    Sightings!

    Jantzen Target does indeed have two Scoops -- I forgot who asked, but yep, he is there for $10.

    Jantzen Target also has 1 SW Black Boba Fett and 1 Anakin. I bought the only Clone Trooper and the Stormtrooper was already gone.

    Jantzen TRU has nothing. That store is pathetic.

    Target is getting in these really cool articulated "World of Nintendo" figures too as part of the reset. I bought a 4" Link for $8.99 and he is awesome! Jantzen didn't finish that aisle yet so I got mine in Vancouver.

    The reset is really weird.. Transformers is shoved out of the main boys toy aisle and is one aisle over with Star Wars now all by itself. The main aisle is now TMNT, Power Rangers, Minecraft, Nintendo figures and Marvel / DC stuff.

    Also, Targets up in northern Washington got the new Nemesis / Cliffjumper Legends wave, so it should be any day for us. I didn't see any but Jantzen Target in particular barely had any Legends and the reset of that aisle should be tomorrow.

    It was right on the front of the pegs.

    I went to my local Target Monday and they were mid reset. I didn't see those nintendo figures. I will have to grab me a Link! Was there a Samus as well?

    Nope, no Samus.

    The first wave of $8.99 4" figures are Mario, Yoshi and Link, and I think Link is shortpacked. Wario is on the back of the box but he's not in the assortment, for some reason. Here are some pictures, the ones on the left are the Jakks figures:

    Jakks Pacific World of Nintendo Figures • Page 11 • Butcher Bay: The Video Game Toy Board • The Fwoosh Forums

    Having Link in-hand, he is well worth the $9. I'm quite pleased!

    In the reset, these are going to be right next to the Minecraft figures across from the DC figures in the "main" action figure aisle. There are two pegs worth!

    There is also $14.99 6" figures of Bowser and Donkey Kong, but Target isn't carrying those, only Toys R Us at the moment and our local stores have been cleaned out.

    Hmm, I am kind of disappoint.

    Jakks Pacific usually has really bad paint jobs. Looks like I will have to look for one that is good. I am only interested in Link.

    Wow. THAT's a find...do I dare ask how much they were asking?
    Usually that place has stuff from 3 waves ago and wants 1.5-2x retail price.

    The one I got is decent -- a lot better than what Hasbro is doing lately, imo, in comparable lines.

    These are definitely a step up from old, crappy Jakks toys.

    Believe me, I'm one of the people that found out Jakks had this license and instantly wrote it off as crap :lol

    If anyone comes across a Magneto and Storm TRU exclusive ML figure, could you grab me both?

    I have an online preorder in with a retailer, but BBTS and Dorkside Toys have just announced that their allocation is far less than they anticipated so I'm not too confident I'll get them. With my luck, these things already came and went at our local stores.
