bludd is gonna be such pita to find for most people that I am thinking of doing like I did for a viper and just buy a custom cast of the head and helmet and vest, get a marvel legends or another infantry/duke body...dye it with rit and find a marvel legends figure with a cybernetic looking right arm (maybe Stilt Man) and switch it and call it a day...people all over said they have either gotten from the back, had employees lie and say have none to have a manager say we have x in stock go get him one and the employee getting pissed because its costing him money resaling on ebay...and yet the targets in lexington have said JUNE 20-21, when the other targets in the country said a planogram reset by the 30th of May. or May 18th. And we have already established the guys on Nich Rd buy the exclusives and resale at huge markups.
I bought the Fang because it is a different everything from the other releases. Something feels off about it. Feels more like Lanard toy. Glad I only bought one. He'll be a unique character commanding all my other Fangs.
I thought it was Hamburg? I get the exclusives at Nich Rd all the time vs Hamburg (including the recent MOTU Origins Rise of Evil set) and every Cobra Island figure I've found there on a peg
Only exclusive i ever got from nich rd was firefly. And thats because someone just threw the entire case on shelf and didnt bother to open it or put on the pegs. It was like someone who was frustrated being asked about it just brought up the box and said here. All others ive found in store were at hamburg. The cell guys at nich rd were the ones who told me they had skywarp thundercracker 2 pack but couldnt sell until xxx date. Watched the stock go down every day and 3x i asked and got same answer. Twice from them, 1x from someone stocking toys. Day before xxx date they sold their last 3 and never got restocks. If a board member hadnt got an extra for me id never have gotten.
Bizarre. First wave of cobra island, right on the pegs. Firefly on pegs, asked for rise of evil and they grabbed it. Asked for Spidey Legends, grabbed them, only seen any NECA turtles there, Mando with baby, Thrust, Leadfoot and never at Hamburg. Got all my receipts for it too in case no one believes me lol. But I’m always at Nich road early because school is there and my office is 3 minutes away so idk
Hamburg keeps on top of the exclusives and tends to have them at customer service when they come in. I know a few of the guys here and I have been in line at customer service a few times now for Joes there. Reynolds there like 1 dude there that gives a shit (blonde kid, can’t remember his name) was super cool with Mandy/child set and retro Rogue. It was register locked when he brought it out and tried everything he could to get an override for me and another dude but ended up holding them for us till the lock date. That’s about the only success I’ve had at that one.
Nich rd target has the buzzworthy restock, Shang chi wave, 2 Panthors, 2 NECA Frogs, the new NECA King Kong NECA Walmart has the new retro Joe wave, 2 commanders 2 dukes, the snakes eyes and i took the lady jaye. 5 fangs. 3 bobas, a flocked panthor, the McFarlane gold MK Spawn and a Shang chi wave
Yep. Vipers and FF. Also did it with Beachead and the Trooper. Not sure about Baroness. Missed the release on that one. Do we have a consensus on when to try? Tomorrow? Wednesday? The 30th?
No, try everyday if you really want it. Baroness was just out one day, you can see when it happened ITT
We really don't have an official release date anounced by Hasbro but seems several Target are receiving them, so could be any day.
Newport Target has MODOK, redeco Scarlett, Zartan and a couple Panthors. No bludd...no new SW...no NECA TMNT other than the triceraton twins
damn I hate working until 7+ right now...I need duke and Cobra Commander. And after the online destroyed my lady jaye packaging...I really dont want to order from the website
Anyone seen a retro Scarlett lately. Never did find her this morning I decided I'd give in and pay secondary market prices, expecting that to be maybe $30. I had no idea she was going for that much now.
