    My point is that the guy said he doesn't consider $5 off clearance when clearly it is. Although I just spied another thread where they have a boatload more of these coming out...which has me confused now. I don't get it.

      Because their online orders are strong enough. As I said earlier, you can't go by the sales at TRU because they have never had things in TRU before, only online orders and specialty stores. I doubt TRU was even in their original business plan. There's more Twilight Zone too, so it seems they aren't worried about that at TRU either.
      Expectation is the death of discovery.

            I love the word clearance!!! These Venture Brothers have helped me supply many of my super heroes from Blue Beetle, Dr. Sivana,the Vulture to the Rhino and Absorbing man (Brock Samson body pix in my link below my profile)....they can keep getting cheaper and cheaper I don't care. The more parts and bodies for me to manipulate DC and Marvel characters out of.

              I would like to buy these guys but I don't bloody know who they are. A friend of mine is going to hook me up with seasons 1-3 of the show. I hope I like it.

                Well, I've been watching Season 1 so far and I am now officially a fan. I will be collecting these.

                  I was never a fan, but I had a friend that kept insisting that I watch it. After about 6 months, I borrowed their DVDs and watched a few episodes. I'm a huge fan of the show now.

                  I need to pick up the figures before it's too late.

                    I think I have bought about two hundred dollars worth of them off the pegs at two Toys R Us Stores and a local comic shop. They did nothing for months on the pegs so I just said to heck with it and snatched them up.

                    Why? Because the Brock Samson body (with a sculpty beef job his lower legs) makes a great 8 inch muscle body and the others make great cannon fodder for parts.I made a cool Blue Beetle out of that Monarch but Brock Samson takes the cake.

                    I hope Dr. Mego comes out with that "big guy" body soon. I must have "beefed up" about fifteen of those Brock Samson bodies. Anybody need a black Brock Samson type shirt?

                    I have never seen the show Venture Brothers. I flew by it a couple of times when it was playing on TV with my daughter.

                    I have nothing against it. I just love Marvel/DC characters and I am always looking for ways to make more customs of them.

                      The episode I just finished watching referenced The Joker Mobile and The Green Machine. I thought that was cool.

                        I think it's funny how when you change your avatar, it changes it on all your old posts retroactively too. So Falcon said:

                        ...and his avatar is Dr. Girlfriend.

                        Glad you like it though!

                        I missed season 4 due to adult swim's crappy scheduling, but I'll catch up on DVD soon.

                            My experience was the same as yours. You have to start w/Season 1. Season 2 is better than 1 and Season 3 was better than 2. I'm picking up Season 4.1 this week.
                            If a Mego figure of God did not exist, it would be necessary for EMCE to invent him.
