Have you gotten a great deal or gone on an action figure shopping spree lately? Tell everyone about it here! :mrgreen:

I was wandering around Walmart and found all the Sentinel Series figures on sale for 6-7 bucks each, so naturally I bought one of each (except Omega since Mystique has the same Sentinel piece). Obviously I'm going to sell the Sentinel while keeping the figures. The robot sells for 40-50 bucks so I actually make a profit and it's like getting 6 figures for free!

Then I hopped on over to a KB Toys store and found two Shockers for 8 bucks each! I'm not a scalper but I did buy them both to see if I could trade Shocker for something nice later on

I found that same kind of deal with the Sentinel series. None of the Wal-Marts around here put their toys on sale for some reason though. I got the Omega Red instead of Mystique because I have 2 Mytiques I got for like $5 together.

I'm looking for good deals now. I think I'll check out KB in my area for Shocker.

Lol, I got the Mystique because I have two Omegas already instead :lol:

And it looks like Panther had a variant!? The one I bought just now has Silver eyes while my old Black Panther has Golden eyes @_@

Well my Panther had gold paint accidentally on his cape

Blegh, probably just factory errors then

Yeah the guy doing to gold paint probably got bored just doing claws and belts and did the eyes too :lol:

I was at KB today, they had like 6 of each figures...Shocker, Clear venom..Bleh...and the lame Pumpkin dude..PASSSS!!!!!!!!!!!

by **Dr Nightmare** » Fri Sep 15, 2006 8:11 pm

Yeah, the Pumpkin dude isn't even good for any customs I want to do :lol:

I saw a freakin' Hobgoblin too! The cool one in the original colors like in the cartoon but I didn't have any more money! AAARRRGGG!!!

Is Hobgoblin rare? :cry:

by **Shinobitron** » Fri Sep 15, 2006 8:33 pm

Not rare but hes been out for awhile now. I've seen tons around here so if you still what one later on and they are not in your area just let me know.

So far, I've bought 3 Hobgoblins. I turned one into Green Gobin, I repainted another with darker Orange and removed the glued on pumpkin bomb, and I'm using the 3rd for Martin Longbow. They are extremely unrare (common I guess) Wal-Mart in my area has about 8 and a bunch of Hydroman.

Man, Hobgoblin was the one figure I thought would be OBVIOUSLY short-packed, he's just so freakin' awesome! :lol:

by **VariablePenguin** » Fri Sep 15, 2006 11:14 pm

Its a very good figure too. So good, they obviously just recast it for the Green Goblin in the recently ML series.

umm... just wondering how much you guys normally pay for ML... at my walmart theyre 7.83... they had some at the mall for 10.99 and i went back cuz i got everything from walmart and i just need sentinels lower torso but at the mall they had the onslaught series except for abomination... and they went down to 7.99 so i got green goblin goin to get the rest they got soon

by **Dr Nightmare** » Sat Sep 23, 2006 11:59 am

About 7 to 8 bucks is what I've seen ML figures sell for at most stores. I would rather buy them in lots from ebay since I get a small discount and I like everything loose anyway :]

by **Dr Nightmare** » Sun Sep 24, 2006 6:57 pm

Woo-hoo! I just won a ML Phoenix for 8 bucks (with 3 bucks for shipping)

Now I'll wait for the seller to post more things to save some more... :mrgreen:
