Last time I was out Walmart has 3 Hawkeye's and 1 Machine Man left, and TRU only had Hawkeye as I bought everything else lol.

I normally use BBTS or Amazon, but there were other sites that had free/discounted shipping and I went with one of them, since had I gone BBTS, I would've paid an extra $15 or thereabouts. Amazon didn't have them up at the time of the preorder window, so I went with another site.

Target, Wal-Mart, TRU, and Meijers here all have blank shelf pegs waiting to get stock in (Well Target has been spreading out the Winter Soldier figures to make them not look so empty) and have for the last few weeks; Meijers here even has dedicated pegs for the Odin wave including a "New Item!" sticker on the ends of the peg in their Avengers section, but zero stock.

Fortunately a friend on TFW works next door to the Target closest to me and let me know that they got the wave in yesterday afternoon. I went out last night and picked up the whole wave, then when I got home, cancelled my pre-order. I also visited the second closest Target and the closest Meijers and they still don't have stock in. (I'd like a second Thor) Getting them in person saved me $4.33 over my preorder.

Anyway, as to the figures themselves, really like them. The BAF legs were really hard to get in, they just didn't want to pop in. Once they did, I built my King Thor. Marvel Now Thor is a great beefy figure that I've been looking forward to for some time. Sentry impressed me with how bulky he is, though I was a little surprised to see how tiny Carol is.

EDIT: And of course, Amazon now has them in for MSRP (and Prime free shipping - Yay!). I picked up the second Now Thor I wanted, since it's cheaper than retail for me and I won't have to keep my eye out at all anymore.
