QUOTE(lowyatben @ Jun 26 2012, 04:31 PM) By the way, here's the original post about the demise of the MU line. FYI, Mr Curto is actually Dan Curto of Rebelscum.com Could this other line that's in danger of cancellation... Star Wars???!!! OMG!!! Or Transformers???!!! [TF fans, please insert reactions followed by exclamation marks] Maybe it's the Clone Wars line? Hopefully we'll see more movie line figures after that! Some of the Clone Wars figures are nice, I have to admit, but there was no way I was going to start an entirely new collection after so many years of collecting movie line figures, since they're not compatible with one another. I yielded to temptation last week and picked up 3 Clone Wars Jedi, though!  I loved DCIH - the only reason I started on MU was because DCIH kind of ended. I've always been more of a DC fan than a Marvel fan, though, so maybe I'm biased. I liked the simplicity of the DCIH figures, and although they lacked accessories most of them didn't need them. IIRC Green Arrow is the only DCIH figure I own which has an accessory, and the collection looks great.

Giant-Size X-Men 6-pack is going for RM149.95 at TRU now.. I think it used to be RM189.95. Either that or RM149.95 sounds much cheaper now.

QUOTE(soulsync @ Jul 8 2012, 01:15 AM) X-Men Collector 6 Pack out in TRU now but the price is mahal giler ~ RM324 ... averaging each figure for RM54 !!!  Cyclops and Marvel Girl are just recolours of the 2-pack, and not as nice imo. Iceman looks really scary for some reason, but this recolour is probably nicer than the carded version. Mr Sinister looks the same as the 2-pack version. I've never seen an Apocalypse figure before, but it looks decent. The one I like really really like a lot is Angel, but I don't think I'll be buying this pack anytime soon especially as I just got the old 6-pack for RM149.95 after waiting for a year or so...

QUOTE(FindingScreemo @ Jul 9 2012, 09:22 AM) Lol. I was selling the box set on behalf of my friend for only Rm 120 earlier this year. U missed it bro  I know - you actually offered it to me too! But I said no because I wanted to be fussy about the face paint quality so rather sit at TRU aisles looking at half a dozen boxes trying to find the one with the least paint defects...  Thanks anyway, bro!

QUOTE(fallenkia @ Sep 18 2012, 12:40 AM) newbie question, Can i know what is "BW"?  Black Widow, I think. I've never seen her in KL either, but I've seen her in TRU Singapore.

In a way I'm thankful that I can't find BW (other than in Singapore). Once I get her I have a bad feeling that I'll end up buying the entire team just to complete the set. For me the deciding factor whether I start collecting a series or not is usually the quality of the girl figures. If the girls are horrid (or non-existent) I usually skip the entire series unless something really catches my eye. Once I get BW I'll start looking for a Thor, and all the Thors and Caps look really bad so far. Iron Man and Nick Fury are the only two really nice ones (and I have them both from the old Iron Man series).

Ya, because I can't get her in the shops! You're right that BW is pretty well done, but the one I saw in Singapore had some blemish on the face, and there was only one. So once I get Widow (once she's available in the shops in KL) I'll probably be forced to get the others, even though Thor (if he actually looked like he did on the card for the axe thing version it wouldn't be that bad, in fact quite good, but he looks nothing like his card pic) and Cap are quite horrid. Hulk is too, but I can get the normal Marvel version.

Wow - never seen that Masters of Evil pack anywhere in Malaysia. Must cost a bomb - thankfully they don't have Ultraman Moonstone in there or I'll be forced to get one too. As it is it's quite hard to resist liao.

This wave is so hard to find out there. I was so lucky to find a Kang and Punisher, but I have never seen Scarlet Witch, She Hulk or Professor X on the shelves ever. It's like the entire waves just never arrived. The Beta Ray Bill wave is the latest wave on sale in most places.

QUOTE(sethreborn @ Oct 13 2012, 02:38 AM) congrats on the find!! where did you find your kang and punisher? i haven't gotten the chance to hunt them yet. was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction. i would appreciate that, please and thank you. A bit embarrassing, but I can't remember for sure. It was most likely at TRU KLCC.

QUOTE(cranx @ Oct 24 2012, 01:41 PM) how much is the Avengers 8 pack? Hasbro QC is down the drain especially Scarlett figure. Can't find any with proper eyes. see below worst example. » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « iirc, it was just under RM250 at TRU. There are tons of them, though, so you should be able to find at least a few with nice eyes for BW. Also keep an eye on Thor and Loki's eyes, but BW's are the ones which range from really hot to really warped. I saw some decent ones in TRU KLCC and TRU Ikano, although the nicest one (imo) in Ikano was missing Hawkeye's bow. I bought it anyway...

Picked up Scarlet Witch at Parkson KLCC today - didn't look like there were any more, though. Quite a few white Spider Mans and at least one Punisher left. Isetan KLCC also had a couple of Kangs. No sign of She-Hulk anywhere in KLCC.
On an older note, there's a single Kitty Pryde and Havok (not sure if these two are still sought after, but it's been a while since I've seen them) in Parkson Old Klang Road (the old Yaohan). Good luck and happy hunting all!!

Was at TRU Bangsar Village today and saw they had an Avengers Black Widow, a MU Thanos and a MU Dark Hawkeye on the pegs. One figure which I'd never seen before were an Iron Man 2012 (or some year like that. It's the Arno Stark Iron Man).

QUOTE(FunkyMonkiBaby @ Dec 12 2012, 11:23 AM) It may be an old revision assortment finally arrive at TRU. That Iron Man figure was also spotted at some Parkson several eons ago. So did you buy any of them? Those I mentioned were still on the pegs when I left. I did pick up Constrictor and Juggernaut, though.

As at yesterday, TRU at Great Eastern Mall had a single Marvel's Hercules for sale on the shelf. No sign of the others in the wave.

I bought Aurora in Parkson Sungei Wang two days ago. For those still interested, there was still a grey Hulk, Baron Zemo, the spacesuit Iron Man and the black Spider Man on the pegs there (in addition to the Pucks and others which regularly adorn the Marvel section).

Finally got my Wasp from TRU Mid Valley yesterday. I can't believe she was that hard to find!
Does anyone know what's the best way to use her accessory? It can't stand like Ant-Man can, and surely I can't place her in somebody's hand?

After a year of regretting buying Cloak when I couldn't find Dagger (and being tempted to buy the whole pack of 12 figures at vHobby), finally found her in, of all places, Parkson Pavilion. If any of you have Cloak and are dying to complete the team like I was, there was still one on the pegs when I left at lunchtime today.
Now just need to find a Northstar to go with my Aurora.....
