, well, I was thinking do a catch-up day and open to where you should be. But you could also just wait for the 25th and go for it all!

I'm about to! I'm so behind LOL

Caught up yet??

Okay, so I know you guys will appreciate this. I've been opening my days, and pulling out my 'people', and lining them up in my dining room for easy viewing of the set. A friend comes over yesterday, and she's looking at my Marvel set. She points at the first one in line and says "Oh, I know that one...Batman!". It was Black Panther. She points at the second one and says "Iron Man?". It was Daredevil.

She gave up after that, but she tried! :roflmao:

Loving this advent calendar, definitely my favorite one they did. I now hope they do a Star Wars one for next year.

I wish she was, but no, she's legitimately that bad at Marvel specifically and geeky things in general. I'm friends with her anyway...!

You must be contagious...I'm behind now! I'll catch up tomorrow, I think I get to open 3 days at once..!

I'm literally behind in all senses. Didn't take it with me on vacation and will have to open it all at once when we get home...Doh!

Yikes, wouldn't want to have to pack that in the luggage! Well, it'll be a fun thing to do when you do catch up!

I've decided, since this calendar seems to be all the OG looks for these characters, that next year I'd like a more current look for them. Doesn't even have to be MCU versions of everyone...though I'd be thrilled with that, too!

I actually opened it backwards so that it was a countdown to Christmas.

I have the GS one, so now I have to work out the commons, and get the ones I’m missing. Lol

There's three different ones. Go back a few pages as I posted spoilers!

I'm really glad I picked this up, extra fun for me and my daughter this year. She wants to keep most of them, but I get Venom

Ugh, I need to do the same thing. Too bad these aren't year specific and on clearance with the rest of the holiday stuff!

I think these actually started appearing around August, so not as long as you think

I appreciate your happy thoughts, but I'd make myself wait until December to open it. BAH! Willpower is so overrated!! ](*,)

HT had them for 30% off when I went to pick up my HT exclusive Hula Stitch!

I was pleased with the variety of characters in the advent calendar... and they had a more sturdier design..

I did like all the characters.

Probably could have done without Ultron, but that’s not really a big deal

I purchased all 4 advent calendars.. the 2 marvel variants, fortnite, and HP... and oddly enough the fortnite one was my favorite.. I bought it strictly for Peely, but I really enjoyed all the PSH everyday.. very pleasantly surprised

, why do we do this to ourselves?

Actually, I know the answer to that one! It's a nice bright point to our days in a very rushed, too much to do, starting to get cold, dark too early time of year!

That's a pretty good deal! Think my sales have sailed at this point though...I'll keep checking just in case.

I think my least favorite was a toss up between him and Iron Fist. Nothing against either of them, they're just not people I needed to have!

FYI these are ringing up as $9.99 at Walmarts...

No luck at 2 of my close WMs so far. I'll keep looking though, worth it at that price!

Postby **L3g3nD33** » Mon Jan 06, 2020 12:55 pm

I found one at WM for $9.99. Can't beat that price for 24 PSH.

Postby **keyese** » Mon Jan 06, 2020 3:41 pm

I might have to check my Walmarts, these would make cool keychains or a necklace or something

Postby **Katers** » Mon Jan 06, 2020 11:51 pm

I think by the time I manage to find one, they'll be un-clearance-d for next year's holiday season! Going further afield tomorrow, I think. Really wish WM had a good tracking system for Funko stuff.

What are you using to check? Brickseek?

That's what happened for me for the other Harry Potter advent calendar.

I do for Target, but brickseek doesn't seem to work with WM? I just punched it into google, and it was telling me that one of my not-quite-local WMs had one. Of course, by the time I got there tonight, it wasn't there anymore. ](*,)

The WM I visited tonight had Fortnite and HP, but no Marvel! So close, and yet so very very far.... !

Awesome, thank you! Added to the list!

So I ended up buying my missing 3 off E(vil)bay. Got all 3 for like $12 shipped, which I figured covered both the cost of the calendar and what it would cost me in gas $! Worth it to be done, and to not have to figure out what to do with all the duplicates at that point!
