None of my Walmarts carried the Iron Man/Megaman Gamerverse 2 pack and my Target had to clearance out almost their entire stock of the Iron Man/Megaman 2 pack... so I'm thinking they will not order too many of the new Gamerverse 2 packs... it they do at all. I still think Gamestop will eventually be your best bet to find them. IMO they really should have picked 2 better figures for that first 2 pack than Iron Man and Megaman.

Simply...OUTSTANDING!

That set was exclusive to Target. These new ones are not exclusives.
My Target also had the IM/MM set on clearance but they took them off clearance later.

Gamestop is still listing the Spiderman pack as exclusive. If someone finds it elsewhere, please post details.

Target was probably counting on Ironman being big at the time. Collectors probably went "I already have that version, and who is that other figure anyway?" Executives are not toy collectors and are not qualified to anticipate or judge what collectors will or will not buy. Basically Hasbro suckered Target. (A conspiracy theorist might think Dwight was behind that.)

I found mr negative/spidey 2 pack at GameSLop, only one they had so these things are selling tast. The GameSLop employee said it was an exclusive so who knows. The calf swivel has a big gap on my spidey, I’m gonna have to figure out how to fix that. I also can’t seem to get the vest on mr negative closed... dealing with these quality issues is starting to get annoying

The first retail sightings posted a few pages back, was that all 3 packs were being found at Meijer stores.

See Kernel's post. Gamestop is saying this. I am just reporting that they are saying it. Information like this is important to those still looking for the item, and if it can be firmly discredited, then by all means do so.

BTW, I got a print out from another Gamestop of stores in my area with stock. It is a long list.

It's been discredited in this thread and over at Hisstank that the packs are being found at Meijer for $19.99. Gamestop said it with a few things-these packs, 6inch Back In Black Deadpool, 12inch Weapon X Deadpool, The Rainbow Deadpool 6 pack, and they've all ended up at other retailers.

GameStop is known for some shady practices. At one point the slimey upper management was advising employees to remove free game service coupons from deus ex so they could charge their customers for it.. most of the employees I have talked to are pretty cool but some of the managers seem like straight up turds on a Dwight stall level...

Me too. The guy I usually deal with at my store is cool. He said the warehouse treats release dates like suggestions. The manager seems cool too but I have only dealt with him once.

Ex-employee, can confirm.

MeLikeJinx · 09-23-2018, 11:04 PM

The more places the better! I hope these sell well so we can get another wave of 2 packs. I mean not including IM and Mega Man... 5 out of the 6 new figs we got are pretty cool IMO... with only Black Widow being kinda meh. Quality control also kinda sux, but if Gamerverse 2 packs are the only way MU can live on... I will take it.

In other words, they want people to lie about them because they can't handle the truth. ( That sounds familiar.) If you don't want the truth, don't ask for it.

Just wanted to get that off of my chest.

Same here, I just got the review email. They asked for my review of the 2 Spider-Man/Mr Negative packs I ordered. I said I couldn't give an honest review because what I had ordered, isn't what I received. But the 2 Widow/Ryu sets I did receive were good. They said My review couldn't be published because it didn't meet their standards.

Gamer verse packs are hitting Target. Some found them on the pegs, some had to have them brought out from the back.
