Raving Toy Maniac

Has anybody seen these at retail yet? I have been looking everywhere......

Got lucky with my first purchase of the blind bag Mega Bloks Marvel micro-figures and found Silver Surfer and now...I can't stop! I've got incomplete sets of the first three waves and...I find out that this might be THE END! No more series of figures past wave three! Say it isn't so!!!!

I've been looking around the internet and can't find anything to confirm or deny it. However, I have run into some interesting information about Lego owning the Marvel license now and causing shenanigans with Mega Bloks through US Customs, Mega suing Lego and US Customs agreeing not to block Mega's product from entrance into the US. Crazy stuff!

So, if anyone knows anything definite about this situation, please let us all know. I can't be the only fan of these little guys on here. Just check out the sculpts that are scheduled (revealed at Toy Fair 2011):

If it is a way I can purchase the Adam Strange/Animal Man/Starfire chapter of 52, I would be very intertested in buying it.

Thanks

Of all the characters, he's the one I'd really want. Has he been announced yet? Voltron needs an enemy to fight!

So far, the variations seem as or more common than the "regular" versions. I've seen plenty of blue Iron Men, and yesterday I also picked up a Steve Rogers with the energy shield (which I believe is the variant, but I could be wrong...does anyone know?).

Weird.

While we may only have a few members now using this section, it would be nice to develop this especially being that many of the Old School members can vouch for each others.

Thanks for the consideration.

Several stores here in Northern NJ have been putting out "The Cube" display which is a nice display packed with all the new Vintage and WM Exclusive wave..in different parts of the store other than toys.

My friend found multiples of each figure at the back end of aisles in our local NJ store and was told by the Hasbro Rep that the Manager asked him to get rid of the display since it took up too much space, so he was left scavenging shelf space as there were not enough pegs to accommodate.

The week before he found them in Lawn/Seasonal section on one store and in the Clearance area at another, all in NJ.

The Hasbro Rep is a cool guy and always offers us information and basically stated he is frustrated at the lack of caring that the Store Managers have for a product that is tied into a new, hot movie and related property.

Make sure you look all over before leaving empty-handed kids!

As there are a ton of resets going on and various clearance items being found all over the Country, I was thinking it might be good to start an ongoing Walmart Clearance Thread.

That being said..

2/12/12 East Stroudsburg PA
Found Cap & Thor 6" Movie Line figures for $6.+/- each including Fury and both Caps, Thor and Loki.

Mezco Classic Tigra for $5

Various Iron Man movie 3 3/4" labeled anywhere from $8.99 down to $3

Iron Man 6" figures for $5 and as high as $8.99 in the same store no less

More to come...

Anyone else think its weird that nothing new was shown at TF??

After several new items were shown at last years SDCC, that stuff still hasn't been solicited at the online stores like EE, BBTS, etc. There was even a giant robot & Bender set that was meant for TRU as an exclusive.

So, what happened? I still want everything that was shown at SDCC!
