This is pretty much what we see in RI. We've only got one tru in the whole small state, and one over the border in MA. All others are kind of a drive away. But they all restock the hell out of old figures. Still waiting for Prof. X wave!

i've only been to the one in warwick. it was pretty bad.

Yay, new MU figures at Meijer! Finally picked up Jubliee and Prof. X. Might go back for Blastaar. But for some reason, I have a feeling he will be shelfwarming soon enough (especially if they do the same thing with him that they did with Apocalypse).

Very nice. I actually saw 2 Nighthawks at a TRU here, was very surprise. Seeing a lot of the WCA shelf warm now, and I am not surprised by that.

So I was at one of my local Targets yesterday and I saw 15 Gladiator figures making up the entire MU stock the store had. I had seen them there many times before. Each time it made me a little up, but I did nothing. I don't know why but yesterday I had had enough. I took all 15 of those figures and brought them up to the customer service desk to complain once and for all. The lady at the desk had to call a manager, which I thought was dumb because the person dealing with complaints should be a manager in the first place I told them that too, but anyway I informed the manager that it was upsetting that the store had had nothing but full shelves of the same figure for months and they need to do something to change that. He told me that they could not order new stock until those were gone. I told him that nobody was buying them at full price. He told me that that was a corporate decision. I told him to tell corporate that people have complained. That was it and I don't know if anything will come of it, but if felt really good and I hopeful the Gladiators will be gone soon.

Nice set up. I like that it kinda looks like Sinister and Colossus are sharing a knowing glance that they are the same mold. What are you using as flight stands?

A piece of 2x4, thumb tacks, and a coat hanger.

What you do is, find a couple kids, teens, pay them $10 or pack of smokes lol, to go in to the toy isle, and rip the packages on them all and throw them around the store, problem solved, or set a small fire on the peg, lol, either that or.... buy them all at your store and return them to another store....

I'm actually surprised... MU Hawkeye was kinda HTF, so was comic WM... MU Mockingbird looks pretty darn decent for a repaint kitbash too IMO. I thought for sure the Inhumans 3 pack would pegwarm like the GoTG one since it is full of more obscure lesser known characters... guess I was wrong about that.

What sux is that my TRU and Target keep restocking the dumb Cap/Falcon & Surfer/Strange CPs and there are no new MU CPs on the horizon either. Finding new CPS were always easier than finding new MU singles for me... looks like those CP pegwarmers will be there for awhile.

[bmorr]

im just wondering what the hell is taking so long to see new figs on the shelf.

[ultraman zoffy]

In the time it's taking for anything new to hit the shelves, I'm managing to learn enough about customizing to just make some of the characters from these "phantom" MU waves myself. That's pretty sad.

[trebleshot]

Having now owned him for a day and a half, I find it hilarious that Xavier is more articulated than any of the Avengers figures. And Jubilee's ok, though the design of her knees is a little wonky.

Those 15 Gladiators hanging out at a lot of stores probably has something to do with it.

Well, you weren't alone. I figured I'd have to buy the WCA as soon as I saw it to make sure I got one. But I've seen it enough times that I'm starting to think I can wait until it goes on sale and pick it up then.

In my area, I've been seeing the Manadarin/SS IM pack mixed in with the two you mentioned. Only ever saw the Unmasked Juggernaut/Colossus and Wolverine/Hulk packs once each (and naturally assumed I'd be able to snag them at a later date ).

Preferably one that stopped carrying MU altogether. That way, you don't muck up the sales figures for the ones who are actually still carrying the line.

[bmorr]

Thats the thing though, Gladiators aren't peg-warming here. I have four targets near me, and theres only about six riga sitting on the pegs, and some with no figs whatsoever. Walmart's are the same. Little to no figs. Ive only got one store in the area that has been stocking them on a pretty frequent basis, but this seems to be a rare occurrence based on the very small number of sightings people post.

During last years fiasco, in what month did people start posting their sightings after the drought?

The WCA is 2 in a case with X-Men and Inhumans, so I'm not that surprised actually, and yes those exact CP's are peg warming like crazy. I guess it's a good thing they aren't bringing any more out? But then where is that so called Moon Knight/Ant Man 2 pack we were suppose to get?

Agreed, I was actually surprise to see a Nighthawk and a Jubilee the other day, especially since I'm in scalper land right now

Yup same here I see Gladiator everywhere by the boat loads. I still see the Juggs/Colossus 2 pack peg warm here.

[JanSolo]

We should get our stores in contact with one another. Clearly each has stock the other needs.

Sounds like a mission for you to buy them all up. Wait for a restock, then return a mixed sampling back to these stores.
