3 3/4" sighting and hauls

[shaneva002]

Found wave 16 falling off the pegs today at my walmart lol I swear whenever I buy online I find the figs in abundace but as soon as I decide to forgo the online route and wait for retail it becomes a ghost town.......

 

Oh and the absorbing man here was flesh tone.

[GERRILLIUS]

Nice. What store did you find them in?

 

Picked up these bad boys yesterday at toys r us now jis need a sif and king loki

[jaybird7072]

Toys r us n san antonio..

[Sciencefriction]

My Walmart finally got some new MU! Wave 16, which doesn't surprise me (Target is just now getting Wave 15, regular not revision). I got there and there was still one Wolvie, Magneto, Iceman, Tony Stark Iron Man, 2x Flesh Absorbing Man, Commander Rogers, and Namor. I bought both of the Absorbing Man (cause I figure he is the variant, right??) and another Rogers b/c the eyes look good and full.

 

Still no Loki though! Argh!

[Nintendojkr]

Dang no luck at target for the new wave. Im glad these are coming up at walmart though

[Supertom]

Dang, I've almost completely taken Walmart off of my hunting map because the 1 store (out of like 6) that still carries MU suuuuuccks. They've had the same 2 packs and 6 month old revisions cases on the pegs forever. Although I think I remember someone asking about the Thing/Bulldozer SW 2 pack. There's three of them there.

 

Wave 16 where are youuuu??

[peepulation469]

Picked up Iron Man, Wolverine, Ice Man, and Flesh Toned Absorbing Man. Still looking for missing figures/variants. Ms. Marvel, Warpath Silver, Vision, Classic Havok, AA Deathmask, Iron Patriot. Will trade well for any.

I'll take an Absorbing man, what you looking for trade wise?

[bigbadMURKdaddy]

I came across wave 16 today at walmart, however all the cards were trashed. I just picked up magneto since he's my favorite character; everyone was right when they said the paint job is horrible. I was lucky to get the comic pack with magneto/spiderman through ebay, hopefully they redo magneto in the near future.

 

If anyone is selling one of those hulks i'd buy one off someone...also looking for an iceman

[shaneva002]

Ya I agree, despite the new body on the new magneto I still think the SWs one is better......

 

Anyway went to an outta the way target and thought I saw a Dark/Modern Ms Marvel and freaked out until I got closer and realized it was just a left over classic version 8/

I could use an Iceman if you have more needs than are listed...

[spideydj488]

Pick up a whole case of wave 16 at Target for $6.99 each. Can't beat that...

[jason1551]

Snagged Absorbing Man and the Target Two-Pack Wolverine off eBay for $12 combined. Pretty happy with that, as W16 has come and gone in my area, and I've wanted a consistent Wolverine for all of my different X-Men groups and the Target one fits the bill perfectly.

 

I also came across the Street Fighter sets when I stopped by there earlier this afternoon. Can't say I was overly impressed with them, but I did like that there was a consistent scale to them all. Flipped them over to check out what else was in each wave, and I have to say that I'm pretty excited for the second SFII wave. M. Bison/Akuma and Chun Li/Vega sound like pretty good pairings. The SFIV wave has Rufus in it, so maybe he can be used for a custom Blob/Kingpin/Random fat guy.

 

In other news, times are tight, and I'm returning most of the stuff on my "Haves" list. Of course, that will be pretty obvious the moment my signature shrinks down, but I figure I'd give everyone a head's up before I return them in the morning in case anyone still needed any of them.

[RMustang]

Picked up from the Iron Man wave... Mark I, II, and War Machine munitions

[tetragrammaton]

how long is that 6.99 at target sale going on?

[spideydj488]

how long is that 6.99 at target sale going on?

 

I think until Saturday, Oct 22, 11:59pm. But I could be wrong... Sometimes price cuts at Target last more than a week.

[oldmanlogan]

I just got Astonishing Wolverine flesh tone Absorbing Man and a showdown Thing (who is pretty cool even with the missing wrist artic) did anyone else notice Wolverines claws being separate on the card back? looks pretty cool

[irishmofo]

Got my case of wave 16 from small joes today. I'ma big xmen fan,so I was pretty happy about this set. Well,I'm always happy to get anything new. But, I think wave 15 was better overall. There was a lot of potential doing Iceman, Astonishing Wolvie and Magneto. But doing just repaints was kinda lame. That being said,they will do for now and I'm happy to get them. I painted Magnetos face black except for his eyes. Looks cool. Also, I think the flesh Absorbing man is the regular more wide release version. The metal seemed to show up in the first cases shipped,like the ones to BBTS. Everyones been finding flesh version recently. So I'm glad I bought a metal one off ebay for $15 shipped. I have a feeling it might be the new astral Strange. And I missed that one.

[SALI]

I wish marvel figs are stocked the way these gijo figs are!!!

[jaybird7072]

Anyone have a absorbing man metal version for trade? On card or open let me know thanks. Scored all of wave 16 today at walmart now jus need rhe metal version. Heelp a brotha out :)

[Prem1x]

I wish marvel figs are stocked the way these gijo figs are!!!

 

Around my parts, it's the opposite. I feel like Joe pegs are always bare and doesn't sell nearly as well as MU (but combined SW sales probably kill them both).

[jason1551]

Random sighting of the day:

 

Two Lizards and a Scorpion at my local old abandoned Old Abandoned K-Mart. Seriously, that place never has anything, and somehow they managed to stock up on Spider-Man and Captain America. Go figure.

 

Awesome score of the day:

 

Snagged a metal variant Absorbing Man for $7.50 off eBay. I'm never certain that eBay should count as a haul, but I managed to get both versions of him for less than retail price. I can live with calling that a good deal.

[bigbudman]

Had to go downtownto get circus tix for the kids, and decided to stop at wally on the way home. They had a case of wave 16 on the floor. snagged a reg absorbing man (I had already gotten the metal one in my case from BBTS), as well as a full second set for myself, as I gave the other set from the case to hellseeker.
