  1. Not to jump on the Hasbro hate machine, but I only bought Iron Man in Wave 1 (I do so love the Ultimates) and unfortunately haven't seen hide nor hair of the Wave 2. I was extremely let down by the horrendous face of Banshee and I waited for YEARS for a Hercules figure and then get one that looks like he tried a spray on tan and it went horribly wrong. So.. much... orange. Although, even when I do (if) I see Wave 2 it'll probably be only Shulkie and Xorn and then I'll have to see.

     

    My biggest issue (aside from odd face sculpts and some bad coloring) is the lineups. But, in that case I didn't collect anything from Onslaught series till the end except for Moon Knight. I wanted a Luke Cage and Baron Zemo, but not those interpretations, but I know thats a personal thing.

     

    As far as wave 3. I don't want another Cyclops or Cap - but I'm sure many do. I have no idea who Danger (?) is and although the Bucky is neat, not a figure I've been scrambling for. And I wish either they'd stop dropping movie (X3) figures in the line all together or at least throw in some from other movies. I know most of the movies did get a separate line, but I still want a movie ML Ghost Rider and Black Suit Spider-Man in the right size. The Hydra figure is awesome and probably aside from Black Knight will be the only one I would remotely consider picking up.

     

    I don't have a particular complaint, and maybe I liked the earlier ToyBiz waves because it was new and fresh and just burned out on the idea in general. But I got my Deadpool, Moon Knight, and Bullseye. And if I can get a modern Taskmaster some day I can color myself content.

  2. Kamen, not sure what part of Atlanta you are in, but I've found Vos at varying Wal-Marts and Targets in the Kenessaw and Alpharetta areas. Try around there. Also in further north in Canton and Ellijay.

     

    I'm in downtown/Midtown Atlanta. I'll be out in the Snellville area tomorrow. I'll look then. Thanks!

     

    I finally saw some airborne and galactic marines again at TRU off cobb pkwy and up in kennesaw....I keep missing the mcquarrie figs :( but don't forget to check either of the super walmart's up on cobb pkwy...yes even the old ghetto one that is less than two miles from the nicer new one heh. or the kmart by the chicken ;) jk i've never found anything at that kmart.

     

    Not to mention a Super Target a ways down the road too.

  3. Is that the joecon that was in marietta?

     

     

    No, completely different. The Joe con in Marietta was small potatoes (although really cool) compared to this Joe con. The con they are speaking of is the main event that travels to different cities every year and just so happens to come to Atlanta this year (25th anniversary to boot).

  4. I would hope that in a community of collectors no one (aside from those hell-bent on selling them for the top dollar to a true collector unable to attend) would be upset that more people would be allowed to obtain these toys. Exclusive, chase, variant, etc.. are all nice ways of saying 'e-bay me please'. If there is that much merchandise left over sell it. And if the exclusivity (i had no idea that was a word till spell check picked up on it :D ) if a 'factor' change the packaging slightly so they can be distinguished.

     

    And the fact that this was even brought up is mind-boggling to say the least.

  5. Very well done impressive with no ties to Lucas films at all. Just curious about how this would actually pan out. Have a 2-3 episode arc and characters central to that story and then different set characters and period of time with another 2-3 episode arc?

  6. Man, if you have NEVER collected Star Wars before, you could start this year and have all of your bases covered. With everything that has come out in 07, you could have a respectable collection with that alone. At-Ats, Starfighters, figures covering both trilogies, it's a good year.

     

     

    You are so so right on this one. I haven't bought a new Star Wars piece since probably AOTC and the Saga line that erupted afterwars, but this year has it all. I can build a grand army of the republic without having to go e-bay.

     

    Oh, and a side note. I found this picture extremely funny:

    30 years. 1997-2007...? :huh:

  7. Saga went too fast last year, but is getting many encores this year. I've seen Wave 2 (minus Concept Boba), the new comic packs, and V-Wing/Infiltrator. Thats about it thus far. I did find the new VOTC, but all they had were two Leias... so I had to pass. I hope it gets cranked up more, but either stores or slammed full of Saga again (although I have found a few choice goodies like a black clone pilot) or bare except for a TAC Obi/R2/Luke/Han.

  8. I would at least start it lower and if nothing else set a reserve. Thats a ton of figures and comics, but no way in hell anyone is going to drop a starting bid of 2k. Plus that jacks up the listing price. I keep mine in the $5-$15 starting.
