Most likely we'll probably get a few other redecos/remolds (such as Skyquake or maybe a few Starscream clones a la Thundercracker and Skywarp). I'm also hoping Hardshell/Insecticon gets a voyager release, due to scale.

Hopefully, more will be announced/shown at SDCC (but it might just be a re-tread of Botcon).

Cool, the Prime line is the only one I will complete as a figure collector, so far I have all the Hasbro ones RID and FE. As much as Marvel is my first, I want every MU character which is great on the wallet.

bmorr · 06-01-2012, 11:38 AM

hah, walmarts here barely stock any 6 inchers here anymore since the six inch IM2 figs sold terribly. We never even saw the Nick Fury Wave of figs. I was lucky to even see cap and thor. Im going back to that same store tommorrow so hopefully theyll restock.

scottmurdock · 06-01-2012, 02:45 PM

Nada on the toy front...my wife went toy-hunting (yup, she rules), 4 Wallys and 2 Targeys (in a 40 mile radius) and nothing...though I did pass my engineer license exam! w00t!

bmorr · 06-01-2012, 03:14 PM

Hulk182 · 06-01-2012, 03:14 PM

Went out to see if i could find any walmart avengers exclusives especially Hulk and Thor. But nothing! Are California walmarts not carrying them, all i see at two walmarts i went to were a small section of avengers mostly hulk hands and mask, small section of batman, and decent section of spidey.

Went to Toys r us and found Robocop and went to Target and found another Bane the movie cash will come in handy. Going to give the other Bane i found to my buddy. Also at Target found a ultra poseable spiderman but i dunno for $10 felt really cheap, do the feet have magnets? why are they grey... Im just going to pre order a diamond select spidey.

anywho heres what i hauled in today...

Question, is the black or the blue Cobra Commander from Retaliation wave the variant?

Helix326 · 06-01-2012, 04:09 PM

My story for those who haven't read yet.

I feel that the geography of my state and the geography of the Walmarts has helped me immensely in my search for these figures as well as frustrate and puzzle me. I have been constantly checking the Walmart in my area. There are three Walmarts in my town all within 10-15 minutes from my apartment. One of them is right next to a distribution center. I have been searching for weeks on end for these figures. Approximately 2 and half weeks before May 28th. (The mod for the new Toys that included Dark Knight Rises and the Amazing Spider-Man figures.)

My fiance and I went to run errands in another town on Wednesday evening (May 30th) an hour and half away. After running our errands we stopped over at the nearest Walmart in that town. I went to the toy section. Nothing. The same stuff that is at my three Walmarts. Not even pegs for the 6 inch Avengers line. Stopped a nice associate and asked all the questions I could about the 6 inch Avengers figures. Gave her UPC codes, codes that appeared on a picture of a peg I saw on another site (The Fwoosh). They had one on hand. We went looking for it. Could not find it. We looked all over. I asked her to type it in once more and now the vectorscanner didn't list anything. I thank her for all her help. I began to walk away but I thought to myself, is the "1 on hand"= 1 box on hand? Hope was still there. I found the associate once more and then asked. I showed her a pic of the box and the figures inside. She went in the back to look for it. She came back...EMPTYHANDED.

I thanked her once more and like her I was empty handed. Hope was lost until the next morning

I woke up May 31st (Yesterday) and browsed on eBay for the nearest listing for these 6 inch Avengers figure and there was a listing of a Cap in another town. Luckily my fiance and I would be visiting that very town. Yes, back back to back errands but such is the life I have now. That town is about 15 minutes away from the town we did our first run errands on May 30th.

Yesterday evening (May 31st) we drove into the second town earlier than scheduled. Around 7pm. We stopped into the Walmart The Walmart has tons of figures. Tons! Three Hulks! I wish I took pics with my phone but I was so excited. I picked up Cap and Hawkeye. Came to a total of $33.55 I wish I could have picked up Hulk for you Arkers but I ended up dipping into my figure budget because my fiance forgot her purse the first night of doing errands (May 30th) and I bought her a swimsuit at the mall and had to pay for gas. I'll be returning to the same town Saturday (tomorrow) for more errands. So I'll stop by and pick up more if anyone needs any figures. I'll be getting more money before the weekend! If anyone needs any figs PM me and I'll send the figures over. Won't be asking for gas money since I'll have to be the second town already. I'm sure the figures will still be there. There were tons. TONS!

