Saw these all over Target and K-mart this week. PASS.
I am not really with the whole De-Evolution of figures idea. Might be great for the kids to have less parts to break or loose, so I get the idea, but not my thing.






And then...this..........

[Shadowninja]

That darth maul is cool.

[Phantomcrow]

Maul would be cool if they make him in the 3-3/4 SW black line will full articulation.

Today, I just so happened to stop at a Wal-Mart that I infrequently visit because it's a good bit out of my way, and I was shocked to see these. AND they were $11 each ! Months ago, I saw Wolverine and Hyperion at Toys R Us, but that's all I had seen of the Hit Monkey Wave in my area. It makes me nauseous to think that I went home with an Ultron today (he was $7 at Ross) and that I passed on these In my defense though, I'm in need of an Ultron in my collection, while I have no interest whatsoever in Hyperion and Protector, even though they seemed to be really good figures.

Targets up here had tons of that wave. They recently cleared them out for $9. I got Hyperion and Red She-Hulk because they looked cool. Hit Monkey is fun.

His legs do come off easily if you move them too far but I've never had mine fall off when they are within the normal range of motion. Are yours just falling off randomly?

Yeah one of them comes off when you move the leg in any posing.

Targets and ToysRUs stores have been getting in the new waves of Transformer IDW deluxes. Targets in Houston seem to be restocking this week with the Armada Starscream/Autobot Scoop/Minicon Assault Team/WFC Skywarp wave. The only other Hasbro products I have noticed getting restocked lately are the Captain America and Spiderman ML figures (I have still yet to find a Black Cat though) as well as the new 4" Captain America 2 figures.

[bmorr]

yeah the stores here have yet to even see Rhinox, waspinator, or skids, much less Scoop. So behind.

[TheUncannyMike]

Sorry no pic. I was at TRU today and they had 2 of the original X-men 6inch Marvel Legends set for $89.99. Each box had some paint issues with a couple of the figures. Even with a perfect box of paint apps, that price is too much for me.

[Phantomcrow]

Saw the new TRU exclusive Monster High 2 pack.



And some new HALO Mega Blocks sets

[Iceman]

First time I've seen Cap Legends here. I'm not into army building Legends and I am selective in what I buy for 6" so I left them. At about $30 after tax I knew no one would want them for cost plus shipping. Don't know how TRU expects them to sell, but then again the Spidey stuff is the same price and all I ever see are Spider-Men. At least those are on sale for $20.




There were 4 Dark Elf figures in there but I'll wait for a sale and see if they are still around.

[Phantomcrow]

Saw the new Wal-Mart Exclusive Monster High doll of Operetta for the Frights. Camera, Action line. No real need of her for me.

[Phantomcrow]

Also saw a lot of new Lego at TRU and the Lego Store today for the Star Wars , Marvel, DC, and new Junior line.

just saw that han/chewie set in person and han actually looks great. just wish he had more articulation and a functional holster.

[Phantomcrow]

Yeah, the sculpts are not terrible, but the regression back to 5 point articulation is what will keep me from ever buying any of these.

[Frank Richards]

I didn't think to take a pic of them until I was already out of the store, but the TrU in my area seemed to have about 3 or 4 newly-arrived cases of Wave 1 of the 6" Star Wars Black figures. I was tempted to grab another Sandtrooper, but decided against it.

I'm curious to see if Hasbro is still shipping out earlier waves, because I know that there are plenty of people who would love another chance to snag Boba Fett, if Wave 2 begins to show up again.

My local TRU had this wave 1 refresh also. Maybe there going to finaly start shipping more product. I got a Fett finaly from target this past week.

[trebleshot]

Saw (and passed on) MLI Carnage and Beetle, as well as AIM Soldier and Hydra Agent. I was happy to see them, but still couldn't justify $20 each. I guess it's mostly due to my OCD, because if I buy one of either set, I will want to get the rest to finish the BAF. That notion/urge got me to buy a bunch of ML figures I didn't want back in the day.

[trebleshot]

At TRU:


At Walmart:


Also saw the latter at Target.

[Phantomcrow]

Saw the new Monster High Ghouls Alive at Wal Mart
