The figures I bought today from the Star Wars Saga Collection are: Anakin Skywalker, General Grievous, Han in Carbonite, and the Firespeeder Pilot. I'm glad I got the Firespeeder Pilot even though he was fifteen bucks at the collectibles store. He was worth the money and he was the only one they had. I didn't just go to Time Tunnel to buy him, but I also got The Evil Dead video poster which is pretty rad. I bought the other figures from Wal-Mart.

I'm half considering collecting the Wild West cowboys of Moo mesa, mainly since they are going to appear in Tales of TMNT #21. They are also created by TMNT artist Ryan Brown.
http://www.virtualtoychest.com/moomesa/moomesa.html They look like a similar designed toyline to the original TMNT but I'm not sure on scale, does anyone know how big these guys are? |

Just and FYI, the Tales of TMNT issue they are in came out a couple of weeks ago. As for the figures, as I recall the Coboys toys were bulkier, but more or less in scale. |

The collectibles store gets a lot of action figures earlier than places like Target and they also have lots of vintage stuff. I don't feel I've been ripped off even though the figure was fifteen bucks. I wasn't gonna let the Firespeeder Pilot fall in the hands of a careless child whose mom buys if for 'em for their birthday. I was desperate anyways and I didn't want the figure to fall into the wrong hands since it was the last one they had.

That sucks, hopefully you'll get restocks soon. I really hope we get the pallet displays here, I know so many people that are after these and it's going to be a mad rush to get the few that I'm after.

From the reports I've read, stores that received the end cap displays like this store will not get the pallet display as well. It's little lose to me. That store isn't local to me. It is about a 60 mile round trip for me. I'll wait for them to show up locally. |

Wow, this is the first time ever in the history of the wal-mart I go to, that a toy has been so picked clean within days. There were no single pack wal-mart exclusive figures left. There were a few 2 packs, King Pin vs. Daredevil and Hulk vs. Leader. I got the Hulk as I've been waiting for this figure since Marvel Legends started. Sure there was a pretty good one in the first wave, but I only got him out of boredom because he just wasn't as cool as the first wave Cap or Iron man. I finally have a 70's comic book version of the Hulk in all his fully poseable goodness. I passed on Kingpin and Daredevil, because even though Kingpin the character is awesome, and the Daredevil wasn't that bad looking, some figures just don't look good in the Marvel Legend style. In fact, I dislike most Marvel Legends figures even though I have 98% of them. I really hate the ball hips, in fact that's the first thing I notice on a figure. How well they could have looked if they used the hips that the first series Iron Man and Captain America had + the third series Ghost Rider, and very few others from then on. It just looks more natural even if it doesn't get as much range.
Anyway, I also snagged a DC Superheroes Superman, and even though Supes isn't my favorite of all time, this toy kicks ass! I'm so impressed that Mattel did something right, I like this guy more than most Marvel Legends it's so good. The only problem was the $10 price tag. He comes with no accessories and only a comic book. Marvel Legends are a far better deal unfortunately. Still Supe's sculpt is awesome, is it 4horsemen because it REALLY looks like it. He'll fit right in with my Motu figures. Today was an awesome toy day, even though I went for something else, I'm just glad I made it before everything was gone. I did see the 4 packs and wow do the monsters look awful. The young avengers weren't bad, but not $30 good. I think these wal-mart exclusives will die down eventually, it'll be like the Elvis doll by Hasbro in the early 90's. It sold so well in the first few weeks that retailers were selling out, but after the second shipment arrived it became a huge peg warmer because all the evlis fans got one and no one else had interest in them. After all the scalpers hog them from other people (bastards) Wal-Mart will order a ton more because it's their exclusive, and all the collectors will be able to pick and choose what they want rather than have to hunt down figures only to get 1 or 2 or none at all. peace |

I found em' this morning! One store I went to had the pallet display, but it was totally empty. Then I went to another store and found this...
 Man, I was so excited. $87.50 well spent in my opinion. |

 These are some pretty cool figures. It's too bad that they make you buy 10 figures just to complete Giant Man. Of course then I went and bought the eleventh figure any way. So maybe I don't have strong grounds to complain. click here if you want to see a bunch of other photos. |

TMNTman, I read your review on the newest Marvel Legends. I found it quite helpful and it really cleared things up for me. I'm glad I can rely on your reviews for when I know whether or not to buy a particular action figure. The only thing I have a question about is if the two Weapon X figures are shipped at the same ratio. I'll probably build the Giant Man figure, but I'm not sure what the shipping ratio for the variant is. Is he as common as the regular Weapon X? Well, lemme know and thanks in advance.

I can't say they are shipping in exactly equal numbers, especially since these seem to be shipping in three different style cases (regular case, PDQ display case, and pallet display) But neith variant is a case figure. The Weapon X variant is shipping at least one per case. The Sentry variant is also fairly common, but there are reports that the pallet cases did not contain the Sentry variant. I've never seen the pallet so I can't confirm or deny that. |

So the only Star Wars figure I need now is Commander Cody. I hate to ask for help, but is there anyone that could go out of their way and pick me up one if they're stores have extras? I've never seen one around here. Saw the VTSC for the first time today, and passed. $10 a pop is just too much, and they didn't have the scout trooper which is what I really want.
Ended up getting the firespeeder pilot, Juggernaut, another Karai, and a Cybertron Soundwave. I think I'll open this Karai as the last one I bought I left MOC. peace |
