I finally found a PM/IF comic pack with an acceptable paint job at Target today, and the GotG and Future Foundation 3-packs at Wal-Mart. I'm all caught up on stuff for now. Also, does anybody know when the Daredevil/Bullseye comic pack is supposed to come out?

Hi all, I've recently gotten into the Punisher Max series, and I'm trying to make a custom Punisher more in that style. I found an X-men Origins Wolverine Sabretooth for the coat, arms and legs, but I'm having a really hard time trying to figure out how to open him up to get his arms. Likewise with the Wave 3 MU Punisher torso. Like I said, I've never done anything like this before, but I think that Frank deserves a figure worthy of him. Does anyone have any ideas that could help me?
Edit: Nevermind.

So I've been out of the everyday hunt for a little bit recently. Other things have taken up my time. Primarily playing Dead Island and trying to get in better shape(I've lost 12 pounds so far). Anyway, my girlfriend works at Target, and she told me they had the Warriors Three and Destroyer from Thor in stock. I've been trying to find them for weeks now.
She put them on hold for me, and when I went to pick them up, I see all of wave 15. I didn't even know the wave was out yet. I grabbed 1 of each of them except Namor(who had a crappy paintjob on one, and a broken leg on the other) This is a far cry from the scrambling I did to find wave 14. So sometimes you just gotta take a break, and good things will happen.

Make that three. And I'd sweeten the pot if necessary.
I suppose the bright side is that I'm not alone in having the worst luck in finding stuff ever.

I'm just gonna put this out there. I would pay cost + shipping for a regular Dr. Strange.

Can someone help me out with a Dr. Strange or Scarlet Spider? I got Cable w/Hope and Cyclops for trade.
I feel ya. I'm getting really tired of being patient on these guys. In fact, I just paid 15 bucks on eBay for a Scarlet Spider.

I bought Fandral, Volstagg, Hogun and Destroyer in the Toys R US - Orlando Premium Outlet.
Late July...
I was up there July 19th, and all they had was a lone helmeted Thor. Was this after the 19th?

About to go do the Target rounds here in MA for Destroyer (bahaha) and Wave 14. Wish me luck! Anyone looking for anything while I'm out?
I would totally pay cost + shipping for an astral or regular Doc Strange or a Scarlet Spider. Also, the Warriors Three or Destroyer. My luck is totally terrible down here in Florida. I'm just gonna start pre-ordering everything.

Okay I went to a second and third TRU today and again found NOTHING! big shock.
Went to I think 5 Wal-marts (honestly lost count as I got lost somewhere in the middle of the state). Last WM I went to, I honestly don't even know where I was. My wife has my GPS in Baton Rouge/New Orleans area so she can shop after work. I kept thinking I needed to turn around while I could still find my way back. But found one last WM and they had at least 3 each of the Warriors and about 6 or 7 destroyers from Thor!!!! I couldn't believe my luck. Almost midnight, probably close to 100 miles from home, and a WM in the middle of nowhere has the freaking Thor wv 2!!! Can't say how tempting it was to be a hoarder and snatch up ALL the warriors and like 5 Destroyers!lol But if anyone lives somewhere near Orlando possibly closer to Lakeland, basically in the middle of nowhere.... I think it was at least 20 to 30 miles to an interstate or other big highway. Check your Wally's!!!
Also, a couple Walmarts before that one I found one of the Frost Giant sets marked down to $17 so I picked that up too. Now that I probably would have gotten more than one if they had them, just because I know my kids would also like to set up some huge battle with a bunch of those guys.
Oh, I should mention, none of them are really MOC. Crappy packing, or stupid employees being careless when they put them on the pegs. But I'm going to open them anyway.
Damn, I really wish you had found those closer to home man.

