The Iceberg Lounge aka GeneralZodLives's Phantom Zone

So far, this is the most relaxed Monday I've had in a long time. "Knock on wood" that nothing changes the rest of the day.

Better add some figures to your cart in case it spirals into mediocrity, just to be safe.

MONDAY

Haha, just watched that this weekend. That's Zod during spooktacular contests.

I have one of the 89 Superman figures MOC. Damn nostalgia makes me spend way too much money. You can pick one up in decent shape on Ebay for around $30 fo Supes, Batman is around the same price and most of the others are cheaper.

$30 for MOC or loose? I'm really wanting a loose and MOC supes. Batman always had a silly looking derp face. But I loved the 1989 supes fig.

We went through all our printer troubles last week. We had to reconnect all our printers to the work network because all the computers decided to start printing to the wrong printers.

Similar thing here. Windows 10 doesn't help either - piece of crap!

We've been fine since we got it all set up again last week, but I know it's just a matter of time before everything goes to ****. Windows 10 has made it difficult for us too.

Crap movie; great figure?

I've seen MOC for Supes around that price. Loose is around $15 depending on the quality.

Batman does look good! I'm just not a fan of murdering Batman. But I did think that Ben did a good job.

thread revival!

Anyone have the 1989 DC Superheroes toy line? I used to have superman, batman, and penguin. I'm really wanting to pick these up on card but not sure what the market is.

I've got one buried up in a closet somewhere

It definitely looks better than it did initially. Still not getting it though.

[Shawpaw]

Looks great! That was pretty quick arrival for those.

 

[Sweet Rabbit]

Not bad

Sliiickkk.

Look; hot toys' Deadpool:

Great looking figure.

 

[Plastic Bateman]

I predict that's going to be the first Hot Toys figure in a while to really skyrocket in price and stay there on the aftermarket. Regret not preordering now.

Yeah, I ordered them last Monday and got them today. Considering they were all 20% off with free shipping, a week isn't too bad of a wait--though I've been spoiled with Amazon Prime.

I'm really glad I have this one ordered. It's absolutely perfect.

It's still available on Sideshow's site. Hot Toys Deadpool I know you'll have to deal with possibly crazy shipping and customs charges, but it may not be a bad option if the after market price goes crazy.

 

[greygoose]

Love the packaging on these.

 

[GeneralZodLives]

This wave looks really, really good. There have been some quality control issues with some figures, but these may be the turning point the line needs for collector's not worrying about them breaking or bad paint.

 

[GeneralZodLives]

I can't believe I'm going to get out of work today not having been aggravated by normal Monday nonsense. Makes me wonder if the rest of the week will be tougher than normal to make up for it.

The latest BTAS wave is such a step up in quality to the earlier waves, it is almost like a different line of figures. That Gordon is the standout though - perfection.

 

[Plastic Bateman]

I haven't picked any of these up yet but that Gordon is really tempting. I like the look of their Michael Ironside DKR figure too...

It's still available on Sideshow's site. Hot Toys Deadpool I know you'll have to deal with possibly crazy shipping and customs charges, but it may not be a bad option if the after market price goes crazy.

I'd probably only order through Sideshow for exclusives, and even then it's usually cheaper to just pick them up from Asian resellers. I'll put some money aside, there's a comic shop in the next city over that gets Hot Toys figures in stock and then can never sell them. Granted it'll be a bit overpriced if they have one but still less than the FedEx+customs bilking I'd be hit with through SS.

Alternatively, I could just pick up the Mezco version next year - seems to be the direction my collection's heading in
