The New Stuff I Got Thread Reboot - Part 2

[Captain Lantern]

I haven't been able to find them in stores yet. Just on amazon and eBay. My scarlet spider came in yesterday and he does look pretty nice. Like him as much as my ff spidey. Hopefully modern hawk eye comes in today. Just picked up the wrecker as well this morning on amazon.

Just picked up at Target an Avengers Assemble Iron Man 3 3/4" figure.

 

[Spider-Jay420]

online? or in store?

Ebay, brotha. Wrecker 28 bucks shipped, which honestly is like a buck over retail. 7 for shipping but TRU is gonna sell them for 21.99 probably. So a buck over is awesome. I snagged a Rocket Racoon just now for 30 shipped which is actually below retail so I'm sitting pretty good.

Sounds like Bulldozer is gonna be a while though. Like we're gonna be waiting another wave or 2 before we see him, which sucks.

 

[spideyboy_1111]

im going to wait to see if they hit target or walmart...

 

[Captain Lantern]

I was able to get wrecker on amazon for 18.99 plus 5.13 in shipping, so 24.12 total. I was able to get my hawkeye for that on amazon as well. Got my scarlet spidey for around 16 bucks on eBay.

 

[Captain Lantern]

My rocket raccoon series Hawkeye came in! It's a sweet figure! Wasn't a big fan of modern age Hawkeye, always loved the classic costume, but it's growing on me. The only figure that seems to really be costly is Jean Grey. It's only around $28-30 though. Not too bad.

 

[spideyboy_1111]

yeah... im still not paying $20 for a figure (that's including shipping)

 

[Spider-Jay420]

Yeah, that's retail bro. TRU sells them at 21.99. An extra 7 or 8 bucks for shipping? For a figure you might not ever even SEE at retail? I'm all over that dude.

You can sit home. With no figures. Alone with your principles.

No that's TRU retail. I've been thus far lucky to get EVERY RML wave for the target/wal-mart/meijer price of $15... I plan on doing the same with this wave

Im not spending an extra $40-$50 for a wave when that money could still buy me 3 more figs. Or something else i want or need


$30 a pop for figures i have a great track record of getting for $15 is a bit ridiculous to me. Especially when none of these have even dropped state side retail yet. The Wolverine previews exclusive wave id certainly consider.... But not this wave. Maybe if Im miraculously absent of them come October or November......

 

[Spider-Jay420]

So you won't shop at TRU anymore? Listen, I wish I could find the figs I want for 15 bucks but that doesn't happen for me. I usually find them at Toys R Us and pay the 22 bucks. That's the world I live in. So I laugh a bit when you draw your line at 20. Seems unrealistic to me. but whatever. You have way more figs than I do so what do I know?

All I know is I payed an extra 8 bucks over TRU retail price and my Wrecker will be in my mailbox in 4 days. I would've spent more than that in gas driving all over town to find him anyways.

and 30 bucks for Rocket? That's below retail! Even by your standards. Yes that means no Black Panther and Jim Lee Jean Grey for me, but I'm fine with that. bp sucks and I have no use for jean. If I was completing every wave, then yeah, I would agree with you. But for one or two figs, I'll splurge a little to get them in my hot little hands right now!!

1) i have't bought a fig at toys r us in years. They're also few and far between around here and never stock legends. (which is great to me since they price gauge) When i see one i go like i do all other stores but I've had far far better luck with walmarts, meijer, target etc....

2) you're not paying $30 for rocket. Just $30 for 1 figure. That's $90 bucks for a 3inch raccoon. That's not below retail....

3) i have no room to splurge because i do collect them (almost all (i completely skipped on last waves ult cap) but regardless these figures have not dropped state side retail. The scalpers got them all online and count on collectors to jump on the figures right away out of the very fear of not finding them. I use to play that game but don't anymore. Not after paying $30-$40 for a figure online then finding it in stores back in the day for retail.

I think collectors should actually wait for them to hit retail before giving into scalpers. Its what they count on and its why figures sell out so quickly anyway. Its bad business imo.

Less bad for you though who only buys a small amount of figures anyway though. But for me its a really bad practice i think hurts the industry. Id rather look for what i can find (Im not wasting gas either because i pass several of these stores to and from work) and if they've hit everywhere and i missed out on them.... Then i look online and am willing to pay a little more.

 

[BizarroAids]

I gotta agree with Spideyboy on this one. I will always try to not get ML from TRU unless it's one I just absolutely can't find anywhere else. The extra five bucks I save from buying at Wal-Mart/Target is five more dollars towards the next figure.

Our TRU has only had Hope and Drax for about the last 8 months or so, they just don't restock like they use to. But our WalMart on the other hand, they've been filling holes left and right. Basically got all of the last wave in one weekend.

 

[spideyboy_1111]

im not sure when my walmart will change their aisles again, but i just stopped in at 2 different ones today, who just changed their aisles up, and while it looks like nothing was re-stocked, they've also moved everything in such a way where i sadly do not see a spot for legends at all... hopefully meijer and target will be good to me.

ill let you guys know when these drop in retail though when i hear about it.

 

[Vartha]

Technically Build a Figure Rocket is only in 3 of the legends so, what each of those are 15 bucks, you're paying 45 for Rocket

..... You didn't read the convo

If you're paying the non retail price of $30 with shipping online. Then its $90 for rocket....

30 x 3 = 90

 

[ComicChick]

are there any figures that people are having a hard time finding? i'll help out like i did with those avengers figures
