Nope...they are out in the UK and HK though

I'll be as close to Canada as I usually ever get in a few weeks (Detroit Lakes) in a few weeks...I'll shoot my Bat Signal Northward and you may be able to see it :-*

Detroit Lakes ;D  Lordy, I have stories about that place.  I've got a summer of 86 shirt from Zorba's.  You'd never fit it (I'm amazed I ever did) as it's only a medium.  Does Zorba's still exist?  I know that they used to have a deal for beer depending on how old your shirt was.  This one should be worth a bit now.  Jet skis, beer, girls and more beer.  

We went down to the far side of the lake one day.  A couple of buddies went golfing and one other guy and I decided not to.  They dropped us off at the bar and went golfing.  There was a body building contest going on outside, but they wanted a $10 admission to see it.  Screw it we thought.  Eventually out of sheer boredom and beer fueled stupidity we decided to sneak out and watch.  We got caught.  Except the waitress kindly asked if we wanted more beer before we went outside.  We said sure, but don't we have to pay?  No, you only have to pay if you're not drinking, I think you guys are fine, was her reply ::) :D  D'oh!

5 hours later our buddies returned and poured us into the van.  Short nap and we were up long enough and hard enough to get thrown out of the campsite.  Overflow.  With no one else around.  Ah, the glory days.  

I'll toast that bat signal with a Leinenkugel if I see it. :)

My dad's family is from the area so I've spent many a day around there, summers with the grandparents, hunting and fishing (my Dad owns has 80 acres north of town and with his brothers and sisters and cousins we have almost 500)

We're actually going up there with my wife's family though to stay in a resort over the 4th of July week.  

Zorba's is still there, my brother, me and my Uncle have been known to tip a few back then go and sit on the beach ;D  and watch the Girls, jetskis and girls.  Great town, wouldn't mind living there or getting a job in Fargo/Moorhead and driving in from DL

Anyone in your family fit an adult medium t-shirt?  I could send it on down and you guys could reap the benefits.  

I haven't been to DL for far too long.  Great place.  Very, very happy to hear that Zorba's is still cruising along merrily.   :)

My choices would have been thus:

Thanos
Scarlet Witch
She-Hulk
Psylocke
Super Skrull
Mysterio
White Queen
Longshot
Spider-Woman
Mephisto
Loki
Lady Deathstrike
Enchantress
Typhoid Mary

I think we'll see a second Sinister Six pack to make up a number of the other villains.  There's always another Spidey sculpt they can throw in with it.  

I do think that they should separate off the X-men to a greater degree.  That would leave more room in the traditional line for villains and lesser heroes.  Of course what we will see is 3 Wolverines for every 4 series.

Although these sets are a little older, I see that Amazon has the Urban Legends ($9.98) and X-Men Legends ($14.98) box sets on sale now if anyone is interested.

Wow, those are great prices.  Thanks for the link Brian.  I may pick them up, I have that $25 GC burning a hole in cyberspace.  I was going to use it for the Mouth of Sauron set, but this is incredible.  I could take back the defective X-men set(wrong head sculpt on Magneto) to TRU that cost me $50.  Hmmm.

Son of a bitch!

I just scored Daredevil for $9 at Osco, and here was this, with the Parachute Spider-Man in it that I need too. >:(

Oh well.

Still looking for Carnage, Abomination, and Absorbing Man, like evry other idiot Marvel collector out there.

Ben, do you want me to pick up a carnage for you?  I still see them occasionally.  Runs around $7 US and the shipping. (thanks for the info on Buffy btw).  

I'm looking for abomination and absorbing man as well.  More interested in creel, but would take both.  I don't think we'll see these up here because, well, because the sales of the movie hulk toys were such an abomination ::) :-*
