Amazon black friday deals are starting to show up for some classified figures.
and it isn't really worth mentioning but Toysrus.ca has also put items on "sale" making them slightly more than what they should be priced at normally.

Some okay Amazon prices, but everything on sale I already have.

Toys R Us is also having another Buy One, Get One Free on clearance items.   So if you can find something(s) worth your time now is the time to look.

I decided to plasti-dip the yellow Dragonfly tail wings.  Flat black looks better in my opinion.
The benefit of plasti-dip, is if I don't like it later I can peel it off without any lasting damage.

It probably will be a case of how many people complain.

The recent Giant-Man Haslab had a problem with the eyes that looked straight ahead.   A lot of people were complaining that the straight looking eyes were not straight.   Hasbro apparently heard enough complaints that they promised to do another run of the eyes.   So anyone with the problem could contact them for a new set.   

Now that is also a case of a really small piece that they can probably blame on the factory and get rectified for cheap, or free.   If the canopy becomes a big problem like the eyes, or the Sentinel's knees, then maybe they'll do something.   However it probably isn't a cheap replacement, and more of a design/engineering problem than a factory problem.   So they may just go the Sentinel route and say "sorry, send it back for a refund."

Sadly not a legit location.  It was at one point hosted on several Torrent sites.

SHAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   (hahahaha)

Yeah downloading complete runs was great.   I had a number of different runs downloaded for awhile.   However the computer I had them stored on died and I never bothered to transfer them or try and download them again.   

I hear the digital services aren't too bad for reading, but I don't know that I would be willing to pay a monthly subscription just to read them once in a whlle.   Although I guess I could sign up, read them, and cancel.   Then rinse and repeat down the road if I wanted to do so again.

Haven't noticed that on mine, but I could easily see it breaking or at the least creating some unsightly stress marks in the plastic.  I opened mine once, and thought it was a nice addition, but clear plastic has bitten me too many times.  As for as the brittleness of plastic it goes clear then brown.  Would love to see Hasbro get out ahead if there is an issue and offer a simple solution for everyone - they have our contact address.

Looks like there is an issue with the gull wing door on the Dragonfly.

I have seen a couple posts/reviews showing it breaking, or having stress marks.  Probably due to the thin clear plastic which is notoriously fragile, even on new items. 

Mine looks like it could be heading that way if I'm not careful.   However I am not really planning on displaying it, or loading figures inside, in a way that would require me to open it anymore.   Going to keep an eye out to see what Hasbro is offering as a resolution for people and might try and get in on it if it doesn't require much on my end.

I love the original Marvel run of the comics.  The issues towards the end felt forced, and any time they had to do an issue to introduce a new toy was always a little awkward, but over all the entire series is brilliant.  I have all of the original run, spent a couple years sourcing a few issue I missed, mostly from the Special Missions series.  I also bought the Trade Paperback editions years ago.

I finally hunted down a digital version of the original run and loaded them onto an ipad, that way I don't have to dig out the old ones if I want to re-read them (did the same for the transformers marvel series too)
I enjoyed the cartoon and all of its goofiness, but the comic books felt more grounded.

Where did you find the digital run for download?

This is the best version of Wild Bill, I am interested to see what they do if he makes it to the Retro line, but the cartoon colours just don't work for me.
However I am looking forward to Retro versions CrazyLegs and RipCord, the night force figures are fun and appreciated.
