The Haul Thread

[karamazov80]

I picked up a Maximate Sentinel today. I'm well pleased. It's been in my LCS for around 2 years for near on £40. I went there today and looked in the sale area to find it for just a tenner. Needless to say I didn't hesitate to buy it.

That's great. I was actually at my local store yesterday, saw the Maximate Sentinel in the glass case as usual, but didn't notice a price tag anymore (it used to have one, and I don't remember what the price was, but it was too much. . .). I asked the guy working there how much it was, thinking it might have been on sale, too. He said, "80 bucks I think. Maybe 60, we have regular Minimates, though," pointing to the Spidey 3 Mates.

I picked up wave 1 of the Legendary Comic Book Heroes on a 50% off sale. The Pitt BAF is awesome. It was an absolute bitch to put together though. The legs took every ounce of muscle I had to get on. I pushed so hard at one point that the pelvis broke apart at the seam. A little ingenuity and superglue later & the BAF stood proudly! The store also had the LCBH 2-packs 50% off too. I passed on Conan/Warrl (cuz they had a ton) and got the last Body Bags set w/ Clownface & Panda.

...and I got my share of Lazarus Gundam's huge lot of Minimates. They're my first Minimates since before the Astonishing X-Men wave. I'm officially back in the club!

Absolute deal! Trouble is one Sentinel (especially when the first cost a tenner) is never enough :biggrin:

I know, I already searched eBay for a second one. I'm also looking for Galactus now. I doubt I'll find another for such a good price though. This is all I found. And it's a little out of my price range.

I picked up the new Superman Red, Superman Blue and Firestorm DC Superheroes figures yesterday at Target. They're nice-looking and fun figures, and they make me sad we're never going to get them as Minimates. Why do you make me customizing a Firestorm Minimate, DC Direct?

[Mattallica]

i pretty happy as i just won the pocket heroes JLA table and chairs on ebay for $.99

I picked up the Sentinel Maximate today at the local comics shop. It was nearly half off of its original price, and costed me $45. It seemed reasonable enough at the time, so I bought it. Though I think Galactus is a much cooler character, I think the Max-Minimate for the Sentinel actually looks a lot cooler.

I have sunk a small fortune into these damn things.

I am now the proud owner of one of Dr Grodbort's fine Infalliable Aether Oscillators. Specifically, the FMOM Industries Wave Disrupter now protects my home from rampaging ne'er-do-wells, overly-pungent anthropomorphic felines, and incontinent rhinoceroids.

The case that protects this fine weapon:

Upon opening:

On full display, serving as a warning to all:

Despite the good Dr. Grodbort's impeccable reputation, I felt I must properly test the device before trusting my life to it.

I thought I had set up all the proper safety gear for the test, but unfortunately I underestimated the device's power. Even the lowest setting there was a great deal of charring of the walls, and a neighbors canine companion was reduced to a fine white powder. After seeing the capabilities of this Disrupter, the neighbor did not seek recompense.

Further field testing will be required, but I am quite pleased with my purchase.

Great pix I looked at these myself but the CA Gun laws were fairly strict on molecular disruptors..

I hope this wasn't bought to help settle to any misunderstandings with the bill last time we had dinner at SDCC?

[Ivan]

No problem with the gun laws here. The registration form consisted of two checkboxes, one for "Legal" and one for "Not Legal". Make the right choice and your all set. A citizen initiative was recently passed that will remove the "Not Legal" checkbox starting in August. They said it was too confusing for the toddlers...

No worries about the bill. I did some research on the San Diego Wikipedia after returning from the con and found out that $38 is the going rate for a BLT in that part of town. (Something about a bacon famine?) Good thing I didn't order chips too.

Nice! You'll have to let me know where that swapmeet is when you've gone so I continue to look for bargains there

I hit the Motor City Comic Con today. There weren't a whole lot of Minimates but I pretty much bought everything I didn't have yet.

I got the Classic BSG set for $15, the Daredevil/Elektra pack for $5, the regular X-3 packs for $8 a piece and the variant pack for $12.

[karamazov80]

Congrats on the variant find!

Now that was a great find! Congrats!!! =)

So you're the one that snagged all of the Minimates at the Motor City Con, eh? I had just decided to really get into Minimates before going to the Con and was hoping to find some there. But, as you said, there was a severe shortage of Minimates in Motown.

[Dan]

My LCS had a sale on all Minimates the other day so I got a couple of X-3 packs for £3.99 each, SM3 Gwen and Spidey for £1.99 and BSG Wave 3 variant and regular Helo and Tyrol for £3.99. I think i bought all their remaining marvel sets. Unfortunately they didnt have X3 Wolvie and Jean, so my hunt begins.

Sorry Dan! I thought you meant the 'Phoenix' Jean Grey. The X3 series,IMOP, is all very elusive.

Look who I found today at a flea market for a whopping four bucks.

[minimadman]

I went into Target today to get iron Man on Bluray but instead I bought the entire Solomon Grundy DC Classics Series including the Deathstroke Variant.

[karamazov80]

Well, I nearly just got a Sentinel Maximate at a great price, but was sniped in the final second :

[blacksun1520]

So I scored a Power Slave on ebay for $8.00 including shipping, then today I was at Newbury Comics and found the Platoon box set mis-marked for $7.99, they put a DSS tag on it :tongue: . So I tried my luck at Target to find me a Galactus Mugg, but they only had Silver Surfer and Human Torch :sad: I have a feeling I'm gonna have to resort to ebay for this one.
