Let's see. This year, I've bought ML 8 through 11, SMC, FF movie, and two boxed sets. I suck at math, but I think my initial estimate of 300 dollars was way too conservative.

I would have bought Figure Factories, but nah, spending too much on ML alone, and Star Wars.

Okay, so I found regular Super Skrull on Monday night. Then last night I found both of his variants in one store. I picked them up because I will either have an army of Super Skrulls or have the regular be able to turn invisible or flamy!
The store didn't look like they had three cases worth of figures on the shelf. My guess is that both variants ship in the same case as the regular Skrull. So while the regular Skrull is usually 1 per case, the "variant" case has a regular, both variants, and the rest of the common figures.

I just got my Scarlet Witch in the mail (that was really fast shipping!).
I don't know if Toybiz went back and changed the face or if this is the same, but the sculpt isn't that bad. My biggest complaint is that they got sloppy with the paint; it has little dots all over her face like she has freckles or zits.

I actually went out searching for ML today, and found nothing, and nothing... Kaybee had nothing and a few local comic shops had common figures at insane prices... 14.99 for weapon X wolvie? 30$ for the bullseye variant?

It's official: Las Vegas has the laziest  ers in the United States as every Target, Wal-Mart, Toys R' Us, and mall I checked today were empty and not a bit restocked. If I were a god, I'd kill everyone in Las Vegas.  However, I did find Ultron and Taskmaster at a local comic shop and picked them up for 9.99 a piece. |

Chase, how's the paint job on your Taskmaster? Face/Head: The skull is painted well and there isn't a flaw on the hood Body: I don't see any painting flaws in the primary body Belt/Cape: The part that connects the cape to each end (orange shiny bit) has white specks but the belt is fine Arms/Hands: The arms are fine, but the left hand has a speck of black paint Legs: The legs are good for what I can see through the packaging Ultron looks pretty. I'd open it if I didn't intend to sell it.  |

I don't think you'll get much for Ultron. No one really likes him.

As often as Ultron falls over, you should have an easy time.

Oh yeah, the local comic shops wanted like 15$ each for ML 11... a set I'm not really interested in... 8.99, and I would have bought Grimm for the hell of it...
No scarlet witch of course...
I just realized that by the time I get my 4 i ordered from spams, and 4 i bought from a user here, I will have 20 ML's... not bad for 2 months of work.

And you'll probably have three times that, this time next year.

I should be passing the 100 mark pretty soon. Not that I count them once a week.
