The Dark Knight Rises Movie Masters: Official Discussion

[GuruAskew]

The price is crashing on them already anyway. Pretty soon the cost of shipping them will obliterate any markup an eBay seller would require to make it worth the time and effort.

Dallas had nothing today at i75 TRU
or new Walmart on NW Highway....

 

[johnblake]

Remember the Heath Joker MM
Figs? Paid $45 on EBay in June 08 and by
August they were filling shelves...

 

[NerdyJordy]

I said "oh, screw it" and bought two John Blake figures and a Catwoman to open from EE. I would have got Rā's (or the "TBD Secret Figure") but he's pre-sold out from them and anywhere that's reasonably priced (Toywiz... $32... SMH...)

Just a thought...Kmart has them for like 13 bucks has anyone tried gettIng Walmart to try and match the price...they say guaranteed to match any low price

If you can provide the price via smartphone, ad, or receipt - they'll match it.

Does RedSkull want a high five or something? lol why bother gloating that you just purchased 15 of a highly sought out figure?

Good to know Catwoman will be hitting Toys R Us nationally soon if she's on the website, but I would really recommend ordering from them unless you want to open it. For my Orlando-ish area peeps though, Millenia's TRU is sold out of the Movie Masters except the two-pack but they have two trucks coming in this week (Wednesday and Friday) and the Walmart over by Valencia is sold out too, but they have 12 on order. Eh... I'll probably just wait it out till she's out in full force once the movie hits and orders are done in a bit higher quantity.

I was JUST at the Millenia TRU today and they told me that they were out of the figures in the warehouse. Hopefully they were mistaken and get Catwoman sooner than later. Keep an eye out for me, though? lol.

Maybe the kind that turns them around on ebay the same day for twice as much and then gets to buy MOAR

Food for thought, perhaps it is not your skill but the lack of patience of the people you sell to. Let's throw in fear, trust fund kids, people who have more money then God and those that will spend anything to feed their toy collecting addiction. It has nothing to do with you.

I ain't no boy. What kind of child could have the dough to purchase FIFTEEN AMAZING DETAILED FIGURES?

Trust fund kids for one and kids whose parents throw money at them instead of being parents all armed with a computer, Web browser and an internet connection. If you were a struggling high school/college kid i'd understand to a certain point but being a grown man makes it even sadder and bragging about it blatantly is a cry for help. My advice to you is take some of that profit from your ebay venture and invest it in some therapy sessions as in my brother's opinion who is a very successful and well respected psychiatrist your one broken dude.

Shhhh...we have scalpers lurking....

Red Skull certainly has the right to do what he wants with his 15 Catwoman figures. and we have no right to tell him what he can or cannot do. this is America,Land of the Free, etc....

that said.don't expect any high five's ,accolades,or reveration on here. we have a pretty good network here of people and collector's willing to help each other out with stuff they can't find,going all the way back to 2008 with helping each other find Joker's and the Chase Figures, up to 2010 ,with looking for Two-Face and Harvey Dent at TRU. and continuing on with TDKR, with a lot of boardies on here still looking for Catwoman. You could have helped them out,and i have no doubt you would've made a decent profit on them as most are willing to give you some extra money for helping them out. but,again,you chose to go the scalper route,and maximize profit. which,fine,is your god-given choice,as i said. just don't expect any love from anyone on here for what you decided to do. especially after labelling yourself as the definition of a Scalper rather than help out any boardies.

 

[mikey1974]

Is that Ra's an official figure? I haven't seen it. Is it custom?

-R

custom. Thug Body,just removed the bolo tie and painted the backs of the gloves black, Deadpool sword,and custom head. this is why i'm convinced the Ra's we're getting will be the suit at the end version. all they'd have to do is mold a new head.

Well said! Theres a difference between earning a living by buying and selling and being a scalper, and he comes and brags about it which isn't really earning him any points. He has every right as you said, but we here at the hype have a pretty good community so we don't need to buy from him. Toys R Us.com has them now and they should be hitting more stores very soon.

 

[Reevz666]

What I thought...anyone in Boston area finding catwoman yet?

I actually found a *goggles down * version at the TRU in Salem NH on Saturday morning...it was the only one they had...there were 2 Banes, and plenty of Batman's ...no Alfred tho

 

[angryweb]

I bought a case of EE and will be getting an extra Alfred within the next couple of days. I'm not one to slang it on eBay so as long as someone covers what I paid plus shipping via PayPal, I can send it to someone. Just PM me.

 

[nameless_hero]

Anyone recommend scale size guns to fit in these figures hands? I'd like to get one for Twoface, Thugs and Catwoman. Even one that can be modded into a grappling gun would be great. Thanks!

 

[ShaneHelms]

If you own a Marvel Legend's Punisher. His assault rifle is just about the right scale you need. Something along that line. Sorry i can't give you an exact scale, hope the link helps though.

[RedSkull]

If you don't like what I have to offer you can buy from someone else...assuming I left you any catwomans to buy.

What you are looking for is 1:12 or doll house scale items. Your best bet are your dollar/pound store cheap and nasty figure sets. They usual stick any old gun, rifles and grenades with them and usually they aren't in the right scale for the pack but they are for 6 inch figure like the MMs. After the 2008 release of the Movie Master I spend alot of time going around comic store, bargain shops and what have you. I rounded up alot of in scale items - not just weapons as I now make dioramas. Buffy figure are a good fit as well in fact they come with alot of stuff even stand alone "Item packs". The Walmart 6 inch Movie Nick Fury has quie a few guns for one item and last time I was in America you could pick him up for about $7.

Dude by august we will be drowning in them. There are 2 catwoman in each case and there will be more in revision cases. Walmart and Target still have to receive catwoman. With all the big box stores putting out cases there will be plenty to go around and i suspect we may even land a sale price. You are powerless and can't control toy distribution. So i suggest you go troll somewhere else.

Folks maybe we should not mention availability like tru.com on the site but perhaps through pm. i bet you there more than one of this guy on this board. The more information we feed these guys the worse it for us, so i don't know about you i'd rather not shoot myself in the foot.

if i find extras of anything i will offer them up. I have an extra kmart bats and an alfred at cost+ shipping no strings. This *****e has motivated me even more to help my fellow forum mates out

Just curious, why didn't you buy alfred when you bought catwoman?

That wasn't exactly what I meant when I said I wanted to inspire people

 

[Robin91939]

Monitory decision at the time. I'll grab a pair of Alfreds at some point, hopefully soon. Only need Alfred, Gordon and Blake to complete the 3 movie set. Haven't seen any of them in stores yet, or Catwoman.

Just got an email from ToysRus.com, actually, telling me that the Catwomans are on back order and will probably take me an extra week to get them shipped.

I'm with ya man. We should bring back that list from a few pages ago, keep it updated, and if somone finds any extra of a certain figure, or find them on a website, we pm the person looking for it.

HYPERS! Take control! Take control of your figures!

for Two-Face i used a Sin City Goldie/Wendy pistol,which due it's smaller size for being a woman's gun,fits perfectly for old Harvey...i also used an uzi from a Sin City Gail figure for my custom Thug...

actually, i used a LOT of NECA guns for my movie masters...

 

[Nirvana]

I know I already asked, but is anyone interested in trading a Walmart MM Gordon for a Catwoman Goggles Down or Walmart Avengers Hulk? Preferably Hulk?
