I went to this, didn't see Rob, but I got some lovely pumpkins for a buck each! Take that Lowes, you and your price gouged jack-hole-lanterns!"

Hi, I was the second table back from the front on the left. Im sorry I missed you, I was there to three.

I also agree screw lowes you hear what they did to a lady who worked for them for 18 years after she tried to stop a shoplifter?

I want to thank everyone who showed up both new and old faces. I had a great time and look forward to meeting up with some of you at the comiccon. I got completely wiped out for my second tag sale and hopefully people left feeling they got a deal and found toys they can use.
Thanks again everyone! (sorry I missed you netkid)

Netkid, you probably missed Squibbles because he was buried under all the yard sale vultures. I got there a bit too late and missed the near brawl between two old dudes.

Squibbles hooked me up. I've had a blast this morning playing Joes with my son. He's loving Resolute Roadblock more than either the Skystriker or Mech Suit I scored. Go figure.

@DS, I'll think on the Skrulls. Not a priority but eventually one would be nice to have.

They are not going anywhere, if you decide you want one, well just grab it off the shelf.

I've seen 2 seperate auctions for the 4 members of the Wrecking Crew MU loose, asking $90-$100. Am I missing something? Any reason those prices should be that high?

[BEAM]

NO idea. I know Piledriver and Thunderball were comic pack figures and some of those older comic packs are pricey. I forget how the other two were packaged.

Perhaps it's also the ease of getting all at the same time.

Rumor around the web is the upcoming 3-packs are cancelled. They were the Emma Frost/Cyclops/ Juggie Colossus and Valkerie/Executioner/Thor packs. Word is that there is a good number of the other packs are still out on the shelves and there isn't retailer support. Smells like Hasbro passing the buck. Retailers order large quantities of initial waves and get stuck with them. Maybe Hasbro should make the first waves a more diverse assortment.

It's the Buzzer effect. They were peg warmers that no one wanted, we all passed them and they were never made again. So everyone left them on the pegs to rot and now that people have holes in their collections they are becoming more pricey.
I use Buzzer because it happened to me. Passed him up countless times just to pay 20 bucks for a loose one 4 years later. 7 dollars was too expensive in 2008 obviously.
Those early MU guys have pricey buy it nows, but if you wait for an auction it will be cheaper. Vision, 2 pack Toys R Us Sabertooth, Blade, Red Daredevil, and the Wrecking crew are just hard to find now and go up in price.

They other things that blow me away are the Giant Skrull and Giant Man. I grabbed them at TjMaxx for 10 bucks each.

Hard deal to pass on. Wish I had seen them at TJ Maxx/Marshalls.

Can't wait for the holiday stock to hit. There's always some good stuff, like Sentinels and Galactus last year.

Too bad about the 3 packs, I hope they are released. I'll scour eBay otherwise.

[mike000]

Ah gotcha. Supply and demand.
Beam that blows if the 3 pack rumors are true. I wanted 5 of the 6 figures from both those sets (have enough Thors). I had just tracked down the Rouge/ Longshot box. Really wish they didn't do the Jim Lee Rouge.
