Well I went to Walmart in Orem and they did have heroclix (over there the tradeing cards are by the books and comics) but they only had Marvel Universe, no Ultimates.  So either they haven't gotten them or put them out yet or Wizkids complained to corporate Walmart, since the thread on Wizkids boards is about a week ago, and they pulled them.
Screw it, I'm buying crayons and paper. I can imagineer my own adventures! Wheeee!

Before Spriggan releases his article.
Just to clarify, the only reason that Sprig's Black Mantra was able to kill my lesser Hellboy was that his Blue Beetle kept pushing Hellboy back when his battle fury kept him from using his ranged attacks. Also, Killer Frost was also incapacitaitng Hellboy, so he kept losing his actions. Otherwise, there is no way that Black Mantra could kill Hellboy.

On a coolness scale (10 being the coolest), Black Mantra is like a -6. Hellboy is like a 12.

yes, and when you combine the two (thats how Black Manta incompacitates) Hellboys coolness becomes a 6, that stuned hellboy not sure how he became so uncool so he shot himself.

Serves Hellboy right for even thinking about lowering himself to battle Black Mantra. Only the lamest super heroes battle Black Mantra,

Which makes it all the more amusing that Aquaman is his arch enemy.

article reference: http://www.timewastersguide.com/view.php?id=769

Sorry guys, too much of the material is already here. So I'm just referring to this thread from the article.

It's still giving me giggles.

Now if his arch enemy was the danceing Aquaman from the old Adultswim comercials then it would be a different story.

I strongly demand that the unique hellboy be rendered over to me.

I read, and really liked, the hellboy comics recently. And boy, 11 clicks of life is a charlie-happiness maker.
If you're ever in an argument and Entropy winds up looking staid and temperate in comparison, it might be time to cut your losses and start a new thread about something else :)

You will get neither of my Hellboys. Incidentally, the two together make a great team.

I've found some very good deals on ebay, and I've bid on them, and if I win they will substantially increase my collection. The thing is, there's so many figures to go around here that I think we could combine our forces and split the winnings.

For example, Mustard is kicking in $10 on this auction: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5902817185&sspagename=STRK%3AMEBI%3AIT&rd=1 , in return for which he will get the Batman unique and all the little figs he could ever ask for from Unleashed.

If anyoen would like to join forces in a similar manner on either of these auctions:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5902817138&sspagename=STRK%3AMEBI%3AIT&rd=1

OR

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5902817217&sspagename=STRK%3AMEBI%3AIT&rd=1

email me and we'll talk about it.

I'm thinking about it, but I know most of those will sell for $40-$50 dollars and I don't want to sepnd that much money (even if it is halfed).  I can garentee you that the batman kilowog one will end up selling for $50+ since KC batman sells for $30-$40 as a single and Kilowog goes for $20+.  The indy one might sell for less becasue less people want them.  If I do go in I'll join in on the hypertime lot, I'll let you know in a day or two.

They could very easily go that high, but I'm hoping that they stay low simply because they're listed poorly. The really hot chase figs (like shazam) aren't even mentioned in the search line. We'll see.
