Marvel Universe Figures - Rollback to $6.92 at Wal-Mart
« on: September 28, 2010, 01:49:22 PM »

When most action figures hit $9.92 , it gave me the impetus to stop collecting lines like SW and Marvel Universe.

I went into WM today and I found that the MU figs have been rolled back to $6.92.  Picked up Mystique and Captain Britain.  Want to find a Ghost Rider.

I am getting annoyed with the MU line - finding each wave, and getting store exclusives is becoming impossible.
For that same reason is why I stopped collecting Star Wars.
I have not seen a complete new Wave in my area for the last 5 or 6 months.

Yeah, I saw that Mystique the other night, wanted to get it, but it was 9 bucks.  On the same shelf were joes and iron man figures for 7.  I can't remember if it was at wal-mart or target.

I wanted a Bullseye when the line was new.

Have you seen how much Bullseye goes for on eBay now?!?

That's because he was a widely featured character at the time of his release.  Then Hasbro only released him in the first wave and that was it, even though other figures were rereleased in revisioin cases later on.

I don't know if Bullseye even made it to Canada.

But yeah, the wave release is very erratic.

Bullseye did not make it to retail in Canada (or at least not Ontario).

This line kinda sucks to be honest. For every awesome figure (ex. Union Jack) theres about 10 crappy ones. Possability is horrible which is a shame cuz the Joe line, you can get tons of sweet poses. Lack of accessorys and stands (thought now they seem to be ammending that) really hurt the figures.

I found the DC line looked to odd, oversized hands etc.
