My Hardest-To-Find Set-Completer Toy Of The Year Award 2009
My Hardest-To-Find Set-Completer Toy Of The Year Award 2009 goes to:
2 Winners: “X-Men Origins: Wolverine” toyline - Cyclops & Iceman!
Comments: These 2 figures from wave 3 were not sold in Singapore. I nearly gave up having them in my collection until I found them by chance during my recent holiday trip to the US! I got Cyclops at Walmart in LA, and Iceman at FAO Schwarz in Las Vegas. Without these recent acquisitions, I could have considered getting them from ebay.
From left: Maverick, Deadpool, Wolverine & Gambit.
Cyclops and Iceman are currently still Mint-On-Card (MOC) as I can’t bear to remove them from their packaging yet. Someday when I do free them, they shall join the rest of the above figures in my collection!
From left: Sabretooth & Wolverine w/motor bike.
These 2 figures fight ‘can’t get along’ and they ‘fight’ a lot. Hence it’s best to separate them to minimize possible paint damage to them. Hasbro didn’t name this pair “Back Road Brawl” for nothing, LOL!
I don’t collect every figure from this toyline, just the main characters whom I like in their classic uniforms. (Okay Cyclops isn’t exactly in the 90’s blue and yellow straps uniform that I prefer him to be in. Here he looks like he’s wearing a diving suit!) Hence in a way, I do consider my set “complete” for now!

Great that you managed to complete the figures you wanted from this range. Your US trip was fruitful indeed.
That Wolverine with bike looks pretty cool
Hi shaun,
Yes it was! The theme park visits and landscape attractions were also worth it
Hi deSMOnd,
Haha, a lot of people hated this biker Wolverine and his bike. They only wanted to get their hands on Sabretooth
TRU is selling this pair for SGD 12.00 only, down from SGD 44.90 at original retail price! There are still some left at the Forum outlet last week

Did you also manage to get the Colossus from the last wave (4) of Wolverine?
Malaysia sales of this line were also quite poor so TRU stopped bring them in and have to sell the remaining stock quite cheap too.
