I need to hit up some garage sales so I can get good deals on comic books. There's this one on Sunday that I'm thinking about checking out.

 

[TheDreamMaster]

I never have good luck with yard sales anymore. I got a number of Star Wars comics at one years ago, but otherwise, I miss yard sales from the 90's, when I could find Ghostbusters and Aliens figures among other things. Of course I'd really like to happen upon some Jurassic Park items, but I don't see them come up often anymore either.

I sometimes luck out at flea markets with toys & comics.

 

[Lord Valumart]

I need to talk you into buying me one.

Hell no...

I used to do that. That's how I got all my Ghostbusters and TMNT toys.

Jurassic Park stuff goes for crazy prices for some reason. There's a collectors shop near me that has the figures on card priced up at £20 - £50 each. I mean I know how much a toy can be worth, but Jurassic Park figures? Seriously?

Really??!! I believe I can get Jurassic Park figures MOC for a considerable good price.

Yeh, but I'm talking humans to dinosaurs here. No one in their right mind is paying £50 for an Alan Grant toy...

I've seen him on ebay for 19.99 + s/h.

I got my comics in digital format, saves me time in finding them, and at least gives me hope I won't accidentally pull off a page in rage
I love printed format comics though, when I do have a printed comic I have some comfort I can't have as well with digital format

 

[Duke]

Must have taken a lot of time & effort.

 

[Spider-Aziz]

Time and effort spent on collecting them digitally is less than it is getting them printed, the thought of the time saved makes it more satisfying

 

[jonathancrane]

I was trying to find the best thread to pose this question (and could not find one, nor wanted to create one,) but: can anyone recommend an online vendor that sells authentic autographs? I came by a decent amount amount of money, and was hoping to acquire an autographed photograph from a cast member from The Dark Knight Rises, as I want something to mark my participation with the film. I've been searching around and found a few sites that seemed legit...but, when I am ponying up the cash for an autographed photo, I want to do so certain that it is 100% legitimate, and not 90%.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

That happens a lot then?

 

[Spider-Aziz]

That happens a lot then?

It happened a few times while reading a book and something else suddenly popping to mind and sticking , thankfully not too often

I've thrown books in rage before. Never ripped anything...

Sometimes I suddenly wonder "what if I just destroyed this?" about things. But I never do...

I don't intentionally rip it, I hold it in rage for a while, then see the result of the long grab with sorrow

Saw PACIFIC RIM this afternoon...fun movie.

I kinda wanna go see it .. but then, me 'friad. Chickens like me wait for the Netflix.

 

[Sawyer]

Well, it's good to see that The Avengers board isn't being heavily over-dramatic about things...

^Yes, this is actually one of the few instances that I'm using the smiley to represent sarcasm.

 

[Kane52630]

Is it about Hank Pym?

 

[Mrs. Sawyer]

I couldn't care less about Hank Pym, so I couldn't care less about him being in the Avengers sequel or creating Ultron. Stark could easily do that in the MCU anyway.

It's gonna be a good movie, so that's all I care about.

The panic is predictably hilarious.

*looks around, sees Avengers chat, puts Batman sticker on wall, creeps out*

anybody COULD, this won't even be the first time it'll have been stark (see next avengers), but it cheapens the character. without pym ultron is just a generic evil robot. with pym ultron is hubris, the evil twin, and ultimate corruption personified.

it's like using the joker without batman; sure you could, but why would you? everything about joker is informed by batman

 

[DarkSovereignty]

Um...ultron could still embody all of that. Mcu tony is a monument to hubris and arrogance lol.

which is exactly why it doesn't work. it doesn't have the same impact because ironman is old hat at it.

Unless Joss decides to have the Mandarin's consciousness/mind transfered into the robotic body, which gives rise to Ultron. BTW the Carnotaurus "Demon" that was in the Jurassic Park toyline fetches a 140-200 dollar pricetag on Ebay.
