Unless of course you're actually going back and picking up vintage toys from over ten years ago (I recommend the Trainbots, Optimus, Ultra Magnus and the Car Bros.).

Yes I meant TF Prime =) Very nice figures, almost better than the Generations. Selling off my movie TF just to get these bad boys.

Speaking of MU, sad day when I don't even hunt for MU this past weekend and only going for TFP, sadder is when I see revision Cyclops wave and another wave peg warming like crazy at Target. Why isn't Marvel pushing out the newest one yet?

Who knows for sure, but it sounds like a guy who doesn't really know what he's talking about. All the Target stores around me, as well as the lone TRU, have all had new shipments of MU come in receently.

Last week, I found a Havok, Psylocke, WW Hulk, and Jim Lee Cyclops among others freshly put out. A lady at TRU tried telling me that they're not getting any more GI Joe figures. Doubt it.

Managers are goofy.

I heard the street date for the new wave of MU is April 9th.

Is that for North America or Asia?

I like searching ebay for the new waves. When Asia gets them it means about 3 weeks until the states get them.

That's all revision case stuff though, nothing new is nothing new. Still, I'm just hoping that guy was full of shit, and not the alternative.

Yes, Asia usually gets it first and we're most likely to see it on Ebay too.

I agree. When one of my favorite toylines hasn't released a new wave in a while, I tend to get nervous. Especially with what's going on with Mattel's DCUC. Also, the last wave of MU wasn't very good (in my opinion) and didn't see a lot of retail (in my area). I see where the anxiety can creep in.

Heck ya! You're def. right on the last wave not being seen in retail much. Only saw wave 17 at Target even though it's a hit and miss in some local Targets here, haven't even seen it at TRU at all.

[tlasjr]

I think wave 18 will hit target the same way 17 did. They're on sale there again 7.99, and again we get the revision waves. I predict when the sale ends, and b4 the Avengers opens we get 18.

Currently see revision waves at TRU, but I think TRU.com did have wave 17 if I remember correctly. Weird.

[mikefavata]

I call shenanigans on that street date until someone has pre-orders up.

Have to agree with you on that one as well, and that street date is only a week away almost.

[bmorr]

Of course shenanigans were involved. There aren't street dates for MU waves.

Hasbro realized I had a child due in 2 weeks from today and decided to throw me a bone. Well played Hasbro. Well played!
