Torch in the set with clear sue is translucent orange/red, when the regular version is not translucent.

Possible ML 6 sighting. aftimes.com/bbs2/messages/4414.htmlTake that with a grain of salt, as Marvel Legends often prompts fake area reports. The report claimed San Diego, which is about where ML V first hit in the states. I'm going to KB on Wednesday, and see for myself.

Saw a ton of new stuff. KB had all of the Spider Man movie figures, including the Doctor Octopus(not calling him Doc Ock). I am waiting for the other one. All but Absorbing Man from HC2( ), maybe 1 or 2 of SMC9.

Hey some of you may known me by my last name, Baity. I don't know if any of you are into Hero Kit building, but I figured I plug it here anyway? A few months back I sculpted this piece for CD Productions and it has just been released. He's a tad bit bigger than 1/6 scale. This kit will be featured in "Modeler Resource" and "Amazing Figure Modeler" magazines soon. Anyway. *Cheap plug* You can order this kit through CD Productions. I believe the kit is around $110 plus shipping. Solid resin. If intrested contact "Charlie"at cdunton@thetarmac.com Credit Dan Cope, an outstanding kit painter, for the display model paint job. If this kit sells well I should be doing a companion piece, "Power Man" Luke Cage later this year for the same place.

I have to wonder because the Midwest gets everything last. No matter what it is. Then again, we did get ML 4 before a lot of other people, maybe it just skips a series.

Seeing as how I live about an hour away from that dude, I gave it a shot. Toys R Us had nothing, KB got some SMC9. I got the elusive Rhino, finally.

First of all, I want to say that the Iron Fist sulpture posted above is truely STUNNING! Also, I tend to be a more relaxed collector. I tend to wait for hot figures to cool off before swooping in and scooping up my purchases. I just ordered a box of 4 figures--Archangel XC, Cyclops XC, Carnage SMC, and Kraven SMC for 45 bucks and free shipping. Most people have already payed atleast double to get their hands on those figures while I sat back and waited. Now I'll have them all conveniently and cheap. I was reading up on the 8 hour sleep deprived TRU adventure, and I have to say that it's absurd. It's not anyone else's fault but your own if you pass up a rare figure and come back to an empty store shelf. 3 hot figures are known to be sold in a day or even less, especially when the packaging is so rare on them. If you get an opprotunity, TAKE IT! Put down that easy to find movie and grab the rare figure. Then come back and get the movie and you are all set. The employees at TRU aren't obligated to know anything about toys, and shouldn't be. Sure, some do, but that's a special occasion. KAM seems to know what he is talking about, and going to check out the toy scene is the best way to go. Having an idea of what is going to be released and about when at certain stores is a good strategy for collecting figures. Take the time to get to know the things you want the toy store employees to know, and you'll be better off. Anyways, how about the new figures coming out?! Man, TB is doing a good job with these new figures, but I hope series 8 is improved upon, as the few preferred character look sub-par at the moment. They are protos though, so it can all change.

They still have yet to put out any SMC9. I thought I made myself clear the first 3 times, but I guess not. "Skimming" doesn't mean you read the reply.

Well, something to tide us over until ML 6 completely hits. I've read on Fwoosh, and other boards, that people are finding old SMC sets. I actually saw an older wall crawling Spidey myself at KB last week. So if you missed any villains, or Spiderman variants you need, you might luck out.
Oh, and the Carnage wave finally hit Target. Target has been sucking ass on the Marvel figures the last 8 months, with the exception of HC.

I don't know if the sets are that old, but I can hope so. Is KB the only place you are seeing them? It turns out that every KB within a 100 mile radius of me has closed. I am glad to see you finally have a chance to get Carnage too. Great figure.

Everyone else also saw it at KB. So I don't know if KB is clearing old stock, or if Toybiz is sending them special cases. Drug stores also have the old SMC sets. But that's because they don't sell, and probably have sat there almost two years. Still worth a look though. The older sets are easy to spot, because the carding is different. The older carding had this logo: Instead of the closeup picture of Spidey that they use now, which goes into the bottom half of the card.

I am hoping to track down a Venom fig one day. Isn't the Lizard supposed to be in the SInister Six box set? If so, I'll wait for that.
