North Carolina Toy & Action Figure Sightings

Falconhood · 03-22-2015, 05:40 PM

I've found several of the Star Wars Saga Legends figures at Target and Wal-Mart, but absolutely no 2-Pack Mission Series sets. Have y'all found any of the 2pks?

Went to Asheville over the weekend and picked up a 6" Han Solo with Taun Taun and a Herschel Walking Dead Exclusive at Target. Also spotted wave 8 (Luke and Han in Stormtrooper disguise, Emperor and Clone Trooper) at a couple of Walmarts. Hopefully they are headed this way.

I saw the Emperor wave at the Walmart in Fuquay recently, so they're definitely making their way here! I've also seen the Han and Taun Taun at the Target in Holly Springs. I've also been snatching up the 3 3/4-inch Black Series figures locally too. So far I've found Dutch Vander, Chewbacca, Stormtrooper, Dagobah Vader, Wolffe, Doom and Rex.

Hope everyone is going to make it over to the state fairgrounds this weekend for the Raleigh Toy Show!

I hear the vendor spots are sold out so it should be a full show, but of course I don't know how many of those are going to be toys versus sports cards, comics, etc. I believe I'll be set up in the same spot as usual or at least somewhere nearby.

Anyone interested in the old 3 3/4-inch Dapol Doctor Who action figures from the 80s? I'm on the fence about trying to sell my collection this weekend. It's all loose but in great condition. I opened them myself for display back in the day.

The funeral got moved to the 27th, so I can go.

Saw a few things worth mentioning today at the TRU in Cary...they had the SDCC convention exclusive ReAction Jaws "Final Battle" boxed set (the bloody version with Quint) and also a Hooper figure. The convention set is $29.99 but I believe the basic Jaws (without the blood splatter and without the Quint figure) will only be $19.99. I got the exclusive set because I thought the blood splatter looked really good and did a lot to make it more of a horror figure and less like a Discovery Channel shark toy.

They also had several of the Gremlins figures and quite a few of the other newer ReAction lines (Fifth Element, T2, etc.). They also had the Star Wars Rebels Imperial Troop Transport but you can get it a few dollars cheaper at Marshall's right now. I saw two at the Marshall's in Holly Springs a few days ago.

The latest wave of 3 3/4-inch Black Series Star Wars figures are hitting Walmarts in the Raleigh area. The full size display was out today at lunch at the Walmart in Cary. No TFA product of course but they had Mosep Binneed, Jawas, C-3PO, Han in Carbonite, Leia in Boushh disguise, Commander Thorne, Dagobah Vader, Chewbacca, Captain Rex, Clone Commander Doome, Clone Commander Wolffe, etc. They also had a large rack of SW hot wheels right next to it as well as their older SW stuff on the clearance aisle. I've also heard from a friend that they are out at the Walmart at Triangle Town Center as well.

Falconhood · 08-14-2015, 09:24 PM

I found World of Nintendo Bowser (box version, the $15 one) and Pink Yoshi (the $10 one) at TRU tonight! Both are gone now.
My friend bought Bowser at TRU Cary. I bought Pink Yoshi at TRU Raleigh(TTC).

Spotted at the Walmart in Brier Creek. A couple Six inch Black Series Kylo Ren's, one Rey (Jakku) and BB-8 a couple of Chewbacca's and a couple of Finn's.

Greg · 01-08-2016, 11:27 PM

Just a heads-up for the Raleigh/Triangle folks that there will be a toy show at the Fair Grounds this weekend. Saturday 9-4, and Sunday 10-4. Admission is five bucks and kids are free. It's a fun way to kill some time, and if the weather is good the flea market should also be open. Hope to see you out there!

Happy New Year folks! I just wanted to give a heads-up that there will be a toy show at the NC State Fairgrounds this weekend, 1/7 and 1/8. I'll be set up with my usual assortment of plastic goodness. Hopefully ya'll will brave the potentially snowy weather for some awesome toy shopping.

is this thread dead? I've been too busy to toy hunt but if I do i usually post on my instagram and FB Triangle Toy Sightings page

nccollector · 01-09-2018, 07:29 AM

Haven't seen many people using this site anymore. I will try to post more sightings from the Triangle. Mostly collect Marvel Legends, DC Multiverse, Star Wars Black Series and Diecast.
The Marvel Legends Black Panther wave is showing up. Spotted at The Brier Creek Walmart and Target.

nccollector · 08-03-2018, 04:13 AM

The Target at Brier Creek is re-doing their Toy section. Spotted the new Marvel legend 2 packs Hulk/Hulkbuster, 3-pack Ironamn/Thanos/Dr. Strange
