They rock!
Only problem is with the scale and articulation. Byt hey - I won't get any of those because thry don't import theme to Poland and I don't have cash to do it on my own.
Still - they look best when placed on a shelf :) And hell, thry look awesome!

Thanks for the tips. But, what about KB-Toys?

KB Toys...ah forgot about them, LOL....they are a little unique. They receive shipments multiple times a week...what's on the truck is anyones guess even the managers. This is because they receive the majority of their inventory via UPS.

They get it early morning and they stock out around mid to late morning. KB has closed a lot of stores nationwide due to competition to Wal-Mart, Toys R Us, and Target. That's why I didn't really mention them, plus I have always found them to be a dollar to two more expensive than the other stores. Like I said, a good portion of their stuff comes UPS since they are usually located in malls but there are some free standing stores, the may receive large truck shipments. So you can always ask them when the UPS guy usually comes.


Also another good place ot go is Tuesday Mornings...if you have them in your area check them out....they are a re-sale place. Basically they get the over stock or closeout/deleted items from Wal-Mart, Target, etc. That's where I found my Crimson helicopter for 10 bucks apiece a couple of years ago. You never know what they might have or when they have it.

Well, first off Hasbro need to get an ACTUAL supply of figures out! Hard to say what your favorite is when you can't get them anywhere....but, since I'm pretty much through getting figures (I HATE the 25th stuff) I's have to say my favorites that I DO have are;

1.) Pimp Daddy Destro (ok, I know Terrible choice for most, but he REALLY grew on me! LOL!)

2.) Serpentor - finally a 25th figure that has been updated and ISN'T a throwback to the 80's as far as outfit is concerned!!

3.) Snake eyes - I can't believe I'm saying this, but the way the 25th are created, figures like Snake eyes, Beachhead and Firefly benefit from the articulation. Figures like Duke and Flint look out of porportion and the articulation on the flesh parts SUCK!!!

You guys KNOW I'm a nu skulpt fan, even if things somehow change for the worse. I like the 25A figures moreso that I love the idea of how the old outfits look now with nu skool sculpting skillz (or it's the technology of the molds or whatever...). With that said, there are so many that look and feel great (I won't discuss playability). I love the Flint figure. I love the Duke figure. Both Snake Eyes are great!

As it stands, I am finding myself loving the Beach Head figure most. I love the awesome detailing of the vest, the figure is great in itself and the weapon set are off the chart. His machine gun isn't JUST a rehash of that 1985 weapon. It's far cooler. A week ago, it was Firefly. And a few months ago, it would have been Zartan, Flint, Destro or Duke. Or Snake Eyes. Man... Too many choices!

destro, not pimpdaddy. finally a destro that really looks like he could kick some major butt. the troopers are a very close second. im more then happy with the 25th also. actually i would be on cloud 9 if i could ever find the smurfers

I finally found Wave 2 of the single cards today., and I gotta say-- I love Beachhead too! Also, I think this is the best version of Lady Jaye we've ever seen. I like Destro, I love Storm-Shadow, and I think Roadblock is great except for the head.

However, above all others, my absolute favorite must be... Snake-Eyes version 2! The head sculpt is amazing, and he looks exactly as he did when he appeared in the comics and cartoon lo those many years ago. I'm sure a lot of folks may have said this long ago, but I'll say it here for the first time-- I'm now officially happy if we never receive another Snake-Eyes ever again.
