No 6" Avengers, not that I expected any. Had to go to WM for other stuff. Did find a MH C.A. Cupid case and the four newest outfits. That was a strange and expensive find.

See. It's tough being jerked around for months and months not knowing what's going on. I've been chasing down every single little lead. Stuff on toysdaily, taobao, ebay Philippines, various toy news sites, posts by foreign members. Man, just trying to get the bottom of this. Then, outta NOWHERE?!!?! Walmart/Hasbro just springs the line on us, but we still have no idea what's going on. There's mixed info on the street date, Walmarts not stocking enough product to meet demand (which puts the distro of 6" in further doubt), and oh.. yeah, scalpers jumping on toys that are from the biggest movie ever. Yeah, it's not just a moderately successful movie line with a few figures, it's a $#($ing monster of a movie. Damn. I've literally been a detective on this line. lol.

The funny thing SciFri..when i was unemployed for about 12 months I used to hunt a lot. i could find anything...i chatted up the toy dept managers, became lookouts for other collectors i bumped into, and knew exactly when new product would go out and be stocked 95% of the time. I never even invaded sealed cases or pallets..I'd look and then just ask an employee at most.
I could find anything that wasn't an online exclusive.....in fact, I was one of the people that have made the first sighting threads.... But, I no longer enjoy the hunt due to Hasbro making it not fun. Now, i just pre-order the stuff I have to have, pay scalper prices for a couple items or wait and strike like a shark when i finally find it in the wild. In toy collecting you have to have patience now, or be willing to pay a scalper for the uber rare item. Patience........

Finally finished up Elektra and took a couple pics before sticking her on the shelf with the vigilante types-
I could never fix the issue on the side of her face even after multiple sanding/re-painting so i finally just decided to cover it up with some flowing hair Also swapped out the thicker sai she had with two smaller versions that can both fit in her sash at the same time (zing!) Over-all I'm pretty happy with how she turned out- which means we should hear word from hasbro with the next set of reveals that she is scheduled for wave 21

Yeah, the retail hunt isn't really fun anymore, and that's why I'm moving away from certain lines. I mean, I've lost all interest in MOTUC b/c of Mattel, forget that mess. Star Wars? Same thing, I'm just not interested enough. Now, here it is almost three months later and I still don't have Masked Daken & BT Spidey from ML and it's being replaced by the Avengers line.
Trust me Pig, I've been patient. I could have bought these from China, the Philippines, or BBTS (and I'm talking like a month ago for the Philippines and what not). This already looks like it's going to be a mess. I don't know why I even care now that I'm getting the Hot Toys. I guess it's just cause I like the figures. I'm about done with retail. Normally I do most of my purchasing online anyway. Darn store exclusives. Sigh, patience, breath, patience.

You can hush. ;)
Also snagged another 4" Ult. Hawkeye to mod and add articulation to with a spare purple SE I found last night. May do the same for Ult Thor, too.
