Action Figure ChatterHave you gotten a great deal or gone on an action figure shopping spree lately? Tell everyone about it here!
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

Please wait...

I live here in Tampa, FL, the land of Busch Gardens, a damn fine Hockey team (I know, it's TRULY counter-intuitive), a CRAPPY Pro-football team (also counter-intuitive), a decent baseball team across the Tampa Bay in St. Petersburg, FL the TB Rays, an MLS league soccer team the Rowdies...eh, one year good the next garbage...they are a crap shoot, a Hard Rock Seminole Casino, the best thing about Tampa is it is where my LEGALLY married husband and I can call home now and not have to up roots and move for class equality as equally tax-paying citizens but second class citizens trampled upon by those who sought to subjugate us and say the separate was equal for us...and it houses the first University I ever graduated from with my first BS and MS and soon dual-PhD's, the Great University of Florida in Gainesville only an hour north and last, but so far from least just across on I4, about a 50 minute drive the great, incredible, awesome Walt Disney World (where the hubby and I spend MOST of our time together on date nights...we are true geeks/nerds, me with my 7 BS and MS degrees in things like Biochemistry/Analytical Chemistry, Physics/Math, Molecular Biology/Genetics, Nursing, Immunology, Virology and he also having his BS and MS in Geology and working in the Environmental Engineering sector) and Universal Studios where we are Florida Annual Pass holders at both (Yes, I spend a great deal of time at Islands of Adventure and at Hogwarts...lol. If any of you have every been to the Marvel Section of Islands of Adventure you know how incredible the one merchandise store is, but extremely inflated theme park prices...and now that Disney owns Lucas Arts and Marvel...oh it is so nice!)
But I am posting because everyone keeps posting about KB here, and I am assuming that is KB Toy Stores and I thought that they went out of business? There are none here in my area and we are ALWAYS the LAST to get in Wal-Mart, Target even Toys R Us the new Toys that come out in Marvel Legends or other lines...
It is just so sad to hear everyone talking about KB and I miss them so...lol! And as some of you mentioned...none of the stores around here do any real mark downs either.
Just wondering if anyone knows where the closest KB Toys was to Tampa, FL? I'd consider a quick flight out for a toy haul at a great location for one! I still greatly miss the F.A.O. Schwartz we had in Orlando...but I get to NYC 2x a year at least for that fix...lol.
If only Big Lots would get some of the stuff from Wal-Mart or Target they don't sell. And is anyone else tired of seeing the same 2-3 figures at your stores section of Star Wars the Black Series...Guido, Slave Leia and usually Kenobi...the same 3 here, where ever you go...lol.
Hope everyone is having a great TGIF and plans for a great weekend!

I picked up a couple of black series clone troopers. great figures I just wish they had a little battle wear
This is a print by Terry Huddleston. You can't tell much by the photo, but it's done in that comic book dot style (the official name escapes me).
The 3D covers are for my brother (huge Batman fan) and the Venom issues (all 3) has been a run I've been wanting to read for a while.
Found these for great prices Optimus was one I've been wanting a lot. Tracks is also one of my favorite TF's.
FINALLY, I GOT TIGERHAWK! I found another grail! I had this as a kid and adored it, metal scratches, missing accessories, other play-wear and all. I'm SO happy I found him ( at at the last few minutes of being there too) and only need to buy a missile. He even had his box and instructions! I was able to talk the seller down a few bucks too!
A week or two later, I went to my game, movie, and music store and found this and Community season 3 for VERY cheap! This has been quite the year for collecting so far!
I also went to my local game, movie, and music store and found this little gem.
And so ends my spending for a few weeks.
Also picked these up for ten bucks each at Target. Still not sure about opening Crosshairs though.
EDIT: I opened up Crosshairs and he's not as bad as he looks in the package.
Hush re-release of Nightwing, Scareglow, and Ivy. This has always been my favorite Nightwing, based on Jim Lee's legendary run on Batman.
Got a good deal on this X-Men box set
Got lucky at Target and found them
ebay win on these NECA turtles
bunch of loose figures from China-based ebay sellers. Good deals on all of them!
Picked up this huge guy
and I found a bag of wepons at the flea market for 50 cents that had five 6"scale katannas in it
