Where are the rest of the HT Summer Exclusives? So far they've just announced Iron Man.

A local collector here is saving up for that Iron Man exclusive that he'd be willing to part with a MIB DX13 for $210. Maybe I should jump on it?

That's a hell of a deal! That's way below what it's selling for on eBay now.

Hmm, I guess I might pick it up, like I said HT are generally cheaper here. A second DX13 is the only figure I need left to complete an 8 Arnie display, 4 of each movie.

If I didn't already have one, I'd jump on it at that price.

Oh, did you ever found a Tech Noir at a decent price btw?

 

[GeneralZodLives]

No, I'm still looking. I may just have to bite the bullet and grab one at what they're going for now. I thought one would pop up at a reasonable price at some point, but it's not happening.

I would say they're reaaaallly tough to come by at a decent price. I know because I was looking for parts for a couple of years at least. It's still the best T-800 due to the sheer presence, even better than the DX13 imo.

Anyway, if I ever find one on my end, I'll let you know.

The cheap ones on eBay always have issues--don't come will all the pieces, neck piece broken, etc. I was wanting to get it under $300 but don't think that's going to happen.

Do it, like yesterday.

Definitely get it ASAP. The neck plug issue isn't a chore to replace. The two sticking points I know of is the bedazzled jacket missing studs, and the BD head getting a shiny spot on the forehead. I went through three and all had that shine to them as well as busted busted neck plugs. It isn't the paint, it's a paint rub. I still haven't gotten around to using my Tamiya paint to dull it down. The stuff does wonders and I highly recommend having some on hand for whatever.

 

[GeneralZodLives]

I'll check the retailers at SDCC and see if any of them have one. If not, I'll just grab one from eBay when I get back that won't kill me with the price.

Yeah, the neck adapter will almost CERTAINLY crack at this point, even on new figures but it's only a $5 replacement on eBay. The jacket will most likely have some missing studs, and I dare anyone who would claim they have a jacket that's perfect, so that's no big deal either. I forgot about the shiny spots, I'm not sure if I have them but those are pretty much what to watch out for.

 

[Snake Plissken]

Do you not own one of the Tech Noir, Zod?

 

[Jameson Rook]

Here's one up for auction, just a broken neck adapter and he's including a replacement:

I don't think either of my Tech Noirs are missing studs, but I'll check it tonight. Although I'm pretty sure when I got both I thoroughly checked them.

Not yet. It's one of those figures that I keep meaning to get, but then something else pops up. I should have just bought one or two of the damn things when it was up for preorder. I hate kicking myself for stuff like that, but I knew it was a figure I wanted and still didn't order it back then.

That's one I'm keeping an eye on. Hopefully no one else blows the price up too much.

You won't regret it. I remember when it went up for order and it was when I first started collecting and I passed on it. When I eventually got my first one, I realized what an ***** I was for not getting it sooner. Overall, it might be my favorite of the line. It's got the perfect intensity that Arnie had in the film.

Speaking of Arnie, either today or tomorrow I'm finally ordering fat head John Matrix

I might be able to point you towards a good deal, I'll message you later...
