I suspect a lot of Steelers fans have jumped on the Pirates bandwagon. Can't say I blame them.

I saw the mando speeder with Darth Maul and 2 red Mandos at my local grocery store last night. Damn, what a great toy! This would have been a great entry in the Hasbro deluxe series. Ugh.

I liberated a lone Mace Windu from my local Walmart last night for $3.50. Apparently clerance price varies by store because the next two I checked had TCW stragglers for $5 and $7 respectively.

I saw a bunch of new MU figures at TRU yesterday...Abomination, Cloak, etc.
Why is Cloak called "Marvel Knights" on the package?!?!

Ok, I saw these yesterday too. Is the Dark Elf the same as Kurse? Or are these 2 different figures? Pardon my ignorance but I only know the classic Thor characters from the comics.
I didn't notice what the articulation looked like, sorry.

YES! Good call, and I 100% agree. We need this guy in plastic!
Those shots look super cool, IMO, i really wish this would have come out.

Forgot to mention I had to LOL and cry a little inside when I saw that Hasbro Angry Birds Telepods commercial during SHIELD last night. What a revolting development.

Agents of SHIELD, anyone?
I thought it was pretty solid. I liked that they Maria Hill back, hope she remains a series regular. (Isnt' HIMYM ending this year?)
I liked that they didn't just gloss over Coulson's "death", but made it a point of mystery. Tahiti, indeed.
Liked most of the B players, although I found the lead bohunk pretty annoying. The Rising Tide chick was super cute. How did Summer Glau not get that part though? The Brits were nice, Ming Wa too, and Ron Glass is always %^&* money.
The thing I was a little concerned about going in is still a concern though - i think the nameless schmoe of the week with powers is going to get stale quickly. This is a prime opportunity to pull in some good B and C list players from the Marvel Universe. There are definitely more than a few that require little in the way of CGI or expensive effects. (Power Man and Iron Fist baby!)
I'll keep watching this for sure though, looks like a potential winner.

Timeless, my arse. You just know those things are full of dated references to crap like "twerking" and the Kardashians.
Just give us our Dr. Ball, M.D. spin-off series!

Middle Earth / Re: The Hobbit - Toy Line

Thanks, Smash. I picked up a single-carded Gandalf for $7 on ebay this weekend.
I also ended up returning the multipack I bought because I already had Bilbo and Thorin and I was going to have to buy another 2-pack just to get Balin. And it wasn't worth it to me to spend $15 for Kili and Fili when I can buy them both off eBay for less.
So now I need two 2-packs and Invisible Bilbo and I'm all caught up.

Agreed, that looks awesome and is a must buy. Not sure what other deluxe sets they could possibly follow it up with, maybe Rick and his horse, but even if it is just a one-off it's a cool idea.

While scouring Walgreens for Walking Dead figures yesterday, I happened across an IG-86 on the pegs in its original clone helmet card. Man, those was a long time ago! It was on sale for $7 I believe but I'm pretty sure I could find one on eBay cheaper than that.

« on: September 19, 2013, 11:48 PM »Be sure to look along the end caps throughout the store and on the top shelves as well. On Sunday I found a display case on the top shelf of the toy aisle, and last night I almost walked empty-handed out of a store that had a full display case of 12 figures near the front checkouts. It was just luck that I looked down as I was passing the display. And both of these stores had at least 1 Rick on a peg in the toy aisle that had been there for a few days.
Thanks for the tip, I finally found a full display of these at Walgreen's today too, on an island between 2 aisles. If I hadn't known to look I would have easily missed them. They had 2 Andreas, so I was able to get a less googly-eyed one. Wave complete!
