Most are shared exclusives with TRU, who take enough inventory that the production runs costs are low enough to be worthwhile. No TRU, no shared runs, the prices to produce go up, it may not be worth it to Hasbro to do it anymore.

Or at least anything new, just redecos of already existing molds to stay within budget.

The only shared SDCC/TRU exclusives we got were last year with the Black Series Gree and Marvel Legends A-Force boxset. Even then, we still got the normal just SDCC (and Hasbro Toy Shop afterwards) exclusives, like the Marvel Legends Thor boxset, the early release of the Black Series Landspeeder, and the early release of Thrawn with the packaging made to look like his art room with several art pieces. I don't think SDCC exclusives are going away any time soon.

It inconveniences me how rare green-headed Mysterio is.

Found some remnants of the Lizard wave at Target today. I grabbed a Prowler and left the Gwenpool as I already have one.

I do agree with retailers priortitizng the movie stuff. Wal-Mart has only seen the Avengers stuff in my area, haven't seen the Spidey wave once so far at any Wal-Mart.

Hasbro seems to be listening to collectors and I'm sure they know about how hard it is to find stuff at the moment!

Hopefully you're right man.

This is my first time ordering from Dorkside and am sorely disappointed so far. Waiting since the 4th of Feb. for the Deadpool wave and still nothing. They are showing up everywhere else even where I live in Houston at TRU and Walmart But not Dorkside.

113 Sentinels at $150 each which seems to be the going rate on Ebay comes out to $16,950! That's gotta be photoshopped.

He’s got three Hoffas actually, one loose, one mint in package, and the cement shoes variant.

Captain Nash · 03-11-2018, 07:14 PM

Dropped by a target as it was close by for an errand (same strip mall), nothing but Black Panther stuff. And a Polaris...shes' still so pretty it still makes me happy to see her in stores.

ANyways...at this rate I figure it will be about 3 months after release date that stores around here get stuff...and that's fine. Will continue my SOP. I think that one IW wave was a shipping error and was supposed to go to one of you all's states.

I will be freaking out though when the X-wave hits and I can't find it/get it immediately.

kylactus · 03-11-2018, 07:20 PM

Cap try walgreens I found this guy at the one in Murfreesboro on med center blvd.
It was the only new thing they had.

Hey, thanks! I do go to Walgreens a few times a week but always the same one. They have...black panther figures!

Keep hoping for Mr. Fantastic.

Not that I get out that much anymore. I can't for the time being, so it sits well that I'm not overly excited about anything that's hitting (aside from Songbird and Proxima which I got)...will be nice to see and get it at some point though.

Hoping I can hang out with my friend I go on stores runs with this week - might hit more than the 1-2 non-walgreens stores I get to a week.

I've ordered from them a few times. I think they're just as good as BBTS. Really better considering no tax or shipping charge on orders
$100 bucks or more. As for the DP. I have yet to see it in south florida.

Working with cheap dio material- Generic Space hallway made from Attic ventilation sheets ($1.97 for a 4ft panel at home depot) and FishTank gravel guard ($14 at PetSmart, painted black and drybrushed in silver)

More like the stores did that.

My Walgreens only gets 1 wave or 1 exclusive at a time. Saw Reed Richards there last week so I hope they get the Deadpool wave next and not the Spidey or Avengers wave. I saw beard Cap at Gamestop, so I think they will get only the Avengers wave and not the Deadpool wave unfortunately.

kylactus · 03-11-2018, 10:25 PM

The one I found cable in had like ten yellow dare devils, a hand full of invisible women, two torches, a few scraps from the vulture wave, and one cable. They said they didn’t have any in the back. apparently the delivery people only stock whatever is needed to fill the shelf. That’s how I found the x men wave DP also, a bunch of old shit and one DP it always blows my mind.

Trivial Psychic · 03-11-2018, 11:14 PM

My wife was watching me mess around with my Prowler figure the other day, and after asking me a couple of questions about the character, asked me what I thought of it, which was pretty much covered in my review. After a little bit of griping, and handing the figure to her, she noticed my complaints about the cape, and asked me if she could take a stab at it. Today, she hands me this...

Now I know some people can't stand soft goods on their figures, but I thought this thing turned out so well, he's keeping it. That plastic, ill fitting, junk that Hasbro gave us can go into the fodder bin. It definitely covers up some of my gripes, and I really like this version of Hobie MUCH more now...

Now I just need to get her to do one for Moon Knight...lol.
