Got my Spiderman/MJ 2 pack in the mail today and I'm a bit irritated with myself. The butterfly joints on my Spiderman are stuck and I ended up scraping some paint off the left shoulder when I was trying to get the joint moving (which is still stuck). Fortunately Testors insignia red is a really close match for the red on the figure (almost identical) so it's mostly fixed now. Just need to go back and touch up the red around the web lines I had to repaint. Otherwise, I'm really happy with this set.

Dude, try not to shit on retail employees. He probably didn't have a written explanation for it on standby, nor did he have the time to give it. Were I in that employee's position, and had to explain on the spot like he did, I probably wouldn't have been able to give as good and thorough of an explanation as I gave here, where I had time to actually put together a good explanation for it.
You are there to help customers and when a customer comes up to you, you do the BEST of your ability to give them the help they need. So with that said, son of a fucking god damn bitch!!! I went back to TRU AGAIN and they got the 2 pack in this morning. The guy said they were gone in less than 20 minutes as there was a guy at the door waiting for them to open who bought them all.

Hrm, I wonder if the hwy 7 location got in some new stock since I checked the other day.... I live in the Olathe area so that and 95 St are the easiest for me to check. I think the east side one where PC found his generally has the best stock but I am not driving 40 minutes for a maybe. |

That is some BS right there man. Bet those went right up on ebay also. Sounds like you got some heavy scalpers there.

This looks badass, making me wish I had that head. I've always been dissatisfied with the default one.

They had a rule like that for the Evolution of Groot pack.

He probably would have just had a friend or relative come with him then.

For those looking for the Spidey/MJ 2-pack like Dr. Kain, the TRU item number is 158183. I called my local store last week and had them look it up. They had two left, but I only wanted one and asked them to hold it for me. TRU exclusives are still far easier to find than Wal-Mart, who I absolutely dread.
Good luck everyone! |

Still no look with Invisible Woman. My store didn't even get the shipment last week and it doesn't seem like any of the other nearby Walgreens' got any in either. Presumably because Black Ant and Daredevil are still clogging up the shelves.

Same situation here, same exact figure clog, with a few Namors thrown in. I'm not worried about the long term prospects of finding her, in my area eventually all the Walgreens stock their exclusives well, it just takes a little time, but when they show up they are around for 6 months or more. I just want to get her now.

Depends on the Store. My TRU holds stuff all the time.

A TRU employee told me she would hold half the Dr Strange wave for me when I was deciding whether I wanted plunk down that much on an impulse buy. I didn't take her up on the offer and just went ahead and bought the whole wave...my point being that there may be some flexibility to what you were told. Again, I'm friendly with them tho'....

My TRU will hold stuff but only for an hour.
@TBM Quick question about the colored lghts in your pictures. Does that come from a camera effects filter or do you use colored lights when taking photos? |

Edit: Yeah, the employee who told me she would hold the figs informed me that she could only get away with doing so for the remainder of the day. I figured (heh) there was no difference between that day and the next and purchased the wave on the spot... Last edited by TheBlueMarvel; 05-27-2017 at 12:12 PM.. |

@Tomax
Maybe that's how you feel. In my experience, it's the exact opposite of what you suggest. Maybe, it's a regional thing, or the truth lay somewhere between our perspectives? I was referring to my guerrilla photo style using low budget and low-tech tools...I don't have a spare $500-$2500 for a professional camera. |
