my Target finally caught up to everyone else
they got the Black Cat wave in
unfortunately that means all the waves in between this & wave 1 were skipped

With the upcoming Emma Frost figure the work is mainly already done. Just buy an extra one of those and swap an appropriate head onto it and paint the necessary parts white. Basic, but do-able.

You and me both. *sigh*

dude, do you have a magical monkey that craps Visions!?! loving the Hulk love Raf, I got the MS ultimate Hulk to display with my Ultimates...Really wish he had elbow joints. but the sculpt is one of my favorites. you really need to get some two pack/three pack action going. I know you try to stay single carded, but there are to many awesome figures in multi packs to let it go man.

That's a really well painted Mark 43 though.

Ninjinister · 04-02-2015, 02:17 AM

I saw the single carded Ultron at my LCS for $20 and I'd been waffling over him for months, forgetting to check how much he is going for online. I finally do and see he's normally $30+ loose, and I go back to get him, and he's gone! DAMMIT THIS KEEPS HAPPENING! It's like someone reads my mind about which one I'm intending to purchase.

I did finally get an AIM Soldier though so it's not a total loss.

I might have to temporarily dip outta the hobby for a bit anyway. Cancer meds are mad expensive.

ukmu · 04-02-2015, 05:49 AM

He is a VERY hot figure right now! He is moving like crazy on ebay and on all the trader boards on FaceBook. Hot hot hot.... MU speaking, probally the one figure everyone is scrambling to army build. With the red Secret Wars one as PRIME the green single carded one as the drones it would look GREAT to have 10 of the green ones in a display behind the red one! I am holding out for the gold one in wave 3 or 4 this year.

samsson37 · 04-02-2015, 06:33 AM

Does anyone know if five below has gotten Thor 2 figures in after seeing the sweet setup a page back using legolas head ...i wouldn't mind grabbing a few...but they are still like $14 on ebay....they don't excite me that much...as UKMU said...kit-kabashing can get pricey

Captain Nash · 04-02-2015, 07:00 AM

Was out last night and saw 2015 wave 1 at Target in Rivergate (nashville area). They did not have Bishop/Black Cat but had several Sandmans (Sandmen?) of both varieties as well as both Beasts. and the repacks/repaints as well of course.

It's nice to see this wave hitting "fairly" quickly, by that I mean within at least a month or two of general release.

My point being it sat there for months and suddenly flew away when I decided to get him... and it's not the first time this has happened at this place.

Thanks for posting the card back, Ukmu! I'll be getting a few on this wave but Northstar is the only one I really am looking forward to.

the Target in Murfreesboro had a fresh case out yesterday, and TRU is supposedly restocking this week as well.

Nice! You know when middle Tennessee is getting the wave that means it's gotta be out everywhere else already.

ukmu · 04-02-2015, 08:32 AM

^^^^ I found them in a tiny food shop in Northern England and a mate got some in grocery outlet in France....Hasbro seems to have fixed their distobution for THIS wave. Lets see if they keep it up though.

kylactus · 04-02-2015, 08:51 AM

yeah, but lets remember the first MI wave hit pretty good, then nothing for the rest of the year, until the last wave with Wonder Man and the Guardians. I hope we don't get into a routine of overstocking the first wave to the point that they don't re-order until the last wave. that would suck.

That's my fear too (even though I'm not too worried about it for me as I mainly order online anyways)

I never once saw wave 2 or 3 from 2014 in the stores until about a month or two ago I saw a single Death's Head. That obviously doesn't take into account any repacks that may have been left over from waves that came in, to be honest I don't even pay any attention to those and what wave they're in.

I've never seen a single one after wave 1 at retail. Every single time the stores restock it's a fresh case of wave 1.

terrymcginnis · 04-02-2015, 01:54 PM

lucky enough when i was in canada, we'd gotten every wave at retail, at least certain parts. even .ca has almost every figure in stock. ordered a few the other day....

but i'm pretty sure anybody in the US who saw death's head, witnessed it from him being repacked in the guardians wave 4 with the marvel now hulk. the area of NY i'm also from still hasn't gotten wave 1.... distribution better shape up!

Oh yeah, that's right he was repacked in that wave. See - I did say I don't even pay attention to repacks.
