I usually do my Christmas shopping in September or October so that I don't have to worry about it later, and so after a doctor's appointment I did so. I also decided to check MU... this place is so godawful in that regard. TRU just had three Hercs, two Nighthawks and Ultimate Parker. Thankfully I did have a chance to finally see Dark World figures and picked some of those up. They're neat.

When I was there, one of the employees unloaded the boxes for that section. I noticed one said Avengers Assemble with the $5.99 sticker on it, and one had the $9.99 sticker. Considering all they had was an Iron Man and Falcon in the $9.99s, I stuck around to see if there was something new he'd put on the shelf. Imagine my surprise when it was actually Avengers MOVIE figures inside (even though the label and box logo clearly said Avengers Assemble), which there were three pegs full of already. He didn't have anywhere to put them so he stuffed them on an empty AA peg.

I couldn't find any at Target until their ridiculous $11.99 price tag caught my eye. They were stuffed behind several Iron Man 3 Assemblers, and it was just Gladiator, Iron Spider, and Astonishing Wolvie. The Wal-Mart across the street doesn't even have a peg for MU but for some reason can accommodate four pegs of those stupid low-artic Ultimate Spider-Man figures that only come in two varieties, and had AA out the wazoo (but sadly nothing I didn't already have).

I also bit the bullet and ordered the Hall of Armor pack a while back from Amazon and the fucking thing still hasn't shown up despite both UPS and Amazon's tracking still saying it's "on schedule" for delivery on Goddamn October 10th. I've e-mailed both entities and they're pointing fingers at each other. Lovely.
