Hi,

So the new Marvel Rivals figures drops are currently on Amazon but it says they are out of stock and unsure if it will ever come back in stock. I saw posts of people posting screenshots of them being able to be preordered like two weeks ago and I guess they sold out?

Does this mean they aren’t coming back in stock? The McFarlane Toys site or newsletter didn’t even broadcast them. Want to get my hands on a few of them, but not sure if I missed out or not.

Any explanation is appreciated. They said they were dropping for pre-order Spring 2026, but Spring is rapidly coming to an end. I reached out to McFarlane Toys over email and they gave me the biggest none-answer of all time.

Hi,

I’ve seen a bunch of comments now of people that are deciding to remove their WireView Pro II’s from their GPU’s. Why are you doing that? I could see if you need to remove it as you are working on your PC and it’s in the way or something along those lines, but I’ve seen tons of comments that read like these people are just removing them for no reason.

Also, I have seen a few comments saying they are afraid of the retention clip or something breaking, doesn’t Thermal Grizzly cover any damage done to the GPU from their product for two years? So even if this were to happen, you’d be covered unless I misunderstand that policy.

Just trying to understand why. I have a MSI Suprim 5090 SOC and there is really no reason to remove it, especially since my Seasonic TX-1600 is only a year old and MSI power supplies (saw people talking about the MSI Safeguard PSU) haven’t exactly shown the market to be trustworthy, especially in comparison to Seasonic PSU’s.

Hi,

A work friend reached out because he knows filmmaking is a side passion of mine and asked if I could make a visualizer for his new band’s upcoming EP, which is about 20 minutes long total. Should mention that their band isn’t big or anything, so it’s pretty low pressure.

I told him that I basically have no experience with motion graphics or visualizer work, but he said it doesn’t need to be anything super advanced.

Their idea is mainly just their artwork slowly moving around, changing colors, and having psychedelic/screensaver-type effects over the course of the EP. He described it as a “super psychedelic Windows screensaver” but with their artwork instead of the Microsoft logo.

I told him I could take a stab at it, so I’m curious if something like this is realistically doable in Davinci Resolve for someone inexperienced with this kind of stuff.

I’m mainly wondering how difficult something like this actually is, how long it would realistically take a beginner, and whether this is the kind of thing I should even attempt.

I’m running Resolve Studio 20.3 on a 9950X3D, RTX 5090, 64GB RAM, and a Samsung 990 1TB Pro SSD. This probably sounds dumb and counterintuitive, but I’d like to avoid putting too much stress on my PC given the whole 5090 cable melting situation and everything.

Thanks for any advice.

Hi,

I ordered the Logitech Pro X2 Superstrike ($180 mouse for e-sports) in the Best Buy mobile app, but I also have an in-store pickup order available for the same mouse because I got paranoid about tampering and other things like that given Best Buy’s partnership with DoorDash instead of a company like UPS, FedEx or something else.

I know this probably sounds dumb, but is there realistically any difference in trustworthiness/security between keeping the one that gets delivered vs picking one up directly from the store? Like in terms of tampering, defects, etc.

Curious what you guys would do. Do I return the one that showed up today and pick up the one I have ordered in store or do I just keep the one that was delivered to my house via DoorDash?

The mouse is known to have some units that can have QC issues and I just worry that some could be exacerbated by the delivery versus picking it up in store, but that could be incorrect and just be my paranoia creating unrealistic thoughts.

So, some of you might have seen me posting recently about trying to find the perfect mouse shape for me.

I have used the Superlight shape for the last six years, but I wanted to find a mouse that fit me perfectly. I first tried the Waizowl OGM Pro V2 as an alternative to the Lamzu Thorn and that caused pain on the outside of my hand after a day and that pain continued until I stopped using it.

Then, I figured that it might be best to go with something that is similar to the Superlight, but more refined. So, I went with the Maya X. That actually caused my hand to go numb after just 10 minutes of gaming with it.

Each time I’d go back to my Superlight, it was instant relief. I just hate how safe of a shape it is. I like the idea of having a perfect mouse for me instead of a mouse that just works for everyone. Makes the mouse feel less special if it’s a shape that works for everyone.

Anyway, I decided I didn’t want to keep going through that process of buying mouse just to return it accompanied by various levels of hand pain and just settled on the Superstrike. Given how safe of a shape this family of mice is, is it kind of stupid and lame for this to be my endgame mouse?

