Customs / Desto, Serpentor, Flash
« on: February 01, 2006, 07:02:07 PM »
Flash looks great, the tinted visor/faceguard(not sure which one it would be called) is a nice touch.

The Destro looks awesome. Love the removable mask and the cloth goods coat looks great.

Serpentor is amazing. I like the cape. The over all design is appealing. What I like the most about this figure is the design of the helmet.

Purple version of X-23.
I actually did not want the character, swore up and down I wouldn't buy the character, but when the 50% off discount was offered.......well, that broke me.


Dammit. Any signs of the black X-23?

This is the first time I have ever managed to snag the variant. And I thank whoever screwed up the non-US cases for it. But it would be nice if the corrected cases would come out so I can get the regular black X-23.

I scored Bishop, X-23, and Maestro from ML12 and a ML11 Scarlet Witch for 50% off the whole bunch. Tally came to $41. This was at a small toy store in 100 Mile House BC.


Black or purple X-23?

I'd love to get my hands on a Scarlett Witch (Scarlett Mitch on other forums  :lol: ), but lack the money right now.

I know where I can get a couple of the other ML12's, so when I return Vengeance to TRU, I'm going to see if a friend of mine can lend me the $$$ grab them.

So what I did by the day after boxing day? Star Wars Battle front 2 for $38.xx from Walmart and after reading one of the posts here I bought Firefox on line from the future shop for Sheryl for $29.99.


Star Wars Battle Front II for $38??? I can't find that game anywhere under $50 (and of course the Wally I went to had to be sold out).

I didn't get anything Boxing Day. Did my shopping on Wed (less of a crowd).

For DVDs managed to get Land of the Dead, From Hell and Puni Puni Poemy. For my PS2 I managed to get Battlefireld 2 Modern Combat. I had played the PC version of Battlefield 2 over at a friends house. And figured since I need a new video card and a memory upgrade before I could play that I'd just grab it for the PS2 (plus the $18 price tag helped). If the woman in the electronics department wasn't in such a hurry, I would have looked at the back for requirements and would not have bought it. Get home, go to play the game. Ok cool, it has an online mode...WTF doesn't have anything for non-online play. Great I have a game that I cannot return because it works, yet I cannot play because I live in an area where Bell couldn't guarantee we could get broadband within a century.

Toy wise, for the new Saga Collection I grabbed Bib Fortuna and Leia (Boussh Disguise). TF Cybertron I grabbed Red Alert and Override. Marvel Legends I grabbed a Cyclops (my 1st Sentinel now needs his left leg) and from ML 11 I got Wonder Man and Vengeance. Vengeance was royally screwed up so I'm hoping to get back into Belleville in the next week or two to return him. He was missing a shoulder spike and the upper right elbow joint is warped and the peg is too short to even attempt fixing.

And the more I look at these figures, the more I want all 5,  yes that is FIVE of SIX, variants.  Bounty Hunter has them in stock, I just couldn't drop any more money this close to Christmas.

All but Bishop now.
He's spoken for.

LMK on the variant Sasquatch........ I consider him a 'Wedigo' type of fella. :-)

I have yet to see a pic of any variant other than X-23 and Bishop. By that Wendigo comment, am I right to assume the variant Sasquatch is white?

And if the back of the card is right then there is only 1 Maestro. Purple outfit and black outfit X-23, white Sasquatch (AKA Wendigo), normal brownish/orangish Sasquatch, red and green Iron Fists, bald and has hair Bishop and finall Wolverine with mask on and with mask down. Right?

I wish someone would make a good up to date checklist of all ML figs (best I found so far doesn't cover 12 and only lists Trenchcoat Thing from the first Best Of.

You could always do the 'money order' route. :-)

If I could actually get to a post office during the week, I would be doing that now. Thats the problem with not living in the same town you work in and not driving. And unfortunately friends and family have all tapped out their cards for Christmas. Can always start ordering in the new year.

Arrow, thanks for the tip. Amazingly at my financial counseling session, the guy I had to meet with recommended getting a secured card to try and build credit back up. And actually its not a full 7 years now, everything in the bankruptcy is supposed to be wiped off your record after 6 years. I was told to check my credit reports at the 3 year mark to make sure the only debts being added since the bankruptcy are ones that I know I have accumulated since then. Then check again just after the 6 year mark to make sure the debts covered under the bankruptcy have been wiped off.

ML 12 is in Canada now?? **mutters a silent curse to Toy Biz**

Now that I'm working and am making money, I just started playing catch up. I'm missing Cyclops and Angel from wave 10, haven't even started on ML 11  :(  Plus I still need to hunt down a few older figs, all of the box sets.

Can't wait till the bankrupcy is absolved so I can try and get my hands on a credit card to order figs I need online (and watch me get turned down when I apply for one anyway).

You just missed my sale - ALL ML figs were 40% off - would of been a great way for you to catch up!

I'll have a boxing week sale.... I think they're going to be 25% off - that should help you out as well.
Mike


Cool, thanks for the heads up. I'll try to talk one of my friends that have a credit card into ordering for me.

Hmmmm, once  a date and location is set, I should start planning on ways to get there. Living out in the middle of nowhere without a drivers license and car is a pain.

Sorry, unfortunately I deleted mt GTA/GTA VC/GTA SA game saves a while ago to make room for games I am currently playing.

I know how you feel though, for some reason, my Silent Hill 2 game saves always corrupt when I'm 3/4 through the game.

I do believe the APU mech has had the most complaints of any McF product in terms of QC over on their forum.

And the complaints were all that were listed here. Broken shoulder joints and waists snapping. Although most of the complaints were that this was happening while taking the figs out of their packages.

Last McF fig I bought was the Reborn 2 Mandarin Spawn. The sword sheath had broke in package, returned it to WalMart, ended up going through every Mandy they had in stock all with broken sheaths. On the last one I just e-mailed McF customer service for a replacement sheath. 2 weeks later I recieved in the mail another broken sheath and some hockey pucks (which I no longer have thanks to my exgirlfriend).

Its bad enough that all they seem to make anymore is statues, but its even worse that when they decided to go in that direction, QC took a major nosedive.

Over on http://http://www.fwooshnet.com/ they reported that Scarlet Witch was canceled. It was supposedly reported in a post by Jesse Falcon from ToyBiz, but since I just started visiting the site again after a few weeks, I missed out on the initial confirmation of her being cancelled.
