In my pants

nah I only had a 6", but sometimes 6" is all you need

TRU has BOGOHP On all Marvel Toys, they had ML's in but sadly they only had Iron Man and Klaw then again happy cos they only 2 figs left and the rest sold out. It's a good sign

The ML situation at my TRU was the same yesterday, sadly both figures were Iron Man.

I've been trying to hit up local Targets as often as possible but all they seem to have is Cap from series 2 and Klaw from series 1.

Bucky Cap?

Restocks of Hasbro products (apart from Joes and SW's) always seem to suck, bloody retailers and their careful ways

No Age of Heroes Cap with the black tites

25% off Avengers toys at Argos, they also have around 25% off the small & medium Marvel lego sets & Ultrabuild figures.

Home Bargains had the 6" Iron Man Armoured Avenger figures in £3.99.

Also Asda had this awesome T-shirt in

Awesome

Did you buy it?

Oh yes

They just opened one near me but I very much doubt they'll have them

IMF if they have any want me to pick some up?

I imagine you look awesome in your grey t-shirt

If they have Crimson Dynamo and the other dude that would be cool, thanks LT

Was gonna go today but the weather turned me off. Playing witcher 2 on x-box instead. It's confusing as fuck

I'm disappointed with you. Lordtom in 2006 would have been down Home bargains like a rapist.

TK Maxx had a single DCUC All Stars Green Lantern in for £5.99.

& I saw the epic fail that are the Amazing Spider-man figures in smyths

Those figures are laughable. They actually seem to have gone back to 90s levels of articulation

The sad thing is they'll still be miles better than the crap matty will release for the Dark Knight Rises

I also don't understand why they've decided to do those crappy G1 jumpstarter inspired transforming spider-man toys.

It's a shame any movie line these days does not get the attention it deserves.
Ever since and including Green Lantern the quality has really gone down just to get a product out there.

I passed on the Avengers line. Something I would have never done.
Captain America was week. But I still collected those. But these Avengers I just can't do it.

I think due to a lot of lackluster lines there's less retailer interest in action figures in general at the moment, the current in thing seems to be lego compatible construction toys.

Hasbro can't keep pumping out the same old shit in different packaging year after year. Their lines are drier than a nun's gusset.

The problem is that thinking is ingrained into the business models of most toy companies, It's the malibu Stacy problem as opposed to keeping products fresh by being innovative they just change the accessory or paint it a different color & expect it to sell:lol:

I am happy today, a new Japanese merchandise shop has opened near me & they have loads of revoltech's & Figma's at decent (at least for Japanese imports) prices.

Any cute tiddly birds in there?
