Beyond when Snow's store put out a ton of cases, I haven't seen squat for SW EU figures. And yes, the best A-Team paint jobs have been picked over. I still haven't found a Lynch I'm happy with. However...
Re-armed with Marauder John guns I had around. Even found four handguns that fit well. Had to fix B.A.'s kneecap pin because it wasn't installed fully. Pop out Murdock's arms and re-insert so they would rotate properly, and Hannibal's left leg needed to be completely removed and popped back on so it would actually rotate. Quality work.

I am going to go on record that I'm guessing more A-Team figures will be shipping soon and that they will peg-warm for a long time to come.
Now that new stuff has been dead for a while and should continue until August, what is new at Marshall's, TJ Maxx and those other stores? Hey Nirvana! Have you been to the local Family Dollar yet/lately? Isn't it in your area?

Just got back from a stop at the Allen Target and Allen TRU. I picked up an A-Team Murdock and Hannibal from Target. Both had decent paint jobs, so they'll join my Rampage Jackson BA Baracus to form 3/4 of the A-Team.
I would have picked up the Face figure, but the paint app was just ridiculous. The Face figure has a five o'clock shadow, and this figure had one side of his face with a DARK beard, and the other side of his face with LIGHT colored stubble. Just stupid looking. So, I am still on the lookout for a decent Face figure and for the van. TRU had some new arrivals. The had the new Iron Man 2 Minimate 2 packs, they had the new 6 inch Jonah Hex figures (Jonah Hex looks cool but the Megan Fox figure looks like a tranny), and they had a new TRU exclusive DC Classics Universe Green Lantern figure with a metallic/shiny looking outfit. Kinda cool, but I stopped collecting DCCU a little while ago. Also if anyone collects the UFC figures, they have the new BJ Penn/Shogun Rua wave out. I think that was it there. No Star Wars EU line, no newer IM2 waves, and nothing new Joe-wise of course. |

Ok sweet caught the guy at target putting out the A-team figures as I checked my only chance stop tonight. He only had 2 boxes of the 5 figures so i got extremely lucky with the full set I picked up. Pretty decent paint apps (cept a small smidget of yellow on Hannibal's blue shirt which I think I can paint/fix) and no broken joints/parts all pretty solid. I may paint thier eyes to make them look a little better but thats a difficult thing to pull off right so i dunno if I would make hem better or worse.
Now if I could locate a Whiplash.... Last edited by CrimsonGuard101; 05-27-2010 at 09:27 PM.. |

I only ever found Joes at one FD, there was only 4, and nothing anyone would want. Wouldn't waste your time until the other ones around me start to actually see something. I have 3 within 10 mins or so of the house.
Found a good Lynch so my crew is set to battle now. Need to order a few more guns from Marauder as most of my stock is AK-related for Cobra figures and that won't work for Agent Lynch. Ran the DPCI again, but still no Vans in the back or in the area. I don't know what to say about IM2. Haven't seen Whip & Fusion at a single WM around here. The Hulkbuster/Guardsman case disappeared in just days and neither Target nor WM have put it out yet. This won't be over any time soon. IM2 is slated through the Fall with more exclusives, more waves, and that Rolling Command Center.

The targets I checked today have further shrunk the IM2 section down to 1 row of peg hooks with about 5 up an down (reminded of me of the later room they gace 25th/ME) so with that and the stock levels they still have who knows when they will restock with the newer stuff. Walmart is also lagging but if we know anything with the way they did ROC I bet we won't see anymore till Christmas and then promptly see them all hit clearance to be canned lol. |

Did you order the next MU wave through HTS yet? I went ahead given how little HAMMER Wave 2 showed up. Swap out bad paintjobs if/when they show up in town, plus I get a set of 6 AIM Troopers to join my 6 HYDRA and 6 SHIELD.

Naw not into MU stuffs. I am suprised that I got into the IM2 things but I think thats just because of lack of Joe stuffs lol. IM2 looked cool though and I thought their construction was better then MU. I have 1-2 MU stuff I got for cusotms and did not like it much. Actually I take that back i did find the Dr. Doom comic 2 pack with that fugly chainball guy. Dr. Doom I always thought was kinda cool character kinda like I like Galactus (I will get that 18inch thing of him when it comes out!) just cause that guy is like a badass or something and they both end up fighting each other in the seceret wars comic he came with so I thought that was kinda cool. I saw the new single carded Thor way down south of me at a walmart in like blackish armor, almsot snagged that but decided against it. I don;t need another vector of figures, I am already pushing it with the A-team and Transformers Takara remixes.