Unfortunately, I went to check again today at my three Walmarts and there was still nothing. Nothing. No 6 inch Avengers figures, only Dark Knight Rises figures, and Amazing Spider-Man figures. I would like to get a 6 inch Amazing Spider-Man figure but that's kind of iffy. I'm excited for the film but I don't know about getting a new Spider-Man figure if I can go ahead and find the original film series figures through trades.

I will be resuming my customs once I get my hands on Thor through trade or purchase here or retail and starting unpacking all my figures after the move. If the Walmart I went to has any Hawkeyes left I will pick him up. Going to need an extra for custom.

Don't give up the search! I almost did! Be resourceful Arkers! Don't be afraid to ask for help. Most importantly, think!

Why is the blue Cobra Commander so important? Do people really need him?

bmorr · 06-01-2012, 04:13 PM

maybe in a better economy it wouldnt have to be this way....it shouldnt have to be this difficult to buy toys.

scottmurdock · 06-01-2012, 04:23 PM

@bmorr and exodus - Thanks gentlemen! I broke down and got a 3.75" scale Walmart Tumbler...not too shabby!

Salsa Verde · 06-01-2012, 04:27 PM

Today was a great day to be at Target:

And the "crown jewels" of today's haul...

I work at Target part-time stocking shelves, and the very last department to be stocked was toys. The box I picked up just came off the truck and when I opened it? I saw a couple of Hulks, a few Loki's, 2 comic Skrulls, 2 movie Hawk-eyes, and ONE movie Black Widow. 35 minutes later I was done my shift, punched out, and after using my employee discount? Had a Hawk-Eye and a Black Widow along with the other goodies you see above

Sometimes, it pays to work in retail lol Good luck to anyone hunting Black Widow - so far she's one to a case.

Jackieboy · 06-01-2012, 04:33 PM

I really think each Walmart at different states differ, mine suck even Scott's seem to have nothing, but others gold mine.

Unsure? But since there won't be any more stock on the figures until next year, I'm sure collector's are trying to get both. The blue one should be in full force next year though when the figures do come back out again.

wolverine2281 · 06-01-2012, 07:12 PM

Didn't hunt today but the hunting came to me.

$5 Cheadle came in today. Only ordered on 5/24. Not too shabby.
Got my case of Joes from HTS today and they hooked it up! I got the Blue Cobra Commander I was missing, although it came with a Blue Joe Trooper which I already have, and it came with the Glossy neck running change (original?) Red Ninja which I didn't have (have the matte one). PLUS they threw in a Star Wars fighter pod (already have the one they sent, but nice of them anyway) AND an exclusive (I'm assuming until I use it) 15% off coupon to use until July 1! If I'm lucky I'll get another with my ninja sets in a few days.

LORD MARVEL · 06-01-2012, 07:50 PM

FancyPants · 06-01-2012, 08:28 PM

I still havent got my Cheadle yet and I ordered almost two weeks ago. Also, I know the black Cobra Commander is the variant but it seems like the blue one is more sought after?

Mastersteef · 06-01-2012, 08:34 PM

Got MM Alfred for $12 at K-mart (all the Dark Knight toys were marked down?)

Joe Trooper from the Retaliation line and another Red Ninja from Target.

Young Justice Robin for $6.28 (they had 4 Robins, 3 Aqualads) at Target.

I'm gonna take some pics later and post em tomorrow morning probably.

The blue is rarer, correct.

conan050 · 06-01-2012, 08:38 PM

Well what the hell I've seen the blue one plenty of times but never picked him up cause I thought he was the regular one. I did pick up the black CC and a red Ninja if anyone wants to trade them for two new Avengers Skrulls.

KingLouie731 · 06-02-2012, 01:55 AM

Lets see I got an Avengers Thor & Loki, 2 Aqualads, 1 Robin both from the YJ line, a random fiersest foes spiderman figure for 3 on clearance, Megatron with tank alt mode legends class, a Vehicon legion class, and the snap on rocket Spiderman also on clearance, and a couple of other iron men walmart still had on clearance to round out the armory.

Thor, Loki, and the Vehicon of which I have two are for sale/trade
