The Dark Knight Rises Movie Masters: Official Discussion - Part 1

[Pdeluxe44]

Still nothing at Walmart, Target, TRU and B&N in my area (San Fernando Valley, Los Angeles, CA).

I am Actually visiting the valley for the next week. ...I'm from jersey..coming out to visit relatives...keep me in informed if you come across a Gordon at walmart or a goggles down down cat woman......would appreciate it...I would pay ya for one

 

[BatsnCats]

Actually it was 4 shelves and 4 figures deep. I wasn't able to capture the entire shelf.

Which part of the country are you in? I'm wondering if the order was messed up and that's why they got so many, or if they're just shipping loads of these things

 

[DRK_KERNS_RISES]

I didn't know if this has been posted yet, but MM Jim Gordon is at Walmart.com at this time. There are less than 40 remaining. Here is the link: http://www.walmart.com/ip/Batman-The-Dark-Knight-Rises-Movie-Masters-6-Gordon-Action-Figure/20967786

Out of Stock as of now.

 

[johnblake]

Well, Gordon lasted long on Walmart.com... Did Toywiz pick them all up?

Jordy, you seem to be a fan & fellow collector supporting member of the Hype boards so I trust your take...
Does Toywiz habitually buy out stock to resell? If so lets boycott those ****ers and run their anti fan, anti community practices into the ground.
If that is not the case then no worries but if so lets take back our hobby!
If that is the case a stand against that greed and depravity is a small stand against the greed that has plundered the greatest of countries, these great United States of America! Little guys and gals unite...

 

[johnblake]

Sorry for bad language but we have a great community
of Bat family here and some
things are still worth standing up for. Thanks you all!

 

[botmon]

Just having a little fun here. When I get stressed out, I build a cocoon with my movie masters.

I pee'd my pants a little at this

I've been looking for Catwoman for the longest time! My local Barnes and Noble recently set up their TDKR display but Wal-Mart, Target, and Toys R Us have nothing for me now! Toys R Us may have something but I decided that I wasn't going there anymore because they had terrible customer service. Oh well, I'm going on vacation soon so maybe I'll find one elsewhere.

I am with both JohnBlake and NerdyJordy as i had a very bad experience when i pre-ordered a very hard to find Wedge vintage collection star wars figure for $26.99. I pre-ordered the figure and toywiz.com kept changing the estimated arrival date back. I did some quick research and what do i find on Amazon.com.........Toywiz.com selling the Wedge figures for $69.99!!! I messaged them about this as i was outraged that i placed a pre-order to assure myself a figure and yet they receive the figures and just scalp them even harder on amazon.

After contacting them in regards to their terrible business ethics ya know what they did. They cancelled my order flat out without even a sorry thrown in for good measure. That to me shows that they are stinkin rat b.a.s.t.a.r.d.s and sorry for the bad language. I will never do business with them ever again. And i pass this on to all fellow collectors on this board.

Rats and I preordered a Ras from them recently too! Would it be best for me to cancel my preorder? Thanks for the heads up btw.

Lol, nice!

I'm also unsure about Toywiz. They really overprice their figures and I've not heard good things about the site in general. Big Bad Toy Store is a much better site if you are ordering online. I've went with them a few times and the service is great with the prices I expect to pay. Just wish these other sellers and toy sites didn't try to take advantage of true collectors like we.

Chicago

Well i would say yes cancel the pre-order as they more than likely won't fill it once they receive their cases with Ra's in it. Toywiz.com will probably see how much they are going for on Ebay first then decide if they want to part with the pre-orders they have on file if they aren't doing so hot on the secondary market. And considering how long all of us have wanted a MM Ra's..........then it may be a good indicator that toywiz wont pan out.

If anything keep your pre-order just to see if they actually fulfill the order and i only say that because EntertainmentEarth.com is pre-order sold out already which is where i snagged mine from. Oh and if you want the best customer service and prices online, then go with EE.com. I've been using them since 2002 with nothing but good things to say. BigBadToystore.com is also another great site that a few star wars buddies of mine use.

 

[Sidekick94]

Im gonna hold off on pre-ordering blake and/or Ras and try to find them out in the wild first. If i cant Ill probably go on ebay or another website and get them there

 

[richardp]

Toywiz best not screw me out of my pre-order! They already charged me for both figures even though they said they wouldn't until shipment. Trying to stay optimistic though.

 

[BatsnCats]

Got my end of a trade with batmanofbaylor today...awesome guy...no need to think twice of dealing with him...got my Gordon and he'll be getting his catwoman goggles down

 

[LykanKomics]

Chicago

Are you on the south side?

 

[Dave McFly]

I think it would be cool if say they did Movie Masters versions of the other Batman films I would love to have B89 and Returns Batman figures in same scale as my TDK Batman and TDKR Catwoman .

 

[IamBatman2]

Dudes! Found earlier with my wife bane and two Alfred's at Palmdale, But why is it so hard to find a catwoman?! I got both Alfreds one for me of course and got the other one if anyone wants to trade for catwoman,but I been trying to find with the googles down . Don't really dig the one with googles up. Peace!

 

[DrexBat21]

Gordon hit Central Jersey, but like everyone else, the bubbles were in not so great shape...cards too.
Left both on the hooks next to 1 Bane and 3 Bats.

No new Avengers either.

Same here. Do we need to order from 2 or more websites to get our figs?!

To my knowledge, they do - even without going by hearsay look at the fact they have Toys R Us' store exclusive [Batman vs. Bane] and K-Mart's Batman with the blueprints, both jacked up ridiculously past the retail value. I'd hate to see what they'll list Gordon at. Even their prices on Alfred and Catwoman (GU, mind you) are ridiculous.

I understand why some of you guys buy through them just to save time and money (and I don't knock you one bit for that) but I wouldn't contribute to their sales - ever. I'll happily wait till EE gets them in (and appropriately priced too) or I see Ra's in retail.

I will continue to hunt, but also placed orders for Ra's and Blake from EE, cmdstore, and toywiz. I would like to think that at least one of these sites will not let us down (my money's on EE)

Catwoman is now at K-Mart. I stopped by my local K-Mart as I have been recently on and off, and they had one of the big cardboard figure stands similar to what folks are seeing at B&N. I finally found a Catwoman... only one they had. I got there right as they were putting the stand out. It was in the main aisle in front of the toy department, right next to a Spider-Man figure stand. They had 4 Bane, 3 Batman & 1 Catwoman. The rest of the merchandise was from the kids line. And that was the first restock they had done since the initial shipment at the end of May.

 

[IamBatman2]

I Have an extra Gordon if anyone wants to trade for a goggles down catwoman? just message me.
