Yeah I'm not a completionist, just trying to get the figures that mattered to me growing up. Although darkhawk looks kinda cool, he means nothing to me sentimentally, so I don't feel the need to have him

Veronica Mars · 10-08-2011, 08:23 PM

Look at what i found at Target today

All I need now are Darkhawk, Capt Rogers and Ulton. Strangely enough Target had two ultrons but they both rang up as salvage and they wouldn't sell them to me

hankfrank · 10-08-2011, 09:02 PM

found X23, Darkhawk, Namor, Cap Rogers and Ultron today @ my local Target. For some reason Ultron and Rogers were both marked with red "as is" tags @ $2.59. After some convincing, they sold them to me at that price, so....SCORE! so pumped! New line complete with half at bargain price.

D00MTR0N · 10-08-2011, 09:09 PM

Yeah, me too- that's why I'm skipping everything in this wave except for Wolverine.

Though Magneto is pretty funny in his "drag-queen AIM uniform".

Right, some of the Darkhawk figures are packaged with one of the claws broken off. Be wary!

That sucks! I call shinannigans! Some Target member had their eyes on them and marked them salvage during inventory...

Do Boy · 10-08-2011, 09:40 PM

What does marked as salvage mean?

anyways!

the good news, i got them to order cases of MU and they let me get first dibbs on every new wave. my pointless hunting and disappointment has ended! i just got back from picking up all of wave 16 =D

Nice! I just got my LCS to order the next wave as well, but their prices are sucky, like $15 a figure, and I only get 10% off.

So I've tried to get my LCS to order MU about 5 months ago, and the guy (who is really cool, but clearly bi-polar) was very adamant that it would be too complicated and not worth his time. Well obviously it isn't that hard to do, and this kind of annoys me because I've spent alot of money in his store. Oh well.

Yea, I've been over the ordering system for the MU characters, the customer can put in an order for only one figure through Diamond's ordering system, at around $13, and it forces the store to order an entire $98 case just to get the one. Most LCS's probably won't let that happen.

I saw the original Havoc at a LCS here in town for $15, and I traded a different one straight up for my Marvel Select Juggernaut for the same Havoc figure.

Tiberius · 10-08-2011, 10:06 PM

You should uhhh get me that classic havok! Anywho, I talked my girlfriend into buying herself a Commander Steve Rogers figure. Sure enough, she listened [yay] so now she has one of the best MU figures to date! I had to fiddle with him and take pictures, of course.
