The Goog, The Bad, The ugly.

THE UGLY:
Walked out of my team earlier today, just left after the game without shaking hands with the other team too...i think i did have the right to get pissed off..why? we lost by more than 30..the other team was the defending champs for a reason but i don't think the talent disparity was that huge..it was more of team issues..i'm not saying i didn't have a bad game but it would've been better..our team had absolutely zero ball rotation, no defensive rotation, no communication..i chipped in a lousy 5 points, i could have gotten thrice that easily had the team made the right passes..i was open both inside and outside most of the time..i would've been happy with 5 had we won, but man..am i in a team of stat chasers? damn..i mean, other than scoring my game was alright..everyone should know that when 3 guys are defernding you, you pass it out since that means 2 guys are free..and these guys are my friends too, hopefully we bounce back the next game..i'm not there for stats..i'm after Ws..

Good and Bad:
Anyway, i guess CollectIcon was nice..wasn't really able to get anything from there but a regular FO Wolverine, the first appearance one..i bought it from the guy at ebay, he had a stall there and he was finally willing to let it go for P50 less..i'll show the review later. I decided on getting the loose one instead of spending P700 on the MOC one with Sabretooth, didn't really like it that much i guess..so i just bought the loose one..hmm, I saw this stall selling Wolverine #1 and #2 for P1050 each..it was in good condition and i would've bought it if i had the money..also saw a few that caught my eye..the first one i really wanted to buy was an X-Men Evolution Wolverine, problem was..one guy was able to see it first and he bought it! Damn. haha. I was hoping he'd let it go..i also saw the XMC Tigerstripe there, didn't buy it since it was screaming OVERRUN! i mean, there were around 4 of them in one bin being sold for P130 but all had different colored legs or arms or whatever..it went for P130 but still, don't want overruns..i was also able to give my payment for the X-23 variant, i was also able to meet the seller of the Archangel..i also was able to get the Domino..i got all three figs for just P750, pretty nice i guess..i also saw quite a lot of loose ML Black Wolverines for P500-P600, real happy i already have one..i also have the strike team Wolverine and the 3 essentials, real bargain if you ask me..got the Domino from the saem guy, he also brought my Strike Team and my Aoa Regular..i also was able to get the Ninja Strike from the trade..the guy's a cheat..a small part was broken and he didn't mind telling me, very unnoticable but still..some joints also had glue/mighty bond on it..NOT NICE. good thing i was able to get it off, still loved the fig though..but when i left, a friend told me he saw a MOC one for P600..wich was hidden, should really try to dig deeper next time..and oh, the regualr AoA Wolverine i got was LOC..as in only the BAF part was taken out..twisties were still included..so there, i guess i'll give you the rundown of the stuff i got...ooh, and as for X-23, i gave the payment already but i'll get the figure next time i see the guy..
> Wolverine Essentials vol. 1, 3, 4 - real great buy, got the 3 for the price of 1..
> Strike Team Wolverine - sloppy paint, loose right knee joint..but still solid i guess, might do a repaint sometime..
> ML Domino - lacks one gun but bargain at P200, might do repaint to match X-Force uni..
> XMC Archangel - real nice..can't say anything bad about the figure..but might repaint to match X-Force look and i have to buy a stand..i think this is the first series Archangel too, not the lighter version..
> XMC Ninja Strike Wolverine - will probably glue the broken part, removed unnecessary glue through hot water..other than that, everything i hoped for was true..great figure..
> ML FO first appearance Wolverine -had great potential but paint apps and loose joints makes me want to repaint the figure..nice scale though, small but bulky wolverine..
> ML AoA Regular Wolverine - this one is LOC, still in twisties and i haven't taken him out yet...pretty much brand new except no BAF part..i'll loosen him up when i'm bout to display him..
> X-23 variant - paid but not with me..
oh, and i aslo got my price from Bim (http://comicology.i.ph), it's an animation cell from the old Spider-Man animated series..so there, that's my haul from CollectIcon, i guess i'll be slowing down now..but i already reserved the P900 Emma Frost and Wolverine TRU exclusives, i'll just use the Emma Frost as trade bait, i might actually be able to trade it for the MU SW Wolverine and another loose 3.75"figure..guy already said yes if ever his cousin has the MU SW Wolverine..so yeah, i'd do that trade even if on paper i'd be on the losing end, but hey..i only need the Wolverien figure and the gb is slowly looking like it won't work out..

can't wait to display this things when get home, i do need a bigger space though..but i already have a solution..oh, and i finally have enemies for my MU X-Force, 1995 Terminator Endoskelitions..those things are so cheap, i'll try to ge more of them in the future..hopefully no one buys those so i'll be able to get all from our mall..i already bought 11 but lost a gun..haha.
oh, you wanna know how cheap it is? well, one MOC MU would be the equivalent of 18 endoskeletons! not bad! especially since this is all i'll ever do with them, but don't get me wrong..i'll still buy a monster fig..

