TRU Towson opened up this weekend. They had a guy dressed up as Iron Man... looked cool for what it was...
they had a few Galactus figs on the shelf... my son saw it and went crazy and he doesn't even know who Galactus is! Impressive figure. Wal*Mart Towson has Ultimate Iron Man wave... saw at least one of them on the pegs. not much new on the Joe front, though... but at least there was some stocked as opposed to when I've gone there and almost none were up. Overall I've noticed pretty good stock as the stores get ready for Black Friday and the Christmas rush in a little over a month. My son gets WWE figures and I've noticed new waves hitting on them after probably 4-5 months of the same stuff everywhere. |

At TRU Towson did you see the new ML 2-packs yet (Winter Soldier, Black Widow, Deadpool, Warpath, Hulk and Valkyrie)? Also, this is Marvel Mania Month meaning if you go here: Hasbro Play Saver Toy & Game Coupons you'll be able to print the $1 off each Marvel action figure. Also, the MU figure price at Walmart went up to $8.97. Kinda weird being that you should be able to save this month.

Ellicot City Wal Mart, Target and TRU have nada as of today. I did see the new Tron figures at TRU today. Not impressed. Ok at best.

The Iron Man wave wave you speak of? Is it the comic series one with Mandarin and Modern War Machine? Figures are now $5 at Target and Walmart and only the Drones and Comic Iron Mongers are being bought at this point.

I saw some ML 2 packs but I don't think any of the ones you said. thanks for posting that coupon! I coulda swore the MU figures at WM Towson were 7.97... but I could be wrong. I remember thinking the price was coming down. It makes little sense to me that GI Joe's (with a lot more accessories) are lower in price than MU or SW figs (with a lot less accessories)... only reason I can think of is to cover licensing fees. |

not really too sure what all coomes in that wave. I saw a few Ultimate IM and the pegs were packed full so there's gotta be more of that wave in there. I've seen it referred to online as the Ultimate IM wave.

It makes little sense to me that GI Joe's (with a lot more accessories) are lower in price than MU or SW figs (with a lot less accessories)... only reason I can think of is to cover licensing fees. I went the Walmart here in Laruel and someone snatched up the remaining Drones and Comic Mongers and at $5 I couldn't blame them. However, MU figures have risen to $8.97 each to only have to go down to $6.99 again when the next two waves come in stock for Christmas. PoC is shelfwarming unfortunately because of the retailer's popular character syndrome. Only Firefly, Alley Viper and Recondo are missing from pegs mostly everywhere. To make matters worse, Wave 3 will push more core characters which will cause things to slow down even more. Hopefully the price will drop to $5.99 each before Christmas so that these figures can get flushed out by January and we can start seeing Low-light earlier next year. Last week was an awesome week when it came to finding Marvel toys. I copped a Galactus, Spiderman Carnage (3.75") and Lizard (6") without looking high and low for them. The most exciting thing is the new ML 2-packs. Winter Soldier and Deadpool look badass.

I've yet to see an Alley Viper in retail... but have actually come across plenty of Recondo and Firefly.
anyone see the Hasbro stuff coming out of NYCC? TNI has a great pictorial, as always. Spidey 2099 is badass and will be mine. The Cap and Thor movie stuff looks great and I'm very happy Hasbro is keeping the movie packaging similar to the mainline Marvel U stuff. |

I went to Walmart one night to grab a few things and they were stocking toys, saw the box and asked the employee to open it, low and behold there he was. Price came out to $9.99, but I couldn't pass it up. NYCC had some decent toy revealings. I'm pretty sad that they didn't announce the X-Force ArchAngel exclusive for MU until last minute, so they will probably be a hefty price to pick one up at. I'm stoked about the Captain America series though |

The NYCC pics were awesome. The Thor movie figures look ok but some of the Capt America items look awesome. What bothers me is I have bought the current Winter Soldier and now I find out a much better looking Winter Soldier will be included in the Capt America series. I am hoping we get a Red Skull and an Agent 13 to go with Cap. The new MU figures look awesome as well. I can't get over how great the WW Hulk figure looks. As does the Cable figure.
