The Dark Knight Rises Movie Masters: Official Discussion - Part 4

[Spiralizer]

That's bizarre. Did Ace Ventura quit his job at TRU and K-Mart and start working at Amazon?!

Ace did start working for Amazon...beware!

 

[Tonymosello]

Went by my local TRU today as soon as they opened (I was the third person in the store). I went to the MM section and hiding behind a row of Banes was GCPD Blake! I could not believe it! TRU's prices suck but at least I only need one more. Still no sign of Ra's though. To everyone in the STL, check TRU!

 

[BatsnCats]

Anyone have any cool ideas for a custom Miranda Tate?

 

[SHADOWBAT69]

TRUs, bare pegs
2 Kmarts, Batman and Bane
Target, 7 Batman
WalMart, bare pegs

It's a shame.

when i come up with one,i'll let you know!!!

 

[mikey1974]

also,hit the stores here for the 1st time in nearly 2 weeks. Wal-Mart must've restocked at some point cause there was 1 Bane within the legions of Batman's. K-Mart still had 1 Bane and 2 Batman's.

 

[BatsnCats]

Gona be hard to make one...doubt Mattel will make it...

 

[mikey1974]

i have an idea of potentially using a Star Trek 2009 Uhura as a base...possibly...maybe...

 

[D4rkShaDoWz]

I'm going to hit up K-Mart hopefully tomorrow...

I just ordered a Bane MM off their website since i haven't been able to find a single figure other than the Batman MM in any of the Toys R Us's, Targets and Walmarts I checked.

 

[sblemmy]

Fantastic thread! After reading yesterday morning, I went to my local Kmarts to see if they were resetting the toy department.

Checked in at 8 a.m. this morning, but nobody had done any work since yesterday. Went back at my lunch break and snagged a GD Catwoman (4 x Batman & 1 x Bane were the others on the shelf).

The second Kmart had 3 x Kmart exclusive Batman so I snagged one to replace the one I got off ebay with damaged packaging.

I should also note they are still resetting at both Kmarts. I asked the employees about boxes of MMS in the back, but the employees rudely told me whatever was on the shelf was all they had. I knew it was bull because there was tons of boxes on pallets all over the toy aisle and I doubt the employee keeps track of how many MMS boxes they have. I guess I'll check back tomorrow.

I also hit up the Toys R Us, Targets, and Walmarts. Toys R Us restocked but whatever was good in the case was gone by the time I got there (4 x Batman on the shelf). Targets had a ton of Batmans and a few Banes. Same at the smaller Walmart. The Super Walmart near me is working on there reset. The papers all say 8/13 but I'll check back daily for a Ra's.

Long story short, now is the time to be checking the stores for your missing MMS figures!

(P.S. I'm in the Reading, PA area).

 

[sblemmy]

I should also add the Barnes and Noble still had an Alfred on the shelf so if you're missing him, you may consider checking there.

 

[adamduke88]

I have a John Blake on card if anyone has something to trade

 

[Sephiroth1089]

Hmm has anyone modded the Bat to fit the movie master figures yet? I was really hoping for them to release a movie master scale version with two seats but I guess thats asking for too much lol

 

[afirewillrise]

I wish I could get my hands on a bat pod and modify it so that the wheels can spin.

Those were some of the best HOLY ***** moments of TDKR

 

[Toro_rojo]

Catwoman came from amazon today. It was goggles down and packaging sucked. Never had a problem with amazon before but I guess beware. It's fine if your gonna open the figure though

 

[DaRkVeNgeanCe]

Ive still only seen bane and batman anywhere in my town.

 

[DrexBat21]

I've actually been pleasantly suprised with the quality of these figures. Considering I only find ONE at a time, its not like I can pick and choose the best paint job. So fat I have been beyond pleased with the likeness and quality of all the figures I have found.

I have managed to score a few Catwoman and I will say that some are better than others when it comes to paint application/likeness but as far as the quality of the paint app... Near flawless across the board. Pretty impressive IMO.

I think Gordon and Blake are my 2 favorite figs from TDKR, and then Catwoman. I'm not a big fan of Ra's facial expression, and Alfred doesn't look a lot like Michael Caine.
From TDK, I think Harvey Dent looks more like Aaron Eckhart (BTW, isn't it funny how in the 1989 Batman film, the lieutenant affiliated with Carl Grissom was Max Eckhardt (different spelling).

Anyway, I have 1 MM TRU 2-pack left, a Blake, a GD Cat, a Missile Launcher Joker, and a Bruce to Ninja Batman. PM me if interested. Will trade for another Ra's (on a good card), cash, Hot Wheels "The Bat," and/or other interesting items from DCU.

I'm surprised by all people receiving poor packages from amazon. I order from them all the time and I've never had a damaged thing from them. Maybe its the warehouses or something? Almost all of my orders come from a warehouse in Indiana, maybe they just aren't so bad at packing or something.

I agree Gordon and Blake are my top 2 as well, followed by Catwoman (GD then GU), Bane, then Alfred, Ra's and Batman.

Went out looking for some of the hot wheels today (Looking for the bat and the 1:50 batpod and tumbler (black) but no luck, ended up ordering the bat online for a few bucks and might buy the 2009 sdcc Batpod/Tumbler set finally.

 

[trey_3d]

I'd like to see someone make a custom "Howard Hughes" Bruce Wayne with the robe, cane, and facial hair.

 

[Bluesummers]

Got my package from Amazon today, Blake and a GD Cat. I normally would've been P.O'd, but I've found a GU Cat since I ordered those. So I now have an extra GD (n/m card), and an extra Blake, for anyone who has an extra Ra's! I also have some ML stuff...

As for the packaging....they didn't arrive too destroyed. But they were placed in a box just big enough for them, with one randomly placed air-bubble thingy. :/ Luckily I've long since found my MOMC set.

 

[Thedarkknight95]

As I said. my Blake came from Amazon with a pretty noticable crease going along the very top of the card. I am a moc collector, but it didn't bug me too much. You can't expect perfection out of a big package being shipped through the mail. After all, the whole point of keeping them moc is to keep them uncirculated.

 

[TylerHaslett]

i have an extra AMC Dark Knight trilogy poster (mint condition), looking to trade for movie masters of either: Alfred, Blake, or Ra's

 

[ScarecrowMan666]

Went to a walmart and magic mart about 30 mins from where I live, and big surprise...NO MOVIE MASTERS AT ALL!!! I'm telling you, I'm so sick of the distribution on this line. Either that, or every freakin walmart within a 2 state radius of me sucks out loud. I didn't expect Magic Mart to have em, as they never got any for TDK either, just the basic stuff. If somebody could hook me up with the TRU Bane/Bats 2 pack, Honor Guard Joker from the Legacy 2 pack,GU Cats, or a Survival Suit Bruce Wayne I would really appreciate it.(I also need Blake, Ra's, and Joker as Gotham City Thug, but there's no point in asking for help with those)

I'd like to see someone make a custom "Howard Hughes" Bruce Wayne with the robe, cane, and facial hair.
