I encountered a similar clearance situation at FYE. I walked away with the Marvel Zombies box set for $4.83.

I'm new to the hobby, and don't have a very long list of wants. However, I think a box set of the original 1963 X-Men (Cyclops, Marvel Girl, Angel, Beast, Iceman + Magneto ala the cover of the X-Men #1) would be incredibly neat. It would be a nice compliment to the Giant Size X-Men #1 box set and it would be awesome to have the original team in their yellow and blue unis. Also, a non-furry, blue beast would be superlative.

I just picked up Giant Sized Astonishing X-Men just to see Joss' run (finally) end on that book. I love Joss, but the book had so many issues.

I usually just pick up what looks interesting on the rack, and a lot of trade paperbacks. I'm a Marvel Essentials/DC Showcase Presents junkie.

I live in Ewing, went to school at Rutgers-New Brunswick.

welcome as well, and yes, thats what i said, and did in fact, but my first pack was the joker and harley quinn pack. but again, welcome fellow jerseyite, what side of the greatest place ever are you at?

She was fine with me picking them up when I showed her the Buffy Watcher's Guide figure box set serial #'ed to 2500 that was on sale for $7.35 from $24.99.

I fell into the habit the same way. Hopefully your future wife is more tollerant than mine Oh yeah... welcome!

I was in FYE the other day, just killing time while my fiancee shopped for clothes. I noticed that there was a massive sale on action figures and took a look. When I saw the Marvel Zombies Minimates box set staring back at me for the grand sum of $4.83, I knew what I had to do, and I bought my first Minimates!

As I sit in awe of Zombie Col. America and Zombie Spiderman...I find it hard to believe I didn't pick these up sooner, but better late than never.

In the short term, I'll definitely be picking up the two Marvel Zombies 2-packs and then we will see where it goes from there.

As for me, I'm a recent college graduate, a research analyst for the NJ Department of Health, and I'm getting married on monday. I'm a big comic reader, but not much of a "collector" so to speak. Mostly trade paperbacks. I pick up action figures that amuse me, especially when I find a good deal. This has mostly amounted to some Marvel Legends, Adult Swim stuff, some Star Wars, and Buffy things for my fiancee.

I really like what I've read on these boards; it seems like a great community and I'm happy to join in.
