Marvel Universe SENTINEL

[Guido]

Reports have been circulating for months about the Marvel Sentinel showing up at outlets like Marshall's and Ross. This past weekend I finally found them at a local TJ Maxx! They had 8 on the shelf, all of them in the classic blue/purple color scheme, and I got a pair for my shelves! If they linger, I'm sure I'll end up with a third! ;)

I think I may have been the first person to report finding the classic color at TJM back in July. I know I was the first at both TNI & RS. Surprised the hell out of me. And about a week earlier I finally found the 6" Crimson Dynamo at the Fairview Heights, IL TRU. Now they're finally showing up more often, but they've also increased the price. Surprise, surprise.

Well, I'm moving to your neighborhood then! I remember driving all over #@%& last summer when the reports were hot, coming up empty handed every time... what a zany hobby this is.

Hell, I was haunting TJM for months trying to snag a Wreck-Gar from the TF: Generations line. Found Perceptor in June last year & I didn't find Wreck-Gar until around X-Mas.

I found 2 at TJM and together they were the price of one new one.

Isn't that awesome? They have 2 left where I found mine and I've come close to grabbing another to bring me up to 3 of them, but haven't yet. The one thing that bugs me about the classic colored version is the shoulder pads. I don't think they started adding any kind of shoulder armor until the 90's/2000's, and I wish they had done a slight re-tool for this 60's/70's colored version....

Then just take the chest armor/shoulder pads off. It's totally removable.

... That. Is. EXCELLENT!

I feel like your avatar. I knew it was an add on piece, but never noticed the tabs on the back. The chest is kinda plain without a circle/triangle shape bit it is worth it overall for the effect- thanks for cluing me in!

I'm almost tempted to get another one & display it that way. Plus one of the other color scheme ones as well. But I really don't A) have the room & B ) don't need 2 more of the same Logan.

I've got 2 of the BAF, plus both versions of this new one, so that's a pretty full squad right there.

[Guido]

I sold my BAF version when the new one came out, and now regret it. It was a very different look, and a lot more detailed than the MU version. :(

Oh well! I have 2 of the classic colors and I might get 1 of the blue/silver versions if they hang around a bit. Same story here about the space!!
