Yeah, I had to go to eBay and pay 2-3x retail for stuff like the Battle Monger (in red/gold), Hot Zone, and Inferno Armor. Can't understand why that last wave saw such a limited release... all I can figure is that they figured interest was dying down and they underproduced them or cancelled production at the last minute and shipped what they had.

I actually just bought War Monger. The one with Obby in it. He is awesomeness.

You know what else I don't recall being mentioned at SDCC at all? The IM Armored Adventures figures. The cartoon is currently airing though I've never seen it, but outside of the images posted earlier in this thread, I've never heard anything about them. Still getting released?

I never saw that wave at retail either but I was lucky to get the ones I wanted from HTS. I passed on Battle Monger and Hot Zone. There was another wave with the blue Iron Monger, gold Mark I, Scuba Armor (?), and Artillery Armor. I only saw the blue Iron Monger at a TRU in Savannah and it was there for a few months, although I don't go to Savannah that often because of the distance so it could have been from different cases for all I know. It would be great if the 6" line would continue but with the Iron Mongers shelf warming I wouldn't be surprised if that was what killed the line.

The sad thing is I would have definitely bought all the versions of the Iron Monger IF ONLY I COULD FIND THE IRON MAN FIGURES FIRST!!!!!

A Monger without a Tony to beat up is a sad Monger.

It sucks too because there was this first week back in 2008 when I first saw the series 1 figures at ToysRus, Iron Man and all.

Then,...nothing. Nothing but MONGERS! And Titanium Man, and Mark 1's.

And now, nothing but MONGERS! Ugh.

First time I've ever heard of such a complaint. Even though Mongers are the most common shelfwarming figures from the movie line, I've never failed to find an Iron Man of some kind. Maybe not the proper movie version Marks I-III, and maybe that's what you mean, but never nothing but Iron Mongers.

You might as well get one now, because then he'll be in proper scale with the 3.75" movie figures we're getting for IM2.

I should have clarified that. I meant mark 2, 3, & variants of Iron Man.

I could always find mark 1 Iron Man, Iron Mongers (punching, cockpit, blue) and titanium mans. All I wanted was a mark 3 to display with an Iron Monger.

But for the longest time it's been nothing but Mongers.

Yeah, my local TRU has been sitting on nine pegs of 6" Iron Man, with absolutely nothing but SOLID Mongers for months. I see it at least once a week; I'm going to be stunned when I go in and they have something else on those pegs.

Hit up your local TRU. They have a Mark 1-3 pack. The regular first release seems to sparatically pop up as well

None of my ToysRus stores got that.

Well, maybe they did and sold out quick.

All we have are the stupid cars and ridiculously overpriced Titaniums whose quality is so bad I've yet to find one that looks decent enough to buy.

Why, just this saturday I went to a TRU and found a Titanium iron man with no metal back piece/spine. Just bare metal and rivets underneath.
