[QUOTE=lokij] I’m looking for a nice suit in an Anthony Stark design, maybe something in red. XXLT please. [/QUOTE] We have an over-abundance of Stark designed suits. Red, boilerplate grey, War Machine black, Spider-man ones with extra arms, Ultimate version with the goo on the inside… In addition, we also have suits by that perennially hip European designer, von Doom. Oddly enough, searching our catalogue, there doesn’t seem to be much in the way of this sort of thing from DC this season - way back there was Haywire, and that’s about it. Lots of Japanese street wear of course, including a very fashionable line from Mobile Suit Gundam, and a few spare suits from the Neo Evangelion range from last fall. > [@](#): > > Do you have any webshooters? > > Mechanical webshooters? My dear sir, they are _so_ last season. > [@](#): > > You got any net-guns that actually work? All the ones I ever used just messed up the guy’s hair. We just sold a nice net cannon to the Lilim which I understand was very useful in their siege of Heaven. Would that do? > [@](#): > > This may be a bit obscure, but do you happen to have a set of Iron Lantern armor? Ah, Kurt Busiak fan. You can pick 'em a mile away. > [@](#): > > While you’re clearing out your old 2000AD stock, you got any of Halo Jones’ zenades? Aummm! No Halo Jones stuff left, sorry, but you’re welcome to pick up this set of Rogue Trooper kit. I’ll even throw in a chatty general’s baton. > [@](#): > > I’ll take the Miracle Machine, the Cosmic Cube, the Infinity Gauntlet and . . . that’s on credit, right? I mean, it’s not like I’m gonna have a problem paying you. Sorry, pal: this is a cash only clearance sale. There is an automatic teller machine down the road, past the Daily Planet Building until you see the Triskelion, then turn left at the Baxter Building, keep going past the Lexcorp Tower, through the mall under the Sentinel’s tower, and across the road from the old Avengers’ mansion. ---

Mmmm, I’d like something a little obscure: Any sheks? I seemed to have castled here without mine… ---

I’d like a pair of purple pants, with a waist that will go from a 30ish to somewhere around 180. I don’t mind if the cuffs rip, but the waist should stretch to fit. Don’t tell me it will if it won’t. That’ll just make me angry, and well… ---

[QUOTE=Glassy] Obviously I’m not the target audience for this thread but, I just gotta say … Who even knew there \*was \* a Thorgirl? According to [this](http://www.immortalthor.net/bio-thorgirl.html) site, she’s 5’9", is sometimes known as “Thor Lass” and “Hammer Girl,” and weighs 317 pounds. Dang. [/QUOTE] And I’m betting Marvel is ignoring her as hard as they can. Who said DC was the undisputed king of continuity screw-ups? ---

[QUOTE=First Amongst Daves] No Halo Jones stuff left, sorry, but you’re welcome to pick up this set of Rogue Trooper kit. I’ll even throw in a chatty general’s baton. [/QUOTE] Excellent - I’ll take Gunnar for the firepower, and Bagman since he seems able to hold an infinite amount of ordnance. You can leave out the dogchips, though - backchatting sidekicks I _don’t_ need. Except maybe Venus Bluegenes. Now, war robots - you don’t by any chance have Hammerstein in stock? ---

Hmm…How much for the shiny golden helmet? That’s a tough shade to match, though…can I get the cape and clasp with it? Also, in the interests of making money, do you have any [spots](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spot_%28comics%29) in stock? I’m sure they’re not in much demand. ---

Gas powered grappling gun, preferably a little bitty number in black, suitable for concealment in a utility belt. While we’re at it, throw in a utility belt, but only if you have the Adam West omni-version with built-in Deus Ex Machina, reusable. ---
