The wave from Toys R Us appear to have been shipped to The Entertainer, which now sell them for £4 each. I picked up another Skrull, and they also had Iron Patriot, Mary Jane, Winter Soldier, Iron Spider-Man, Wrecker, AIM Soldier and Sub Mariner (Wave 5).

My local has loads of the AIM goon and Kitty nothing else. My local Tescos have bugger all MU now, just goes to show that they do sell.

I intend to check mine out see if they've got any Skrulls in, if not I could use a couple more AIM soldiers.

They seem to be doing relatively ok in the Disney store as well, I noticed that they had put another case out last time I was in.

Tescos however still have the Black Widow wave that's been there since the store opened

No love for MJ then?

Considering I've seen better looking crack whores, no.

It was a bust anyway all they had was 5 Kitty's

FPI had the Absorbing man wave in.

Its always worth looking. Those Kittys will be there for about the next 6 years.

Did you get any of the new MU? That's surprising quick of them, I didn't expect them to turn up so soon.

They were distributed by Diamond not Hasbro which is probably why it was so quick. I didn't, the only one I'm interested in is Absorbing Man & I've still got a couple from the Darkhawk wave to pick up yet.

I got the 2-pack of Robin and the Joker from Akham Asylum. Great sculpts but for the price you'd expect some fucking accessories. Biggest thing that pisses me off today in toys is the lack of accessories. I mean not even a fucking Bo staff for robin? Fuck you Mattel!!

It's mattel, you should just be greatful they're new sculpts

GI Joe is where the accessories are currently, those things come fully loaded.

Check these out:

I haven't been sold on the GiJoes something about thier legs just dosn't look right.
But man they do come loaded.

Yeah to be fair I was mainly venting at Mattel especially considering how over priced they are

Typical Mattel behaviour then, out of curiousity how much was it?

£30 inc shipping for the 2-pack. even DC direct has some bloody accessories. If their (mattel) nightwing doesnt come with at least his batons then they can forget it!

Sadly that's about right for two-pack nowadays

At least thrown in some Barbie accessories for fuck sake and make a brother feel like he's getting a deal.

You should've bought the City of Death set instead.

I did, the last one in the shop.

I also picked up some cheap AIM soldiers & a Skrull from the entertainer

City of Death?

Id take those Barbie accessories just for the principal darn it!!

The latest Dr Who classics set based on the classic 1979 story, featuring a suitably attired 4th Dr with a new scarf & sonic, & a Count Scarlioni with a stunning likeness of Julian Glover, interchangeable Scaroth last of the Jagaroth head, pistol & in scale Mona Lisa. Which almost certainly means very little to you

Seriously they have bloody bo staffs they could've packaged with the set they were just being cheap bastards

HAHA Im so lost on what you said. My earliset memory of the Doctor is Sylvester McCoy

makes me so annoyed Im waiting for afi, toyark and CTR's next QnA's to come up so I can hit all three witht hat question

At least your earliest memory of the Dr wasn't Colin Baker

All you really need to know is it came with a decent amount of accessories, great sculpts & it's from a popular story.

Dr Who scared the shit out of me when I was a kid. I hid behind the sofa after that scene with mirrors and someone's tattoo turning in to a big snake, I only came back out again five years ago.

I hope CO/UT give us a puppet of this:

Fox you are a very cruel and evil man

Sorry, but it's one of the few Peter Davison stories I can tolerate & Nerys Hughes is kind of MILFy in it
