Rounding out My Ultimates
« on: 05 August 2010, 03:11:02 AM »
I'm looking for the last couple of figures I need for my Marvel Ultimates Team. If anyone can suggest a good source for Clix or look-alike figures, it would be a great help. I'm in need of:

Ultimate Wasp

Ultimate Scarlet Witch

Ultimate Thor

I'll post some pictures or links as soon as I can find some. Currently I have an essay staring me down that requires my attention.

Heroclix did all 3 (although I probably wouldn't use the Wasp clix, and Wanda is basically just s girl costume wise...)

Wasp:


Scarlet Witch:


Thor:

Heroclix did do all three, but Thor is considered something of a premium piece - expect to pay $20 - $30 AUS at least. Wasp and Scarlet Witch are probably in the dollar or two mark.

Ultimate Thor was a hard to get piece and also one of the more powerful pieces so he was always priced pretty high in the secondary market.  He may have come down to earth a little bit. Especially since new more powerful Thors have come out.

Thanks guys, does anyone know a good 2nd Hand vendor of Clix?

Bubba, is there an Australian-based vendor by any chance?

I know one of the guys at my gaming group swear by a chap on evil bay - he has a great run of seconds at reasonable Australian prices. I'll try and find out for you tonight.

I have been using Popular Collections for years.  Never had a problem.  However, many people have had trouble so you may want to do some research first.

www.popularcollections.com

Many people really like Troll and Toad.

Game Hallow

Miniature Market I have also heard good things about.

You might want to head over to Heroclix Realms and see if anyone there has any ideas for places to get them in Australia.

If you're not already a member, can't find an answer, or don't want to sign up let me know and I'll ask over there for you.

Thanks for the help guys, I've managed to order everything except Ultimate Thor. The shipping from Troll and Toad was reasonable, so I'll be looking at them again in a few weeks to see if Thor is back in stock.
