Moon Knight was a 3rd rate character in the Marvel Universe before the past 6 months. Then they put him in Secret Avengers, and now everyone likes him. It seems like the popularity of all of the Secret Avengers has gone up since that title came out. I think people like the idea of a "Black Ops Superhero Team" (see X Force). I also think the way they depict him in Secret Avengers as a total a$$ kicking bada$$ helps with his popularity. Add to that the fact they have not re-released that specific line, and there you have his meteoric rise onto people's want lists.
My personal want list is somewhat short right now. All I want is a freakin Wrecker with a non crappy paint app so I can have a leader for my Wrecking Crew, and they can start wreaking havoc on my Joes. =) I lied - I do want 1 other figure - a freakin Ivan Vanko Whiplash figure from the scarce Iron Man 2 wave. |

Is that the costume with the yellow bolt on the chest? I bought her like right after TF2 hit the theatres just because I was a fan of the character. There were dozens of them, didn't know she was HTF now.

No, that's the modern Ms Marvel. The classic one is the one in the red outfit with the 60's hairdo. LOL

I have yet to see Whip on a retail chain peg. Mostly the scalpers or some unknown to us army builder collector wiped out all the IM2 cases put out Monday. Joe wave 2 including JV just seem to pegwarm. I still see some stores with Daken/Venom, but not that many. SecWars pegwarms as expected.
Again, glad I went HTS for the moment with IM2. Missing Whip and the drones would have sucked.

I have seen Hulkbuster, Guardian and Titanium Man at 2 places recently. That just means I may have a shot at them if I ever get any spending cash.
I just hope Hasbro adds more AVs to revision cases as they would easily sell via collectors and kids. I started my army of them (at 1) and want 4 more.

AVs have rerally dried up but I am betting they show back up witht he revision cases but I don;t think they will be anymore then 1 again per case, only seen 4 at a single walmart in Stephenville in weeks lol if you wanan go get those...it appears just about every walmart has gotten rid is about done with all of the secret wars comic 2 packs and is not carrying any of the new ones, glad I found both of those...went by my useless TRU today and they only have 4 Snow Cats, couple ghost hawks and trikes and 1 or 2 mechs left and 2 Storm Shadows and a shitton of ROC...and that is it for POC figures, no freaking vintage At-At box either they had FOUR clone wars ones sigh.
I too have seen tons of JVs and POC wave 2 pegwarming everywhere even starting at walmart now, saw at least 10 JVs today. Far as IM2, Target is fully loaded on this side of town with Hulkbusters, Titanium Man and that wave, I saw Arctic and Silver Centurain IM2 at the Arlignton walmart but already had those from BBTS, first time i seen those in the field. The new Air and Army green drones have not shown up at all as far as I know over here. As for Whiplash I don't think many of those escaped the warehouses, could have been the card art messups or the fact they released him in the 3 pack. I got my single carded one from Ebay a long while ago...Alyosha is the only one I know of who found one at retail well that posted about it. That store still has never replesnished Whiplash's wave assortment at all, I really think that wave was missed by retail and will end up at Ross TJ Maxx in the next 2 years lol. On what i did find today I found a Wolverine Origins Deadpool (actually both versions but I don't like the semi naked/shirtless one that much) at TJ Maxx for $4.99 so I got Deadpool and the Maskless Comic version of Wolverine from that same line. I like the way he looks like he has hair on his arms, the 2 pack one from the new target exclusives dosent look like that. Found an X-force wolverine who is pretty emaculate at my useless TRU so I grabbed him as I liked the way he looked (just in case the new x-force 3 pack needs some body work). But that was all I found...no magneto's left out there and my vacation is over tomorrow so no more hunting left in me like I have the last 2 weeks. Wanted to try way east toward Tyler and such to hit those remote walmarts in a chance they may still have thier Secret Wars comic pks...but alas I will just hit ebay an dorder him up later on. I did luckily get a very nice Proving Grounds 3pk today from my online order of that new Kmart exclusive so that saves me a trip to Oklahoma or Abilene... so odd not needing to hunt for joes lol...POC was just too easy..which was nice...glad I did not need to go to HEB in Austin again lol...why does the Cobra Shock trooper give me the feeling I will need to do that again?...lol |

I still need the Proving Ground set, but I'll be up around Kmarts in December when we head to DC as usual. If the Joe 4-pack pack was around for forever at Kmart, the Proving Ground sets should be there in December if we don't stop by sooner. There are quite a few Kmarts in the backwoods once we hit Virginia/Maryland that seem to have tons of stock for... absolutely no one.

Hey guys, good ole Target strikes again!! I was at Target this morning, and they had about 12 of the new Iron Man 2 3 packs with the Ivan Vanko, Mark V, and Sea Assault Drone.
I picked the best paint app, and left the rest. It rang up at $19.99. Got my Whiplash finally!! Now I just need my MU Wrecker. =) |

I saw the IM2 TRU 4 packs. I really want that Nick Fury!! I'm hoping thats the same version set to come out in single packs. It looks like they used Joe body parts to make him. |

Proving Grounds set is an Iron Man 2 set with a very cool holographic Iron Man, a Hulkbuster Armor, and a "Recon" War Machine.
I wonder when the Iron Man 2 Movie Series Black Widow and Maskless IM and WM are coming out... |
