X-Men '97 5 Pack Target Exclusive coming in the Fall and Gambit is only available with the set.

Kinda glad I haven't found any of the singles around on my past figure hunts. Just have sit back and wait on this set to release.

Maybe check your Walmart clearance. Not my local store, but this one was working on their toy reset and were basically throwing random toys on the clearance aisle with staggeringly oddball prices like this.

snake5289 · 07-24-2023, 08:24 PM

Damn. And I thought finding that Spider-Man for 5.99 was a steal.

Autobot_Goldbug · 07-24-2023, 08:39 PM

my Walmarts never had any of the Spidey series
& Target already clearanced them out

snake5289 · 07-24-2023, 10:47 PM

It's weird I've only seen them at Target. Same goes for the GotG3 figures. Then Wal-Mart seems to get the Dino Avengers stuff but not Target. These things have some wonky ass distribution.

One of my Target stores did the reset. They have the Epic Heroes X-Men, Thor and Ironman figures and the mech w/Ultron. And those clearenced 50% off Spidey figures are back to full price.

Madame Warlock · 07-28-2023, 07:45 PM

Back when Epic Heroes was first released, Steve Evans assured us it was an "international" line, but yet I've seen no trace whatsoever of these figures existing outside the US, and certainly not where I live. It just does not exist here and there has been no effort or mention of this and I feel like I'm going insane.

Yah it’s incredible what Hasbro thinks they can get from some of this stuff. It’s like they are trying to fill the clearance aisle, just so they can say they don’t sell

But it has "Marvel" on the box AND it squirts water. -Hasbro

When it comes to figures of this size I firmly believe that's what they do.

The clearance aisles are overflowing... I guess hasbro has been really screwing the pooch lately but as long as they release an occasional odd ball character for the 6" line here and there it's a license to print money for the hasbros and shills

Autobot_Goldbug · 08-02-2023, 07:29 PM

I think they are over-estimating the 6 inch popularity.
I just saw a whole shelf full of clearance ML's at Target.

snake5289 · 08-02-2023, 09:24 PM

But I thought those are for the real collectors...

(that was sarcasm btw just in case)

yeah it doesn't really sell here either. those closed boxes are just so insulting somehow too.

redfox · 08-04-2023, 03:40 PM

Another day, another Walmart clearance find:

hasbroherofan · 08-04-2023, 06:26 PM

Wait, are people still having the scale argument? This many years later?

redfox · 08-05-2023, 06:43 PM

Went back to the same store and found another. Can't believe these were actually originally priced at $23.97.

snake5289 · 08-05-2023, 07:16 PM

I can since I bought the Iron Man at regular price.

kostej · 08-06-2023, 12:55 AM

It's insane. In the US they are selling these at huge discounts, meanwhile in Europe there is nothing.

it is more about the price than anything scale wise
as 4 inch prices have crept up 6 inch prices have been pretty much the same

Yes, and Steve Evans assured us this was a "global line". Just asked Dublin City COmics &Collectibles and they're not even listed with the suppliers. They are putting absolutely no effort and have no intent of making this available oversees when they clearly have excess product in the US.

Is there anywhere to buy them online for super cheap so the taxes won't kill me?

snake5289 · 08-07-2023, 09:15 AM

I've seen them on Amazon but they're full price.

kostej · 08-09-2023, 09:10 AM

Life of Marvel 3.75 collector in Europe. I am used to paying extra, but come on, this is starting to get ridiculous...
