  1. I really want the set with nightcrawler and storm. I haven't used ebay in a long time and actually closed out my account because I was sick of the high seller fees and paypal also taking a bit of whatever money I make. I may just have to open a new account though.....
  2. Wow, I am not the only one that has to deal with a douchebag collectible store owner who does this. I was actually in the store (TRU) one time when his employee was talking to him over the cell phone and telling him what MOTU and Marvel Legends figures to grab. I was tempted to go to his store and bitch him out, but I didn't. I just refuse to buy anything from there anymore except the occasional Citidel Paint when I am running low. Last time I checked he was selling minimates for almost $12 a pack, and that isn't even the variants. Freakin losers!
  3. I always try to pick up the rare minimates for others on here. It is just so hard with all the damn scalpers these days. I'm just glad that I found the case of Giant Sized X-men when I did a few years back. I know that helped out a lot of members. I also had a bunch of the black Spiderman set a long time ago.I don't even recall how I came across those. I never have that sort of luck these days though. Also, on a side note, my friend works third shift at Wal-Mart and he says that there are always a few scalpers lined up in the morning that go running to the toy aisles looking for Hot Wheels and other collectible toys. He said that they are so rude and will just push people aside. He has also caught them opening boxes that he has just brought out on pallets. I told him to start bending the packaging on all the Hot Wheels when he pulls them out and now he does. He said it went from 5-6 scalpers almost every morning to one or two
  4. BSG mates are warming the pegs around here too. I bought two sets to use as custom fodder since there were no new Marvel minimates, and I have to at least buy one set of minimates when I see them. I just can't resist. I am kinda pissed that they are all out of the Terminator minimates too. A few weeks ago they were warming the pegs and I bought two sets. I went back to buy a few more (I really want a couple sets with the SWAT guys) and they were all gone I'll have to check out the Madison TRU next.
  5. I checked a local (30 min. drive) TRU tonite and they had nothing new. I talked to a worker there and he said that they got a shipment in tonite and that there probably are new minimates that would be put out and available tomorrow. I probably have no chance of getting them due to all the scalpers in the Janesville Wi. area though
  6. Nice to see that I'm not the only one that uses superglue to close wounds. It is so much easier than driving to the E.R. and having to explain to them what happened. Not that I get in fights anymore, but I still occasionally slice myself open cleaning fish, or doing dishes, err...I mean wrestling alligators.
  7. I love my 360. My brother bought a PS3 and was trying to tell me how much better it was than my Xbox360. The only plus thing that the PS3 has is that you can play blu ray movies. That doesn't bother me though because I have no interest in getting any movies on blu ray. It took my brother about a month before getting bored with his PS3. I have had an Xbox360 since launch and play it almost daily. If you aren't looking to start buying blu ray dvds, I suggest getting an xbox360. You won't regret it. There are so many fantastic games for it (other than the overrated Halo games). Also, paying to play on Xbox live isn't a big deal. $50 for a year of the best online service is worth it to me. Oh yeah, and to get things back on track, I have been playing Rainbow Six Vegas 2 again after not playing it for about three months. I forgot how much fun, and how frustrating it can be at times. Also I have been playing Far Cry 2 quite a bit again recently.
  8. You mean this The Haunted? Awesome! No, this one THE HAUNTED
  9. Nope, I got the U.S. version. No french speaking Brutes for me
  10. I beat Halo ODST the other night and am trying it on legendary to unlock the hidden character for firefight. It is freakin hard on legendary. I swear legendary for Halo 2 and 3 was much easier.
  11. I am an old school metal head, although I do listen to other types of music. I still yell at my wife for getting me into country music lately Here is a basic list of what I listen to: Texas Hippie Coalition Rebel Meets Rebel Overkill Testament Metal Church Prong Pantera Type O Negative Sepultura Soulfly Rammstein Dave Brockie Experience Exodus Forbidden Death Angel Faith No More Slayer Mushroomhead Mudvayne 69 Eyes Moonspell Nightwish Helloween Masterplan Gamma Ray Edguy Sixty Watt Shaman Scissorfight Clutch Gwar Carcass Death Entombed Six Feet Under Obituary Black Label Society The Haunted Kreator Fear Factory Powerman 5000 Alice in Chains (the new album is pretty good and the new singer fits in well with the bands old sound) NIN The Cult Warrior Soul Morbid Angel Cannibal Corpse Overdose Puya Skindred I could go on and on. I have thousands of cds. Lately I have been listening to old 80's metal/rock like Van Halen, Trixter, Poison, Extreme, Billy Idol, Cars, AC/DC, etc. I go through weird phases like that.
