Sadly I feel like if I don't buy figures off the net, I'll never get them. Stores here all have the standard WALL of Iron Man 2 figs (minus the villains) while MU gets a whopping TWO pegs, half-full of your standard crap (Spider-Man Iron Man and Hobgoblin usually). Sad. It seems like entire months go by with no discernible changes.

I've spoken with employees at my local Toys R Us who told me that basically, Hasbro has a rep that comes in here and there, checks the pegs and it's very black and white. If there are still figures up, they don't get any more, never mind how current their selection is. And God forbid they put any of them on clearance! Faaaa...

So, yeah, totally feel your pain here. I've probably had my best luck at the Targets, I found all of their recent exclusive two-packs at the second one I visited (Clackamas) probably just days after I found out about them. Honorable mentions go to the Oak Grove Fred Meyers, they had a World War Hulk on the peg for, like, three days, and once at Toys R Us I saw an Archangel at the front of the peg, who disappeared in the time it took me to walk two isles down and back to check the Spidey line (where I actually found Rhino!) But yeah, Warren was just gone, and the other figures were no shit still swinging on the peg. Are you here, mystery collector?
