Title: Guess What I just Bought?
Post by: The Holy Saint, Grand High Poobah, Master of Monkeys, Ehlers on March 10, 2006, 02:30:52 PM: Jeffe and I did a cheer us up lunch at Chevy's at Ballston Commons. Obviously, this also included stops at KB Toys and Suncoast.

And thus we bought a huge wad of pirates packs at 60% off, a copy of Army of Darkness for just over $4, a Predator set for cheapo, AND

this (http://www.bluemask-jp.com/SPIDERMAN/SPIDER-27.html)

it is my precious.

edit: At Suncoast I bought the last two boxes of Icons boosters they had (Heroclix), because, hey, they were 60% off. I got Rookie Joker, Beast Boy and Starfire, and Experienced Darkseid. Am I right in thinking this was a disappointing set of figs?

Just as I start thinking of you as a grown man, SE, you do stuff like this. How many Spidey action figures is it now? You're getting quite the collection.

also, I have a Scarlet Spider, which is Spider-Man's clone so almost the same thing They all appear in the culminating strip of the clone saga I did on FPM (except the new one, obviously)

maybe I'll return.

I have some ideas for the new figure too.

As for your Clix. All are good figures, especially the Joker and Darkseid, though getting any teen titans in your boosters is nothing special. They should have called Icons "teen titans" instead since you're guaranteed a starfire, beastboy or raven in any booster you buy. I think I only had 2 boosters that didn't' have a titan in them.

Post by: The Holy Saint, Grand High Poobah, Master of Monkeys, Ehlers on March 13, 2006, 11:14:22 AM: I was excited about Darkseid, but not the others.
Oh well, it's not like I have an extensive Clix collection. I have a Hulk from a Free Comics Day a few years back, a blue beetle, and I think one other.
