North Carolina Toy & Action Figure Sightings

nccollector · 05-17-2014, 12:21 PM

Spotted at the Durham TRU, the DC Comics Multiverse 3 3/4" figures of General Zod from Superman II and the 1989 Michael Keaton Batman.

I found more of those 4" Batman figures today at the CARY TRU, the $7.99 ones, the chunky style that look EXACTLY like the 6" play line from last year. They had BEWARE THE BATMAN Batman, some gold Batman, and Deathstroke Terminator.
I found not much Transformers 4 stuff EXCEPT at TRU.

I noticed something interesting at the FYE at Cary Towne Center today. They have clear plastic NECA action figure display stands in sets of 10 for $9.99. You don't see many action figure supplies on store shelves so I thought it worth mentioning. They're on the left wall with the rest of the action figures.

And they still have a healthy supply of 3 3/4-inch Doctor Who action figures, as well as the figurines. I've bought everything I need...someone else needs to buy the rest so they'll keep ordering new assortments!

On a side note

Just got an email from Amazon that my pre-ordered Guardians of the Galaxy Marvel Legends BAF (Full set of 6) is shipping.

Some things I picked up over the weekend:

Voyager Galvatron
G1 Kreo Grimlock
Legends Tailgate and Skrapnel

TRU in Durham has several of the Grimlock evolution sets if anyone is interested in those.
The TRU had a GiJoe Blind Master figure on the endcap of the Transformers aisle.
The Target across the street has 2 of the chromed Optimus/Grimlock 2 packs and some of the action gimmick Drift and Strafe figures.

I found a ton of great things at the Toy Show in Greensboro. Anyone going to the Raleigh Toy Show in 2 weeks?

nccollector · 06-09-2014, 07:26 PM

I plan on going, usually 10:00 am Saturday

nccollector · 06-10-2014, 02:10 PM

Just spotted a Black Cat and Carnage 6" Marvel Infinite series figures at the TTC Walmart.

I'll be there in the usual booth spot. Should have a lot of Star Wars at this show, among other things of course.

Not really a local sighting, but I got a notification last week that my ReAction Rocketeer was in stock and shipping at BBTS.

I Love BBTS, I like that you have the ability to pre-order items and then delete parts of the order if you need to. I usually pre-order everything, then if i find it locally, i just go to the website and take it off my list.

has ANYONE seen ANY of those 4" Infinity figures that are replacing the Marvel Universe figures? I saw some at the Toy Show, but haven't seen any in retail stores.

Saw them at the Ultimate Comics in Chapel Hill. Of course they are pricey. Have never seen in retail, but always looking.

what is "pricey"? I think $10 is too much for these.

Then you won't want these. I saw only the common ones like the Cap and Ironman and i think the Grimm Reaper. I think they were closer to $15 each.

Dorkside Toys had a complete set of 6 series one on sale for $50, but they are out of stock.

browndinner · 06-13-2014, 06:09 AM

I bought my wave 1 set from Dorkside toys... haven't seen these anywhere at retail... still trying to find Legends Black Widow, Black Cat and Carnage.. If anyone in the Raleigh/Durham area sees them I'll pay you back and vice versa on anything you're lookin for...

Falconhood · 06-13-2014, 06:41 PM

I found the Transformers Hero Mashers at TRU today in Durham. Now I can mash up Marvel and Transformers!

nccollector · 06-21-2014, 09:54 AM

Just back from the Toy Show in Raleigh.
Saw a couple of Marvel Infinite Universe 6" Black Widow figures, lowest was $40. Saw the 3 3/4" Marvel Infinite Universe figures, commons, the only one I was interested in was the Wasp and she was $30. Ugh.

Falconhood · 06-21-2014, 09:34 PM

I was there too! when did you go? I left at 11:30ish.
I got some great stuff, I'll be sharing on the Look What I just Got thread.
Also, if you like FUNSKOOL and other GI JOES, Rush over to EDWARD McKAY's where they are $5 each...never opened!!!

I was probably there at the same time. Got there about 1030 and only stayed for about 45 minutes.

My collection consists of mostly DC and Marvel figues that have decent articulation (neck, shoulder, elbow, wrist, knee, ankle) Halo. Only thing I got was a Hot Wheels collectors 2 pack Ferrari 1963 - 2013. Either I had what was there or they didn't have what I was interested in.

nccollector · 06-22-2014, 02:54 PM

Eureka!
Had to go to Greensboro this morning and went by a Target off of Glendover. They had the new Marvel Universe Infinite 3 3/4" figures. That is the first time I have seen them at retail. They were $9.99, they had all the first series except the Wasp, I got the armored Hulk and Hyperion. So hopefully this means that the local Targets will soon be receiving their shipments soon.

Falconhood · 06-22-2014, 09:18 PM

Well, that could be because it was in that area! I find great stuff at TRU in GSO when I visit my mom that i NEVER EVER see up here, because we have a LOT of scalpers in this area. I'd like to get a WASP figure, and at least see the other ones.

nccollector · 06-28-2014, 12:33 PM

Starting to see more Guardian of the Galaxy toys in the Targets. Saw the Marvel Legend GOTG figures at the Target in Apex.

Falconhood · 06-28-2014, 10:48 PM

I saw a GOTG 6" ML green girl at the TTC Target the other day. Passed on her, but posted her to my TRIANGLE TOY SIGHTINGS along with Black Cat
