Ugh, big disappointment today.

My local toysrus has had the same variant Marvel Legends Black Widow/Winter Soldier 2-pack since it came out. I never bothered to pick it up because of a little mix of the price, it being the variant, and it was always there. Never moved. Everytime I go to this store. Always in the same spot.

Well after the other day's flourish of Black Widow/Winter Soldier pics, I finally decided to go take that sucker home. I go to toysrus and guess what I find... the entire row had been flipped on its head. There were a bunch of empty pegs, shopping carts filled with toys, and all of the usual figures were in new, obscure locations. The 2-pack was gone. The employee who was working on the row looked at me and asked if I needed any help.

I began explaining what I was looking for. I pointed to one of those 6in. Dc 2-packs and said, "You only had one. It looks alot like this, but instead of saying DC, it says Mar-"
"Marvel Legends", she finished my sentence. She finished my sentence. "I know exactly what you're talking about." "It has a man and woman in it..." I quickly interjectd. She began walking and said, "I moved it to clearance and I know exactly where I put it."

I was feeling so relieved as we walked to clearance. I instantly thought of the money I'd save for it being on clearance and having a $5 off coupon. Sue me, I'm frugal. Little did I know I'd be saving a whole lot more money altogether... "I put it right here," she said pointing to the clearance row endcap. We looked over it, but it was obvious that it was gone. She said she was sorry, and I thanked her for the help. I ended up picking up one of those Megablok Halo minifigures for a friend and left just a little disappointed. Hindsight and all that jazz.

sucks man..

did they happen to have any other 2 packs?

redfox · 08-14-2012, 11:18 PM

Nope. Just the lonely one.

SH0CKWAVE · 08-14-2012, 11:28 PM

that's shitty. sorry that happened to ya, dude. always scoop it up and save your receipt. feels a lot better than kicking rocks.

on a brighter note... this TRU can't give away blue Ghost Riders. shame since its such a bad ass figure. another shout out to mindmeldx for scooping one of these up for me a few weeks back.

redfox · 08-14-2012, 11:34 PM

Thanks, gonna have to remember that. Third time this month, I've hesitated and lost. Oh well, here's to tomorrow!

StaticShin27 · 08-15-2012, 08:16 AM

Wow, and I had to search all over for GR

Optimus Vader · 08-15-2012, 09:36 AM

I'm still not sure which Ghost Rider I want to keep (I have one red and one blue). The blue is definitely badass looking, but the red is more traditional to me. Decisions, Decisions.

jaybird7072 · 08-15-2012, 09:39 AM

Keep em both bro. I love both of my ghost riders

The red is more traditional true. But the blue is who he is now after surpressing the Evil inside him.

It's actually a chick at the moment. And she's orange. Johnny and Danny both aren't Ghost Riders currently.

Tiberius · 08-15-2012, 10:17 AM

I thought the chick died...

Does this have something to do with the movie (I haven't seen the second one) or this is routine comic stuff I should know?

I love the blue version... LOVE it. It's just that there's something that makes me always go back to thinking, "but Ghost Rider's flames are red/orange."

M3T4L V1KING · 08-15-2012, 11:05 AM

The thing I never liked about the Blue Version is the fact that you can't give him an already released Ghost Rider bike. I mean if you got the Danny Ketch one from series 3 you can paint it blue, but I don't wanna customize shit haha

It's what happened at the end of the 2nd movie.

Alejandra was just in the Venom book when he went to Hell. So if she's died since then it's news to me (well technically they all died in that book to stop Hell on earth)

behindthemask · 08-15-2012, 11:32 AM

I say keep both, if u want keep the red 1 moc and open the blue or vise versa or open both.

SH0CKWAVE · 08-15-2012, 11:35 AM

Anyone hear from zeldaman33 lately? I know he's going through tough times but he hasn't responded to my PMs since I sent him money for Spider-Hulk. I hope he's ok.

Can't do it. I can only own one Ghost Rider. I'll probably keep the blue one and sell the orange one.

Thanks. I still need to see it... even if it's for laughs.

Was wondering the same thing. He said that he was going to send things out this week.

Haven't heard from him or Big Hank. Neither have been on in a while and both normaly are everyday visitors. What worries me even more is I have emailed BH 4 days ago and no response. He has some customs he is supposed to send me but he's missing I hope everything is ok with both guys.
