Lets all help each other out guys, tell us where you're seeing them.
I'm talking to the Arkers in Massachusetts the most, but everyone should play if they want.

Also, let's keep watch for the deluxe figures pics below.

[Alyosha]

I'll be watching. I'm planning to grab them all.

[MADREVJACK]

Holy smokes!
I've been bugging my local TRU workers everyday for these figures!
If you have not seen them deep in the heart of Texas yet, it might be months before we have them in good old Massachusetts. As we tend to get toys last in shipping.
Makes a lot of sense given that HASBRO is 40 min. drive from my house in Boston, of course we would be the last to get them... even the TRU in Pawtucket RI gets them late!

HASBRO: GET ON THE BALL WITH SHIPPING TO NEW ENGLAND! IT'S YOUR OWN DARN AREA! HAVE A HEART!

I got mine a while back and they still had some left. I went to TRU yesterday and there were 22 sets.

[Robogeek28]

I ended up ordering a set online, these things STILL haven't shown up on shelves here. *sigh*

Really? I'm gonna hafta hit up TRU myself

Taxachusetts, btw

[topnotch97]

ummm... they're not hard to find here in Cali.
been seeing them for 2 weeks now.
i've seen them at least 2 stores... but i don't need `em.

[rwsharpjr]

Only 1 of the 3 TRUs in the area have gotten them in.
I picked up 2.

The weird thing is when I called the 800 number before I picked them up, they said it was a discontinued item, and therefore there was no way to check it's availability.

I asked in the store and they told me the same.
EXCEPT that she clarified that it is an 'X' item, which means it's just not getting re-ordered.
I guess they only ordered one shipment from Hasbro.
Hope they got plenty, otherwise it may end up being a rare item.

TRU in Salem OR had the Logan/Sabertooth Bike in abundance when I checked last week. Don't know how much this'll help anyone but if there are some other Oregonians here I hope this is helpful.

[bigkid24]

I grabbed one yesterday here in California. They had about 8 sets or so.

[MADREVJACK]

Hey guys.
Just bought mine in Massachusetts today.
First day they had them, trust me I've been calling and going in every 3 or 4 days trying to get them on a truck day.
Today was the first day for metrowest Boston to enjoy this toy set.
AND IT IS SOOOO SWEET!

[scarecrow]

Not to go too far off topic, but how do the TRU employees respond to the constant calls/appearances?

[MADREVJACK]

Some of them are very friendly. They know my name and what I'm looking for when I call and it's kind of funny. Like I'm an employee who constantly calls in looking for my shifts.

Others can be...more... what's the word that won't get me kicked off the forum?

D-bagish?

They are kind of D-bagish about it, but I still get their names and call them next week and say, "Who is this ___? Oh, hi ___, got my toys yet? NO? When is this weeks truck? Well then I'll be in @ 10am on that day to see you. Thanks _____."

I swear they mutter something, but who cares as long as the little plastic warriors are in my hand. Oh sweet satisfaction!

ummm best way, head to any store, ask anyone who has access to their computer and do a look up on those items. best way is to ask an associate working nearby bikes or baby area.

if you have a set of Item Numbers or UPC numbers, then they'll just look it up and see if they have something in their manifest or ETA arrival of an item. that's normally listed below. and/or ask them to do a nearby store search.

that's how i figured how TRU truck schedule from their distribution center

[ludovicotek]

I got my Logan/Sabretooth 2-pack a little over 2 weeks ago in Miami, FL. They had about 8 or so sets and there is still a few sitting on the shelves.

Ah, okay I was just interested because it seems like they might get a little weirded out. But I'm surprised how "d-baggish" they guys at my TRU are. Total schmucks.

But if you're getting those figs, more power to you! As long as you're leaving me a couple, anyway

[Rougarou]

Picked them up a week ago in Louisiana

[Shogi]

Still waiting for them here, maybe this wednesday

I'm not too worried though, this is a TRU exclusive, they're always hard to find at first then TRU gets a huge shipment in and they become shelfwarmers. Add in the fact that they're tied into a movie and you can bet there will be a bunch on the shelves

[Robogeek28]

Finally got ahold of the Wolverine/Sabretooth 2 pack today that I'd ordered from TRU online, and WOW is it nice! The only thing that would've made it perfect is if both of them could bend their wrists. It's a small nitpick, but it would've made great figures into perfect figures IMO, ah well.

[The Groundhog]

I picked up the last one at a TRU in Indiana. I think Sabertooth is one of the best Marvel figures yet, but I'm disappointed with the Logan. And I'm sad that the bike doesn't fit well with GI Joe figures.

[Optimus Scourge]

Still nothing
