Hasbro has to be run by complete idiots to not realize how high a demand these figs are in when they're selling out in an instant.

Ya hasbro really needs to sell cases of just army builders to online stores. So much lost money for hasbro and many upset customers who have to go to eBay to get hard to find figures.

I'd be happy if they didn't have BAF part's be so much to spare unless you had different rank's building a Mega BAF but one can keep dreaming

[hitman2099]

I noticed that where I live that the stores (target, kmart, and walmart) all receive shipments on moday night / tuesday morning so by the time the store opens you can snag any figure you need. I found this out by trial and error and picked up my Spidergirl, and the other villian that throws boomerangs I was missing on the same morning.

The other thing you can do is like at Target they place these stickers whenever something needs to be ordered. If you take the sticker off of something else.and put it on top of one of the waves you want ordered, you may get your wish even if they got 3 WW2 caps on the peg.

Also, but this requires sacrifice you can purchase the few stragglers and return them a few weeks later after they order more of what you want.

[hitman2099]

When stores order one set of any waves there's only ONE spider girl, one carnage etc, plus 2 Spider-man or 2 WW2 caps. I for example never found Black Cat at retail and since she is the running change anyone who didn't find her is better off hitting eBay ASAP because she won't be shipped to stores anymore.

I'm very disappointed that I never came across a single AIM soldier and since he is also a running change, I think I missed out.

I keep noticing that most people have the same trouble of finding black widow, let's hope that goes away with time, I don't expect that wave to be in stores during Cap 2 being at theatres.

[trowa195]

I have two Black Cat figures if anyone wants to buy or trade, let me know what you have. I think I gave up on Black Widow for now.

No toy in the store infuriates me more than these stupid things.

They look like something that belongs on a 1979 Woolworth's shelf. 12" inch Kenner Marvel figures...how exciting!

Haha those Titan heroes are a joke, whoever thought of them...even on the TF side as well!

[ultraman zoffy]

I'm convinced Titan Heroes were created by some mean spirited person at Hasbro intent on getting boys bullied for playing with dolls.

Say that all you want about the "titan heroes" but they sell at Christmas. They're super cheap to make so I see it as anything that makes Hasbro more money is good, as we'll get more of what we want.

also: re those grey dots at Target (mentioned above by newbie hitman2099) they mean someone has already ordered it. Here's how it works:

Target sends a crew around once per week to put everything in the right place and scan anything with an empty peg. If the computer says they have (lets say) 5 of an item but there are none there, they put a grey dot and correct the inventory to zero. When they finish a section they go back and scan all the grey dot items and put them on order manually.

So unless you happen to be there while they're doing it and move it before guy #2 orders (likely within the hour) you're not doing anything by moving the dot.

I'm sure most folks get why they do it, but that doesn't make them any cooler as a toy.

For those needing a discount code, 10htsdisc works on hasbrotoyshop.com. It's not anywhere as good as spring14 was, but every little bit helps. Thanks to Snoopy Magnus on TFW for sharing the code.

LOL at 'forum vets' still referring to people at Noobs.

What is this, 1998?

I wonder if they sell because there is nothing else left... Who knows, I've never seen any kids including mine or my nephews even look at those. I assumed they were made of hollow chocolate lol. "Spider sense is going crazy."

I'm glad they are releasing a revision case with 2 scar jos, thanks for pointing that out iceman, that way we don't have to pay through the nose for her.

They should just cut to the chase and rename these "The Choking Hazard Avengers", because I can at least agree with their existence for that purpose. Now if we can just get Target to move them into that other aisle with all the pudgy looking marshmallow versions of Marvel figs to free up shelf space, that'd be great. =)

[cidman911]

LOL !!! I'm a proud noob!

Anybody watch Toy Hunter?

Every few episodes I'll see Jordan Hembrough gloss over a few boxes of old Marvel Legends and he'll say "There's nothing in here at all."

I know he's all into Mego's and 1960's board games, but COME ON!! Give our newer superhero toys SOME love. I think I've only seen him mention a random DC Collectibles Catwoman statue once.

It's been frustrating to find the new Legends for me. If you haven't already gone to one, you might get lucky at K-Mart. A few months back my friends and I found Carnage, Black Cat and an AIM Trooper at a K-Mart but they were hidden. I don't know if wave 2 has hit K-Mart and all Walmarts yet but most Walmarts I've gone to only have wave 1 and same for K-Mart.

Around here the situation is the same, the figures that never last are the swap figures although sometimes I see Ultimate Beetle. I saw Toxin once. Never saw Black Widow.

Best of luck man and the news of the new casepack is great. About DAMN time. Now let's hope retailers even bother to order it.

I think they guy doesn't believe anything newer than 30 years is worth any money. He has some point as a big score item isn't likely to be that new. Still, buying at the right price will get him a profit. He just doesn't know anything about the stuff so he says he can't make money.

[JamesBenjamin]

Haha! No offense meant with the "newbie" comments.

But that new case assortment with 4 widows is fantastic! I have widow but only by sheer luck. I was watching my local Target hoping for a restock of TF voyagers to get Whirl and when the website showed they restockedI got there at open and it was the old wave... I was so miffed that I had left the house at 7:50 for nothing but I turned around and saw Winter Soldier and Widow was right behind him!

But my WS had a frozen shoulder joint so I had to watch all the Targets like a hawk to find a replacement and it seems like between the 5 or so Targets near me 3 got one case with Widow (so I was able to replace WS, but I never saw a second Widow). None of the stores that got that wave (and have since sold out) have restocked, so I'm guessing that revision wave will end up more places. If nothing else, at least its a decent case to split with someone else locally, assuming some place like BBTS puts it up.

A little appreciation to bring more pics into the thread...

Must be nice to have ever even seen it. I have put many miles on my car and have only ever seen 5 of the 10 or so figures from the Spidey waves

I painted the eyes on one of my superior spideys. I didn't like the bronze

I tried to watch it just now. He's into some weird stuff if you're talking about the guy on youtube. He collects girly toys from the looks of it.
