Futzed = adjusting the clothes, pose, hair, or other materials on a figure once removed from the packaging to achieved a desired look. Most figures don't look good right out of the box, so you need to tinker with the look to make them better. In some cases this can be timely, like flattening out...

Depends on how well Elder Scrolls Online does. I have a feeling that may bump any console Elder Scrolls title way to the bottom of the list.

Waiting for in-hand pics. I haven't been able to trust GG in years...

I might have to hit that, just for the pics.

I only got two Chells, but the TRU had about 6-8. I'm opening one and keeping the other MOC, but I'm re-thinking the MOC one because of the batteries.

I'm not really into the Goblin King set, so I can space these out. Besides by the time the third movie hits, who knows how many copies of these characters we'll end up with.

Yea, Gordon has been around online since he first came out. The problem is that I worry about paint - I had to look through every Chell I just bought to find the best ones. So, it's hard to buy NECA figures online, sight-unseen.

The Mirkwood Elf is long gone. They were selling out like crazy before xmas. I'm surprised people are finding those polys at Walmart, as they only seldonly carry polys around here.

Picked up two copies of Chell - I really don't think she'll be around long. It's a shame Gordon never made it to retail around here.

I checked Tuesday, granted I wasn't there at opening, but still they can't even find them.

It's well worth buying the set, even if it's an extra for you.

I can handle the blue one, but this is just Hasbro-lazy. It's not helping us get any closer to other figures, it's just helping NECA rake us over the coals some more. Actually with the Jakobs one looking so good they should have released that one first - the blue on is pegwarming here.

Anyone else have trouble finding The Hobbit movie with the Lego figure at Target? All local Targets read having it in stock in the online tracking, but when I go to the store - zero. Apparently, they can't even find it in their PDAs.

I think people were confusing the 1/6 Vader with the Mythos Vader that just went up.

Figure, yes. Statue, no. Price, not so good for the scale.
