After not having any MU since the Darkhawk wave I went to my Disney Store and they suddenly had a bunch of Nighthawks, Hercules, Hulks & Spideys... no Pucks, Novas or Angels... I don't think someone just bought up all the Novas and Angels either, they were just not there for some reason... and who would buy all the Pucks anyway... so weird. Nice to see MU there again though.

The walmart near me still has silver centurion peg warming. and when you ask when theyre ordering more they always have the same bs response "two weeks" its been two years!!!! I loath them...

[Symbiote]

Check out this target. Never have I seen so many gladiators.

Sometimes I wish we had peg warmers. People complain about no new MU but at least you have stores that still carry MU. My Nearest TRU hasn't restocked in over a year and all they had forever was one Iron Fist, which is gone now. None of the Walmarts are carrying MU and the last new stuff I saw was wave 17 at the end of 2011. All these places got tons of ML wave 1 and 2 as well as Avengers stuff, not to mention the Ultimate Spidey figures and IM3. For some reason no one wants to put MU on the shelf anymore.

I'm more concerned with the price tag, holy shit. $11.29? These toys aren't even close to affordable for kids, that is so fucked up.

Wonder Frank powers active! Form of...

Was able to get a broken Punisher for cheap. Glad to finally have a fully functional Punisher.

Yup my walmarts no longer carry mu. It seems that they are only focusing on movie lines. They as also do carry a few ML though.

Forreals. This was in emeryville oakland. Soo expensive and too much gladiators.

@iceman: yeah I got a broken nova and scarlet witch from bmorr for custom work. I felt bad for him that it happened. Something about the recent mu stuff is fragile. Definitely not for kids.

I think they just used a batch of cheap plastic on a peg that needs a higher quality blend. And the shoulder joint doesn't move freely enough.

At least you guys have Targets still carrying them. I hope Target carries MU when they open up here in 9 months or so.

Indeed that's pretty much what it's like here. There's a WM about 20 mins away that still carries them but last time it only had the Dr. Strange wave. Would have gotten one but if I'm paying 9.99 plus tax then I'd like one without messed up eyes and sloppy paint.

The Super Walmart by me hasn't had proper MU figures in months other than Guardians of the Galaxy packs that have been on "clearance" (I don't really see how $18 is much of a clearance price) since before Christmas I think at least ten of them still. The other Walmart has been just one or two peg warmers ( stuff like Iron Spider-Man and some comic packs) it's been really disappointing. Today however at that second Walmart right when I was about to leave the aisle I spotted Angel tucked under some other line of toys on the bottom shelf. I'm sure someone hid it there for themselves, but too bad for them right? It almost makes me think it might be however is taking all the good MUs that come to town, if there are any coming in the first place. Either way glad I have Angel now, I just wish they had used a new upper body for the figure, because those new thighs don't fit the best in the old hips. Paints a bit sloppy on the legs too, but beggers can't be chosers.

Fresh out of the box.

That looks about right, except the price is still $9.99 at my Targets.

I'm down to three stores that still carry MU, from ten when the line debuted. All of which looked like Symbiote's pic until recently. One of those three is now hosting a Falcon cosplay convention.

Honestly, I'm not sure which is worse - not seeing any MU on the pegs, or seeing a ton of them but they're all older figures that I already own.

Midwest update of stock:

Walmarts: Half carry NO MU, other half actually all got shipments of tons of the Betaray Bill, Beast, new Hulk, etc. wave. This sucks because now they won't order anything new for 8½ years. 3-packs consist of 50 GoG.

Targets: Most have fully stocked Gladiators as in the picture of someone else's above! One also just got the entire wave of the walmart mentioning above. 3-packs consist of the new Red Hulk pack and the clear Invisible Woman pack, so that's something!

Both are loaded up on 2-packs though. I think I can find any 2-pack currently.. impressive, but nothing I want..

[shortysben]

This is the case in va as well quinten ^^^

[kostej]

Guys, do you want to cheer up a little? Just for comparison, do you want to know what figures can we buy in Czech republic right now?

[bmorr]

where i am there is no consistrent pegwarmer. One store will be full of gladiators, the next, will have remnants of wave 17, another will have pegwamring she hulk and punisher.

[JanSolo]

It really makes you wonder who ordered those shipments.

"Yes send me eighty cases of that pointy eared, purple skinned, Superman with a mohawk. Those will sell like hotcakes."

Back then, I honestly thought he'd be in demand by collectors for being such an obscure character. Boy was I wrong.

[MGTAJ]

Number of stores that carry MU outwith the local comic book store- 0. Ebay and online retailers are the best available for me. I'd love to see MU on shelves nevermind clearanced
