I fully agree that the painted no-hat smiling head is a huge improvement over the original Karen head. Not sure I’ll be swapping out the movie Scarlett head I’m currently using though. While this one is cuter for sure, movie Scarlett definitely has a better game face while still passing for a...

Gave Flint and LJ an ”battle readiness” upgrade. Flint got a nice auto shotty and LJ got body armor, kit and a pistol from the female Iron Brigade. I wouldn’t necessarily call either an “ultimate” version as it looks like retro flint is getting a better head and torso from the look of it...

Low-Light has entered the 21st century! Thanks to spare RnR donating his normal length neck, retro Duke’s head, NF SW’s hat and drone and other kit from FF v.2. In addition to long range night sniping, he now has a FPV drone for recon and for calling out targets. Was considering a Barrett...

Roadblock and Heavy Duty have been upgraded from space guns to miniguns! Unfortunately the Low-Light head upgrade has stalled due to the fig’s unexpectedly long neck. Retro Duke’s head sits up a lot higher than LL’s so he looks like a giraffe with it. That one‘s on hold until I can acquire a...

Naturally BH dropped a couple more bucks this morning, but at least I'm getting him shipped for free since my local WM couldn't fulfill the pick-up order. Ah, Wally and their distribution and inventory issues... :rolleyes: Love the price dropping on CS/Retro figs for the holidays though! :LOL:

I ended up ordering retro BH for $19 from WM and NC for $12 on AMZ.

Walmart has dropped prices on a few more figs to sub $20. Included right now are: Alpine, SS v.2, retro Duke, Scarlett, Stalker and BH, others? Amazon has dropped prices on a couple of those to compete, but Wally is all over the place right now.

It's definitely tougher and more expensive when you are trying to get as close as possible to the OG versions. I have spent the money for a couple things (a legit Eel harpoon/prod gun comes to mind), but it gets hard and expensive to chase a lot of that down. I came across a great copy/upsize of...

I think a lot of the chaos we see now is a result of a very uncertain direction for the line at the beginning. They were trying to do too much with too little, modern vs. retro, etc. Once the line got its footing and seems to be thriving, the line bosses officially broke it into modern and retro...

Looks like Wallyworld has a number of previous wave figs discounted to around $20 now, including Airborne, Doc, QK, and retro Snow Serp, Duke, Scarlett and Recondo. Oh, and Raptor is down to $28, in case you were dying to get that guy :p. Unfortunately no price drop on BH yet. I would expect AMZ...

I was wondering when we might start seeing some of those, and thinking you might need to hurry... :LOL: Honestly, despite the holiday season discounts, the line seems to be as healthy as it has ever been (unlike some of the others). There are still some peg warmers around, but not as many or...

Jinx is down to $10 at WM. NF TR, Shooter and NC continue to be discounted as well. It's looking like Wally is clearancing its own overstock this season rather than farming out to Ollie's. I'd have been on this Jinx if I hadn't already replaced her with what I consider a better version. As for...

It's true. I lowball it every time now (to get a competitive final cost) and I think a lot of the time the sellers have to take it or get no sales because of all those price doubling fees. It'll be interesting to see how it goes after the next change for sure.

Looks like Mercari is changing it's fee structure (back?) again in January. I hope that will fix the mess they created last time they changed it.

NF Tunnel Rat for $10, Shooter for $15, Jinx, Night Creeper and Torch for ~$17 right now at Walmart.

Yeah, I was trying to work up a free shipping way to take advantage of the 25% off at Pulse for us normies, but would have had to buy a Trouble Bubble along with BH and Jinx to get there. I really have no use for the TB and with the retro Tele-Viper coming soon enough, I couldn't justify it. If...

I've always had my eye on that set, but have never pulled the trigger, despite my love for the Viper corps and good prices at times. Now that the retro (rolled up sleeves!) Viper is on the way, that's probably the only other Viper I am currently looking to add - whenever that actually makes it...

So I saw my first retro Beach Head in the wild at Walmart this evening. Wow, that was a serious nostalgia buzz, and he looks like such a great, true-to-original figure! I managed not to buy him at retail price, but then I almost gave in and bought him and Jinx on AMZ tonight for an averaged cost...

That is pretty cool! Can’t wait to see a finished, kitted out version of each of the different variants!

Finally got a chance to open up that NF Shockwave/cycle today. Dang if it’s not a great set! I had thought of using him for parts to improve on Low-Light, but couldn’t waste such a well done fig just for parts. So he shall be Shockblast, fire-teammate of Shockwave, and shall proudly ride on my...
