  1. Besides the Molarr set, has single pack Skeletors been showing up?
  2. Found 2 x Count Marzo; Moss Man; Chief Carnivus; and Icarus/Flipshot at a Big Lots in Conway, AR.
  3. It really looks good and tempting with the $35 markdown with BBTS but still a little too much for me. However, if it was the 1701-A, I'd be sold on it.
  4. Finally found these guys locally. Between two stores I managed to snag a full set. Also noticed the value of these guys on ebay seem to be dropping.
  5. Wal-Mart locally only got one case of Retaliation figures in and the rest were motorcycles and roleplay which mine clearanced out. Even K-Mart clearanced out their section of Joes. Most of the same and they had put back a broken and returned Zartan and Cobra Trooper to the shelf.
  6. I just got MU Kraven the Hunter, Hulk (new mold), and Ultimate Spider-Man (Miles Morales version) from BBTS and I have to so say how much better these 3 figures are than anything in the past put out in the Marvel Universe line. My biggest problem with past figurs were mainly how flimsy they felt. Sometimes the joints would be so stiff, I'd be afraid of breaking it; or the joints would be very loose; and the biggest problem was the soft plastic the figures were made from would warp depening on how it was packaged. The new figures seem to be made of a lot firmer plastic and the joints are not loose and feel like they going to break. I can get some amazing poses including in crouched position from Kraven and Spidey. They have ankle joints, double knee joints, wrist, elbow, forearm, shoulder joints, head, mid torso, and rotating waist. The hip joints seem to be more ball joints and are easier to move around. Even the Hulk has some great articulation. Same as Kraven and Spidey but he goes on to have a double jointed neck! Also makes me want to find a Peter Parker version of Ultimate Spider-Man and put up my previous wave normal suit Spidey figures. This is what Marvel Universe should have been from the get go.
  7. I know that since last Christmas and the extreme lack of Joes on pegs, Wal-Mart dedicated alot of peg and shelf space from GI Joe to those "Corps" line. Not as articulated but some of them don't look all that bad.
  8. It's a shame Bandai never got around to making a Black Pyramid playset. But it probably...most likely....would have shelf warmed too.
  9. Classics Raphael $14.97 @ Walmart.com Looks like ordering them online like at BBTS is the way to go. I paid $15.99 for mine at a collector shop so I figured retail would have been quite a bit less.
  10. (Thanks) I remember hearing during the Joe-Con panel they were trying to get more of them out there. I've also been checking Family Dollar stores since they carry the same "smaller market" type items like the limited articulation Marvel Universe figures and the repackaged Transformer Mini-Con figures.
  11. I still have yet to see these guys at any of my local DGs. I thought that since the rest of Retaliation got put on hold, these guys would start showing up at more places to help fill the void.
  12. Wow, I thought Leo's were bad. I can live with his but not on Donatello. Are they all like that or are there some in the mix with normal looking eyes?

    figure stands

    If you are referring to the 3.75" figures, I know there are many third party companies that produce stands for GI Joe and Marvel Universe figures. A friend of mine recommended this site but I have yet to order anything from them. Maurader Third Party Stands
  14. With Bandai possibly pulling out and the toon still in limbo this ship has become the metaphorical Mary Celeste. Apparently, my Wally marked them on clearance but kept it pretty secret since they were in the clearance aisles marked and still in the regular toy section unmarked. Supposedly, Wally is doing a reset in the next few weeks so the ones remaining in the toy aisle are marked for clearance. 4" figures still at $3 and Tower and Tank are $25 and the big brick called Armor of Omens is $19
  15. Makes me wonder if Hasbro is sending out past cases they have left over to fill the gap until the next wave of Retaliation figures hit stores next year. Wal-Mart/Hasbro did something similiar when stores ran short back during the first Transformers movie in 2007 and they filled the shelves with older stuff until more of the new movie line arrived.