Finally found some Hydra soldiers (non-deluxe) at Targets today. I tell ya, it was hard to leave ANY on the pegs. I wanted to build my army in one day.lol
Also found 1 GI Joe Skystriker at a Target (scanner said none in back too). And a lady was nice enough to pull out an entire display box plus another smaller box of MU stuff. Pretty much completely revision stuff that we've already got at least one of. But it was nice. We put them on the pegs for her.
Also went ahead and picked up Mr Freeze in the Batman Legacy line. I had passed on all of them before when I was by myself, but when the whole family saw it and thought it was cool and my oldest just kept asking if we were going to get it..... how do you say no to a figure the whole family likes?lol
Most stoked about the skystriker and the regular Hydras. Still don't have as many of them as I do the deluxe, but we're on our way now.
BTW, I have an old Cobra Night Raven that I was thinking about trying to make an XMen Blackbird out of. Any ideas on how I should go about doing that? I know, there's a custom forum. I'll post a question there. Just thought I'd throw it out while I was rambling. I've never really customized and I've been holding off putting it together and putting the stickers on until I came up with a good way to change it.
Also saw the Assasin's Creed stuff. Some were pretty cool, but I already spent about $100 on toys today so I thought I'd better pass while the wife is still cool with it all.lol
So HIT YOUR TARGETS today. (pun not originally intended, but it works)
Dude, what Target had the hydras?

Good news: The Target stores near me are doing their reset
Bad news: Thus far the only new figs they have put out have been out of the revision case. I already have those :P
Yeah, Same here. All I found at Target today was the Assassin's Creed figs and revision waves of MU. So much for the reset being all that exciting.

aaargh!!!! when are we going to see them around HERE?!?!? Come on Hasbro, don't ignore central Florida. It's too big a market.
Of course, as much as it's killing me to not see any of wave 14; it'll be much worse if I can't find any of the next one - with Commander Rogers et al. I hope this is just a minor (and temporary) fluke and there will be plenty sitting on the shelves soon. If this is the new status quo then I'll likely stop collecting. With 6 kids, I can't afford to pay aftermarket prices on entire waves of figures!!!
I picked up a Falcon and a Skaar when I was up in Orlando, so I know they're hitting some places near-ish to Tampa. Of course, I haven't found a damn thing Wave 14 related in Tampa.

Went to fry's today to get my new laptop and was suprise to see that they had MUs,thor and captain movie lines lol nothin good but was suprising.Did hit up a toysrus and target but nothin there either >.< the search for Cable continues........
I'm really not enjoying the search for Cable... It makes me sad.

I went to two different Walmarts and one Target today, and I was able to pick up a Cyclops! Now I just need to find Cable, and I'll be ready for wave 14!

I snagged a Wolvie/SS two-pack and Apocalypse today. I found them both at different Wal-Marts. Target has been slipping for me lately. This gives me hope that I'll actually be able to find Cable and Cyclops pretty soon.

Just got back from K-Mart. They had the three-pack. I thought that was gonna give me all sorts of trouble, the K-Marts around me never have anything.

Great success today. I got up really early and checked a Wal-Mart and a Target, and nobody had stocked the Cap stuff. After a few hours, I went to a Target near me and they only had wave 1. I picked up Winter Soldier and WW2 Cap but I was pretty bummed out for lack of wave 2.
Before heading home, I decided to check the Wal-Mart near me that always disappoints me, and they only had wave 2! I picked all of Wave 2 up. Wave 2 is much better than wave 1, but US Agent has some pretty horrible paint apps on the star on his chest. Overall, I'm really stoked!

So, would you gents consider it ill-advised to go to Wal-Mart at 12:01 and ask them to pull the Captain America stuff from the back? I know it may seem a bit impatient, but I'm a bit of an impatient guy.

all they had was wave 1
This worries me. I've been psyching myself up for waves 1 and 2, with two being so superior to one. Now I have this terrible feeling I'm only gonna find wave 1.

I picked up a Frost Giant/Loki today. I passed on Goliath.

Yesterday was my birthday, so I figured I'd check out some stores and see what they had. I went to Wal-Mart, and they had an Archangel! I had almost given up hope of ever finding one at retail, so that was awesome. After that, I decided to check out Target. I was hoping to score some of the $3.24 two packs. I found one Hand Ninja/Wolverine, and to my surprise, a Spider-Man Carnage! He was another one I never figured I'd see.

Holy crap, I am so jealous of your find! Not so jealous of the lice-infested kids. That part kind of sucks.
