There are a good amount of easy to come by figures but it's a line that would be a little frustrating to backtrack on. They repack a lot of them but for some reason they pick a good amount of the ones that just aren't good anymore and really just need upgrades. The Select Ghost Rider is pretty bad but they keep on re-issuing it out for some reason. Or they have two Green Goblins, one older and less articulated while the other has vast articulation improvements, and yet the older less good Green Goblin is the one seeing re-releases. It's just weird sometimes.

I could seriously look at those pics all day.

And I'll enjoy the Civil War weekend as long as I don't get spoiled. No idea when I'll be able to see it, but I know it won't be this weekend.

My Gamora finally showed up, and minus the articulation, the paint apps, accessories and just overall detail are great

Madame Warlock · 05-06-2016, 06:19 AM

Any idea how I might get the Black Panther/Agent 13 2-pack over to me in Ireland? Not sure it'll show up anywhere. I REALLY want that Black Panther though and that Agent 13 looks like a fantastic base for customs(and a decent figure in it's own right).

You and me both my friend, in my case to Portugal. I don't think these hit Toysrus US stores yet. I contacted their US chat support and they told me that in their system they do not have anything. To contact stores. My assumption is that these are in stock somewhere either central warehouse or some store warehouses and they are just waiting for the go to place them in shelves.

Personally I think they should be in there already. Movie is in cinemas for more than 1 week. But I think they want to collect the 2.5'' money first. In their heads these are more collector oriented I would say. Problem is these are toysrus exclusives so not much choice. If only they hit European stores also but I didn't even see the bike set here so I doubt I will see this also.

If you see them on ebay or at a local store let me know. I will do the same for you. Maybe we can help each other.

Finally found Zola at Walmart today. Surprised they also had some of the marvel u like bends in stock as well.

Grippen · 05-06-2016, 09:08 AM

In a 1/2h I'm going on toy hunt. Toysrus and Disney store. For TRUs I will try and find some info about the Black Panther & Agent 13 pack. I will give the bar code and see if they have something in system. Maybe code bar is US specific and if that is the case maybe nothing is on the system. I also don't know if they have a global system for all items, if its local most likely there won't be anything there. Disney store I will check the newer 2.5'' Civil War packs as they had the initial waves.

Most likely I won't find anything as it happens most of times :P

Dang, wasn't he 25 in the beginning :P I knew I should have grabbed him. Sucks they never made a Big MU version of him like they did for Galactus.

Keep an eye on the UK thread then daytrip to Belfast? There's a TRU in the city centre.

I'll even take the Agent 13

Bluenope · 05-06-2016, 05:25 PM

Just saw the movie. They really should have done more to promote it. I don't think Hasbro or Toys 'R Us realized it came out this week and forgot to get their two packs in.

I missed his initial release. They were supposed to rerelease him a year or so ago but they cancelled it. Hopefully we will see him again.

I just saw it too and can safely go on the internets/this thread without fear of spoilers... And I was thinking the same exact thing about the merchandise. The civil war stuff, especially in the 3.75" scale is almost nonexistent in my area. Hasbro, you are dropping the ball focusing on the 6" dolls and leaving a lot of money on the table... So not cool 'bro!

Ninjinister · 05-06-2016, 09:04 PM

Outside of the 2.5 Cap/Buck vehicle packs literally the only toys I've seen of this movie were the bloody masks that never sell.

They probably don't sell because they're always available. Plus, they kinda suck now. Remember that full helmet we got with Iron Man 2? I don't have it, but I really want 1 or 2 of them.

Grippen · 05-07-2016, 02:57 AM

My trip to toysrus and Disney store came out empty as I predicted. They have the previous wave of the MU line the one with Cap Marver and Noir Spider Man. On Disney they lowered the prices on the 2.5” sets but no new sets there.

I just read a comment on the video review of the Black Panther & Agent 13 pack saying that someone called TRUS local store and they told the pack won't be out before summer which sucks

Ninjinister · 05-07-2016, 03:12 PM

Why would you wait until after the movie's been out for a month or more to put out basic merch like this?

UrsaMagnus · 05-07-2016, 05:59 PM

WOOT!!! Nothing better to make your day than getting a package from Pilkster in the mail.

Thanks to him, my Squadron Supreme is pretty darn near complete...

And my own character is now safely at home as Steel Wolf joins his other custom figure brothers...

Huge thanks, sir!!!

Man those are all great. Your oc is damn good lookin too. Forgive my ignorance but which one is quagmire?

UrsaMagnus · 05-07-2016, 06:19 PM

He's not there. As I said... nearly complete. XP

Also, thanks for the compliment on Steel Wolf. Pilk did a stunning job on him.

LordMudd · 05-07-2016, 06:23 PM

They are from L to R: Doctor Spectrum, Nighthawk, Black Archer, Hyperion, Skrull, Speed Demon, and Power Princess. Technically 'Speed Demon' was never Squadron Supreme, he was Squadron Sinister until the Avengers cartoon. The Supreme version always called himself Whizzer. I wouldn't mind finding an extra Mr. Fantastic to make a Whizzer.

As for Quagmire, he has a blonde Mohawk, making him easy to spot.

CCC.

LordMudd · 05-07-2016, 06:54 PM

Went to the Downtown Aquarium this week. They have some cool wall murals.
"Mmmmm, fresh fish."

"Thou shalt not dine here villain, so swear the Avenging Son."

Which reminds me...why exactly was he the avenging son? He was not an Avenger, so what was he avenging?

CCC.

True. But I figure it's good enough for now and can serve double duty. Plus, getting all that yellow on an actual Whizzer figure would suck.