Hi,

I sold my A7IV to purchase an A7V, but was waiting to see what the A7RVI would bring.

My main use case is filmmaking like narrative short films, but also music videos for friends’ bands and potentially taking photos for my day job. I do communications that can sometimes present photo opportunities when our dedicated photo department can’t attend certain events. Right now, this is all personal/passion work rather than professional paid work.

On top of that, I just like casually taking photos. Filmmaking is my main passion and I’d love to break into the industry with my short films.

I have a Tamron 28-75 G2 2.8 lens and a Tamron 24 2.8 lens. Based on everything I have said, would it be better for me to go with the A7V and the Sony 24-50 2.8 G lens or the A7RVI with no lens and just use my two lenses I already have?

I’ve always wanted to go with the FX3, but it’s just not practical for photos. And I’d say the A7V overall is better for me than the FX2. It seems like the A7RVI is better for video in comparison to the A7V, but maybe I’m wrong about that? If it is, is it worth the extra money for me?

Any help or insights are appreciated!

Hi,

I am about a three and a half to four hour train ride away from New York City. Given they are opening up a JMM boutique up there, it would be great to go and pick up a pair or two.

The issue is, I’ve always had a problem finding frames that look good on me and fit me. Will those at the boutique be able to help me find the best sunglasses for me taking into account my face size, face shape, facial features and how sunglasses best sit on my face? Or will they kind of just do what the workers at Sunglass Hut do and show you some frames?

Just curious what the experiences that people have had going to JMM boutiques before are like and deciding if it’s worth the trip or not. Definitely don’t want to go all the way up there if they can’t help me find a shape that is going to work for me.

Thanks for any help or insights!

Hi,

Ever since the Captain America Marvel Rivals statue was showcased at the New York Toy Fair earlier in the year, I knew I wanted it. Marvel Rivals got me back into Marvel and got me into Captain America (more than just MCU as I own many Cap comics now).

Without the rivals iteration of Cap, I wouldn’t be where I’m at regarding that stuff. So, I really wanted that Rivals statue of Cap. I reached out to McFarlane Toys and asked them what I could do to find out so I could purchase. They said to sign up for their newsletter which I did months ago and have checked it every day a new email from them came in.

Then, I find out yesterday (not from the newsletter but from Twitter) that the figures dropped for pre-order and by the time I went to check, they were all sold out everywhere. I checked my email and did receive something from McFarlane, but it had nothing to do with those Rivals statues, so I guess they lied to me about the newsletter thing.

I reached out to McFarlane on the same email thread we had before to see if they could do anything, but obviously, they don’t care.

So, I wanted to come here and see if it is likely they will have some in December available to purchase or if I will have to get lucky via eBay? I’m honestly willing to pay double or more of the retail price just because it means so much to me.

Any help or insights are appreciated as I’ve never purchased statues or anything like that before, including from this company.

Thanks!

Hi,

I have had my Sennheiser HD560S for about 3-4 years now. They have been great, but I am looking for an upgrade. I would like another open back because I can be more aware of my surroundings in my house.

Unfortunately, my room can be pretty noisy between my fan running in my window and then my AC unit running in the summer. So, I guess I’m in the market for closed-back headphones? I want the best headphones for my competitive game (main game is Marvel Rivals), but I also watch movies and TV shows and listen to music on my PC as well.

I’m not sure if there is a perfect set of headphones that covers all of these bases well (competitive gaming, movies, TV shows, and music). So, I figured I’d come here and see based on that, what would be a good pair of headphones for me and my use cases.

I’d say my budget is probably no more than $350 unless there is a pair out there that is more expensive than that, but would do absolutely everything I’d need it to do.

Thanks for any help/insights/recommendations!

Hi,

My main game is Marvel Rivals. I play competitive mostly. I’m not pro, but I want to get better at the game and reach higher ranks.

I bought a Logitech G Pro Superlight 2 back in October of 2025, so it’s still kind of new. I was thinking about upgrading to the Pro X2 Superstrike, but wasn’t sure if that mouse would be much of an upgrade for a game like Marvel Rivals. It seems like most people touting it are those who play click-timing games like CS.

I should also mention that I am a tank player in Marvel Rivals, so the most I’m doing is tracking and I’m not really clicking much. If it’s worth it, then I definitely want to upgrade. Just want to make sure that the money wouldn’t be wasted for my use case. If not, then I’ll definitely buy it from my local Best Buy.

Thanks.
