    Is War machine only coming out at Walmart? Because the Mark 3 I got at TRU has War Machine on the cross sell on the back of it's card.

    It's a super rare variant packaging, no collection is complete without it!

    I preordered Mark 3 on HTS when I grabbed another Sigma JoeFly for a custom.

    Last night, in KB, I held Mark 3, and all the other figures in my hands. HTS won't ship my Mark 3 until April 4th. :banghead: 

    Of course, KB was selling them for $11, and with a coupon, I only paid $8 (plus shipping, though) online.

    Cancelling my online order is going to be a gigantic pain in the @$$, but without doing that first, I can't go back to KB, because I'm broke as a joke. Dangit. :banghead: 

    What do I do? Chris? Suggestions?

    I just came back from 2 Targets, 1 Wal*Mart (and called another W*M), and came up empty handed. No Iron Man, I didn't even see any space for a new toyline on the shelves.

    Was it like this in anyone else's area?

    No Iron Man stuff here yet.

    I have a feeling they'll be hitting very shortly though. Target's toy aisles are due for a major overhaul with the Target Exclusive 25th G.I. Joe vehicles about to hit any day now.

    Yeah, I was at 2 Targets and a TRU this week, neither had any figs OR spots for them. I'm in Pittsburgh, so I don't know what that means distribution wise, since I've heard other people in PA say they've seen them at retail already.

    Lame? (yes)

    I saw the Iron Man figs at TRU this morning. Im going to wait until Target gets them so I could use the ($5 off $25) coupon that is floating around.

    I also hit up Walmart and found War Machine which I bought.:)

    AFAIK the Iron Man movie toys are going to be on an endcap first, probably moving down the toy aisle after the endcap has run its course(usually a month). Oddly enough, I haven't seen any endcap salesplanners or planogram revisions for the new GI JOE vehicles and no one online seems to have the DPCI so I can check their status in our guns. You wouldn't happen to have the DPCI for the vehicles would you DevilzFan?

    Stopped at a Target, and picked up 2 Repulor Reds (1 for a custom), and Mk III, using a $5 off $25 dollar toy purchase coupon. I'm rather pleased with all three, though like most people, I would've liked to have seen better hands. On SC, the shoulder pads are fine, but on Mk3, they're a bit loose.

    Now, all I need is Mk II and War Machine and I'm in my happy place. Personally, while the WM looks great in the pictures, I would've prefered it to be yet another repaint of Mk3, just because I'm not sure I like those hinged weapons.

    Oh, and of the Targets I stopped at, only one had IM figures, and they had 3 Mk III's, 2 Proto's, and 20 or so SC's, so they were definately plentiful.

    Lastly, given the hard co-sell of WM, I'm wondering if it's a soft Wal-mart exclusive, like Hasbro has done in the past, where Wal-mart gets special cases of the figure with the "only at Wal-mart" sticker on it, and then in a few months, the figure is everywhere (Target, TRU, etc.), like Hasbro and Walmart have done before with figures like Energon Megatron.

    If it makes you feel any better, I didn't find them at my usual go-to for new toys. And that would be the same Walmart I found cases of Concept BB's at in August.
    I'd imagine Walmart is for at least part of the day.
