Burnsville Toys R' Us had 2 Wheelies, 1 Stripe, and 1 rewind on the island shelf pegs back in the action figure section. They had another smaller island shelf to the north of the customer service desk where they had put out the "newer" Transformers. Apparently they are doing a "remodel" and hope to have everything done in about 2 weeks or so....
So for those people not in the northern metro area, have any of you seen any of the following Marvel Legends figures anywhere... Carnage, Black Cat, or Ghost Rider? Or the older releases like Archangel and Jean Grey? I'm back slightly into Marvel Legends, but only for Spider-Man and X-Men related stuff. I have been to a TON of Walgreens as I've been finding a lot of the older stuff and exclusives to them lately. (And also always on the lookout for the Brainstorm exclusive)
Do they have a BaF? I tend to glance at them when checking TFs but I'm not familiar who's in what wave to know if they've passed or are yet to come. I think more recently I've seen Kitty Pryde and the Pheonix. Before that I think it was the dude who came with a head in a remote controlled car?
Yes, they do. Spoilered due to a number of links to photos... Spoiler Carnage and Black Cat comes the wave that the BAF was Ultimate Green Goblin (the big Hulk-like version) http://images.comiccollectorlive.com/covers/470/470c9e5e-e437-4db0-9fe3-eeefe58b8869.jpg http://marvellegends.net/MarvelLegends/InfiniteSpiderMan/PackagedBlackCat.jpg Ghost Rider is from the BAF wave for the Rhino. (He's the only one of his wave I can't find.) http://ep.yimg.com/ay/yhst-40479410...ghost-rider-pre-order-ships-spring-2015-7.gif Jean Grey was from the BAF of Rocket Raccoon wave. http://marveltoynews.com/wp-content...es-2-Wave-5-Rocket-Raccoon-e1375234382545.jpg And Archangel was the Hit Monkey (!?) BAF wave. http://www.actionfigurepics.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Marvel-Legends-Archangel.jpg I think my chances of finding Jean or Archangel in any kind of store are very much not likely, but the other three might be easier.
I'm glad you didn't cuz a bought a few of them off ya...and I woulda lost even more when I unloaded the entire set for $600. Oh well, they were great for a while there.
Cedar Cliff has tons of Marvel Legends in package if your desperate. I still see a few of the Rhino/Goblin waves but they're slowly giving way to Hulkbuster and beyond.
Got my wave 2 deluxes today from the Chosen Prime. TR just keeps getting better and better. Best line since Combiner Wars.
If you aren't burned out on CW yet, I highly recommend Computron. The paint job is fantastic, and puts the standard retail teams to shame. Strafe is also a great take on G1 and makes great use of the Air Raid remold. Afterburner looks different enough from Groove as well. I only regret Hasbro didn't use Takara Nosecone. But I would expect that to be reused for UW Liokaiser, which I'm 95% certain I'll import over the CW version. Makes me regret not getting Grand Galvatron and makes Megatronia incredibly tempting. Really going to miss these combiners whenever they officially close the door on them. I'll keep my fingers crossed for beast teams in 2017...
Yeah, I really like Comput-Ron and just got the payment request for the UW version. Someone needs to sell me a Scrounge, otherwise I'll probably grab this set as well when it's on sale. I need Scrounge, and the differences between Hasbro and UW are different and interesting enough to have both if I have to.
Does anyone have experience with the hair dryer method for straightening soft plastic? Normally I don't mind it, but when Hasbro packed my Scattershot the combiner head was crooked so they're both bent and look goofy as sin. It's in an awkward spot so I'm not sure if the water method would work as well. Do I just have the dryer blow for a minute or so then use ice?
Ridgedale TRU: 2X Fort Max, and a couple of those RID TRU exclusive Primes. Ridgedale Target: 1X Chromedome, 1X Highbrow. Ran into a local collector at TRU...not sure if he's a member here.
Burnsville Target hates Titans Return. Zero stocked at any size. Burnsville TRU had what looked like a full case of wave one deluxes. A few were located right in front of you after you go through the arch inside the entrance. The rest were in the normal spot.
The whole north metro seems to hate Titan Masters. All the Targets around me have done their aisle reset, but I have only seen mainly empty shelves for the Transformers section outside of the RiD leftovers.
WTF? I wanted a second Wierdwolf (because he's the bees knees), but there weren't any of those around. Odd.
Target is doing 10% off everything on their website today. So if you've got a RedCard for stacking you can land a FortMax for about $130 before tax but shipped free. (Okay, so it's in stores too. Haven't checked out the limitations of that...so happy hunting. If someone can land me a Mindwipe or Wolfwire at 15% off I'll give you a genuine hug)
