And if possible, can you save me a shipping case or 2?

No stactions for you!

FRIGGIN' GRIZZLOR ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He's my favorite of all the Mini's so far!!!! I don't know why we got 6 crossbow arrows for him, when you can't take out the one that's actually in his bow?! But the rest of the weapons are really cool!!!! And fur, gotta love that!!!!

Of course, Stinkor is cool, his eyes are awesome!!! CC took a little bit to grow on me, but the snake head clamp is killer!!!!!!!!! All those hoses are gonna take some getting used to.

Big thanks to Darrel for the ML figs!

[Moondrake]

Brad, Check your PM's

Anyone else that collects ML call me!

[Skullface]

Had some luck today, but not that much. I hit like 4-5 stores, and the only new ML fig I found that I needed was the ML 11 Logan. No variants, and only other ones I saw were Vengeance, Wonder Man & Thing. But, at least I knocked another one out.

On the nicer side of things, I FINALLY found the Episode 3 Tactical Ops Trooper I've been searching for. He was the only one they had, and he was buried behind a bunch of Aayla Securas & Super-Articulated Clones. Still need a #66 Holographic Plo Koon if anybody sees one.

Jimmy - If you talk to Darrell before I do, let him know I scored a Spidey & Friends Iron Man he needed for Mike. (GREAT!) I should be in the store tomorrow afternoon, but if something prevents me from doing so, I'll probably stop in Sunday after work. (I know you won't be there, but if you could leave a note or something for whoever's working, it'd be appreciated.....)

Saw a few new things over the last day or 2 though. 1 Target I hit had the new "The Batman" figures out that have the new packaging. No villains though. My store also has the new "The Batman" Rotocasts. A 3rd Target I hit had the new packed Justice League single figures out, but all that was left was 3 Superman figs. Anybody looking for the newest WWE Classics can check Targets as well, as we have been getting them in force.

[JimmyPSHayes]

I'll let Darrell know about the Iron Man. He wanted me to post that he's also looking for the Batgirl & Clayface figs from the Batman line if anyone sees them. In other Darrell news, he broke Stinkor & Clamp Champ when he was taking them out of the package. I opened mine last night and managed not to break any of them, but Clamp Champ is REALLY delicate. I had to have Shawn help me. Just a word of warning for everyone

I thought it was just my imagination! I think they are made of a different material than the first wave. I don't think I'm going to try and articulate these. They do seem alot more fragile than the first ones, their arms and legs, and even fingers don't seem to be as plyable(sp) as before.

Brad, do you want me to try and get you Taskmaster and Ultron.

[JimmyPSHayes]

Compu-If at all possible, the TM you got me is for an X-Mas gift for the DeKlab manger-I still need one. If you can grab one,please let me know! I'd give you all the free comics in the world and Dennis would be your slave for a day!

DONE AND DONE!!!! But only if you take the "Dennis as a slave" off the table!!

Skullface-I am an idiot. I left the house without the Star Wars figs. I should be able to bring them tomorrow. Sorry

[gamera8]

that sounds familiar, jimmy!

[Moondrake]

OK, update! I got the last two Ultron's and the last two Taskmasters they had! They still have a bunch of WonderMan, Logan, Thing, and Crappy Vengeance.

All I need is X-23 and The Maestro Hulk from the Apocalypse wave! Oh yea and the varients from the past two waves.

[BrianS]

Hey guys, hate to say it, but it looks like I'm going to have to miss the Christmas party. I have some stuff that I can't skip going on this weekend, and while I thought it was on Sunday, it turns out it's on Saturday.

I hope everyone has a great time, though, and hopefully one of these months I'll stop being the phantom Horde member.

[D-Day V1]

Who's all going to the party? or should I say who isn't going?

[Skullface]

SCORE! I headed into work this morning, and BAM! We finally got in a case of ML figs, all Series 11. Grabbed my Taskmaster, Ultron, Iron Man & Scarlet Witch off the pegs, but we didn't have any variants.

Compuman - I haven't been on the boards since Tuesday night, and I just now saw your post about Ultron & Taskmaster. Thanks for picking them up, but if anybody else needs them, please spread them around. If there are no takers, I'll pick them up so you you aren't stuck with them. Maybe Gabe needs them for Anthony?

Jimmy - I had to babysit my nephew yesterday, otherwise I would have made it into the store. I should be able to head over there on Sunday though.

To sum up my current ML needs, I only need the Logan & Wonder Man variants from the Legendary Riders, and from the Apocalypse Series, I need Maestro, X-23 and ALL 5 variants.....

Oh, and to answer Dennis' question, I will not be at the X-Mas party Saturday, as I'll be at my sister's house for her birthday.....

EDIT: Any Venture Bros. fans REALLY need to bookmark this site, as it's the BEST place for any news you'll find on the net.

http://www.livejournal.com/users/jacksonpublick/

To sum up his latest entry, DVDs are still coming, there is/will be Venture Bros. aparrel at Hot Topic, and 11 of the 13 Season 2 episodes are written, with varying degrees of post-production progress.

Only other news I've seen today is that Robot Chicken Volume 1 will be available on March 28th. It'll have all 20 Season 1 episodes, and several extras. My next guess is that the Venture Bros. DVDs will come out that same day as well......

[Son of Keldor]

mudd- check w/ jimmy and see what figs he has for anthony, and if those aren't in his pile i'll take them off your hands on saturday- if your coming out?

=)

[JimmyPSHayes]

That's awesome news about Venture Bros. I have a RARE day off today, So I might swing by Hot Topic and check for them!
On a side note, I could use some prayers and good thoughts today as I've got a doctors appointment and I'm hoping to get some good news!

jimmy --

i hope everything went well for you!

Found out some interesting news tonight. I managed to find out the Target item number for the upcoming 4H DC comic figures. They're going to be $10 each, and they are slated to be integrated into the action figure aisle when Toys resets the week of 1/1/06. Now, Mattel could, of course, have problems launching these on time, as most online retailers list them as having an estimated ship date of March 2006. I also found out that the "Tech Toys" aisle is staying, so my store won't be going back to the 3 action figure aisle setup. We'll just have the 2 aisles. I haven't seen the layouts yet, as we won't get them in until the end of next week, but I did read in our transition guide that in whichever aisle it is, Star Wars will remain the lead-in (or first brand in that aisle) until a revision date of 4/30/06, when it will move to make room for the Superman movie figures. The guide also said that the Marvel figures would have a bigger presence in the aisle. Guess that means we'll get rid of some serious crap to make more room for Spidey, ML, and the upcoming Marvel Legend spin-offs that I've read about on other retailer sites. (AFX has some interesting pre-orders) Maybe we'll start carrying Showdown & Figure Factory now. I'll post more when I get more info.

I also just read in the 2002 forum that Boomerang is going to start re-running the 2002 MOTU cartoon starting 1/23/06! Maybe we can get another Family Guy situation, and if the ratings are there, MYP & Mattel will agree to make more episodes. Here's hoping!

[Son of Keldor]

sweet news brad! too bad you won't be able to make it tonight.

i hope things kick off when they start rerunning the cartoon as long as they put it in a good time slot.
