one WM employee in toy section last night told me the 6" Avengers have not arrived, but have been ordered. she said they'll drop during their next reset, most likely... and that they have been getting "a ton of calls" regarding the aforementioned.

as soon as she said they've been getting calls, that's when i knew it was over.

Your guys Walmart is the same as mine

Also didn't realize UP Spidey is a hard one to get, saw him once actually, next time I see him I'll grab it for someone. Although close up he didn't look too great, but def. articulated.

I have 2 still in my BST. I think he comes like 1 or 2 in a case. Hes only showing up in the Targets in my city. WM in my area didnt seem to order the case w/ UP spidey

Happened to me a few times... even after getting the idiots to scan the peg tags with their PDA's, which I'm convinced are retail's version of the Magic 8 Ball.

Numerous times I was told "a case is on order, but isn't enroute yet" then I stop by the next day and there's two IM sitting there. Another fool who scanned for me told me "we're getting our first shipment in on Wed" .. well, they had already gone through a few cases at that store, but his pda somehow told him otherwise.

This shit is so weird.. complete opposite by me. Walmarts got them, but no Targets.

In case anyone cares; this is what the display case that the UP Spidey & non-UP Lizard come in. This is a separate case from the original comic t-crotch wave.

NerfTW · 06-06-2012, 03:34 PM

So, with Tiger Shark announced, I went and checked the Marvel Fan's Choice poll from 2009. Of the 70 figures, it breaks down like so:

The winners:
Archangel
Mystique
Mary Jane
Winter Soldier
Havok

The runner ups and immediate releases (over the next few waves)
Constrictor
Iron Man 2020
Luke Cage
Multiple Man

And everyone else who came out in the last few years.
Gladiator
Captain Britain
Red Guardian
Starlord
Thunderbird
X-23

Total definite: 15

And these are the confirmed ones coming out in the future:
Karnak
Medusa
Tiger Shark
Paper Bag disguise Spider-man (Not sure about this one)

Ones that are iffy due to different costumes:
Drax
Snowbird (coming as a bird with Puck)
Psylocke (Student Uniform)
Storm (Student Uniform) (these two are pretty specific costumes)
Wonder Man (classic. The black shirt one came out instead)
Beast (classic. We're getting modern Beast)

Total including the iffy ones, 25
Total without: 19

That leaves a whopping 46 left. But it's good to still see a few coming out here and there.
