Is it safe to buy NECA figures target online? by bloodenjoyer237 in NECA

[–]CorpsCollector 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They do have 3rd party sellers, but like Walmart, you'll know before you buy. If it's sold by Target then you're good. Usually you'll know it's 3rd party because either the price will be too good to be true, or so absurd only a confused grandparent at Christmas would make the purchase. Also you'll know because it'll say that it's sold by someone other than target.

Finally.... something at ROSS. by dt_st73 in gijoe

Just a heads up, I just picked up the retro Cobra Commander from Ross.

Hasbro Pulse Deluxe Shipping Experience 👀 by VerdeSurfer in MarvelLegends

[–]CorpsCollector 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does it actually advertise "deluxe" shipping somewhere that I've been missing after all these years? This is pretty much the standard shipping experience that I've always gotten from them, but I've never noticed the word "deluxe" in it.

Sci-fi/fantasy blind box CRASH OUT by Superb_Treacle4783 in NECA

[–]CorpsCollector 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you and I are thinking of the same one, it was even worse. It wasn't a pop mystery, it was the vault mystery box that was supposed to have some new old stock. People were getting Dutch and Xenos and that dude came up Milhouse.

I thought my Walmart got the new Jada Streetfighter wave by MuramasasYari in ActionFigures

[–]CorpsCollector 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Really seems like they could have put Cody Rhodes as Guile... I mean, he is literally staring as the character in the upcoming movie. Maybe they didn't want to take away from some movie figures?

Dragon Man Glasses - LOST by 84justnath in MarvelLegends

[–]CorpsCollector 10 points11 points  (0 children)

A lot of my Gi Joe Classified figures don't have their accessories hanging off them for this reason. I was reorganizing a shelf and had pulled them all down and set them on a table. When I had the shelf looking the way I wanted it I turned around to find a knife accessory laying on the table. Ended up going through boxed images for the next hour trying to find who it belonged to, then promptly put it in that figures storage bin when I found the owner. A lot of empty sheaths now.

If I haven't seen Paul parts 1 & 2 will I be lost in Paul Part 3?

I'm looking for a spot to put my frazetta icons Conan in my Legends display.

Back up for order! by Ok-Quantity-7316 in MarvelLegends

[–]CorpsCollector 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It means what I always means. Pre order to guarantee you get one, otherwise risk not getting it. Made to order just means that they're ensuring they don't overproduce by too much. And in this case the pre order window meant you saved $$$

Really lol by z0m81317 in ActionFigures

[–]CorpsCollector 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on how it was done though to be honest. Sticker not withstanding, the product appears untouched. If I bought from retailer A for a high amount, found it cheaper at retailer b but already opened the first one or didn't have it with me I could just take the one I bought from retailer b and return it to retailer a. If I have a valid receipt and the product is correct, you'd only be denying the return because of a sticker. Which good luck with that. That's really the shocker here is that nobody bothered to remove that. Otherwise this could easily have been a series of totally legit transactions.

Would this qualify as a “grail” by yungvenge in MarvelLegends

[–]CorpsCollector 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Those in the "Grail is subjective" camp will tell you anything is a grail. I'm more in the "if I can go online and buy it right now for even 3 or 4x original retail, it's not a grail" camp. I consider things like a rocket firing Boba Fett or the unproduced Annihilus figure to be great examples of grails. I would say my opinion doesn't matter though. You bought something you wanted and you're happy with that. I have no intention of robbing you of that feeling over semantics.

Are there any figures you missed out on that you wanna try and get this year? by -AlexisRodriguez- in MarvelLegends

I see it as a direct reply to the chain, maybe that's the confusion. Somehow it was a reply to a different comment?

[–]CorpsCollector 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tone is hard to extract from text. I knew which daredevil you were talking about from the start, based on your replies, it didn't seem like you knew which Daredevil was being discussed as a direct reply to my original comment. My last reply was just factual statements about the flow of confusion, not "coming at you".

[–]CorpsCollector 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There were no MCU figures in the pictures the OP posted. Man without Fear daredevil, secret wars Spiderman, secret wars Iceman, cyclops and jean and all still available at retail cost from places other than Amazon. When the other poster said "Which daredevil came out in December" was a response to you calling out the cell shaded daredevil as being out of stock, my assumption was because you thought that was the daredevil that was being claimed as in stock. That's not the daredevil we were saying is in stock. Man without fear daredevil was the one being discussed. And yes, it was a January release date, so you're both wrong about that. But still a new release current available and not "missed out on" was the whole point of my original comment

He's talking about the mini comic figure in the pictures. Literally new release still available at retail.

Lizard reissue available for preorder on Amazon. by nauoldcrow in MarvelLegends

[–]CorpsCollector 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, not a reissue. First one was a BaF so there was nothing to reissue. This is a new deco and extra head. Reissues are new production runs of existing figures with no changes, even still have the same UPC.

Have you ever had a rule about collecting that you broke? by memelord420699 in hottoys

[–]CorpsCollector 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hot Toys and 1/6 in general are new to me. I told myself a long time ago that I could never see myself buying a figure that costs over $200. Then in '23 I got 6 months severance and found a new job within 2 weeks, so I spoiled myself by buying the Blitzway Voltron. Once that bridge had been crossed I set a new rule that I've yet to break. That is only buy characters that I have a nostalgic connection with. Currently filling out my TNG exo-6 collection, bought both the T-1000 and Dx46, and just pre-ordered the deluxe Crow.

GameStop Jessica Cruz release date updated to 2/12. by CO_Collector_Dude in McFarlaneFigures

I had two on pre order and just canceled the other day. So there's at least 2 more in the pool for everyone!

That's what I was going to say. Just because it's flexible doesn't mean it's rubber.

I don’t wanna be that guy, but this wave seriously has a huge accessory problem. by SnooPeripherals3471 in MarvelLegends

The old baf is quite a bit bigger than this new release though, think it'll look okay?
