, with toys ebay is the way.  I think even if you end up paying through the nose for something in particular, in the long run you end up saving money.  I buy so little at retail nowadays and wish I could buy even less. 

That said ::) I picked up the Green Goblin and Loki figures as they showed up finally on a local basis.  Left Pyro behind mostly because I wanted to be able to pick something else up when I get the Abomination figure.  This is a very well done Goblin figure and I'd like to get the chase as well, if possible. 

All those figures remain up at TRU.com as of last night.  No interest in the chase figures?

Grabbed a Pyro and an Abomination tonight, so this series is done for me. 

I guess I have two options here:

a) if anyone has Onslaught parts from Lady Deathstrike and Blackheart, I'd be interested in picking them up.

b) I guess I'd be willing to offload the four parts of Onslaught that I have if someone's interested in a trade.

As a side question, did anyone pick up the Abomination from the Hulk Classics series?  I'm curious how they compare?  Are they identical or do they vary in sculpt (doubtful) or paint apps?  I must say I'm quite pleased I opted to go for Absorbing Man at the time since Abomination turned out to be re-released.

The HC Abomination is horribly underscaled.  I'm glad I held out and waited for the vastily superior wave 13 Abomination.

Saw a really weird colored Sentry this morning.  It wasn't like either the regular or variant Sentry I have.  Strange.

It was a really bright yellow and blue, not the tan uni.

It's a running change.  The tan ones are no longer being made.

Cool, makes my selection that much wiser.
