The Bullpen / Re: The Avengers: The Toys

The first picture Jayson posted there is actually Secret Strike Loki, not King Loki.  This is King Loki from the Thor line, almost nobody found him:





It is a totally different figure from the Avengers Loki.  I did buy the new Avengers Loki and for me it completely takes the place of the King Loki figure.  This Avengers Loki is less articulated but you can still pose him a few cool ways.  And I like his helmet and face sculpt better:



I had posted about this last week over at marvelousnews.

Picked up 3 Vulture Droids for $21 each at Walmart.

Nice vehicle discounts.

They treat employees like crud.

Oh.  What does Walmart do to it's employees?

Does anyone know or think Walmart still makes a profit when they let a vintage figure go for $4?

Does anyone care?

Yes.  Don't you wonder how much profit the retailer makes, and how much the manufacturer makes?

I don't have the numbers, but something tells me Walmart's cost for a Star Wars vintage figure is somewhat higher than $4.

I know a Walmart regional manager, I'll ask him next time I see him.

Yeah, that ish is sickening. I'm ready to fight someone. 4 dollars in outer states but NY has to be the only place to try to rob you blind.

Nothing new really.

Anyone else seeing the clearing out of older Vintage figures as a possibly very bad sign of things to come in the next several weeks?  :-\

This has been my experience at Walmart.  They just might have dropped the vintage line.  We'll have to wait and see.

I went out to four Wal-Marts tonight. I wasn't able to find any new figures.

That in itself is crazy.

Nobody should be able to go to four different Walmart stores and find nothing new.

Just don't see myself worrying about Cap's lid when there's something better to look at right beside him.

You must really like Hawkeye.

Nice talk gentlemen.

251
It wasn't prices or distribution that hurt the line.  It was a Rebel Fleet Trooper without a holster.

There was no point in making these.  It's not like we're not already saturated with basically all of those figures.

He will also look great with extra Endor or Fleet Trooper helmets. He looks like a good generic Trooper. I hope his neck post take a ques from the Naboo pilot. the Naboo pilot head/neck post fits perfectly with the Fleet Trooper and Hoth Trooper, no dremmel needed. I have not tested other heads on him yet but I hope the trend of easily swappable heads continues.

I can also confirm the Yavin Rebel Hangar tech and Rebel Honor Guard heads are perfect as well.

Still have to try the Endor Rebel when I overcome my recent lazy spell.

While his diet is likely heavy in tofu and vegetables, Rob does pay quickly for figures and communicates well to orchestrate trades.
