Im on my phone right now so sending you a pic is tough. You know the headpiece that classic Havok wears, right? It looks like those old school eggbeaters. Lol.

I have the classic Havok figure but its missing the headpiece. Based on ur skills, it should be easy for ya.

Walmart must be gearing up for the upcoming holiday aisle reset, as the one by me had a ton of stuff on clearance. Passed on cheap Thundercats figs, SWTF Class I toys and the remains of the DOTM line (including the exclusive Trilogy Prime).

Also saw both HFTD Walmart exclusive 2-packs from two years ago that were finally on a real clearance sale for $19 each. Still passed, as I own all four molds a couple times over already.

I could not, however, pass up on the Cyberverse Prime playsets for $13 a pop. Especially since they just got released a couple weeks ago.

You should post a pic of that in the TF Catch-All thread. I love fan-modes.

I also agree - aside from the size, FOC Shockwave is a great toy. I just wish they had taken this exact mold and made it voyager-sized. Then he'd be perfect, IMO.

EDIT: Also saw the Optimus Maximus playset at Target for about $45-50. Damn, that thing is bigger than the pictures let on. I'm tempted to get it, since it reminds me of the Go-Bots power suits from back in the day, but I will have to wait for a sale/clearance.

GR was the only one missing.

I'm glad variants are at least done though (reg IM and solid shield Steve on pegs). I'll appreciate getting a $15 BT Spidey and ramming it down the throat of the ToyArk member who called me a cheap skate for not giving him $40 + a MOC Avengers Black Widow for one.

Alchemist559 · 08-03-2012, 01:07 PM

I have no idea what people need outside of Marvel Universe, let me know if I passed on some good stuff guys.

Transformer stuff

TRU got a bunch of new stuff in, picked up a spidey/doom, left the other for someone else.

Hulkbusters everywhere!

These are new, look cool.

TheDub · 08-03-2012, 10:55 PM

I just joined the forum about....2 minutes ago? My birthday is this sunday (technically tomorrow) and to celebrate I will be going to just about every Walmart Target TRU and any other place I pass by to find some MU figs I'm missing. If anyone on this thread is from florida I can post anything I pass by. I've already found a few extra's of the double packs from the new wave. Anyone has any special requests I can keep an eye out as well. Just thought I'd offer.

Thats mighty nice of you, TheDub! Welcome to the Ark!

trowa195 · 08-04-2012, 06:20 AM

Awesome! You just saved me a trip to the MOPAC/183 Toys R Us LOL. I know those pegs like the back of my hand. Notice how they put the Marvel vs Capcom mini mates on a clearance peg... When you ask them why they ring up full price they say that it was a mistake and they are not supposed to be there- yet almost 2 months later they are STILL THERE.

The Spidey is tempting but it is probably gone now.

Boy, you's guys stores actually have product in them. WHenever I go anywhere, regardless if it's Target or TRU, everything is empty. I guess for my wallet that's a good thing.

Welcome to the Ark! Joining was the best/worst decision you've made about your hobby interest. Ive only been here a couple months and love the place. Great site with loads of information. Great people. I say worst because Ive never spent so much money in my life on toys as I have these past few months and ToyArk is all to blame.
