Thor line getting clearanced?

RAC · 10-30-2011, 10:10 PM

Not just the Deluxes, which one Wal-Mart and Target dumped a while back, but I was in Kmart this Friday, and even the regular figures were completely gone. I found one of the 12" figures on the outdoor clearance racks, so I'm assuming that's what happened.

I've still seen all of two Wave 2+ figures here: a Volstagg for $12 at Rite Aid and a helmeted Thor at Target. I had to get Sif and the Warriors Three from friends out of state. Anybody else find their local stores Thorless?

Peteparker · 10-30-2011, 11:31 PM

Nope, though I did see a crap ton of Thors moved to an isle near a clearance isle at Walmart, looks like they're prepping to clear out, but not doing so yet.

So frustrating!

I guess Heimdall and Sif might one day show up at Ross ... Hasbro really has been lousy with the final waves of the movie lines, at least on the East Coast. Variant Hydra figures haven't been spotted here either, not to mention how the IM2 figures have ONLY made it via Ross. But clearance and stores moving out their stock means we won't be seeing the last waves of these figures. Now, why they would keep pegs FULL of IM2 is beyond my comprehension!

Boba Fettuccini · 10-31-2011, 03:40 AM

Heimdall hitting Ross would be awesome...

bmorr · 10-31-2011, 04:27 AM

haha, whats this word called clearance? my stores have never put these figures in the clearance isle. no MU, IM2 CAP..

KingLouie731 · 10-31-2011, 04:37 AM

yeah Thor is on Clearance at Kmarts near me for 7 plus any sort of additional clearance they are running

77kustoms · 10-31-2011, 06:55 AM

That sux! I need Sif, King Loki and King Laufey! These have not hit out here. I did manage to find Variant Red Skull, another Hydra Soldier and a Fireblast Destroyer this morning. I snagged the Destroyer and variant RS for trade, if anyone can help me with the above?

Exodus · 10-31-2011, 09:34 AM

Didn't know those retail stores, Ross and so forth get them as well.

RAC · 10-31-2011, 12:01 PM

Yeah, I found $7 Thor figures at the other Kmart today. I'm going to be an idiot and assume they'll go lower, or at least wait until their next 50% off clearance sale.

Snowflakian · 10-31-2011, 12:10 PM

I'm going out TF Prime hunting tomorrow, so I'll be sure to check the Thor and Cap prices then too.

I really hoped that pegs full of the first waves meant that the final waves were still boxed up in the back, waiting for a shelf opening. I'm sad to think I'll never see a Heimdall or Sif around here.

None of the Kmarts near me sell any MU, even the movie lines. Weird.

I've NEVER seen the ones you're looking for. Heck, I've never seen a Destroyer!

They do, but they get the multi-national versions that didn't sell outside of the US, and each Ross has one or two figures at the most, in my experience.

77kustoms · 10-31-2011, 01:46 PM

I am not too concerned with Loki, I am not that big of a completionist, there will be an Avengers Loki afterall.

Well from what iv seen at local toy stores,supermarkets,and TRU, id expect a SHITLOAD of Thor+IM product back from the UK,im not entirely sure the Cap line has done too well either, iv seen quite a few Red Skulls and Crossbones at the majority of places,the rarities here seem to be the Hydra troopers,but much like the U.S the pegs here are saturated with over-ordered product,though the MU figures at my local TRU+Tesco seem to sell quite well......

bmorr · 10-31-2011, 03:01 PM

im still hoping any comic related figures hit marshalls and tj maxx......

Boba Fettuccini · 10-31-2011, 03:41 PM

Thor didn't have comic-related figures.

bmorr · 10-31-2011, 03:57 PM

no i mean any marvel figs in general. MU, IM2, THOR, CAP. you guys are striking it rich with those Ross Stores.

Winners (the Canadian Ross in other words) hasn't been getting any marvel stuff besides IM2, even then it's usually old stuff. It's quite underwhelming.

bmorr · 10-31-2011, 04:41 PM

haha guess that store shouldnt be called winners then

I got tons of the 1st waves of Thor figures but not much new figures, no warriors 3 or sif. BUT I did snag a rare Hemidall from a comic shop, cost me like $12.50 but a lot better then the $40-60 range he's going for online.

RAC · 10-31-2011, 05:43 PM

...Heimdall for $12.50!? Lucky. I really want that, but some part of me prevents me from dropping $50-70 on a $12 figure. I think that part is called the wallet.

Actually that's the Canadian version of TJ Maxx. Welcome to The TJX Companies, Inc.
Ross would be their competition.

Those stores get the leftovers or closeouts. That's why we are hoping they will get Heimdall.

None of my stores have Thor on clearance. Kmart might but I haven't gone there since the Captain America exclusive 3 pack came out.
Target is the only place here that got rid of deluxes. Walmart still has plenty of those. I don't think Hasbro fooled anyone by adding larger missile launchers & claiming them to be "deluxe".

D00MTR0N · 10-31-2011, 05:50 PM

its a real shame most places never got passed wave 2,the sif wave is a gem.

Yeh Hemidall and a large 8'' Destoyer figure are the only 2 examples I've seen in terms of new wave. I would love a sif and the other 2 warriors 3, got me the Chinese guy on ebay to sell me 1 loose for like $2

Boba Fettuccini · 10-31-2011, 06:18 PM

Sif is cool. She's a flawed figure, but female heros in general are a must-have when we get them.
