Hopefully I dont remember who posted this (sorry) but someone here said that the Ant Man/Moon Knight was pictured on the back of the Colossus/Juggy 2 Pack

@ peteparker, im so jealous of all that MU stuff at your walmart there. All the ones here barely try.

Peteparker · 07-25-2012, 10:43 AM

@bmorr, It's touch and go most times. Half of them don't carry MU at all, the ones who do have a hard time restocking new stuff.

Though it is nice when a place that didn't used to carry it starts again. It's like a secret for a month or two!

bmorr · 07-25-2012, 10:53 AM

so, it was a bust yet again waiting for the new MU to arrive at my comic shop. Bummer.

thenameiuse · 07-25-2012, 10:54 AM

I have not seen a restock of any MU, singles, comic packs or team packs in 4-6 months at the 2 TRU's, 3 Walmarts and 3 Targets I regularly hunt. The only new MU has been wave 1 of the TRU LOB's and the sentinels at two of the Walmarts. It is as if I am in a MU wasteland. Hell, the LCS stopped carrying them after the first year because it wasn't worth it because he made zero profit on them. It is miserable around here.

ChuckSass · 07-25-2012, 11:05 AM

I'm just curious, if everyone hates the Cap and Maria Hills that came with the Helicarrier then why keep them? Everyone should have known that Cap at least was gonna be a repaint, and Maria clearly has the Widow Body.

Peteparker · 07-25-2012, 11:08 AM

That's not good news. I was hoping that LCS would get new stuff today so that we'd see it at retail mid-August...

@Chuck, because you can't find them anywhere else. A terrible Maria is better than no Maria.

WalkingDeadpool · 07-25-2012, 11:17 AM

Just got Doom/spidey Cp.....No x-men pack though....

rustyrob · 07-25-2012, 11:24 AM

Does anyone have a recipe/idea for the perfect Modern Thor (not feeling the face sculpt) also Captain America (dont have the money to buy and experiment anymore)

pics would be great

On another note...BBTS is having a picture contest...Winner gets 500$ in store credit...Look at their FB page...Contest ends Aug 7th....

Magneto is my favorite Marvel character though,.. so you know how that goes.

I have the SHS Mags w/the Secret Wars headswap, and the Ult Mags where he apparently is a Native America, so I think I might need to waste some of my $ on a helmet-less version. I passed on Adam Warlock too, so it'll be somewhat unique in my collection.

Nexodusrex · 07-25-2012, 11:41 AM

dangit. I'm checking TRU every other day, and still no Spidey/Doom, Wolvie/Shulkie 2packs. those are the ones I really want.

Peteparker · 07-25-2012, 11:45 AM

They were spotted in Detroit in another forum, Nex. They're close! Any day now!

I just ask the TRU guys when the next truck is coming in, and wait to go until that day when they open. That usually works unless I can't go that day for some reason...

I am also on the hunt for that She Hulk pack. I'd buy her loose but don't have wolverine, although I want the Jim Lee Strike Team Wolverine.

Do I, but its cool I only need one of each, rather hook others up than go into debt..

jaybird7072 · 07-25-2012, 12:21 PM

Toysrus today..

LapuLapu · 07-25-2012, 12:24 PM

Went to 2 TRUs and no new CPs or the new MU wave but I did saw the X factor set and its better seeing it at hand , well I dunno if my judgement is biased since its been awhile since Ive seen anything new at retail and Im just excited at finding something new , unfortunately it was someone elses score and the person was just kind enough to let me hold it and look it and besides I have most of those figs and I'll just wait for single release Angel.

MGTAJ · 07-25-2012, 12:29 PM

If anyone could somehow snag me one of each comic pack I'd so appreciate it!

Well I'm in the same boat you are....He's my fav too...If the paint apps were better I probably would have got him.....And he does look like Mags with the repainted head...

Well, I do know they are getting a truck tomorrow, and I will be there for it! And I hope I walk with the new comic packs....as I am drunk with the need to find more NEW figures after the MOE set got to me

Targets are so hit or miss, and there are literally SO many around me, I couldnt possibly keep up with them all
