I'm very tempted by Iron Monger and the Mark 1, but the price is a bit much (£7.49+). Hopefully Argos will do a 2-for-1 like they did with the first movie!

Do you have pics? I think this is the first we've heard of them being released in Europe.

I found these in TRU north of Nashville TN yesterday. They also had the new Spider-Man line as well. This line is MUCH better.

No pics sorry. Next time I'm in ASDA I'll try to remember to take a photo on my phone.

Took a quick snap tonight in ASDA on the phone and attached it to this post. They had the first seven numbered figures and I would guess they had at least 2 or 3 of each.

flipwilson 02-11-2010 02:30 PM

I've had the entire wave of comic, concept, and movie armors (except for iron monger) completed for about a week now. They're worlds better than the MU figures.

Snowflakian 02-11-2010 05:26 PM

So I decided to check again today...

One store had them, but were sold out of the ones I wanted. So I went to the next store which had a lower store number to see if they had them, this is where the trouble started...
Toys R Us Store number 9516
They had 2 people in the entire store. The lady I spoke was some elderly lady with a bad red dye job and glasses claiming to be a manager, her name was Jan. First she lied to me flat out about the marvel universe figures, saying they didn't carry them when they were right behind her. When I asked about Ironman 2 she said "what's out is what we have" didn't even bother to check the back. When I asked her about the street date, she came up with a new round of lies, saying they can't stock them till they are told, and local stores have gotten in trouble for this. (Untrue, as the other stores just stocked them today as I talked to their managers.) Then she continued on bad mouthing the other stores and employees. I have to say I've never left a store more pissed off than I have today. How do people like this stay employed? At the very least, she should have just gone in the back and acted like she checked instead of making new excuses everytime I poked a hole in her lies. Already filed a store complaint against her at the customer line, let's see if that actually gets anything fixed. So if you're in missouri, this is the south county store. If you get her trying to help you, ask for a different employee. Anyone is better than her, she'll never find what you need, and probably lie about it too.

If it wasn't for the other stores I talked to today, I'd be about read to swear off toys r us entirely. Seriously how do such liars stay employed?

Dude, I feel your pain. I know that it has been discussed here and other places before but the incompetence of some store employees is just incredible. I don't even want to get started because I'll go off on a huge rant that nobody really wants to read.

On a positive note, I did manage to find IM2 Movie Series Mark II and comic series Stealth Operations figures. They were the only two IM2 figures left on the pegs when I got to the store during my lunch break.

Kluster Bombs 02-11-2010 06:34 PM

Finally got movie MK I today. I still need Iron Monger and Classic IM. I haven't seen Iron Monger yet and all the Classic IM's i've seen have sloppy paint job on the head/face.

Prem1x 02-11-2010 08:07 PM

No joy here. One TRU employee almost admitted to having them by saying she can't sell them till 3/1. Another TRU had labels for the IM2 Muggs and some more of those and the Squadies fresh out of boxes but not shelved yet. Wasn't interested in those.

This I can understand at least. I wish the one I was dealing with was even half the capabilities of the employee you mentioned.

Yeah they went out on ASDA shelves over the weekend - there's reports on several of the TF boards of people finding them - not the comic wave though :-(

ams 02-12-2010 12:47 PM

Picked up a few today, and while I don't care for the smaller scale, I'm quite impressed.

Anyone have a comprehensive list of these guys, including series numbers?

HugeBadWolf 02-13-2010 10:39 AM

Pics of MkII that I picked up in Asda:
Iron man " 3 3/4" MkII Pictures

Prob should've posted 'em in here rather than making a new thread - D'oh!

Also picked up the deluxe figures in Asda for a tenner each

Cheers,
Doug

Archienj7 02-13-2010 07:17 PM

The TRU in Huntington, WV had them last week, if any members here are near there. I got the only War Machines though, sorry. :D

I saw some of the super hero squad ones at TRU today, but they said I couldn't buy them due to the street date. :(

Tarquinius 02-18-2010 08:32 PM

I got my Mark 1 movie, Dive Armor, Warmachine, Mark II and Iron Monger today.

Anybody seen Crimson Dynamo?

I received a Mark III in the mail about two weeks ago, and last weekend I bought a Power Assault and saw a couple of Comic Series figures I didn't want at a Toys R Us about 90 miles away from where I live. Then yesterday, they finally stocked the figures at my local Toys R Us. They had just stocked the whole first wave of the Concept Series and I grabbed the Mark I, Deep Dive, and Hyper Velocity.

Has anybody found a Vault Guardsman from the Comic Series yet? I read something that said he's in the first wave.

I know a guy who works at Toys R Us and he says that they tend to stock/restok the shelves randomly, no specific day or time. As a result, I've been checking my Toys R Us everyday before work and on the whole this seems to be true.

Can anyone confirm or deny this?

Tuesdays and thursdays generally have the newest stuff that came on the truck the night before.

But they do restock randomly sometimes too. They are supposed to stock if they have more cases whenever the pegs have enough room for a new case.
It doesn't usually happen like that though from laziness to whatever other excuses. Sometimes stores never stock till a customer asks the right employee if they have any of so and so item in the back, and they actually check, and bring it out. They'll then stock the shelves. Otherwise, it's pretty much random if it's not one of those 3 things.

Tarquinius 02-19-2010 01:58 PM

Has anybody seen the Heavy Metal pack at Kmart yet? I hate going to Kmart and I only want to go there when I know the exclusive has been released.

The truck comes Friday/Saturday here.

I found all of them at the TRU in Amarillo TX with the exception of War Machine. Hopefully Ill find him soon.

Which ones of these are considered the hardest to find??

Are these sold at Wal-Marts??
