    Harvinger Studios, Savage Crucible

    I don't know of anywhere else you can pick these up for retail. And I wouldn't wait too long on the barbarians, they're down to seven Warriors and Krieger's already sold out. Looks like you're ok on Who-Man, though.

    G.I. Joe Classified Series

    I feel like that's some weird "test" Walmart or something and it's never going to happen like that at 99% of stores. It's like when someone posts a pic from some lone, midwestern Target that somehow received dozens and dozens of something like the Psylocke Gamerverse set and has them for 50%...

    Four Horsemen Studios Mythic Legions

    Yeah, I'm fine with the price increase for BBTS and other retailers for the most part, I preordered a few things this morning. But the werewolf jumped from $80 to $110 on BBTS (Haven't looked anywhere else). That's closer to a 40% increase. That's a big hike.

    Oh yeah, wow. Lots of new stuff at Store Horsemen. Thanks.

    Four Horsemen Studios Mythic Legions

    A couple good and bad things with BBTS. First off, yikes, that's quite a price jump on the werewolf preorder. Now the good — they added a bunch of Poxxus wave figures and accessories to their Mythic sale.

    Marvel Legends Gamerverse

    For my money, I always prefered the Marvel Select Colossus to any of the ML versions — though I never picked up the Colossus/Juggs set. The MS version has the best head sculpt by far and I like that's he's tall and more thin. He's a bit tall for ML but he's not ridiculously large compared to...

    SDCC Exclusive Savage Land 3 pack (Rogue, Sauron, Shanna)

    You're not kidding. It's the only one out of the three I really want. I can live without the Rogue set and as big of a Joe fan as I am, I don't care that much for the Cold Slither stuff. For all the reasons you mentioned, I can't believe they'd make the Mustafar set a convention exclusive and...

    SDCC Exclusive Savage Land 3 pack (Rogue, Sauron, Shanna)

    This whole thing is so ridiculous. Are the Marvel Legends and Star Wars offerings wildly more popular than the GI Joe Cold Slither set? How has that been taking pre-orders for a couple days now and the other two sets are up for such a flash (at some ridiculous time of the day) and then gone...

    Snow C.A.T. Live!

    Someone on Hisstank says backer drops don't happen in real time and are "batched out" around 6 a.m. Makes more sense than anything else I've heard — although I feel like the drops did happen in real time with the Rancor and Ghost Rider campaigns. Maybe it has something to do with the updated...

    Harvinger Studios, Savage Crucible

    That's gotta be Canadian. They were $50 for me (which is still a bit high, IMO. I'm pretty sure they were $40 during the Kickstarter. And yeah, I get it with KS prices, but it's still a big jump.)

    Harvinger Studios, Savage Crucible

    Yeah, I was the same way, bought a few lizards and fish men initially then skipped wave 2 during the Kickstarter and the other preorder. But I've heard a lot of good things and after watching a few YouTube reviews, I figured I better grab a couple while I can.

    G.I. Joe Classified Series

    Cool, hopefully they're doing another run of the Marvel and Star Wars sets as well. Actually, it should just be part of the plan and they should let us know of that plan ahead of time, so the garbage that happened yesterday is avoidable to those of us who don't mind waiting a few weeks or...

    Harvinger Studios, Savage Crucible

    Most of the wave 2 stuff is still available at Savage Crucible. Just the Raider pack add-on set sold out last night. Since I had no luck with the Mustafar set earlier in the day, I ended up picking up Warrior and Krieger and may grab Jaeger and a couple more lizards if they hang around a...

    G.I. Joe Classified Series

    It says preorder now — is that what it was yesterday or is another run in the works? Has a ship date of Sept. 17. I really hope we see this happen with the other two sets.

    Deluxe Hulk Wave!?!

    Lightning bolt Sampson? But what about John Byrne's updated Sampson look? (Updated for the mid-'80s, anyway) I remember thinking that was pretty cool. Then I looked up pics ... Lightning bolt Sampson, it is!

    DC Mezco One:12 Collective

    There's definitely a lot of reasons not to like the company and how it does business — particularly when you have to order from them directly — but I've been very happy with every Mezco figure I've ever picked up. Honestly, if this wasn't a wide release, I wouldn't even be thinking about it.

    DC Mezco One:12 Collective

    No mention in more than 24 hours? How Mezco has fallen. I think this is one of the better Gunn Superman figures to be revealed. I really like the angry red-eye head and the portrait below looks pretty spot-on to me. I've been so hammered by preorder releases the past week or so I've been...

    Four Horsemen Studios Mythic Legions

    The more I looked at it, the less the armored look worked for me with the werewolf. I had actually planned to skip him when I made my preorder this weekend. Now? It's a lot tougher a decision. He looks so much better without the armor. It's too bad the lower leg armor isn't removable, too.

    Snow C.A.T. Live!

    A hundred times this. I've never actually been screwed over as a seller but I cannot be content or count the money from a bigger sale until I see positive feedback. I'm always worried the post office threw the package of a truck or I'm dealing with an unscrupulous buyer. I've actually reached...

    Snow C.A.T. Live!

    I wonder if it has something to do with international backers? I believe it's been mentioned they throw them in everyday at some point rather than one big lump toward the end. If that were the case, then you could surmise it's losing backers outside of the U.S. I don't know if that's the case...

    Four Horsemen Studios Mythic Legions

    Nice photos. I skipped on Sir Andrew but I now see that was a mistake I'll have to rectify. I don't know if you picked up Sir Ucczajk (the huge orge scale good knight) from the last wave, but him and Berodach together are ridiculously great.

    Hasbro Made-to-Order Figures

    I'm approaching this as Mephisto is a limited release figure that would never see the light of day otherwise, so obviously he's gonna be a bit more costly. The great job they did on the throne also makes this hurt a little less for me — and I'm one cheap bastard. And not to sound like a Star...

    General Marvel Legends

    That's funny, I had no problem with the AWE Striker sale and it's been nothing but misery since. I tried for about a half hour to get Mephisto and the Luke/Vader set to go through tonight with no luck. I'm not using PayPal in this instance so I don't know what I'm gonna do. It's unbelievable...

    Yep, the Claw came this afternoon. It's nice but I wouldn't have minded if it was about 15-20% smaller and more in line with the original in terms of pilot-to-Claw ratio. And you are absolutely correct about a flight stand. I was looking for a wire clothes hanger in the basement earlier in...
