I was getting some merchandise organized for my next show, and figured I'd just pull out the random books/novels that haven't sold and take them to Half Price Books. I grabbed these 6 comics from their bins for 75 cents each. I was shocked to find the X-Men 11 Pressman variant. I've seen the Heroes Reborn 1/2 selling well on the boards, otherwise I wouldn't have looked twice. I haven't been to a yard sale since September. Between work, family, and my new side business, there just hasn't been time. I've been to a few small shows on the weekends, but I haven't pulled anything great recently. I had almost forgotten that feeling of pulling something fun randomly from a box. I'll need to start making time for yard sales again.

 

I love that Turtles/Wildcats. 

Ah, the silver Pressman.  Such fond memories of the board game.   Will never forget my brother receiving it as a gift, opening to find that beautiful specimen inside, and seeing all the awesome X-men "chess piece" sculpts.  Needless to say, I was super jealous.  During the pandemic, I was fortunate to run across a board game guy who had it still factory sealed and for a great price.

Imagine what it would be worth if there was an animated Mario on the cover, instead of Boone from Animal House.

100% agreed.

3 weeks away from new issues of The Punisher. Keeping an open mind to the new series, and skull logo, hopefully will be good. Looking forward to reading new  comics again. 

Anyway loving this variant cover (new logo and all) by Bjorn Barends. 💀

Definite no for me. 

Should just be a new character.

After 40 years I finally got another one ! 

I couldn't give a flying isshhh that there are rubs on the box.  

Such a glorious piece.  

I can never get enough of this toy.   I've longed for a box for some time.   

Have to settle for the few loose toys I have.  Congrats.

First five pages of Walking Dead before it came out. (I think). Here’s pages 2-5. 
 

That's correct. 
Like Agents 6, discovered by some handsome fool on these boards.

While I got this for Christmas, I just finished the assembly and light kit install. 4 level, 25 mini figs and the taxi. Currently in my comic room (Nerdvana) on my desk.

Not a lego guy, but this is next level amazing.  

Detail is crazy, especially all of the villians.  Doc Oct, Sandman, and Goblin are superb. 

My favorite part, a friggin Spider Buggy!

More!! Also from the Banker Box Collection, BBC and mostly Bolland covers. 

Cover to JD 8 is unbelievable.  

Makes me feel the way I did when I saw a couple of my favorite Kirby covers.

Thanks for posting, but wow, is that awful!

100% what I was going say. 

It's really bad.  And Peach is a bit on the sexy side in some pics. 

Thanks for providing.

He was referring to the series before the most recent one. 1st appearance of the Grand Inquisitor. 

Sounds like his character has been cast for the new Obi-Wan show. 

Ah, thanks for the clarification!  

Patrick

Ochi was so fun. 
Just wish they had not taken his helmet off.  Took something away from the character.

Books you find in a box.

I've never flipped thru one.  What type of material?

Patrick

In the past, I would have said no. 

In today's environment, I would not be surprised if it blew up for a minute.  

After X-Force 1 and X-men 10, who knows. 

Someone mentioned the Omega Red thing.  I don't care for it, but that matters little.

Dirty Pair, with the Adam Hughes is still somewhere out there to be found, I'm hoping. If and whenever I stumble upon it.  

I've looked for a copy for a long time.  

Zero results so far.

Recently picked up a new Optimus and Snake Eyes. Adding a little whimsy to the man cave. 

What's the hanging Spider-man piece?

Super Mario 1 price is going crazy and has a lot more room to grow with a new movie coming soon. 

Looks like most Valiant SM are getting a bump. 

Even the SM Special Edition (yellow). 

The Sneak Preview is stupid money.  

These books are not easy to find.  Guessing my 3-pack is looking a bit delicious now.

Seem to be hard to find and WHAT a 90's iconic cover!! Love the cover on this one. This just takes me directly back to my youth and collecting.

When Shattershot came out, I wasn't a huge fan. 

But I do love this cover.  Another great Lee with a bunch of classic X-men.

It's the first two figures of the Hasbro Pulse exclusive o-ring line.

I thought they were straight recasts from the original molds but they seem to be modded from the originals or are straight recasts of later mods from the molds.  (If that makes any sense because I am trying to make sense of what I just wrote.)

I watched a few reviews and the figures seem to be sturdier.  They use an o-ring that is made of silicon rather than rubber like the originals.  

Most importantly the plastic seems to be of a sturdier design so the crotch pieces and thumbs are less likely to break and the elbows will not suffer cracks from the strain of the rivets on the joints. 

After seeing the reviews, despite me swearing off o-rings, I even ordered a pack when they came back up for preorder.

Thanks, I wasn't aware they had released new o-rings.  

I thought the Black Major stuff was okay because of Hasbro being done with o-ring tech.  Does that change?  Guess it's too late for that.

Finally getting around to finishing up some Joe projects. Got the Storm and Snake Eyes o-ring pack in. I almost got a glider but it was just too far of a drive. My buddy was at least able to rescue it though.

I sure do want a Ferret for my collection.  Nice pics. 

What is the SS vs SE?  I keep seeing it elsewhere.

I regret selling my copy last year. 

Wow, I didn't realize it had gone up so much.

Always cracks me up because boardies could have bought one of mine for cheap some time ago. 

The homages are super disappointing to the point I wish they had not been done.  Shadowman 6, Hardlee Thin.  Thumbs down.
