3 3/4" sighting and hauls

Has Toys R Us started marking stuff down?

[PushYouDown]

Not that I have seen.

The stores are packed though and starting to get picked over.

 

I have heard some annoyed customers tell employees that they expected everything to be clearanced by now.

[dragonkings]

Yeah, I went to the one nearest me and it was full and being pucked apart BUT NOTHING was marked down yet. I think I heard Thursday begins the Markdowns.

[RandomlyWicked]

I used to work at a Toys R Us and since I'm regularly in there I know the store manager and a bunch of other people. I was in there last weekend and talked to the manager. He said the stuff would start to be marked down this week but it's going to be a slow increase for the next 60 days. He said not only do they have to get rid of the stuff in their store but also all of the warehouses will need to get emptied and who knows what they are going to find in there? He also said that after 60 days there will probably be a final liquidation where they start selling all of the fixtures and whatnot. I am in Madison, WI

[dragonkings]

Well thanks for the heads up, maybe we will find all the HTF stuff they lost in the warehouses through the years. Maybe some gems like the Lost Stan Winston and some hidden GI Joe/ Transformers stuff. Toys R Us has a LONG LONG history they can have anything lost in those warehouses.

not just tru. one of the walmarts by me has a ton of stuff on clearance from all kinds of lines that i know never reached the shelf, yet the shelves are always empty at that store

[PushYouDown]

Target has a lot of Marvel stuff on clearance. I picked up the last wave Iron Man and Ulik for fodder- 6 bucks each.

[dragonkings]

woah,

nice catch.

these hit the market already?

 

65 for 5 figures is kinda high, wonder what these go for normally?

What a joke! I wouldn't get this set for half of that.

[Axonrey]

That's $13 a figure. That's pretty much what single-carded figures are going for. No group discount but right in line with what's normal.

[Ddhawkins]

Hi guys. Is there any news wen the two packs(negative man etc) are coming out?

[RandomlyWicked]

I would also like to know when the two packs are coming. New figures guys! Whaaaaaat!?

[wedge1968]

Gamestop took preorders for the Mister Negative/Spider-Man set a couple of weeks ago.  I procrastinated and didn't get mine in. 

[PsychoPirate]

August 1 is the listed release date for the Negative Man 2 pack.

[Ddhawkins]

Got this lot in the post today.The figures are awesome! The paint ap is spot on and not a derpy eye between em! They all have the old bucks so fully articulated. 

[wedge1968]

Where/how’d you get them?

[Ddhawkins]

In demand toys. They are based in the u.k. I think they ship internationally.

[stitch13]

Does this mean that all 3 sets are being released at the same time? Gamestop only has the Spider-Man/Mr Negative set in their system so far.

[wedge1968]

I thought the others were not exclusive?  Am I wrong about that?

I have no idea. Hasbro had these out at SDCC, but I haven't seen anyone mention them being exclusives anywhere. I just assumed they'd hit Gamestop too seeing how Ddhawkins found them sold together on eBay. At this point, I wouldn't be surprised to hear that Hasbro doesn't even know where they'll end up

Hi stitch. I didn't get the two packs on eBay. I'm sorry I don't know how to do links but they are available from ID TOYS. They are based in the u.k but do ship internationally. It's the only place I've seen any of em turn up. I hope it's helpful.

[wedge1968]

I just got back from Meijer, where I found all three 2-packs.  I have yet to open the one with the Collector, but I like them so far (although the leg on my Spider-Man is a little wonky).

After lunch, I have to rush off to GameStop to cancel my preorder and get my $5 back.

If you have a Meijer in your area, you might want to check.

So the Spidey set isn't a Gamestop exclusive? Between this and the recent TVC Island Rey debacle, Hasbro really needs to stop 3.75" exclusives until they can sort themselves out.

And thanks ddhawkins. I assumed eBay but didn't know.

Indeed!
I also found the Gamerverse sets. I got Mr. Negative/Spidey & 2x Ryu/Black Widow.
The Spidey set is not a Gamestop exclusive. I don't know how that came about. My theory is they were supposed to get them "first" but either Hasbro or Gamestop dropped the ball on that.
