I hit two Targets, two Wal-Marts, and a Toys-R-Us today and found nothing new. The newest figure was a lone Kang. I lost count of how many Gladiators I saw warming the pegs.

I need a Professor X from the last wave, Nova, Hercules, Angel, and Puck from this wave, and the West Coast Avengers box. That's about $75 in retail sales these stores are missing out on because something is broken in the distribution / stocking system. Needless to say I'm frustrated.

Swung by Walmart on my way home and found Professor X and Jubilee, they also had a Psylocke and a FF Spiderman that I haven't seen there before. No sign of wave 20 or any new 3 packs though.

I read that George St Pierre has been casted to play Batroc the Leaper in Captain America 2. I would hope this means a figure but if it looks like one of those Wolverine 2 figures, forget about it.

wylde bil · 03-27-2013, 06:04 AM

i havent seen wave 20 or 21, last week i got scarlet witch was the last i wanted from 19 (i was hoping for a she-hulk FF variant, but alas they didnt make one)

19 and 15 where the only waves i wanted almost the whole wave

whats up with the unequaled wave numbers

wave 1 was like 8 and they constantly slide back and forth, then wave 21 hit and its just 3 really 3. it cant be lack of sales i barely find them on the shelf no clue what they are doing
sorry bout the rant im a tad frustrated

wylde bil · 03-27-2013, 07:13 AM

I totally agree with you there! That's why we keep seeing older figures out there...

They have so often actually, but not at dirt cheap prices. They have more deals on the TF's then Marvel. The 2 packs peg warm like crazy.

quinten182 · 03-27-2013, 11:53 AM

Pleaseeeeee post not only the store you found new figures at, but your city and state? (Or just update it in your profile like mine says on the side!) This helps us have an idea about distribution nationally. It'd help a ton on my decisions when to hit up stores and which ones!

Haha, I understand. I have about 8 total shelves and they used to all be perfect poses. After having a kid last year I realized.. they're opened.. they're going to get played with someday for sure now.. I don't care as much any more about them being perfect! So I started setting up battle scenes instead. Makes it way more fun! Until they get super cluttered like that shelf. ><

Thank you. Anyone in the Philly area find the last 2 waves in a store besides the comic book shops?

I just only became aware of the Black Panther for that TRU Avengers line. I picked up the Black Widow a while ago because I missed out on the MU sc version. Now I want that Black Panther as well. I might as well get one more from that line so I have three of those awesome Star Trek transporter bases.

if you can get this guy jan,then grab him as soon as you can.
my LCS got a bunch of TRU exclusives from the states along with other stuff,but i hear this version is different to the 2-pack version,i wonder if any one can be kind enough to take a comparison shot for me.
