thatblockoguy Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 (edited) I wouldn't get the Spidey set from TRU.com. I found the wave locally (Memphis, TN- Winchester store) yesterday, and all but one of the Spidey sets had pretty botched faces- the eyes just weren't lined with the mask. I'm pretty glad Venom came with two crotch pieces. One of the hip pegs broke off pretty quickly, and it would have been a pain trying to color match. Widow's hair just really doesn't work for me. I had an extra Avengers Widow, so I swapped that hair, and it looks much better. Otherwise, this is a pretty neat wave. (Aside: Now that we have two Superior Spideys, I'm reeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaalllllllllyyyyyy hoping in the next Spidey wave we get Spider Minions as the army builders packed with blue Peter and Anna Maria Marconi.) Anyone elses Venom hip pegs break? I want to know if this is a general defect Just a qc concern before ordering. Thanks Edited November 18, 2013 by thatblockoguy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mohawk_Jones Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 Yeah, went to TRU, didn't see them, decided just to order them online (Why is the shipping so silly?) They have gone to flat rate shipping shipping system. I think it is under $75 purchase is $7.99, over $75 is free shipping. Kind of blows in my opinion as I am not paying $8 for small purchases. It has already cost them business from me, I changed my mind on something last week when I saw $7.99 for a $5 item. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glantern Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 Placed an order for the three available currently. Here's hoping they actually send me the correct items this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turtle Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 Thatblockoguy, Venom's I-crotch didn't seem any more susceptible to breakage than you occasionally encounter, so I wouldn't expect that to occur any more than normal. And thankfully he also comes with the t-crotch for the alternate look, so it wasn't really even a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twisted Two-Face Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 Ordered Hawkeye and Black Widow with the $18 i earned for October spending, but Jesus Christ, i paid more in shipping than i did for the figures. Ridiculous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valo487 Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 I got these tonight in VA. I had to get a clerk to get them down, and as soon as he saw what it was he said "I didn't know these came in!!" and he bought a set for himself.

Nebraska Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 Hit 2 TRU's today. Both had about 2 cases worth of The Wolverine & remnants of wave 16. On the trip home tonight, I was able to snag a couple of sets online & take advantage of free shipping. I just hope my Spidey's aren't too messed up.

jjwspider Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 If you're ordering online, there are two things to consider: 1) Use code SAVE15 to take 15% off all regularly priced items 2) If you have a Shop Runner account, you can get free shipping. If they had advertised the 30 day free trial before I checked out, I might have done that first to save the nearly $8 shipping charge.

gambitron Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 Shipping was ridiculous but ordered online to lessen my anxiety of trying to find these in store since my store still hasn't gotten wave 16. Glad I just got my rewards r us certificate and was able to use it on my order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valo487 Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 What are people missing from 16? I saw a good number of them at my TRU last night, I didn't look through them though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MisterPL Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 I ordered as well. I think I just saved at least $7.99 worth of fuel hunting these things down. Series 16 left a sour taste. I'm taking a gamble on Spidey's face tampo I suppose but if it looks like crap, I'll try to exchange it at a store at my leisure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youbastards Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 (edited) The last time I went on a Toys-R-Us multi-store Minimate hunt ended up in a $120 speeding ticket for doing 35mph in a 20mph zone, so $8 shipping is looking much more appealing to me... To add salt to the wound, it was an automated traffic camera, so I didn't even find out about the ticket until a week later. Go *&^% yourself, Toledo, OH.

Mohawk_Jones Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 For a company/store with as many issues as TRU has I have to give their customer service props. I just called, told them I had the Superior Spidey/Electro set in my cart, that it was kicked out during the transaction and now is back in stock. They waved the shipping and placed the order over the phone. So taking the gamble that I get a decent face tampo and maybe my store will get them to swap... though TRU around the holidays in a one TRU city... ugh... might not be worth the effort. If you're ordering online, there are two things to consider: 1) Use code SAVE15 to take 15% off all regularly priced items 2) If you have a Shop Runner account, you can get free shipping. If they had advertised the 30 day free trial before I checked out, I might have done that first to save the nearly $8 shipping charge. Does Shoprunner work for them? Every time I have tried to use it, usually on a newer item, the item is not available for Shoprunner yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
