Bill has shared his latest action figure comic – the continuation of X-Men vs. X-Force, guest-starring Deadpool (poor guy!) Be sure to check out the rest of his work at Bill’s Comics.

I’ve been browsing looking for online deals today – pretty lazily, because with online shopping it’s not too hard to fill the gaps in the toy collection. But I did see some big price drops for wave 1 of the 6-inch Star Wars Black Series at Amazon. Now, I’ve already got the figures, but for those of you who have been holding off, now might be the time to get in. The figures are really great, and for $9.99 each, you can pretend you’re buying them a long time ago and far, far away – while the sting of George Lucas trashing your childhood with the prequels was still fresh!
The only exception, naturally, is the Sandtrooper – still a couple bucks off at $17.99, but people have been army building.
I’m too grumpy to deal with crowds and waiting in line, so on Black Friday I’m happy to look for online deals. The official Marvel Store is holding a 20% off sale, with its standard free shipping for orders of $50 or more. It’s the standard fare there – mostly Marvel Select and Marvel Minimates, but they also have some Sideshow Collectible items (including the black-suited Spider-Man from Emo 3) and Funko bobble-heads.
There’s a Deadpool bobble-head there that I’ve been thinking about getting for some time now. Excelsior!
Our best tipster, Paul, wrote in early this Black Friday with great news for TMNT fans – the Classic Collection Rocksteady and Bebop are in stock at TRU, both in stores and online!
Some Black Friday shopping for you. My local TRU has lots of TMNT classic Bebop and Rocksteady figures. Funny thing is they have them on their website but TRU has the worst taxonomy so you can almost never find them. Here are the links to purchase, currently in stock and will ship in 1-2 days. May go fast so good luck.
- Rocksteady – $19.99
- Bebop – $19.99
Thanks much, Paul!
As a Rewards R Us member, I saw that the Marvel Universe SHIELD Helicarrier would be on sale in Toys R Us stores for Thanksgiving. Thankfully, I was spared having to write a diatribe about how TRU should stop treating its online customers different from its brick and mortar customers, because the Helicarrier is also on sale for $39.99 on the TRU.com website.
I won’t go so far as to call it the USS Flagg of the Marvel Universe generation, but I doubt we’ll ever see another vehicle this large from Hasbro’s Marvel team any time soon. At half off it’s a good deal, and you’ll only need to add $10 to your cart to trigger free shipping. You could also wait until TRU opens their doors at 5PM tonight to look for one in the stores – but does anyone want to go out shopping right after a big turkey meal? Isn’t Black Friday in the wee hours punishment enough? Happy Thanksgiving!
