Damn, I been looking for those two sets to show up. Might have to hit the K-mart soon.

Passed on the Cap with Cycle, but it made me smile :-)

Also saw the Assassins Creed Walgreens exclusive in the Black and Red.

trebleshot · 10-25-2013, 06:32 AM

Both at TRU, in case you couldn't tell by the shelf tags.

This might make it to the "look what I just got" thread if it's still there in a few days. Metroplex for $79.99, not sure if it's the same as the SDCC one?

trebleshot · 10-26-2013, 02:56 PM

Where was that at?

I think they're basically the same, only the SDCC one comes with a second large gun.

The SDCC Metroplex also has chrome thighs and face and comes with some purple and red "decoys" too.

That price tag looks like Costco

Kernel · 10-26-2013, 05:05 PM

^ yep it was Costco. Sorry forgot to mention that. I hope nobody here paid a fortune for the sdcc one. I don't own many transformers but metroplex looks so cool I might have to snag him. Is he worth it?

trebleshot · 10-28-2013, 06:35 AM

At that price, definitely.

Plus, with the money you saved, you'll have some left over for the 3rd Party add-ons for him as well.

The re-launched Marvel Legends are typically a hassle to find in my area, so I was shocked to find this Jean Grey, along with a couple of those Scarlet Spider peg-warmers. I only passed on her because I ordered her from HasbroToyShop about a month ago, when she was still in stock.

Wow! That's a great price for Metroplex! I've seen him for about $120 or $130 at ToysRUs. There aren't any Costcos in my area, so I hope that one of those other "membership" stores, like Sam's Club, is going to carry him for that price.

Frank Richards · 11-04-2013, 04:13 PM

Even though they don't last long on the pegs, Marvel Universe figures are typically not too tough to find in my area. It's too bad that I'm not a big fan of the line. Here are some of the new ones that I spotted at Target today. Still no sign of Cloak, Dagger, Abomination, or A-Bomb anywhere though. Oh yeah, I also spotted a lone Elektra at TrU, but didn't take a pic.

You should hook an Arker up here!

Being relatively new here, I'm still learning the etiquette and rules when it comes to buying/selling/trading here at ToyArk, but since I've been so lucky with finding MU figures, I think I might start picking them up to help my fellow Arkers who aren't able to find them. Right now, my little bit of disposable income is reserved for SW Black figures, but as I'm shopping for those, I may (if my cash holds up) start picking up these newer MU figures.

Keeping in mind that I'm still somewhat of a newb here, forgive me if this is a dumb question, but if/when I'm able to snag these from Target, should I start my own B/S/T thread, or is there another way to display what I'm willing to part with? Either way, I'll PM you guys first since you were the first to ask

Frank Richards · 11-04-2013, 05:20 PM

Oh yeah, I wasn't sure if they were as highly sought after, so I didn't take pics, but I also saw a ton of Spideys (black costume, red/blue, and Iron Spider), as well as Iron Fist.

No worries, starting your own BST would be good, and then we fellow arker's can build your cred up by giving you great feedback

Without the fees as well:P

IMO those are PW, unless someone does need them...but those are from the older wave with paint touch ups, which actually is a bit intriguing.

yeah, each of us all here over the years have madeour own BST threads, and many members have "shops" in the BST section. considering your luck at retial, youd be wise to make one

aefranci · 11-04-2013, 10:08 PM

Which target?

Frank Richards · 11-05-2013, 12:25 AM

Cool, I think I'll get started on my own b/s/t pretty soon. Thanks for all the input, Exodus and bmorr

Oh cool, are you in the Savannah area too? If so, it was the Target on Abercorn; the one attached to the Savannah Mall. From my experience, it seems that once one Target gets the new MU figures, the other location gets them within the next few days, followed quickly by TrU and all the Wal-Marts. At least that's how it was when I first saw the Nova wave and the Blastaar wave. After the initial sighting, they were suddenly everywhere.

Masterless · 11-08-2013, 04:52 PM

I'm not sure if you guys are having a hard time with these new MUs, but I came across them unintentionally at a local Target. I no longer collect MUs fervently like I did in the past, but I know some of you are. Target seems to carry them as well so avoid the high prices in eBay if you can!

Iceman · 11-08-2013, 05:03 PM

Never pass up on a short-packed final wave of MU! Lol