CollectIcon is near. PLEASE!! let the trade go through!!

Three more sleeps before the 10th of October, that means i'll be going to my first ever toy thing this weekend. though i'll be going there to look for some bargain Wolverine figure that don't cost more than P600 and cheap Iron Mongers that don't cost more than P300, but i might not even need to buy an Iron Monger anymore (more on that later). And the Wolverines i'll be looking for on saturday would primarily be in the 6" scale, the MU SW Wolverine, and anything that really catches my eye that looks good but wouldn't force me to start a new line. I'm still not sure if i go through with the Marvel Select line..i think it's too expensive. i'll already take home quite a handful of figures even if i don't find anything there..as i mentioned for the past few blogs i'll be getting 3 Wolverine Essentials, AoA Regular Wolverine, and Wolverine Strike Team (all paid for) as well as an XMC Archangel. Yes, buying an Archangel in this scale does mean that I will now collect the new X-Force in the 6" line too. I also might be able to get Domino but it'll only happen if the buyer wouldn't get it by Friday. And i'll also be paying for an X-23 but i won't be able to get it on saturday, since the meet-up will be on Sunday in GH but i won't be able to go there on that day. Oh, and i'm also going to get this Spider-Man animation card from the Comicology guy (http://comicology.i.ph) since i "won" in this contest, haha. might keep the card, might use it for trade bait, who knows? So there, i'm already booked to pay P550-P750 even without going there. And i'll be getting quite a few items too..I'll try to ask for an advance in my allowance so i can have more money to spend there though..oh, and my girlfriend will go with me which will be nice.:D the only problem with the X-Force is that they won't be wearing their team colors. So i either have to do a repaint or ask someone to do it. and asking someone to do it costs a lot..And the Warpath will be released next year so i guess i'll be able to complete it. Deadpool too. And yes, i'm assuming Deadpool will be a permanent member. I'm also getting a little late with my comics because of all the action figures i've been getting..i still haven't bought the latest Wolverine Origins issue and i think all the other books (X-Force, Dark Wolverine, Wolverine Weapon X) will be dropping this week. So I've made up my mind that i'll take it slow, i have to pay my sun bill, save money for my girlfirend, and save money for comics. Anyway, the lacking only a few 6" Wolverines and as of now, only one MU Wolverine. So i guess i'll be able to recover after that..and my birthday's only 2 months away..haha. i'll have more money by that time..remember the list i showed you of all the 6" Wolverines i want to get? Yeah, there's only three remaining..i'm still waiting for a fairly priced Wolverine Face-off (i think P300 is good), there's one listed right now but the seller wants the set to be sold. And an ebay seller is selling it for P350..but it's been listed for a long time so i guess i still don't need to rush. The 25th Anniversary Wolverine is something i want to get asap..i guess it'll be the #1 thing i'll be looking for on CollectIcon..any MOC of it being sold for less than P500, i'm going to get it. I won't mind getting two if the Group Buy pans out. I might even get one for P900, but it comes wit an Emma Frost Variant, but i'm trying to at least get a s1 Green Hulk to replace the Emma so that i'll get a monster fig at the same time..if ever he agress, i'll go do the deal with him..P900 for Silver Wolverine and Green Hulk, not bad i guess. Oh, and there's been a new problem with the trade..the guy i'm going to trade with is going to CollectIcon at around 2pm but i won't be there anymore at 2pm! i have a game..so i asked him to either come early, wait for me until 5pm or meet up at a different venue tomorrow. Hopefully he's able to come early on CollectIcon. I'm trading my 1997 Super Slammers Undertaker with his XMC Ninja Strike Wolverine. Straight up trade, i really hope it works out. don't think that it's an unfair trade for him, you know that figs rarely look like the ones they show during promos. AND Undertaker's a retro one, 12 years of existence already! I'm even planning to bring along my 1991 Ultimate Warrior if we're able to meet-up so i could sell it to him for half the price and if he's a good guy i might actually just give it to him..why? since that'll definately be the last wrestler toy i have and he'd look very out of place already, so i'll just dispose of him. Plus, i really want to get that Ninja Strike Wolverine, if i had the money i'd actually buy a MOC one if i found one. The only possible seller that has a MOC one isn't even sure he has it in his store, he just told me he thinks he has one and hasn't even replied yet..i hope he has one, maybe i can get it for P550. I mean..look at that, that is just awesome, i want to have one like that. Than one, the Silver Wolverine, and my custom X-Force Wolverine would be the pride of my little Wolverine collection. Yeah, i know some guys have Hot Toys, statues, and busts, but i don't have the funds to have those things..YET. So i'm focusing on the line that i can actually afford and i do think i'm doing well in it. So guys, i'm hoping that i'll be able to get the Silver Wolverine and Green Hulk for P900, that the trade for XMC Ninja Strike Wolverine happens and that i would be able to find bargain Wolverine figures on saturday...yeah, hopefully it will..i'm hoping it will..hahaha. Come on!
