The Dark Knight Rises Movie Masters: Official Discussion

[LykanKomics]

Every freakin' store in chicago seems to be sticking to the street date.

[SHADOWBAT69]

Our area TRUs has them out on an end display. Unfortunately all they have are Batman figures. $17.99.

[mikey1974]

got the shipping notice for Batman and Bane! they'll be here on Tuesday!

now,just waiting for the Alfred to ship... i ordered him a day later,so hopefully he'll go out tomorrow and be here Wednesday...

[mikey1974]

SDCC EXCLUSIVE REVEALED!!!!!

no pics yet,but it's been announced as a "Transforming Bruce Wayne to Batman" figure...

considering it's suppossed to have lights and sounds,speculation is that it's has that "locker" type thing where Bruce keeps all the Bat-Armor pieces in...probably removable,snap-on armor pieces.

[hoyeh]

So will the movie masters Catwoman be out 5/27?

[ManInTheNarrows]

Got lucky today and had my local toys r us pull a case of Movie Masters for me. Snagged x1 Alfred, x1 Bane and x1 Bats. Love these figures and the packaging. The box they ship in is a bit larger then the small cases The Dark Knight MM's shipped in thats for sure. Funny thing is the store manager stated that they were told today that the street date was lifted for them and that i could buy whatever i wanted.

[ManInTheNarrows]

Dang! How do you guys post a pic in here?

excellent. i find it funny,though,cause i was at Target last night and they have 3 sections of the figure aisle blocked off for Spidey, Joe,and TDKR, with these HUGE pieces of paper taped to them stating "MERCHANDISE AVAILABLE FOR SALE 5/28" ... even the JOE stuff,which Hasbro lifted the street date on cause of them movie getting pushed back. guess they jsut don't want to be bothered til Monday.

[mikey1974]

1 more day to go! I'm MORE than ready for some TDKR merchandise already!!

[Gold Samurai]

So now along with TRU, Target is lifting the street date restriction.

possibly,unknown for sure til tomorrow.

Catwoman could be out tomorrow, but nobody really knows because some places have received a case of 3 Batman and 3 Bane, then most have 3 Batman, 2 Bane, and an Alfred, then some places have 2 Batman, 2 Bane, an Alfred, and a Catwoman (Goggles Down) [Variant] .. it really just seems to be the luck of the draw with who got what. At first I thought it was just a Californian thing with them receiving Wave 1 and 2 at the same time until I saw Catwoman AF's popping up on eBay from New Jersey.

One thing is for sure, if you have a choice of Batman and any other figure in this series - go with the other figure. Batman is pretty much set to be a shelf warmer again.

went to 3 TRU, 2 Targets and 4 Walmarts and NO ONE would release anything until the 28th...( came close at the TRU in Manchester NH tho)...so I guess the street date lift was just wishful thinking for anyone in the NH area

28th?!??! Box says 27th! Bug them tomorrow!

Found Batman, Bane, and Alfred yesterday at a local Toledo Meijer; funny as an employee at another Meijer the night before said he couldn't sell until sunday. lol The TRU I went to afterwards had theirs on the shelf as the associate said they were given clearance to put them out ASAP. I picked up a set for a fellow collector on the unofficial spawn forums.

I was actually going to ask if there is any rhythm to finding Catwoman, but it looks like it's pretty random. I know most of the stores in my area got in the other case, but I might try a store or two tonight if I'm out and about. Maybe make a few calls in the morning.

I'm not counting on finding Catwoman any time soon; I think I'll have better luck in a few weeks.

Weird, the street date for everyone except K-Mart is the 27th. K-Mart is the only 28th I've come across while venturing out for a Catwoman figure.

[mikey1974]

it would be NICE to find a Catwoman tomorrow or Monday. i'm not expecting it,but i'll still look,just in case... really,i guess,not going to grab anything else at the moment. Bats and Bane arrive Tuesday,and Alfred arrives in a week or so. so just Catwoman for me in "The Hunt".

Catwoman WILL be out in force,eventually. they're not going to make a mistake like they did with the Joker..they'll make plenty,and considering she's in Assortment #2, Assortment #4 , plus the rumors of a 2-pack with Bats, yeah,she'll be out there...her and Bane will be the main produced characters after Batman.

I was able to get Batman, Bane, and Alfred today at a mall in Warwick, RI. I didn't expect to buy it until after the official release date but the opportunity was too good to pass up. I'm a little disappointed Mattel didn't do anything to improve Batman but oh well. I really like the Bane figure. It looks a lot better in person.

Nobody here has found catwoman in a store - it is not true about some cases having her. It is more than likely just a few online vendors like bane was a month before release....

[mikey1974]

hit Wal-Mart this morning,hopeful as they always stock on the overnight shift...

nothing.

all pegs still bare. even the JOE and Spidey ones too....

[mikey1974]

[mikey1974]

guy at matty.com,who has seen the stuff in the back at Wal-Mart and such,said:

TRU was allowed by Mattel to break street date,hence why people have been finding them there. no other store was "allowed"...

Assortment #2 HAS been shipped! he said he personally looked in some cases,and they were assortment #2, with:

2 X Batman
2 X Catwoman (goggles up)
1 X Bane
1 X Alfred

a lot of stores like Wal-Mart,K-Mart,Target,and Meijer, are waiting til TOMORROW,the 28th,to put the stuff out ... why? because that's when Joe and Spidey are street dated for,and they're waiting to put it all out together.

hope this helps everyone!!

[WarrenPeace2012]

I'm making my rounds as I write. 3 Walmarts and nothing. Now I'm waiting at K-Mart to open to see whats up. Since Walmarts is being lame and waiting for tomorrow, I shall strike tonight!

[WarrenPeace2012]

Ok just checked K-Mart and they were waiting until tomorrow but the guy was mad cool and brought a few out for me, so I pikes up The Bat, Batman with the blueprints and an Alfred. Now off to Target

Lucky, all of the K-Marts around me are sticking to Monday. Is it only Bats that comes with the blueprints? Oh, and does it still include 1/6 of the Bat-Signal too?
