if you go back pick me up that omega red pleeease.

Since when has TRU had EXCLUSIVE versions of the 66 Batman? Have I just not noticed the TRU sticker and they come with a card??

Also saw both of the new Monster High playsets.

Had not seen Prowl in person yet, looks good. I thought it was just another Smokescreen at first.

That's from TRU? About time they got in a new case of TFPBH.

Found at TRU:

Found at Dollar Store:

Definitely not Logan from The Wolverine, but it might be the same Hulk as the $6 Avengers Assemble version. Hard to tell without them both side-by-side. And apologies for the blurry pic. If I had looked at it after taking it, I would have re-done it.

Pretty sure Wolverine is the same mold as the cheapo one we just got for the movie.

From what I can tell in person, the Dollar one looks shorter and thicker in the waist and legs than the one from the movie. But I honestly don't care enough to spend $11 just to get a side-by-side comparison.

(...and there's just something inherently wrong with the idea of returning something to the Dollar Store.)

Maybe if Pete Parker is still lurking around, he could provide a pic of them together. Wasn't he always buying up the Dollar figures as well as mainline MU?

EDIT: Forgot to add stuff I saw and passed on this weekend:

Since it is the Holidays I am finding myself at Target more often than not. I will do what I can but the last couple of times it has only been Iron Fist, Iron Spider, Colossus, and the new Iron Man(wow, all Irons! Isn't that a stark irony!)

Lol! A couple of years ago I wouldn't have.

I think he was buying everything with the MU branding. I assume he's just been too busy to stop by here for a while.

Penguino · 11-26-2013, 05:23 AM

This thread is painful...

I would love to have a TRU that is stocking new GI-Joes and the new 6 Inch Boba, Han, and Greedo.

Not to mention that TF Prowl I've been looking all over for.

I haven't seen anything worth nothing in a long time. Starting to resort to just ordering online again...

I know how you feel.
I just now finally saw MU Rhino at TRU, still no Robocop, keep seeing only the new MU Ironman in targets with none of the others, and still can't find a TF:P BH Prowl.

On the flipside though, I did just find first edition Prime Cliffjumper finally. So I guess that's a win.

Same here. Took 2.5 years to do it, but I finally completed my deluxe FE collection

Saw these at TRU, Family Guy K'nex

salsa4datass · 11-29-2013, 05:22 PM

^ nice. now I need get those for my son...

Phantomcrow · 12-05-2013, 06:17 PM

I found some of the new Monster High: Frights, Camera, Action line.
Also saw the Art Class line, but passed on them.

Saw the playset at TRU and the regular dolls at Gordmans. I am really only wanting the 4 new characters so I passed on all of this.

Stewie's time machine is tempting. I might have to bite on that one. Not sure since I do already have the Tardis. Wonder how big it is though, cause if it can fit the tardis inside, I just might have to so I can have a time machine within a time machine.

JustryGT · 12-05-2013, 08:14 PM

tonight at Target was the Prof. X wave with translucent hands version of Blastar. It was great to see this wave for the first time. I don't think it was lost in the back room because I search the MU dpci code often and it always shows "in stock room - NO".

Iceman · 12-05-2013, 10:06 PM

I've heard of a few people finding Professor X wave recently. My guess is Hasbro had more laying around somewhere.

Agreed. I have plenty in my tradelist. Let's set up THE PROVOST APPROVAL. But seriously, I gotta have that Solomon Grundy.
