Lobsterman Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 (edited) The item number – 646982 – is a good start. However, that's the shared item number with the past three waves. So, if you have an idea of how many packs were still on the pegs last time you visited, say 5 or 6, and they say they have 20 of the item number on the floor, chances are they recently got a case in. From the sound of area reports, there have been a few restocks of the Cap/Thor wave, though, so it could be A TRAP!... If you get a sales associate who's nice enough, you can sometimes ask them to check on the floor for specific packs.

TENIME_art Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 I would settle for only having New Mutants Sunspot & Modern Warpath as long as we could still get classic Siryn. Heck, give us a Siryn/Sunspot 2-pack, and I'll deal with Warpath. Or, how about a box set with those three & Stryfe? Or, what about Classic/Modern like they did with Cable & X-23? 90's Siryn & Modern Vanisher 90's Sunspot & Modern Elixir 90's Warpath & Modern Wolfsbane Six birds, three stones.

Trekker 42 Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 I found, but didn't really want, these guys. I was looking for the Amazing Spider-Man minimates but they did not have those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funkguerilla Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 I found these today in SoCal, Atwater Village to be exact. By the time I got there all of the juicy ones were gone, leaving plenty of Spidey/Punishers and Daredevil/Kingpins on the shelf. Still no sign of the ASM figs though.

Onyx_6 Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 No sign of these at my TRU. They did have the ASM sets, though and they had a sign on the peg for the BOGO 40% off. Lots of the Cap/Thor wave though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jatta Pake Posted June 9, 2012 Author Share Posted June 9, 2012 Found a full set at Burbank TRU. Someone had already claimed a set for themselves. All that's left are Spidey/Punishers and Daredevil/Kingpin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nessex Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 I'm being careful here.....which Warpath have we got then ? As Turtle mentioned, we've gotten Uncanny X-Men Warpath (which is near impossibly to find for under $50 now ) Modern X-Force Warpath But not horrendous 90's tassels &/or shoulder-pads Warpath. because all native american mutants needed tassels back then. (see also: Moonstar & Forge). Heck, give us a Siryn/Sunspot 2-pack, and I'll deal with Warpath. Or, how about a box set with those three & Stryfe? This!!!! But wait... what about Gideon?

Turtle Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 Ten's lineup is good, but with that glaring omission, it needs some work. I'd like to see an X-Force Is Done TRU wave: Sunspot/Gideon Siryn/Warpath Vanisher/Domino Wolfsbane/Elixir Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youbastards Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 Found some of these at a nearby store last night. Here's Frank Castle, modelling fashions from Shatterstar and Photon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WookieFodder Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 i think I prefer the Shield gauntlets and hands to Shatterstar's gloves. Photon's boots look great, although I had to steal them back from my Space Ghost custom. And I also switched in Red Son Superman's face which I had on my old Punisher. Finally, Classic Punisher, one of the last A-List Characters I've been waiting for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPL Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 Found these at the Dickson City, PA TRU today, along with the Spider-Man wave. Haven't opened any yet but I'm sure they're prefect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donny B Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 Found these at the Dickson City, PA TRU today, along with the Spider-Man wave. Haven't opened any yet but I'm sure they're prefect. Sweet! I'll be out there on Tuesday. This is great news since my more local TRU (Middletown NY) has the Spidey wave but no sign of wave 13...

Mirymate Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 the good news is I found these at a TRU near where I was staying while training. Bad news? I have to wait until next Sunday to open them (never ever open toys while staying at a hotel, that's just asking to lose things) as my wife "confiscated" them upon my return home so they could be my Father's Day present from the boys. They look great in the boxes though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellpop Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 Found these at the Dickson City, PA TRU today, along with the Spider-Man wave. Haven't opened any yet but I'm sure they're prefect. You live in Scranton, PL? My wife's from up that way (Tunkannock). Anyway... I didn't even get to a toy store today. So no finds for me.

undeadpool Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 (edited) found me an entire set today my store was fully stocked with atleast 2 of every set i love this wave and i really love the little details like Punishers gun being different than the SHIELD agents pics soon EDIT: Pics The Entire Wave New Mutants (Minus Canon Ball) X-Force Close Enough Tingly Poor Stiltman...

blacksun1520 Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 Found these at the Auburn MA store today. Picked up the Punisher & Kingpin packs, and they are awesome The Magma and Boom Boom packs were all gone, but that's OK since I don't want them. And there was only 1 ASM pack left, although, I didn't check the Spidey toy aisle, they might have been there. It's annoying having to look in 3 different places in the same store for 1 product Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSTZach Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 It's annoying having to look in 3 different places in the same store for 1 product It's better for us than being all in one spot in the collector aisle, which is a dark, scary place.

karamazov80 Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 (edited) I got these yesterday minus the '90s characters. Punisher is great. Daredevil (which I'm seeing for the first time) is also a winner. Not digging the webs sculpted to Spidey's arms, though I appreciate DST doing something different with the guy. I'm not a fan of Kingpin honestly. Just looks weird. Maybe too much was attempted with him. Crazy how many newly sculpted pieces that can't really work for other characters were apparently used with him, though. The New Mutants are also quite good. I need to figure out a way to display them all--damn pirate boots that won't stay in LEGO stands!!! Going back to Punisher, though, he is called "First Appearance" but lacks the white boots and gloves he originally had. And the part swaps some of you are trying looks good, but isn't accurate to the comics as his boots and gloves fit very tightly (i.e., the gloves weren't flared and the boots weren't pirate boots). I may just switch the head out with the SDCC ex. version for my display Punisher--keeping the weapons and holsters from this new guy.

MisterPL Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 You live in Scranton, PL? My wife's from up that way (Tunkannock). Currently, yes, though I'm originally from the Binghamton, NY area. I still have family up there so from time to time I'll hit the Johnson City TRU (when it isn't flooded). Good luck hunting! I've wanted a web-pitted Spidey for a while so I can finally check that off my list. And thanks for the pics, Undeadpool! Now I know how to group my 'mates like a boss. It's better for us than being all in one spot in the collector aisle, which is a dark, scary place. If DST could figure out a way to produce Minimate vending machines, something that could be magically restocked as needed, that would be awesome. Until then, while my fantasy has been to see a 'mates-only endcap, it's good to see various parts of the planogram assimilated by this viral plastic crack addiction.
