My local Walmart here in southeast MA just put out 2 cases of Caliban wave.  I suspect we'll see more of this,  WM and Target probably have a bunch of extra stock from recent waves that will get put out somewhat randomly from now til who knows when.

Had the same thing happen to me, I called my local Target when BrickSeek showed it was in stock, it sounded like they had it on the shelves but the employee knew it was street dated, said Sunday was the day.  

Yup.  It shows in stock at all the Targets in my area.  I actually saw 3 on the shelf at one, but when I tried to scan it at checkout the register wouldn't take it and gave a message about the street date.  The cashier had the stock pulled from the shelf until the street date.  I had a feeling that was going to happen, but I thought I'd try just in case.

So, glad that a desirable set like this is Target exclusive and not Walmart.  It's the one I want the most and Target exclusives are historically easy to get as they usually stock them everywhere and in decent numbers.  I've even seen restocks of the Hawkeye and Black Widow Endgame set at several Targets in my area.

Yeah it's a good thing.  My local Target is notoriously bad with exclusives though, so I'm glad to see some stock at last, they never got the other three exclusives this year.  I know I'll try to be there first thing on Sunday to snag this one, it's my most anticipated 80 years set.

So is anyone seeing the 80th Cap show up at Target? Apparently some folks have found it there, despite that it was/is a Walmart exclusive. I've ran the DPCI through Target's system and it identifies it but it's not in stock anywhere around me.

What’s the DPCI?

DePartment Class and Item. It's the number of registry for every figure, part of their Universal Product Code (UPC) which can be entered at every Stock Keeping Unit (SKU) in every store.

Thank you! I just meant the actual number though. 🙂

 Color me intrigued. I also had a store run the DPCI in their system at customer service and it identifies it perfectly as 80th Cap, but no info in their system, not even a price.

Target does not list it on their site and brickseek shows product “N/A” when using 087-16-0463. However both Walmart’s site and brickseek have the figure listed accurately in description, images and pricing, for Walmart.

While there certainly is a first time for everything, in my decades of collecting, I can never recall a Walmart exclusive also showing up at Target so as such, I’m quite skeptical of this figure actually being available at Target. It would of course be much more ideal than just Walmart solely getting the figure but I’m not holding my breath. The only thing that will convince me is a clear picture of the figure and the receipt, proving it was purchased at Target.

Here is a screen shot I’ve taken from an IG post (_rektangular's) that supposedly shows the figure and Target receipt. Note that the item listed as "Hasbro" is what is supposed to be 80th Cap, while the other item is clearly listed as "THR", or Thor. Is it possible that someone "returned" one or more 80th Caps to one or more Target stores, knowing they'd match in the system? I don't know how plausible that is. I agree that it's unlikely for what is supposed to be a Walmart exclusive to show up at Target, too, and I'm not sure which is more believable. I mean, we've definitely seen supposed exclusives become non-exclusives, but not only has this been completely unmentioned, but it doesn't seem like Walmart's style to share. Also...was it ever 100% confirmed that 80th Cap is/was a Walmart exclusive? I recall there being a lot of confusion about that.

Yep.  Everyone but Storm.  

This is Warlock Cyclops all over again.  I will never see a Storm in a store.  Storm is sold out online everywhere. I will never own this particular Storm. 

 

Maybe in three years she'll get re-released in an impossible to acquire three pack wearing a stupid bomber jacket.

Do you ONLY buy in stores? Because I'm sure the wave will warrant several "pressings" and restocks. I'm sure it's harder if you only shop in stores, but you could try talking to some employees and ask them to help you out when or if it arrives. 

Do you even enjoy this hobby anymore? Every post I see from you is a complaint.

Well at least you're not bitter.

Seriously though, you'll find it, it'll just take a little patience and work. To date, I've never failed to find a Marvel Legends figure I wanted. I've occasionally had to pay a SMALL mark-up, but the point is I found them. I don't see Storm being any different.

Nope. Never found Warlock wave Cyclops.

I used to. I guess I shouldn't post unless I have happy news.

Can't really fault the man for that. QC issues, distribution, scalpers, shop-lifters, retailer indifference, unseen exclusives; this hobby can really wear you down, I don't care who you are. After Mattel put a taint on the whole dang thing with their sub-scam back in the day, I literally had to walk away for a little over a year.

Yeah, that's why I'm asking. I hope I didn't sound mean or anything. I know how stressful this hobby can get, I can relate, I've been having a hard time with both Endgame Cap and Corvus Glaive and neither have given a glimpse of even coming to my country. But I keep enjoying everything else that comes out. If I didn't... why would I keep doing this? For mental health I'd probably walk away for a while, at least.

That's not what I meant, man, I'm sorry it came out like that. I wish I could help you out getting the figures you can't find, but shipping would be the death of it. For the moment, I'd recommend looking online or in secondary markets. I'm sure that Warlock wave Cyclops is about to take a dip in aftermarket prices. Good luck and I hope you find your Storm.

Thanks.  I spent my entire last weekend driving to every Gamestop I could, armed with their own website indicating she was in stock at that store.  Only to hear the same thing over and over:  Sorry. Presold. 

I am bitter because I know we are going to see Muramasa blade Wolverines and Bomber Jacket Dazzlers clogging the pegs for months, maybe years, and the one figure any one who knows anything about Marvel Legends would realize is wanted is even packed.  Drives me insane.  Juggernaut wave Deadpool.   Mysterio.  Beast.  Anyone with half a brain would know to double or even triple pack these.  But no.  

 

This whole concept of pre sold out gets me going.   Just make enough, and we will buy them!!!!

Anyone have the SKN number (TRU Canada) for the Iron Man/Iron Spider Man 2 pack?  It was up on it's site but I missed out on it.  Now it's not there anymore so I don't know the SKN number to use to call up stores to ask if they'll get more.


Thanks,

That wave has been on shelves for what, 3 weeks tops? With how much of them are showing up as of now, I feel confident that wave will eventually saturate. The last X-wave was that way. It's just going to take some time.
