The "look at what i passed up" thread.

Not my game but saw the Team Fortress Red figures at TRU today.

Also saw a new Sonic The Hedgehog figure today. The Shadow Sir Lancelot had been around for a while but saw the new Excalibur Sonic today.

With Glow in the Dark sword!

Also saw the 2 new Monster High Roller Maze single figures. The Abbey is the same figure that was in the K-mart exclusive 2 pack from last year only in a single box and the Clawdeen figure is completely new.

I've been passing up pretty much the entire Retaliation line so far, aside from SE v2 and Colton. I might eventually pick up more, but there's too much good stuff coming out for Transformers right now that all my other collections are taking a back seat.

I'm so far behind on MU that it's nausea-inducing. Although, local distribution hasn't been very helpful on that score, either.

I saw (and passed on) both of those at a TJ Maxx a couple of days ago. While the designs looked cool, the toys looked kinda cheap.

Oh yeah. We've been getting reports on them for a couple of weeks now. And most of them have the same opinion as you regarding the line.

Yup totally agree with you on all what you said, I picked up the Joes when they first came out but then returned them later, total pass for me. MU distribution has been crap at the Brick stores, where as online seems to be getting them on a good basis, I'm really afraid that the movie line will push out all the regular MU's. Also the BH stuff is coming out fast via online as well, but Bricks as usual keep getting too much of the first wave...very sad especially when you have the bogo offers that really help make collecting affordable!

Phantomcrow · 03-06-2013, 07:59 PM

Passed on Blue Claptrap at TRU. I have the regular and don't see a reason to get Blue

Also saw the OZ: The Great and Powerful dolls at Target. They are from Jakks Pacific of all places?? They look alright for Barbie wannabes, great if you have a girl that likes witches.

I will say the China Girl looks pretty good, looks to have decent articulation and seems to be close to life size from the movie. Might creep out a few girls if you got this for them, or they might love you.

trebleshot · 03-08-2013, 10:32 AM

I can easily see CG creeping my girls out, so I definitely wouldn't get it for them. Although I do have a co-worker who is a huge Oz fangirl and might go for something like this (though she prefers WWW/Elphaba-related stuff).

AR88 · 03-10-2013, 09:31 PM

I passed on the TMNT ShellRaiser van last night since I dont really have the room for it right now.

Iceman · 03-26-2013, 05:39 PM

Saw these at Winners today. Thought it was funny because I remember when everyone was wanting these so bad now they are everywhere. They also had all the wave 2 (I think) Prime figures that never showed up at Canadian retail like Hot Shot and Knockout.

trebleshot · 03-27-2013, 05:28 AM

I'm still debating on getting a second one of him and maybe if it shows up at Marshall's/TJ Maxx, I might do it.

Iceman · 03-27-2013, 07:54 PM

it is a good figure. A UAV just makes sense for Soundwave. Wish the movies had done that.

Phantomcrow · 03-28-2013, 01:42 AM

These are kinda cool, but not for the price, OUCH!

salsa4datass · 03-28-2013, 06:21 AM

^ that's still $34.99 on lego.com, if you can find it in stock...

Totally agreed.

It doesn't hurt that Soundwave is my all-time favorite character. I have a whole display at my house devoted to just him (and his minions).

The bulk of that price is probably due to those four little letters in the big red box.

Easy pass for me. Not really into Minecraft and I can get my Lego fix via their Star Wars and Marvel offerings.

jestermon · 03-28-2013, 11:04 AM

Soundwave is at a TJMaxx here, I passed but then decided I wanted it, bought Beast Hunters Soundwave on sale at Target to get Ravage, so I hope I get back there he was $6.99, I picked up Sgt Kup and Runble instead to repaint man I should have got Soundwave instead the red is taking forever to go over the blue.

Passed up a Generations Insecticon because of bad paint now they are gone everywhere hope he is still there now.

Now I need to find someone that wants the Soundwave Beast Hunters figure.

trebleshot · 03-28-2013, 11:23 AM

I'll definitely be on the lookout for Soundwave at TJ Maxx, then.

Kickback is one-per-case currently. Maybe that will change in a future revision, but I'm not sure. So my suggestion is to snatch it up next time you see it.

Shadowninja · 04-01-2013, 05:45 PM

It is but it does have some slight modifications to it like the armor on the arms and leg areas.

Was in TRU and saw these boxes up high.

I got all excited because I thought they were Omega Supreme but then I looked the shelf.

Just a bunch of that crappy Optimus

Man your TRU is almost literally stocked to the wall, lol. Wish mine could be like that!

Haha dang, maybe they will get Omega soon let's hope? He's a very awesome figure.

trebleshot · 04-15-2013, 06:06 AM

Passed on Injustice Batman at my local TRU. I just can't justify $20 for it.

Also saw and passed on this TMNT vehicle:

Shockwave just happened to photo-bomb me at the last second. Then he blamed it on the Autobots.

Same here! We never even got the DOTM YOTD Optimus at mine, either.

Iceman · 04-15-2013, 07:45 PM

soundwavempl · 04-15-2013, 08:04 PM

Dang, how much are the DCU Batman 2packs? I have yet to see those anywhere (TRU or Ross)!

Iceman · 04-15-2013, 08:19 PM

$25 on clearance.

MegaPrime33 · 04-16-2013, 04:08 AM

I'm shocked your TRUs are not only stocked well, but actually fairly organized. No matter when I go to mine, it's a mess and sometimes nothing on the shelf.

bmorr · 04-16-2013, 06:33 AM

that tru looks better than most ive seen in the states.
