My wife picked up a couple of the new Avengers movie figures for me on the way home last night. I got Battle Hammer Thor (Ultimates version), Shield Launcher Captain America and the Hulk. Luckily my wife had a $5 off coupon as the $10 price tag on these figures is outrageous. Let me first say these figures are not worth $10 or even the Marvel Universe price tag and I hope this is not an indication of the price tag for the GI Joe line going forward. Thor is a decent figure but he has Star Wars articulation except for a new hip joint which I actually like. Capt America is a decent figure, better than some of the Capt America movie figures. I did not even open Hulk, he is attrocious and I told my wife she can take him back.

However, I did notice on the back of the boxes that the Ultimates Hawkeye is numbered 5 in the line so I have the feeling he will be like the movie version of Deadpool and Whiplash and will be the chase figure in the first 2 waves. Thought I would pass it along to anyone interested. I have not seen him on Ebay or Amazon yet however.

Wave 01 revision case 2: 3x Super Shield Captain America 2x Battle Hammer Thor 3x Heavy Artillery Iron Man 2x Rocket Grenade Captain America 2x Sword Spike Thor Wave 02: 1x Battle Hammer Thor 1x Heavy Artillery Iron Man 1x Reactron Armor Iron Man 2x Gamma Smash Hulk 2x Shock Strike Thor 2x Shield Launcher Captain America 2x Fusion Armor Iron Man 1x TBD = Hulk So besides Iron Man, Captain America and Hulk, we most likely won't see that much of the many other characters in the flim. No Shield Agents, no Maria Hill, no Skrulls, no Nick Fury, no Wasp, no Ant Man/Goliath/Giant Man, most likely Black Widow will not make it to retail and Hawkeye will be a needle in a hay stack. Oh yeah, aren't they supposed to fight something? I doubt retailers give a damn since this is what they tell Hasbro they want more of. If we get any versions of the force they are fighting against it will be in Marvel Universe somewhere down the line. Plus these are $10 because they expect collectors to jump on it the moment they arrive on pegs; however they'll be 2 for $10 around October time because nobody needs more of same three characters. It's a shame Iron Man 2 crap has been on pegs for more than two years, Captain America figures were literally pulled by Hasbro reps to make room for this line and Thor Wave 2 is finally hitting saturation after eight months of the release of the film and they are pushing the same exact product back on shelves for an even higher price.

Loki is also in the current release as well by the way. My wife saw him yesterday with the figures shown above.

I have seen quite a few of Scarlett and Ripcord.. and saw an Airtight and Law & Order in and around Howard and Anne Arundel county yesterday/today. So if you are missing those guys, I should think you could find them. I passed on them all. I just want to find Storm Shadow!

I'm still looking for a law & order or two if anyone finds extras. And zombie vipers, of course, but that's unlikely.

And your assumptions will be yours.
Those stores get different products from different toylines when they receive their shipments. They don't get a shipments of only GIJOE items, meaning vehicles, figs 7 packs etc. They get whatever shows up on that truck. There is no organization to it. But hey, keep thinking that way and maybe you'll find some HISS scouts some day. Cheers!
