3 3/4" sighting and hauls

Anyone finding wave 13 or the new comic packs in the Twin Cities area? I went to 2 Targets and a TRU and all I saw were Wolvie/Sabertooth and Frist Class packs, then a few FA Wolvies. I get the feeling that I'm looking in all the wrong places. Can anyone recommend a good store?

While I'm at it, do any of the Walmarts in the metro area carry Giant Battles?

 

 

My sister lives in Prior Lake near Savage and I was just there last week. There is a Target there on Highway 13 that ALWAYS has primo Marvel Universe stuff. I have found THE BEST stuff there. Last year I found Archangel like 5 times, Havok variant twice, the Death Archangel a few times, and so on and so forth. Last week I found Wave 13 there on two separate occasions. The first time I was there there was only a first appearance wolverine. The second time however was last Sunday and they had everyone but Cable. I picked up the Cyclops and left the rest. The walmart over by that area also had the comic two packs of SS/wolvie and DP/taskmaster. Hopefully that helps.

For anyone that lives in the Austin area:

 

I was at Lakeline mall today in Northwest Austin/Cedar Park. The Disney store there had 6 of the X-Men boxed sets and ALL of them were the variant versions with the "bamfing" Nightcrawler. I let them be as I'm just trying to find Cable. Good hunting.

 

 

ugh...tempted to make the trip for this set....

I'm having a hard time talking myself into it. I only want bamfing NC, but I don't want highlighted Storm or gold Colossus. Also, I don't want to pay $50 for it....

You just want to spend some money. Screw that set, they at least could have mad night crawler fully "bamfing"

Whoever posted about a Mem Day restock of Cap figs hit the nail on the head as far as my local Disney Store is concerned. They rejiggered their display so that Cap was front and center and all pegs were full. Snagged a Red Skull, left the other behind. No Crossbones, tho'. Hopefully soon.

 

TRU and Target had zilch for Cap. Target did have Jim Lee Cyclops, 2 Gladiators, and 2 FA Wolverines. No Apocs or Cables, but at least they finally made it to Rego-stan.

Forgot to mention, picked up Heroic Age Cap & a beautiful looking Cap line Captain Britain yesterday. Still working on finding a US Agent w/ good paint apps but that hunt will continue. Anxious to set him up with his proper shield from that Deluxe Cap figure.

 

As for the 6 pack, I'm passing. Went to church & am gonna take the kids swimming instead.

Nice haul there Gerrilius!

@ Parademon i notice that your US agent shield is all silver you painted over the red accent?

 

 

Outstanding attention to detail. I took those stupid red thingies off & painted the shield Mithril silver. I think it looks better now. I plan on buying that cap fig that comes with the classic US Agent shield later on. so I can alternate shields on him.

My hunt fie Xbones and Red Skull is like constantly getting kicked in the balls by an extremely hot girl. Ran up to TRU and it looked like they had just got W2 in, all US Agents were gone, 1 Cap Britain, and of course Skull and Xbones were gone. 3-4 time I was a day late and $1 short. Did get a Cap Brit with good paint app tho.

just a hunch... but... being that Memorial Day weekend is upon us... does anyone else feel that Captain America figs might be restocked for the holiday?

 

would make sense from a marketing standpoint.

 

Oh everything was restocked at Walmart near me. Even wave 13 finally hit. Just a tornado of every person in the world hit the aisle. The shelves were picked clean. But I did manage to find Gladiator.

Went to a Target around me (not as close as others) and there was no MU on the pegs at all. I asked the employee if they had any more since it was empty. He scans the tag and he says he'll go check the back. 5 minutes later he comes back and says they're sold out.

 

Cable and Cyclops continue to elude me!! I found Apocalypse already a few weeks ago at least.

My wallet is hurting. Past 2 weeks pick-ups:

 

2 weeks ago: Giant-Size X-Men Box Set (TRU)

Last Wednesday: Wolverine First Appearance, Gladiator, U.S. Agent

Monday: Winter Soldier, Ultimates Cap, WW2 Cap, Deadpool/Taskmaster, Silver Samurai/Wolverine

Friday: Cable w/ Hope, Cyclops, Apocalypse

Today: Crossbones, Captain Britain, Heroic Age Cap, Odin (Gold & Tan Armor)

 

I passed on the two X-Men: First Class box sets. Already have those (or better) versions of Wolverine & Sabretooth, and I have no interest in the "First Class" continuity Cyclops/Jean costumes. I think Hasbro could've sold the real "First Appearance" Cyclops and Jean costumes (or do Jean's green Marvel Girl costume and a first appearance Cyclops) and sold just as well if not better (since collectors actually know these costumes). Meh.

 

Just need Red Skull (in no rush, tho) to be caught up, then Wave 14 awaits.

 

 

CAN GET FOR YOU TOMORROW MORNING:

 

FROST GIANT and LOKI ($25, tax, shipping)

GOLIATH and THOR CLONE ($25, tax, shipping)

Moon Knight, Silver Surfer, Gladiator (crummy face paint tho, $8, tax, shipping each)

Samurai/Patch 2-Pack ($15, tax, shipping)

 

 

Lemme know before I make me rounds on way to work.
