Finally!

I picked up the Moonstone, Daredevil and Warpath variants at Target this morning. My aggressive strategy of stopping at Target everyday before work paid off. Couple that with the phasing vision I found a few weeks back, I am all caught up on Marvel Universe.

 

Now I can rest....Until the Mandarin wave starts popping up regularly.

Nice. (Yep, jealous.) ;)

Have faith man, it's the time of year trust me. My birthday is in a couple of weeks and all thru my childhood and even to this day it's been this way. It's just the after Xmas time when stores aren't really interested in stocking toys and are concentrating on inventories.

 

Normally, I would agree. But my Target hasn't received any new Marvel U since last August b/c of all of the AIM Troopers and various Iron Men that are clogging the shelves (and a handful of Spideys I noticed today). My hope was that after Christmas they would clearance those figures out, but they did not. They didn't order new figures for Christmas b/c of the glut, so I don't expect them to order more ever at this point.

 

Time for my monthly gripe, I guess. Still nothing at Target. Been since August. Every peg is full to max with Iron Man and AIM Soldiers.

 

Also no restock on Marvel at my local Wal-Mart since way before Christas or Meijer since last summer (but the usually only get 1-2 shipments of action figures a year, it seems :rolleyes: )

 

No restocks on Star Wars, or any of the various DC Comics stuff at any of the 3 stores since about late November. Only restock on GI Joe was at Target a month ago and it was the first Wave of the post-movie stuff.

 

All three stores have restocked all other toys except action figures fairly regularly.

 

I'm sure I'll be back with the same complaint in another month.

I have my hopes up today as I spoke to a girl in my local Disney store and she said that they were getting their shipments in as we spoke. Over 200 boxes! Surely within those 200 boxes there has to be a few MU figs right?

Posted

I hauled in Thor, Loki, Odin, Frost Giant and deluxe Frost Giant from Target last night. MU has been skimpy for the last two weeks though. service person said they should have new stock in sometime today, hopefully I can get my hands on a variant or two!

I have high hopes for friday morning at my local TRU. When I went last week I noticed they no longer had two sections of MU and they had put all of them in a shopping cart and left the pegs empty. I went back the next day(Friday) and the pegs were empty and the cart was gone. I asked an employee about it and he scanned the pegs and said they had none(I believe him) in stock, but the truck comes on Thursday night. I think a big restock is coming and I am debating going Thurs. night or Friday morning, or both.

So my target has had the same revision case come in about 4 different times. And in it are three out of the four variants. Moonstone, warpath, and DD. And EVERY time I go there, I see the entire box EXCEPT for those three. It is really beginning to frustrate me!

Dude I found that revision case twice in one weekend, one at target, one at walmart. Both times I missed the warpath. On another note; Picked up my second Frost Giant today, will be buying a deluxe tommrow. I also have Odin and Loki.... still trying to figure out what Thor I want...

So I checked out that Disney Store and I'm glad I did. I picked up a

Black Panther

Moonknight

Jean Grey (which unfortunatly looks like she just got done making a porno with Scott)

Yellow Jacket (better paint then the one I had)

and....Phasing Vision!!

Can't believe I found him.

 

I left behind a

Grey Hulk

Silver Surfer

Wolvie (new head school outfit)

all of which I need but couldnt spend another $80 on figures.

 

BTW Disney has the highest retail price of $9.50 BUT if you have a Disney Chase card and spend over $50 you get 10% off making them about to the same price as Target/TRU/WM.

Geez are you buying direct from Mickey? Check out Disneystore.com. They have all of the WW Hulk wave, almost every Iron Man, and about half of the SW 2 packs.

Haha yea no kidding, mickey is freaking ripping me off. But yea like I went in there the other day and they had all of the WWH wave, for 24.95. and right next to them were the marvel select figures for 19.99. I was like "something is wrong with this picture..."

TRU in metairie La has thor figures. I got Loki and battle hammer thor. They're pretty cool.

 

Clearly there isn't the number of iterations possible as Iron Man using only a few molds, but the molds are really nice and seem to be an advancement in toys. i.e. Loki's cloth is soft and easily moves with him, as does the material at thors hips.

 

Only issue< i suppose, is the goofy weapons they come with. If these are only on the toys i am fine with them, but they have the potential to really 'power ranger' up the whole movie.

 

oh, very important!!!! not all of them have good poseability so check before you buy.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

and for all you clever boys who want to say this has all been said before: please find something more constructive to contribute. there's an infection of people forcing others to validate what is essentially just free innocent kindness given to the forum.

Not a bad haul today. At Target in Aurora I got:

 

Thor Deluxe Frost Giant

Thor Invasion Frost Giant (forgot to put this in the pic :sleep: )

Spider-man Carnage (did'nt think I would find this again.)

 

Then I went to TRU in Mayfield and snagged:

 

GI Joe RoC Night Adder

GI Joe RoC Red Fang Ninja

GI Joe RoC Kamakura

:smile: NEVER thought I would see these in retail! :smile:

GI Joe PoC Destro (new)

GI Joe PoC Shadow Tracker

 

 

They got a ton of the new wave of GI Joe (Shadow Tracker, Destro, Low Light, Skydive, Cobra Shock Trooper). If anyone needs em, drop me a PM.
