@Delibheel wait it's hard to find? I found one in EB Games (the Canadian equivalent to GameStop.) At regular price a few weeks ago just sitting out there. I didn't buy it because I don't collect those but I didn't realize it was rare or anything, so I just kinda passed it over.

I couldn't find it in any Target this last vacation (the store it's supposedly exclusive to in the US). And the ones I could find online that ship to Mexico are resellers asking for way more money than it's worth.

Maybe it's not an exclusive in Canada since Target doesn't exist here? And it'd probably be more common as a result. Then again he of EB Games now is just Funko figure so I'd image they'd have every one under the sun. They have a larger Funko section them for Nintendo stuff!

I could really do with a direct about now:(.

@ThanosReXXX: Oh, I definitely will go and see movies if asked. I have a rule that it can't have a previous movie that I haven't seen unless it has absolutely no bearing on the plot. I'm pretty good at keeping to this rule with all but the Marvel Cinematic Universe; I've seen a hodgepodge of them, and not necessarily in the proper order half the time.

@Delibheel My thoughts exactly, but earlier, you said you just wanted to collect them, not play them, hence me calling it a curve ball...

@Blitzenexx Oh dear, that's a definite no-no in my universe. Seen all the Marvel movies in the right order, and most of them soon as they hit the cinemas.

@ThanosReXXX well, I do like Tetris too! And I don't have any gimmicky Tetris merch either.

Don't worry though, I still have the Pacman one in my wish list. If they release the color one, or it goes down in price, I'll get it too.

John Wick Chapter 3 is looking great.

Liking the look of Mysterio, glad they went with the fish bowl.

@ThanosReXXX: I intend to watch them in the proper order at some point....The question is when. XD

If it's exclusive to Target in the US, then it's usually an exclusive somewhere else in Canada. Never saw the wounded one in my local Target since my local Target's funko section is a mess. Instead of restocking them, funko decided it was best to make a version with Deadpool.

Definitely. No Fishbowl = No Mysterio.

Meanwhile, i'm amazed by the amount of people who are all like "What? Why is Mysterio being a hero?" Like, do you have no idea who Mysterio is? Do you not get that it's obviously a ploy?

Ugh. The only real downside of being a comic fan for decades now that comic-films (and Marvel in particular) are popular is having to see idiots ramble about things they don't even bother to understand.

@the_shpydar oh no! those pesky new fans keeping our favorite franchises alive for new generations, whatever shall we do 😜

Lol
Yeah, it's pretty much like when you have a fave indie band that you're into, and then they sign with a big record label and have a top 40 hit, and you're all like "Pshhh. I was into them before it was cool!"

@the_shpydar
I mean, I'm not gonna front like I'm not guilty of being a hipster fangirl.

for example, I am SUPER stoked for the Captain Marvel movie, because I'm really excited for new fans (women and girls especially) to meet one of Marvel's coolest characters.

I'm not one of those jerks that's like "muh you're not a real fan, who drew the first story arc in 2012 dur," but internally (just a little bit!) I'm like "I've been reading Carol before she was cool heck yeah."

Yo, Americans will enjoy Super Blood Wolf Moon Lunar Eclipse on this month. 😀

But here in Indonesia, we will get Partial Lunar Eclipse.

I think you mean the Super Blood Wolf Moon Lunar Eclipse U Deluxe 2K19.

coming soon to the New 3DSi XL SP Lite Pro & Knuckles

Ha, yes! I too am psyched for Captain Marvel, but do have to internally suppress that "Don't you know Carol is where Rogue got like half her powers after absorbing her consciousness? And don't you know that Carol's an alcoholic?"

But agreed, it will be cool that so many more people will be exposed to the awesomeness of Carol who never would have been, even if they had already been casuals drawn into the funnybooks by the prior MCU films.

And speaking of Cap Marvel in general, i'm guessing that they won't even touch the alcoholism thing, given the fact that the MCU has barely touched on Tony's alcoholism despite it being a significant part of his character in the comics for decades. And obviously they're not going to go anywhere near the whole "the Avengers ignored that she was being mind-controlled by an alien who essentially kidnapped and impregnated her, so when she regained control and returned to Earth she rightly told them all to Eff Off and lived with the X-Men for years" thing (whuch, to be fair, wouldn't be logical to do in the current MCU).

But i know that if her cat (different name aside) isn't actually a Flerken, there's going to be hell to pay.