  12. Toysrus.com has the new battle Damaged Wolverine/Gambit and also the other set with the final battle Deadpool for sale. Check it out and save yourself some gas money and pick them up online.
  13. I'm on usually late at night. Gamer tag is THE_CURSED1974
  14. I am currently playing Dirt 2. I thought i would play it for a half hour or so the other night and ended up putting a good two hours of play time in. I am also playing Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2. Soon I'll be giving Halo 3 ODST a try. I enjoy the other Halo games, but I'm not a huge fanboy of the game. Call of Duty Modern Weapons 2 cannot come soon enough. That is my biggest want at this moment. Only a month or so left of waiting.
  15. I'm over half way through the game currently. I like the story in this one better than the 1st Ultimate Alliance, but I feel they skimped out on a bunch of stuff. There aren't as many special moves for each character, and now there is only one alternate costume for each character. I don't know why they changed that this time around. The game is still really fun, it's just not as in depth as the first.
  16. I went to a local TRU to day and all they had were the series 1 Wolverine wave, A Hulk/Doom pack, a Punisher/Jigsaw pack, a ton of series 1 and 2 of BSG, and about five packs of Terminator minimates. Still no new Marvel ones or ANY Ghostbusters mates. I have a feeling I'm going to have to resort to Ebay for the Moonstone/Bullseye pack. I have tried trading with people on here that have extra sets of em, but have not heard back from anyone. Then again some people are asking quite a bit in trade for them on here. I remember back in the day when that wasn't the case. People would sell them for whatever they paid and then a few extra bucks to ship. I know that's how I and a lot of old members like TBT and Shanester used to be. Anyone remember when I got these for members and charged what I paid each, plus shipping?
  17. I guess it isn't so bad to be broke all the time. I need this set and finally have a little extra money come next payday. I am definitely going to pick this set up and possibly more off tru.com.
  18. It was ok. I was hoping for an epic battle between Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow, but we never really got one. I feel the final battle between the two was pretty lackluster Was hoping to see some awesome fighting choreography, but it was dull. Wayans was pretty bad in it also. I don't know if it was his fault, or if it was just the bad dialogue. The car chase scene was pretty enjoyable at least. Here's hoping that they go with a different director for the next one and hopefully Cobra Commander get his trademark mask and not whatever that hideous contraption he was wearing at the end of the movie.
  19. I'm taking my son to see it in an hour. The few reviews that I have read thus far have been pretty positive. I really am not liking the super suits that they wear though. One of the great things about the toys and toons was that they all had their own look and style to them. They didn't look like some generic military team, which was part of their charm. I'm hoping to see a lot of action and a half way decent storyline. I hated Transformers 2, and almost walked out on that movie half way through. I'm pretty much positive that G.I. Joe won't be that horrendous.
  20. I really like your werewolf. An American Werewolf in London is probably my favorite werewolf movie! I just heard that it is going to be remade though, which is completely unnecessary. Oh well, I'm sure it can't be as bad as An American Werewolf in Paris.
  21. My comic shop got the Wolverine wave in before series 25. He said he didn't know what was up, but gave them a call. He thought that maybe he forgot to order them for me, but looked at his records and saw that he did. The distributor said that they were in and they had no idea why they hadn't shipped out. Three days later he got them and I just picked them up today. I suggest having your lcs, or wherever you ordered them from call and look into it. I really like this wave. I just need an extra Iron Man body to make another Iron Man since the bolt face one came with two masks, which I wasn't expecting.
  22. I have mine done, unfortunately the kids broke my camera and all I have left is theirs, which is old and takes crappy close up pics. Time to buy a new one ASAP! Hopefully I'll get a pic up before time runs out.
  23. Edited post just for you! That provides horrifying imagery when combined with Gooey Ray, thanks for that... That's just wrong
  24. I keep hearing about more and more exclusive mates being released at TRU and was wondering if people can shed a light as to what the upcoming releases are. I'm talking about a figure, or figures that can only be obtained at TRU. So far I know of four that have come out: Gauntlet Tony Stark/Stealth Iron Man Wonder Man/Union Jack Wolverine/Agent Zero Wolverine/Silver Fox I have heard rumors of others, but haven't seen anything official stated. Then again I am way behind on minimates as of late. Today I finally got Wonder Man/Union Jack, Wolverine/Agent Zero, Wolverine/Silver Fox (thanks Mattallica for those), the Villians box set, Logan/Special Ops Sabretooth, Special Ops Wolverine/Deadpool, Wolverine/Blob, and Logan/Sabretooth. For some reason my LCBS got series 26 in before series 25.
