New predators at tru cary. Just got lava predator. Wish i could get the other one but knowing that they used te old hip/leg articulation decide me to buy the lava. Nothing against the other one, but need to buy only one. There designs are all great, great used of the retooling of the berserker predator. Also seen the comic 2pack walking dead dixon bros. They still have a ton of mp acidstorm. No new marvel universe/legends stuffs. Sh figuarts dragonball will be available after thanksgiving.

Lastly, any 1/6 collectors here? Please pm me. Thank You so much. Tc

Ah, so they are new? I just haven't been to a TRU in so long, when I saw the Lava Planet, I grabbed him. I had the original Kenner one, so this one was a sure buy for me. Mine is great, except the shoulder gun keeps falling off.

May his toy collection be get stolen or burned in a fire!

I bought this set at the Wal-Mart behind TTC a few weeks ago. Thieves really piss me off beyond belief! If anyone here knows who this MoFo is, please lmk! I'm disgusted that such a greedy a-hole is allowed to live.

There's just something about that Walmart. I have seen several instances of swapped Transformers toys and other things there. I've pointed it out to associates and it never seems to make a difference. As long as the store continues to allow it things will never get better.

Sorry that happened to you.

Falconhood · 11-04-2013, 04:42 PM

Thanks. I just feel like a dolt for not noticing until opening.

jetsandheels · 11-05-2013, 08:27 AM

Has anyone seen the custom Transformers kreo sets at TRU? The main one I am after is Starscream, but I may end up getting the Soundwave as well.

Just for reference, I am talking about these.

Happened by the Big Lots in Cary on Kildare. They had 3 Nice boxed 12" Ghostbuster Figures. Peter and Winston. They were $30!

Falconhood · 11-09-2013, 10:12 PM

i was stoked to find a GI Joe 3-pack at ROSES for just $5 after picking ALL of my stuff from Stuff-n-such (he didn't want ANY of it).
There was also a $3 Bootleg of Gundam at Roses. I'll be posting pix on my Flickr tomorrow, prolly, it's too late tonight to do so.

Will anyone be attending the toy show in Greensboro this weekend? I will be going on Sunday. I am looking to sell a few items while I am there. I have a 1993 Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Dragonzord w/ Green Ranger in original box that I am looking to get rid of as well as a complete set of Star Wars: Mission Series 1 action figures unopened.

Falconhood · 11-14-2013, 05:33 PM

i plan to attend on Saturday.
While out and about today I got the Greedo from the 6" Star Wars, but no Boba Fett or Han Solo. If you want the Bikini Leia, she's still there, at the Target in WF. Happy Hunting!

nccollector · 11-18-2013, 10:46 AM

Found a 3-3/4" Black Series Mara Jade just sitting on the peg at the Target in Apex. Lucky me. Also picked up the new Toysrus series 17 Marvel Minimates at the Triangle Town Center TRU.

Found some cool Doctor Who stuff at the TRU in Raleigh last night. They had two different 5-inch action figures of the 10th Doctor (David Tennant) (with and without glasses) in what may have been 50th anniversary packaging (they had several of each version on the shelf). They also had a slew of Sonic Screwdrivers, some plush TARDISs and some other stuff. It was all on the same aisle as the Hobbit stuff and wrestlers I think. Always good to see DW product on US shelves!

mj3141x · 11-25-2013, 07:20 AM

Has anyone seen the new Robocop figures in Raleigh yet? I've heard they're starting to show up different places.

I spotted the six inch Robocops at Triangle Town TRU this morning. Price seemed reasonable at $11.99. I didn't see any other Robocop items.

Yeah, I found both the 6-inch and 4-inch figures at the TRU in Cary last night. I bought the 4-inch silver and black one (Robocop 1.0) because it was the closest to the classic look and it's actually a pretty decent figure. And I think it was only $6.99. They also had the second series of Pacific Rim figures fresh out of a box if anyone's looking for those.

Falconhood · 11-26-2013, 06:44 PM

the 6" ones are $11.99? on sale? I swear the sign said $16.99 on Saturday.

jetsandheels · 11-26-2013, 07:59 PM

Toys r us in Durham had 3 Bebops and 1 Rocksteady earlier
Tonight. I grabbed a battle shell Leo.

Across the street at Target I grabbed the last Black series
Han Solo. There was a Greedo and 2 Leia's left.

nccollector · 11-27-2013, 08:00 AM

Got a the Black colored Robocop at the TRU near TTC. Also picked up the 11th Dr. Who with the glasses and sneakers. With the 50th ann. going on I also got the boxed set of all eleven Doctors at the Crabtree Barnes & Noble, had been looking at it because i had the smaller mini set. Looked on line and they are $150 or more. So B&N had them for a good price. They had two other boxes and also the Cary B&N had a set.

mj3141x · 11-28-2013, 04:15 PM

I saw a couple of 3.75-inch DC Injustice Gods Among Us sets at the Barnes and Noble at Triangle Town Center yesterday. They had the Harley Quinn 2-pack with Cyborg and the Wonder Woman 2-pack with Solomon Grundy.

Falconhood · 11-28-2013, 05:24 PM

Barnes and Nobles? The book store?
how much are they?

jetsandheels · 12-02-2013, 11:03 AM

Stopped by the TRU at Triangle Town Center last night. Didn't see a whole lot as far as new stuff, but I did grab the last grey Robocop and a battle shell Raph.

nccollector · 12-15-2013, 05:06 PM

At the Ollies in Cary by the HS. 12" Lex Luthor's and 12" General Zod from Superman II $29.99

Falconhood · 12-16-2013, 04:20 AM

At the Target behind TTC, they had a bunch of the Thor/Hope/IM Terrax wave of Marvel LEgends, and I think they were actually priced at $9.99. The Marvel UNIVERSE were marked down to $8.99. strange to see only a $1 difference.

jetsandheels · 12-16-2013, 07:09 AM

Picked up a Transformers Generations Dreadwing at the Target off of Lynn Road in Raleigh on Saturday. I also saw a Dreadwing and a Goldfire at the Target in Brier Creek.

Still looking for Skids.

Yep, the book store. They didn't have a price so I don't know how much they were. Nice sets though. I remember seeing one of each.
