Sad day. So with finances being overly important lately as well as me having a dis-enchantment with the RoC line's overall feel....
I am selling off all the Roc that I have collected. I was all-kinds-of ready to keep spending money on the 25th/ME stuff that got me back into the fun in the first place, but I realized I was only buying RoC because I wasn't ready to stop my renewed collecting bug. Give me a Helix/Charboil/any Nightforce in 25th/ME packaging with "proper" file cards, and I'm right back in it! But for now, if any of you gentlemen are in need of some case fresh MOC figures with cards that are either mint to near mint, let me know. I have an opened case of Collection2Wave3 "HelixWave" that has been cherry-picked to replace unwanted repeat earlier wave figs with/for multiple Pit Commandos, Flashes, and Helixes. I also have most of Collection1Wave3 "RexWave" such as PP Baroness, AccelDuke, and multiple ParaVipers. Sorry that it's over but someday (30th Anniv?) I'll be back! |

WM doesn't pricematch another WM's markdowns/sales/clearance. Period. It's the manager's decision what they do and don't clear out and for what price. With that said, none of the WMs near me are clearancing the Star Wars figures and only one of them had one full set of BAD figures (it has since disappeared when they re-did the aisle for Winter setup). Too bad. I wouldn't mind a cheap Dark Trooper II, but I was also debating Clone Wars Space helmet Anakin & Obiwan (want to see if I can use the helmets for a custom) and that Clone Wars advanced Battle Droid (looks like a sleeker version of the original droid, can't recall its exact name).
Saw the Deluxe XO:W sets at WM. $13.96, but they only had Deadpool w/BFG9000, Logan w/Bike, and Weapon X w/Chamber. Waiting to see the Target prices and better paint jobs. Everyone is restocking their Marvel Universe figures, except its Wave 4 Rev with the Negative Zone The Thing. I want Wave 5 already!! Electro, Modern Namor, Amazing Fantasy Spider-man, variant Daredevil, Guardian (Alpha Flight), Silver Centurion Iron Man, and variant Iron Fist.

Hey Crimson.. The Wal Mart on White Settlement road has several of those build a droid packs (Mainly the dark trooper ones) on clearance. They are in the Toy section one aisle over from the joes.. going towards sporting goods.
Snow.. I wish I could get up to your TRU more often. You seem to get stuff on or near the release date, unlike the TRU around here. LOL The Dark Trooper is rather impressive looking and has almsot as good articualtion as the joes do. He is pretty damn big, dwarfs the joes, most come to just below his upper chest area.

Ah.. didn't know, just saw them on the clearance isle and figured they were around $9. Stopped by there tonight on the way home and noticed that they have been moved around. Did Aly pic up some as well? Guess I'll find out when I go over there this week. LOL

Nah he did not grab any but he grabbed a bunch of other intresting items we looked at. Lotta Marvel and DC stuffs and a Pit Commando I passed on have seven of those fockers don't need anymore. There was not enough for a second full Dark trooper there, if you want to get some I will let ya know the other walmarts close to us that have more if you need some at some point.

Yeah, that pit commando was there the night before as well. He's been pretty common to find lately. I am not interested in the Dark Trooper, just figured he may have picked it up for a custom or to cast parts from. LOL

Picked up the ROC SRO sets since I was at TRU already. They had the rare Hot Wheels Batman series '89 Batmobile, but god damn those are $8 a pop now. WTF happened to $3.99 earlier this year?

Scalpus Maximus and Repakus Dorkus caused a reccesion in the hot wheels economy and the powers at be decided thier stimulus checks would allow for better revenues if the prices were higher since joes sell for so much...

Eff... I have the black Tumbler, classic '60s TV show, and Batman:TAS car from Series 1. The Batpod, '89 Batmobile, and Batwing would have been awesome to go with them.

You talking about those 1:50 Bat vehicles? I coulda sworn they were $4.99 or $5.99. Not 8 bucks. Maybe it was moved to a wrong tag.
