Hmmm. Haven't bought a Joe in a while, but I've been eyeing some of those ultimate figures and $4 ain't bad. I foresee a trip to the Cary Ollie's in my future.

Congrats, again, on the Power Rangers/Super Sentai find, Falconhood! Just wanted to share this with you. It's the next Super Sentai season: Orends: Range: Shuriken Sentai Ninninger Team Revealed

Ninjas!

Thanks for posting the Shuriken Sentai Ninninger link! I just picked up the Megaforce Lunar Wolf finally yesterday, too.

I've seen the GI Joe vehicles at Ollie's but not the figures yet.

Thanks.
I'd love to see action figures of Psycho-Rangers.

Went to the Barnes & Noble in Durham off Hope Valley. They have a ton of stuff I haven't seen before. Lots of the Figuarts figures including Power Rangers. Also a number of Gundam models. I picked up a Serenity Yahtzee set that included an 8" long Serenity ship.
Really impressed with the items that this B&N carried. I usually go to the one in Cary or Southpoint, but I'll shop here again.

nccollector · 12-13-2014, 12:31 PM

Quite a Haul today. Picked up the TIE Pilot and Clone Sargent Star Wars Black Series 6" figures at Target Apex. They have a new shipment of Classic Planet of the Apes figures at the TRU in Durham, picked up Zira. They also had the Versus Terminator figures with the Plasma Rifle T-800 and Exsoskeleton Heavy Gunner. And Ultimate Comics in Chapel Hill has the new Thrasher Armor Batman. And for those of you that like minimates, the Exclusive Mass Effect figures are showing up at the Gamestops.

Falconhood · 12-13-2014, 08:35 PM

I found nothing of interest at retail stores today.
Has anyone here found the Transformers Brainstorm or Arcee?

mj3141x · 12-15-2014, 12:15 PM

I've seen quite a few of the DC Multiverse Arkham Knight figures out over the past few days. The Walmart in Fuquay had a ton of them (about 4 pegs full) including Two Face, Scarecrow, Batman, Red Hood and I guess maybe Robin. I also saw quite a few Jokers and Harley Quinn's at the TRU in Cary.

Also, the Target in Holly Springs has the 3 3/4-inch Captain America 2 figures on clearance for $6-something. Finally picked up a Winter Soldier.

mj3141x · 01-06-2015, 07:58 AM

It looks like 5 Below now has the Captain America 2 figures for $5 in addition to the 5POA Avengers figures they've been carrying for a while now. I've heard rumors that they're getting in another wave of Star Wars figures (TVC Ep I and Walmart 3D cards, similar to what they had last time) but I haven't seen any local evidence of that yet.

I was at TRU yesterday and they have GI Joe Retaliation marked down to $3.98 now, including Blind Master, Kim Arishakagi and others, if you missed any of those.

If you're going to be in the Raleigh area this weekend, please remember to check out the Raleigh Toy Show in the Kerr Scott building at the NC State Fairgrounds. I believe doors open Saturday morning at 9 and Sunday morning at 10, as usual. I believe the show will continue to end at 4 p.m. each day. I should be set up somewhere in the usual area near the back left corner. I'm putting out my entire Transformers collection this time along with more of my Star Wars collection, along with some other new things from my own private stash.

That's THIS Week-End????
This caught me off-guard.
Do you have the 2011 Giant Millenium Falcon?

Jangonate · 01-06-2015, 10:06 PM

Dang it! I'll be in Burlington over the weekend so I'll miss it.

On the toy front...I picked up Sergeant Clone Trooper and Yoda at the newer Target off of 55 going towards Apex from Durham.

Online, I've ordered the Hot Toys Batman Armory set (whew!) and preordered Figuarts AoU Iron Man, Mezco 1:12 Collective Dark Knight Returns Batman, and Ninninger Mecha and figures from the new Sentai series. I'm booked until April!

I have the 2011 Millennium Falcon. An amazing ship, it is. Also picked up the AT-TE at the same time and haven't gotten the legs to stay on since. Ordered replacements several times and the fates kept them from me.

I wish I did. I need one for myself! What else are you looking for? But yes. The Raleigh Toy Show is this weekend, the 10th and 11th.

Falconhood · 01-07-2015, 06:50 PM

I like Astromechs...I'm not really sure right now.

mj3141x · 02-05-2015, 11:33 AM

I just saw the new Predator Blade Fighter at the FYE at Cary Town Center. Very cool looking and the packaging is excellent. Very retro.

Also saw the ReAction Alien Wave 2 figures at Barnes & Noble in Cary (the "metallic" Alien, Ripley in white space suit and the two Kane's...one with Facehugger and one with Chestburster).

JangonateTK421 · 02-06-2015, 10:57 AM

I picked up a few things a couple of nights ago. Was visiting Southpoint Target in Durham and found Rocksteady from TMNT cartoon and the Hulk/Hulkbuster 2pack from the Age of Ultron mini figure line. Then I headed over to Southsquare Target and found the Sabine/Stormtrooper 2pack from Star Wars Rebels.

My boys are at the beach with their mom this weekend, so they're going to be excited to see these when they get back.

nccollector · 02-07-2015, 10:42 AM

Picked up 5 out of the 7 Marvel Legends Infinite ALL FATHER Series at the Target in Apex. They had Machine Man, Sentry, Scarlet Witch, Captain Marvel and Hawkeye, just lacking Iron Fist and Thor. The only ones left were Hawkeye.

Falconhood · 02-07-2015, 06:37 PM

I really just want Machine Man.

nccollector · 02-13-2015, 08:53 AM

SCORE!!
Just picked up Thor and Iron Fist from the TRU in Cary. Left the rest though, Scarlet Witch, Captain Marvel, Machine Man, Hawkeye and Sentry.

Falconhood · 02-14-2015, 06:29 AM

congratz. Did y'all notice that the Warcraft figures that were $25 at Target are now $7.99??? I have since bought them all, since they are very well made.
I finally found the WOOKIE set of Star Wars Rebels at Target near Crabtree yesterday. First new Star Wars Rebels I've seen in MONTHS.

Thanks, they are popping up everywhere, now I have seen them at the TRU in Durham.

Did not notice the price on the Warcraft figs, but for that price I will pick up a couple. Thanks for the info.

mj3141x · 02-24-2015, 07:20 AM

I found the TRU exclusive ReAction Predator (Thermal Vision) in Cary yesterday. Very nice. They had about five of them at $9.99 each. It looks like most of the other ReAction figures are on clearance now for $7.98 so I picked up a few duplicates from the Alien line.

They also have a pretty healthy stock of GI Joe Retaliation figures back in for $3.98 along with some Pursuit of Cobra figures (Jungle BAT, Blowtorch, Hawk, Cobra Commander) on clearance as well (for $7.98 I think). I finally broke down and bought a Blind Master. They had about twelve.

The Target in Holly Springs had some nice single-carded Star Wars Rebels figures last night (AT-DP driver, Plo Koon, Clone Commander Gree). I think the 2-packs were the same old ones (Palpatine/Yoda, Zeb/Stormtrooper, Luke/Vader, etc.). I've also seen Agent Callus there recently as well.

nccollector · 03-10-2015, 08:00 AM

At 10:30 AM on Tuesday, March 10, 2015 - Spotted a complete set of the Spider-Man Marvel Legends Hobgoblin wave at the Target at Crossroads in Cary. Already got mine, so the set was still there.

nccollector · 03-22-2015, 05:07 AM

There were 3 set of the Toysrus Exclusive Marvel Legends Avengers 3-pack with Coulson, Fury and Maria Hill at the Durham TRU.
