If you can ever find any kind of figure for a very cheap price, don't hesitate and just buy it while you got the chance.

yea i know but you kno 13.99 is the before tax price also so either way your hittin the $16-20$ mark. Online, off line, its whatever just depends on where your living i buy all my at the best deal by just getting the sets and if i want extra i always find my deals or hit up toy's r us but i can't stand around outside all day so i always find the better deals online as long as i get em which i have thats all that matters (and i mean flamer $20 with shipping @ the time)

there is a picture of them. It shouldn't boost the price at all. The dead space figures run for less than the gears of war figures... all of them... including Ticker lol. And to be honest, the dead space figures have the LED lights and have FAR better articulation than the Gears of War figures. But I paid 20 bucks each for my two dead space comic con figures, and the other ones only run for 14.99.

gears is a bigger franchise than dead space tho so mark up will be silly

True, but Street Fighter is a more recognized/bigger franchise than gears and even those are cheaper. It really all depends on where you get your toys from to on how much the mark up is. i get my gears toys for 14.99, dead space 13.99, and Street Fighter IV for 13.99 all at this store called Hastings here in the US. If I get my figures online though I pay usually 16.99-21.99 for 1 gears figure before shipping :-(

Even if, I would rather pay 19.99-24.99 for a light up Carmine with legs and arms that move good than pay 16.99-19.99 for a non light up Carmine with little articulation. I have nothing against the way the gears figures now, I'm simply saying that I would rather spend five bucks more for light up ones with 20 points of articulation :-D

They just need to quit worrying about it, and make a Berzerker, or Brumak...

I think the money they charge for the figures any way should cover the bases for these two. If you think about it, when they first started coming out, they were going for what...10.00-13.00 bucks... now were seeing prices of up to 27.00 dollars. C'mon... inflation??? Whatevah!

I'm almost impressed you've managed to find them for $27!

The most I've paid is $15 a pop. (not counting special figures.)

Lambent Gren. Comic-Con exclusive was $20 as well.

Some reported having the elbow articulation on their Marcus break right out of the box. RAAM is improperly sized, has a Troika that's half Boomshot and a dirk instead of a sword. My Lancer wouldn't make noise until I got a replacement piece. The lower blood spray on my chainsaw Drone popped off the instant I opened the box, and getting Marcus to actually look like he's chainsawing it is such a delicate balancing act I don't dare touch them. There're some glitches for you.
As for lag, my A.Carmine's knee is still so tight it won't move, so if we think of attempt to perform the action vs. when the action occurs, I'm still waiting on that one.

Thanks goodness I've kept all my figures in their packaging except my Palace Guard. My Palace Guard doesn't seem to have any problems except with holding the Torque Bow. He can't ever grip it properly with his left hand.

I've only had a couple issues, myself, but I'm always extremely careful with them.

My Palace Guard is holding the handle with his right and has his left hand free, but my helmeted Theron is holding the Torque in both hands (handle in right, front grip in left, weapon pointed straight ahead.) Takes a little bit of doing, and you've got to be a little daring about it, but it should be doable.

Same since I can't get him to grip the other end of the Torque.

I'm happy with my Series 3 Marcus Fenix. I just wish my local comic book stores would carry more Gears of War Figures, only two-pack i've ever seen would have to be Marcus chainsawing the Locust. I'm interested in the up-coming Col. Hoffman.

Just how I had him... One sec...

Takes a litte bit of doing, and you've got to be gentle and forceful at the same time, but it's fully doable. One of the fingers is bent in a little bit, so you've got to work the grip in there a little, and be careful of putting force on the bow's struts, as they're fragile.

But again, I've got him holding the Torque with both hands, now, so it's fully doable. (handle in right, grip in left.)
