ksteve08 · 08-09-2011, 12:25 PM

Picked up all three 3 packs today at a walmart in Ontario, and 2 Hydra Soldiers from Series 3 Captain America. Finally in Canada!!

Do Boy · 08-09-2011, 12:41 PM

Glad to hear the 3 packs are finally hitting retail.

They also put out signs that say they won't look in the back for "collectibles" anymore.

On my lunch break I called the same target and the guy said they just stocked mu and cap eave 3. Score on regular dr. strange, upside down scarlet spider, skaar and doom. Greenskar and I were thinking of army building dr doom for doombots and doing the same thing for ultron when he comes out. I'm stoked we picked these up on sale as well. I canceled my bbts preorder.

I even picked up a doc ock figure to customize the tenacles like my other custom movie doc ock but with the comic version.

On another note, I've been seeing a whole lot of Apocalypse and Thanos on the pegs lately. That's a good sign.

you get endcaps at your stores? like on the ends facing the electronics dept?
also, care to hook a bro up for a thanos? Ive only seen one once and it was 25 dollars.

Same in my area. Got my Jim Lee Cyclops, Cable, and two Scarlet Spiders. Both of my Scarlet Spiders have good QC, meaning their left leg doesn't fall off at the slightest touch.

Yes, the endcaps facing electronics. It's not usually specifically MU though. It was Captain America for Spider-Man and on one of the bottom shelves there's a cardboard display with a bunch of MU figures in it.

Yeah, if I see another Thanos I'll pick one up for ya and let you know. I usually don't just pick them up because I've been stuck with figures before and end up returning them. I made a deal with someone on here who totally flaked out and I ended up having to return the figures.

Shoot dang! I know where I'm goin' tomorrow!

3rd string cap villain. Shot captain america a couple times in the back with the help of caps brainwashed girlfriend, killing him in Cap #25...and then getting resurrected again. Might've been on the Thunderbolts I think.

All the info you'd need on Crossbones:

Wish I could make early morning toy runs other than the weekends or on days I had off.

If he can't find one, I think I can get you one. There were a couple of em at a store I went to last week, and as remote as that one is, I doubt they'll both be gone. I'm going there this afternoon to exhange something.

Thanks for the offer man, but Ludo already hooked me up.

On a different note, went to Target today, came back empty handed of course, but i did find a single carded Red Skull variant. Never seen it before. Color scheme matched that of the hydra soldier variants, except he had white gloves and tan boots. Oh, and they had a new wave in of DC classics, all priced ay 17 bucks, WTF.

Im still waiting for him to show up in Fear Itself, considering his girlfriend is one of the important characters in it. I would have laughed my ass off if he killed cap AGAIN instead of Sin.
