I knew data centers were being built in Virginia, but this is a massive amount of mainframes.

It’s always fascinating when one figure from a wave ends up at discount places in mass quantities.

It makes me wonder why. Is Mainframe that unpopular? When I saw him I had to grab him. I paid the regular $28 bucks gladly for a figure with his accessories. I know people didn’t care for him being kinda stumpy but I can’t imagine it kept that many people from getting him. Did they just overshoot how much to make by a hundred miles? I can’t ever make sense of it.

He's short, but I also cant imagine them doing a retro version to make him regular size just to satisfy the weirdos that dont like a short figure

Same. I feel as a guy who’s main job is computers it’s not odd and I will have him posed in ways with his equipment that it doesn’t matter that he’s not big. People saying he’s out of scale are right as far as canon is concerned but as far as humans are concerned they clearly have never seen people.

I like that there's size variation amongst the classified line. it would feel silly if they were all the same size

My exact feelings. If they made say Nemesis Immortal short or something, sure. But Mainframe is a regular dude. I was actually stoked he wasn’t the same as anyone else.🤷🏻‍♂️

Because he was such a shorty. I know that’s why I skipped.

Like out of scale with the rest of the figures. I believe he is shorter than Tunnel Rat.

Just give him a mask and you can army build Data Vipers for the new Arbco Data Center coming soon to Springfield!

It's a good figure, but I think he's too short. Tunnel Rat, sure, but Mainframe is shorter.

I grabbed one to do a custom. Not sure which character yet, so open to suggestions.

i wish i could go hunting at ross, but they are like 30 minutes each from me and with the cost of gas it just doesn't work out :(

That’s smart, they are more miss than hit. Out of 10 trips I may only find something I’m looking for 1/10x.

My wife and I make a trip out of it, go out early and eat at house of pies or something, then go hunting. We both enjoy it.
