Saw a bunch of new stuff. Mostly at Target with the new mod set getting put up in stores.

Phantomcrow · 08-08-2013, 10:16 AM

Saw these at TRU. Almost bought these Power Rangers but already spent to much this week.

First time ever seeing these Stargate block builders in store at Target.

Also at Target, Zombie Gametype Halo Mega Blocks and some new vehicles sets.

Target also had the series 2 of the Kreo Combiners

Phantomcrow · 08-14-2013, 08:55 PM

Well they just keep getting more and more Halo Mega Blocks made. I love how despite there being COMPLETELY NO new Halo game right now that does not stop these from getting out in bulk.

And exclusives too.

Phantomcrow · 08-14-2013, 08:56 PM

Also saw the Trek Kreo Vengeance ship

Phantomcrow · 08-14-2013, 09:00 PM

Found the new retro TMNT figure at TRU as well. They had all 6. Of course Splinter and Shredder seemed to be short, but there may have been 2 of each and 2 cases worth. Also saw more if the big TMNT classics restocked at 2 different TRU. They seemed like all turtles restock, no sign of BB or RS.

Phantomcrow · 08-14-2013, 09:05 PM

Found the new Batman 66 Classic TV series line at TRU. No jokers in sight at 2 stores, but did find the Batmobile and the 2-pack. I really don't like the darkening of the legs on Robin.

Phantomcrow · 08-20-2013, 10:05 AM

Saw the Monster High Music Festival 2 pack at Kmart. I know some people have been looking for some of the boy dolls but I did not need the set myself.

trebleshot · 08-20-2013, 11:26 AM

Saw the vintage TMNT figures at TRU, along with MP Acid Storm and Soundwave. I would have bought both of the MPs, but lacked the funds at the moment. Not that I'm all that upset, since I already own the US release of Thundercracker and the TT version of MP Soundwave (and all 5 cassettes). So I have all the molds already and technically don't "need" the duplicates.

And at my Target, I saw the first wave of SW Black Series (both 3.75" and 6" figures). Almost bought the 3.75" Vader for the accessories and the "old school" look of his cape. Definite pass on the rest of the 3.75" figures. And I would have bought the only X-Wing Pilot Luke they had if the paint apps on his hair weren't so spotty (he looked like he was going bald).

Also saw some of the Predacons Rising exclusives. Does everyone have the multilingual packaging on theirs? I thought it was kind of weird, then I remembered that Target is expanding into Canada and Hasbro is probably using multilingual packaging for those exclusives as a cost-savings measure.

bmorr · 08-20-2013, 11:46 AM

on anyones toyhunts has anyone spotted the die cast star trek line(vengeance, BoP, Excelsior)

M3T4L V1KING · 08-20-2013, 10:51 PM

I'm sure this one doesn't bother people a whole lot, but I look back on it now and I'm choked.

I collect WWE figures, and I'm really on the hunt for an Ultimate Warrior figure. About what I believe was a year ago, I passed on a Defining Moments Ultimate Warrior that was on clearance for $10. So choked now.

PROVOST · 08-22-2013, 04:56 AM

trebleshot · 08-22-2013, 08:06 AM

Clearance, already?!

...uh, for how much?

What's the retail price on the Batmobile? I found the same Classic TV Batman stuff you did except the Batmobile.

Batmobile was 60$, but with everything at TRU never trust the price to stay there :-/

trebleshot · 08-23-2013, 12:48 PM

Sorry for the blurry pic, but wave 4 of Beast Hunters finally hit my area:

BH Arcee is not in the pic because I bought the only one there. Also found Generations Legends/Legion Megatron w/Chop Shop. Not bad, and Chop Shop is adorable.

Phantomcrow · 08-23-2013, 08:14 PM

Finally saw these in person and the Grimlock with metallic gold looks NICE. and the Bruticus I really want, but I have the regular ones and can't spend the money on new ones just for the colors.

Nice looking set that Grimy vs Brut set!!!!

Phantomcrow · 08-29-2013, 04:12 PM

Saw Non Lego sets for Scooby Doo. Kinda want the Mystery Machine.

trebleshot · 08-30-2013, 05:34 AM

I wouldn't mind getting one, either. But I'm a little surprised to see Fred there instead of Shaggy. I realize that in the original series it was Fred's van and he was usually the one driving, but Shaggy drove it a lot too. And to be honest, I'm surprised the license for this set didn't go to Lego or MegaBloks, since Warner Bros. already does business with both companies.

Phantomcrow · 09-03-2013, 10:27 AM

This was the only set with Fred. Velma and Daphne are only in blind bags and Shaggy and Scooby are with almost every other set. There is an airplane set, and pirate ship set and a couple others and the all come with Shag and Scoob. If they make the Carnival Robot or The Spooky Space Kook, I will break and get them.

Phantomcrow · 09-03-2013, 10:31 AM

I saw these Sam's Club exclusive sets. I just do not get the appeal of these shows. They are just not my bag. But man I want some of their gear to make a killer GI JOE DREADNOK display :-) I mean come on, BONUS EXTRA GATORS, how can I not want this for the Dreadnoks!!

Rexplode · 09-03-2013, 01:11 PM

Those are killer Phantomcrow, any idea what they were asking for them?

I want to say 30$or 40$ but I do not know for sure. I did not look that close.

I guess there are NON Sam's Club sets also. I am guessing Wal Mart, that is where the single carded figures are at.
