Raving Toy Maniac

So when the Ni No Kuni Limited edition (PS3 game) went back up with limited stock last week, I was excited. Then I saw it was run by Digital River. Still, was able to get an order in, got a confirmation, everything.

A whole lot of orders got cancelled just now, the day after release, because they couldn't manage stock. That namco club store sells like 10 items, and they couldn't handle it. I hope they're really really cheap, because there are always nothing but complaints about them. So now He-man collectors and videogame enthusiasts can share in the pain...

Give us Marvel Legends that are worthy of the Title "Legends". The Hit Monkey Wave is a complete joke to me, a Classic Marvel Fan. The entire wave except for Hyperion is just lame...Red She Hulk and Protector? Add in there another Cap and a re-packed X Force Wolverine and AA and then try and justify $120 purcahse. No kid is looking as these and think they are cooler than Legos.

Give us a normal distribution of Marvel Universe Figures and stop punishing us with repacked garbage. Do they not want our business? After seeing the in hand pictures of the newly released Team Packs, I canceled my pre-order and will take my chances at finding the Inhumans in the wild. The Rogue is straight up ugly.

Make Star Wars cool again. Angry Birds and Prequel Assortments stink like loaded diapers and I should not have to pay $25 for figures like Starkiller because you can't manage your assortments. We do not need any more Battle Driods or Clone Troopers for the next 3 years...give it a break already.

I've been looking over pictures of the newly-released Takara Masterpiece Soundwave, and I gotta say, he looks very spiffy. Please, Hasbro, when you get around to releasing him, give us all the goodies the Takara release has, with three important additions: Ravage, Rumble, and Frenzy. You did such a nice job with Hot Rod/Rodimus and Prime, so don't let us down with this one!

The Wal Mart in Fair Lakes, Virginia used to be a Mecca for action figures. Fully stocked pegs, most of the current figures and lines. Now it has been reduced to half an aisle, raely has any figures of interest, and usually looks like a bombed out street with peg warmers peering off the pegs. Not even worth any special toy runs to the store. Been this way for a few years now even after conversion to a Super Walmart. Anybody else seeing the same?

So I go to look over the reset Walmart toy action figure isle, and notice that the helicarriers were no longer on the end cap. I quickly ran over to the discounted isles of toys..yep there it was but it was $44 dollars. I am going wait to see if it will drop lower.

its still better than the $88 original

Hey all, just wondering if people are still having trouble with this. I've heard the best way to update CC info with them is to call, but now that they have a manage feature, I was wondering if any of you have risked doing it through the website.

Thanks for any help in advance!

The "New" Diamond Select Battle Beast Minimates finally arrived at local comic shops this week and for once, me talking about minimates, I have to say...meh.

I was really excited for these when I got the SDCC 2012 exclusive 2 pack last Summer, but I never read the comic and got only a couple of the convention Battle Gators that have been floating around. The initial Press Pictures are a lot nicer than the finished product. With the LCS Assortment, you get 2 exclusive human charactors which are completely out of scale and look to be higher quality that the beasts. The BB are just too small and the QC on the paint application is all over the place. I am glad that the shop I went to had ordered 2 cases and I got to pick through all of the 2 packs on the shelf to get my set.

While I really have to applaud DS on the sculpts and engineering of the figures, poor apps can kill a great figure everytime. My most wanted of the line, Gruntos the Walrus, looks tiny compared to Tate (human), and his flat paint scheme is very disappointed. I was so disappointed overall, I didn't open any of them...maybe tonight.

I really want action figures for these franchises. I mean, we've gotten action figures of Dexter, Venture Brothers, & even now, Breaking Bad. I think it's time we get figures of, Raylan, Archer, & Sookie. Who's with me?
