Marvel Toys on Sale

I'm contemplating Superion right now before my usual Sunday trip to Target. I know he's on the shelf, but I don't think they have any of the other Aerialbots left

Silverbolt definitely sticks around due to the price. But those Aerialbots get picked up quick and restocks are few and far between around here.
 
Amazon has a countdown and it's 3AM EST. Summbitch... not sure I'm getting up at that time in the hopes for a couple sets I've held off on.
 
I've had an itch to get Rogue/Destiny for a while but didn't want to do $50 for two bare bones figures. They're down to $40 now......do I hold out for better?

Also, the Wolverine/Psylocke is now $30. I couldn't care less but that Wolverine (who suffers from basically-the-same-alternate-head syndrome), but Psylocke, while in as niche a look as you could get, looks amazing and is now basically the cost of a single ML.

Lots to think about.

EDIT: I thought about it. More specifically, I thought about that Psylocke and how it's literally a three-issue look for her, way back in like 1990. Never used it again (as far as I know). That costume, for as short a life as it had in comics, required all new parts that I don't see how can be reused on any other figure. That Psylocke almost......ALMOST looks like a passion project slipped through the cracks at bean counter HQ, and it's an example of ML at its best. We don't see these types of figures often enough.

Most of these deals will likely be back around Black Friday. I am always buying a certain item every Christmas season, which is on sale now for it's usual Black Friday price. Neither Wolverine/Psylocke or Rogue/Destiny seem to be the hot ticket items after the initial die-hard fans bought them. Destiny is pretty bare bones as is Rogue, plus Destiny was dead for most of my Marvel reading days. The Wolverine heads from that 2pk are among my favorite and look great on the 97 body for a general 90s comic look. As for Lady Mandarin or anything else, she's very detailed but wasn't around long in the comics as I remember.

I believe the Destiny/Rogue pack was an Amazon exclusive, so take that into account. I don't think either of these will be in short supply come Black Friday though. Plus Amazon seems to think $4 is a huge discount nowadays. I was going to get a backup Green/Yellow Banshee but $18 for a figure that's entirely reuse besides the paint isn't making me jump.

You're right. I think you sold me on waiting on Rogue/Destiny. But that Wolverine/Psylocke.......$30 might just be the right price especially taking Psylocke into account. I'm going to drive to work and think about this :)
 
MCU Electro seems like the better deal anyway as it's nearly half off. I would have bought him just for the electrical effects for my Storm figures but the 97 2pk with Storm comes with them, but if I weren't already getting it, I'd get it just for those effects and then offload the figure. Also Blob is up for $60-something. I know a lot of people were bemoaning his price for almost a year because it kept going up.

That R/D set was down to $25 when I bought in March, so I'm sure you can do better than $40 if you wait a bit longer.
 
I'm trying to get some of these prices, but it's telling me I'm not a Prime member. I have been for years. I guess it's not recognizing me being on my wife's account? I don't want to pay a separate Prime membership fee for the household. I always assumed I was a member because I've always had free shipping.
