No Hulk or Hawkeye; there were 10 figures on the pegs, so if the case has 12, I might have missed them. Are they out yet, or are we looking at different pack-outs? Only one Thor and one Loki, everything else was Cap or Iron Man. The figures are good, but Cap has a bad case of Indiana Jones googly-eyes. Went through all four and found the best, but he still looks like he was out partying with Tony Stark last night. Nice detail on his uniform, though; a really good sculpt.

Scott, what you are seeing is the remainders of two cases. There are 8 figures in a case.
I have yet to see them, but know that from a friend who works there. I plan on checking a couple of stores later today.

I found them earlier this week and mentioned it in the area reports thread. The Hulk is HUGE. He takes up the entire package sitting down. The Thor is just a new head on the previous body. Iron Man is a battle damaged Mark VI from the previous one, not Mark VII. Loki has a removable helmet. Cap looked new. Didn't see a Hawkeye there. Apparently it's hawkeye, Loki & Hulk at 1 per case, the rest at 2 I think. Wondering if they're planning a Black Widow.

How depressing is it when a long-awaited batch of toys sets the bar so low that it becomes a new way to describe something bad about other toys?

On the other hand, it did make me chuckle to read the phrase, "bad case of Indiana Jones googly-eyes," so maybe it's not all bad.

Found these today. Found Cap, IM, and Loki at one store, and 3 IMs and Thor at another. No Hulk, and sadly, found a ripped open cardback for a stolen Hawkeye in a merchandise recovery cart.

You only get 1 Hawk, Hulk, and Loki per case. There's 2 Caps, IM, and Thors. I've done a bunch of midnight case opening at Walmart and they only seem to get one or two cases in and then dry up. Here's hoping they actually order more of these!

Thanks, folks! At least I know they are actually out now.

I think you got it wrong. There's no way the casepack can be 1/1/1/2/2/2 in a case of 8 figures. Thor must be one per case.

Any help with another and Loki would be appreciated....I got lucky once and now the one store that had them took the pegs down:(

One of the big problems with Wally World is that not every store carries such exclusives, even if they carry the regular line. Only two of my three Walmarts around here had the 6" figures last year, even though all carried the 4" lines. So far, those same two are the only ones to have the 6" Avengers (naturally, the one I can stop at every morning on the way to work is the one that doesn't carry these things).

I'm so sick of hunting these things. I want Hulk so bad, but my local Supercenter will NOT be stocking them. The next closest Wally is 40 minutes away. I've called every night for 2 weeks asking about them & no one could tell me when they would arrive. Turns out, they arrived Sunday & I missed out on everything.

My closest Walmart just restocked them, so there is hope. I found all BUT The Hulk, which was the only one I grabbed previously. Tonight I grabbed Cap, Thor and Hawkeye. I was disappointed because I think the ones Cap and Thor I left behind last time had better paint apps, but I was happy to finally see Hawkeye.

It's so hard to tell what the future holds. I remember excitedly grabbing the comic Thor and Loki from the 6-Inch Thor line, which disappeared immediately. Then they showed up again, in such great abundance (along with Captain America 6-Inch figures) that they were clearanced and are still hanging in many Wally's around the country.

Will The Avengers 6-Inchers end up like those did, or are the rumors (?) of Hasbro shortchanging production of the line true and these will show up a few times and then they are gone?

Drove 200+ miles tonight looking for these things. 4 towns & 6 Walmarts later I was able to find everyone EXCEPT Hulk & Hawkeye. Crazy

If you are not a completist, the Marvel Select Hulk is better than the Hasbro one. The scale is probably better too.

And I missed them again at my WM. This time they got in two cases and had one set of all but Hawkeye and Hulk and one set gone.
