I'm just starting my Marvel legends collection and I know its kinda late but I'm gonna order alot of stuff online.
So I just got loose off of ebay from the sinister six box set Green goblin and Venom.
I also just went to tru and picked up Venom and Spiderman from the spiderman classics line.

^ nice pickups. the Goblin figs from series 14 and from SMC are much better than the boxset version though. you should check out Target for SMC right now as the one i go to in South Durham had them on clearance today for $2.48 each. they only had 2 Juggernauts and a Tarantula left though and i had gotten each at full price when they first came out. which kind of sucks, because if i waited 2 months i could have gotten both for half the price of one.

Yeah I'm pretty sure the 2-packs are exculsive to TRU and comic shops and the single line is exculsive to Wal-Mart.

Yeah, Nemesis is exclusive to Wal-Mart. From what I've watched on youtube the Nemesis series looks like crap. |

So I went to Wal-Mart before yesterday and was lucky enough to find the camo Punisher variant which was the figure that actually made me want to start collecting. I found it somewhat hidden, but you can't really tell because all of my Wal-Marts are insanely messy. So I'm heading towards the front of the store with that and a few groceries I needed, and this older guy is walking awkwardly close to me. I'm a slow, easy going guy so there's not much stride in my step. As I turn a corner, the guy speeds up, grabs the Punisher, and speed walks to the register with it.
Wow...friggin wow. REALLY?!?!? I've never been more angry in my life. People around me were in shock. Now I know you guys are thinking, "Why didn't you pursue him?"...I'm 24, and have a horrible anger problem, especially with dumb shit. If I didn't just stand there trying to the breathe calmly, I may have pummeled a man almost twice my age for a plastic toy...and I didn't feel like being on the local news under the 'whacky' section. Some people though...

They all have more problems than Ares & Rulk & FFF wave.
Punisher is a giant. DD is puny, Beast & Tigra lack good hips, Nova looks like a happy meal toy, Black Bolt is just as bad as Adam Warlock. The main issue they lack more paint than those other waves because they were suppose to come out before them.

Some people though... thats crazy. you should have got him though or at least confronted him. all Wal-Marts have cameras so they could have looked at it and saw that he took it from you if anything happened. if i didnt attack the guy i at least would have made a scene and gotten a manager involved. |

That sucks Doomrider, I would of been so pissed.
And the articulation is what really bothers me about the nemmisis figures. This guy on youtube who does pretty good reviews did a review on the astonishing beast and it looks really shi*tty.
Heres the vid:
And if anyone has the camo variant or regular verison of the nemmisis series Punisher and has the Series 4? verison do you think you could to comparison pics of the height of the figs?
