I hear you man. It's the frustration that's getting to you. I just went through September, and I didn't buy anything. I hadn't seen any sign of the new waves until today, and as frustrating as last month was. I had a great haul today that made up for it. I got Ultron, Darkhawk, Namor, Sif, (Black) Destroyer, and a (Yellow) Hydra trooper today at TRU. I went in just to look, because I wanted to use my coupon before it expired. I really didn't expect to find anything, but there they were. I spotted Sif first right in front of me and then the Destroyer. I also got X-23 at another store, and I saw a lot of Iron Grenadiers, Blue shirts and Vipers. Buying stuff online is cool and getting stuff from friends is even better, but there's nothing in collecting that beats scoring in the wild. Besides with MU, I notice that whatever it is that I missed out on initially I usually find in the wild eventually. Joes on the other hand ...well we all know how that goes.

I saw those today too. You're right about the paint jobs but, what I don't like is the shading they put on Power Man. I would've preferred him without the shading. That's another character I liked that they did that to along with CP Sabretooth. I also saw the CP Captain Britain today up close and I really like him. I guess I'm going to buy me another Spiderman.
Do you know of any way to get rid of the shading?

Pencil eraser. As crazy as that sounds, it can do the job as you work on it. I erased the entire moon logo off of Moon Knight and a little of the overshading they went too far on so I could make a different all white uniform character. With practice, you can clean up many Joes and MU figures with just an eraser.
Thanks man! |

It's not an instant thing, but it won't leave any damage. Just time, some pressure, and don't brush off the eraser remains so quickly as you work as they assist with the process. MU figures are easier than Joes.

That can also work on yellowed stormtrooper heads.
