I lucked out. A TRU Express opened the same week those shipped to all the TRUs. It took that store almost a month to get through their shipments, still putting new stuff out, but they called me today and held one for me. It was a huge relief as I missed them at one store and all have since restocked Bowsers and DKs.

I still need to find a Samus. Hopefully, we will see more of these in the coming months. It is a shame, ToysRUs and Targets seem to be the only stores to get these.

I was holding a Samus in my hands this week, but put it down since I couldn't think of a reason why I needed another. Now I wish I would have picked it up for ya, I'm sure it is gone at this point.

I appreciate the lookout but don't worry about it. I prefer to find and buy stuff in person and if I never find it at retail then that means I was never meant to own it. Plus, it helps keep me from spending money.

The next wave coming out.

World of Nintendo 4" Figure Series 04 - Set of 5 - Nintendo World of Nintendo

1x Tanooki Mario w/Coin
1x Samus Gravity Suit w/Power Ball
1x Shy Guy w/Coin
1x Fire Luigi w/Fire Flower
1x Link Ocarina of time

I should have preordered the last set since I have no idea when it'll show up here. This one... I think I'll take or leave. Tanooki Mario might be interesting, Shy Guy seems a bit big... I have a Samus and a Link and I'm good with the ones I have for now. I might get Fire Luigi since it's the SMB1 palette but since regular Luigi's a pegwarmer if he ever shows up here I'm sure he'll be EVERYWHERE.

I plan on working my way through the entire line of 4" and 6" figures let me know what you think.

OH... MY... GOD... I am a ****ing moron!!! I just realized something about this Nintendo line. I've talked about how I refuse to touch it because Jakk's quality control was horse ****. I just realized I was mixing them up with Jazzware. Jazzware were the ones who did the MegaMan figures so cheap they broke in the package while on display, NOT Jakks. Wow, what an idiot I am.

My local ToysRUs had a full case of Ganondorf and Metroid this morning. I left the other Metroid and both Ganondorfs. They also had Pink Yoshi and Princess Peach 4" figures. I still need to find Samus.

Nice find Soundwave!

You might be the only person to find a Metroid, but no Samus, lol. Nobody can find Metroids!

I still smile thinking about how lucky I was to find one. I also remember being so jealous that other people had one when it was the only thing I was missing from the 4" an 6" figures. I came too close to saying eff it I will pay the $45 on ebay...so glad my patience won for once!

Snagged this from TRU.com....
I got an email notification that it was in stock... I promptly ordered it from the website. I also grabbed a LEGO Elves set for my daughter for Christmas to get the free shipping!

Picked up 8 bit Mario and DK at Target yesterday.

Been lucky with my 4 inch wants so far.

That Metroid still eludes me!

I was able to get a 4" Samus off e-bay for a very reasonable price ($17 shipped) this weekend. The seller still has more available if anyone else needs one. Now to find the 8-bit figures!

Those of you looking for the pirahna wave of 2.5 figs, check your local Wal Mart in the bottom shelves of the checkout lanes.

Also word on the street is that the new 4" figures are starting to show up. Haven't seen any myself, but time to keep an eye out!!

Exclusive Metallic Samus figure in the subscription box service, Comic Con Box. Subscriptions close soon.
ComicConBox - Subscription Box for Comic Books, Action Figures & Toy Collectibles

Thanks for the heads up!

I'm still hoping this line produces some Captain N figures.

Pooh now I want a Nintendo gun for my gijoes.

I finally found a Piranha Plant at K-mart of all places. They had a full case of the Starfox/Peach wave and a full case of the 2 inch figures.

Also was very happy to get my DK barrel from Amazon. They are made to hold DS games and pens , but I really like how they work for these toys :-)
