    That's promising. I'm glad there's signs of them finally showing up.

    They're not always scalpers you know, if a store gets 1 case in and puts them out, people are known to buy them for their own use. I was buying Wreck Gar when I found him, but it was for myself. Scourge will be the same way. If I see 3...they're mine.

    And it's this assumption that pisses me off when other people stash them so I can't buy them for my own use.

    Found just one Scourge at Davis Target and bought him. Still lookin for a Kup for myself though. They had no more in the back so I guess I was a little late. Anyone in the Davis, Walnut Creek/ Concord area please post if you see a Kup in the area or can hide one for me.

    All the Best Lego Sets for 2011

    The Pirates of the Caribbean LEGO sets look awesome! Might have to get myself a Black Pearl or Queen Anne's Revenge set.

    I had a couple of the old LEGO Pirate sets when I was young, but never had a pirate ship.

    Are Thor movie 3.75 inch figures being spotted? I saw them ONCE at a Target, but now I'm fearing it may be a fluke. =(

    I saw them at a Target on Friday. A full fresh case, 2 of each Thor and 1 each of the villains. Who knows if anything is left from the holiday weekend though. The street date is supposed to be next week sometime, but some Targets are putting them out early.

    I didn't pick anything up since I don't have any interest in the line. More about Marvel Universe than the movie lines.

    I found the Thor figures over a week ago. Grabbed one, the fully articulated one in the regular suit. His cape won't stay on lol.

    Two days later they were all gone.

    Ok, what the hell...Animated figs at TRUs are supposed to be on clearance, right? I got a Cybertronian Ratchet for $5.98 just a few days ago, I went to Huntington Beach TRU, saw Rodimus and Ironhide, and got excited, but they were still at $14.99, and I can't seem to get a price adjustment. What gives?

    Can I just never get them for that clearance sale price? or do I have to wait?

    I want these figs, but not for 14.99 + tax apiece. I'm afraid I may have to return them, the only reason I've been looking for Animated right now is because of the clearance prices.

    Saw tons of the Thor figs in Davis Target Sunday. Didn't know it was news until I came here.

    The TRU exclusives are still $14.99 on the TRU website and so I doubt you will ever get an adjustment. The regular releases were the clearance. Sucks but who knows, if they still have enough stock, maybe they will clearance them later on. I remember waiting and waiting for the TRU Insecticons and Perceptor to go on clearance and they never did...just sat there and finally they sold.

    Just buy them already. Take your receipt to the store that has them on sale and get a price adjustment.

    I did that, and I talked to the manager about it and got shot down. "Regardless if they're from the same toy line, they have different UPCs and are different figures, so they have different prices" she told me.

    I tried to explain how this "Animated" line is different from the two current main lines and it didn't matter, she didn't come close to budging. Despite having Cybertronian Ratchet at $5.98 (though coming up as $7.98 on the computer), and the Huntington Beach had all Animated (including C. Ratchet) at the $14.99. So I'm holding onto them and the receipt, going to check time to time to try to get that god damn adjustment.

    Yeah, the TRU exclusives hardly (if ever) go on clearance. I see Universe Darkwind all the time at full price.

    I saw Universe Unicron back in 09 and I wanted to pick it up if I saw it hit clearance. It never did, now I wish I had picked it up for the 49.99 price.
