Really surpirsed that BBTS can sell these before the street date. THe box has preprinted DO NOT put on shelf before 3-1-09.

There is another big red sticker stating production before 11-11-08.

Is this the date the new lead in toy laws changed? Not sure why this date would be important enough for Hasbro to put on sealed cases.

[scarecrow]

I can't believe that BBTS actually has this stuff at all yet. They always seem to ship a month or so after everyone else gets their items.

The street day is broken guys. Hasbro told retailers to let them loose today.

I just got back from a Walmart in Raynham, MA and they had the cases out on the floor, ready to be opened and put on display for the morning! They also had the XMO: Wolverine stuff in boxes too.

[sparkhunter]

that makes sense, I was in a TRU in wisconsin and found all the fury files, wolverine origins and wolverine xmen animated series figures. I got one of each leaving only a few that were doubles.

[Snowflakian]

Yeah, all stores in my area are sold out. None even had that big of a spot for them. Were they not expecting them to sell or something? Cause now that the street date doesn't exist I can't find squat anywhere.

Nice! They are in MA! I am planning an early trip tomorrow, myself

For the people finding them, is it just wave 1 or are they putting wave 2 out to.

[sparkhunter]

I only found wave 1

[Optimus Scourge]

I found only wave one today at TRU.

[scarecrow]

I got the Stealth Op Iron Man. He's awesome, though I was a little disappointed by lack of articulation in areas... Guess I should've read reviews! But I'm not disappointed by the investment at all

I was so tempted to get the gray/black Wolverine but at 8.44 at Wal Mart it was a little too much for my wallet right now.

[MADREVJACK]

so i live in Boston,MA and want these more than air. any suggestions on how to beat my other local collectors to the punch? Go to target or walmart?
8am when they open or 11am when they are stocked?

Walmart will most likely have them first. I'd just be patient, I don't think anyone really knows when Walmart stocks up, and in less than a month these figures will be flooding shelves.

[scarecrow]

Yeah patience will pay off I'm sure. This is the first time since the NIN album Year Zero that I've gotten anything earlier than most people... Both at Wal-Mart.

I'm sad there were no Wolverine Origins figs though

Checked TRU Framingham, MA they had Marvel and Wolverine stuff out

Also Wal Mart had them as well.

go early

[deceptifocus]

all the wal marts here have the same dates on the boxes but theyre on the shelf no problem

[MADREVJACK]

Thank you gentlemen. It's 7am and I'm on my way to Framingham.
I know I have a problem, but I'm sure I could stop buying figures if I wanted to...right???

[ZeoVGM]

Hey, I'd be doing the same thing. Except this weekend, my car started overheating, so I can only get to and from work up the street and not on the highway to go figure-hunting. : (

[Jangonate]

I'm over in NC and found a shelf full of wave 2 at the Walmart in Reidsville. Didn't know if you had heard this wave was out yet. I've found every figure of Wolverine and the X-Men, Wolverine Origins comic series, and Marvel Universe except for Bullseye, the one I've been super craving. Happy hunting to you guys.

[sparkhunter]

you found wave 2 origins and animated ? or wave 2 of fury files (marvel universe)

[MADREVJACK]

Hello Gentlemen.
Got there when the doors opened. scored everyone i wanted for a first string to fight with my joes. Brown suit wolverine, Gambit, Deadpool, ironman, and black panther. Let the others go by for various reasons, ie better versions are on the way. (I'm looking at you sabertooth with blob 2pack!)
Also grabbed the two new joe 5 packs!!! (my wife looked at them and said, why would you buy these? Don't you already have all these figures??? How to explain? Where to start???)
I think they are awesome...
