sha_ckwave Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 They decide to skip a wave or something? This unusual website delay wouldn't be so much of an issue if they hadn't skipped sending the new wave to the NY metro/tri-state area and all of New England... So far anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zexion_Armando Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 There are around 8 of each at mine Same here. No Ultron or Hydra good sets, just a peg full of Falcon and Absorbing Man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pappymojo Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 At least there's hope that an absorbing man might turn up in Boston yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninja Mate Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 My TRU is cleaned out of almost all mates. only a few wolverine sets and some street fighter packs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gillbob316 Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 I'm guessing the reason these haven't shown up on the website is thesame reason they've been ringing up for $5 or less at the retailstores...They share a SKU in Toys R Us' system with TRU Wave17... if you actually look at your receipt, they ring up as Wave 17...which is why (I assume) they ring up at clearance prices despite beingbrand new. And likely the reason they're not on the website...Because for all intents and purposes... as far as the TRU computer system is concerned, they ARE on the website (IE. Wave 17 is)I really don't think Toys R Us INTENDS to be selling Wave 18 for dirt cheap clearance prices, I think it's just an oversight that no one who fixes these things over at TRU headquarters has bothered to notice.

Glantern Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 I finally found the remnants of this wave at my local TRU. They had everyone but Winter Soldier/Hydra Elite. I've reviewed two of the sets over at The Figure in Question: Thor & Absorbing Man Wolverine & Ultron Drone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
undeadpool Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 i could still use some help getting a WS set and multiple Ultron sets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sha_ckwave Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 So almost 7 weeks since first sightings and still nothing out of the NJ distribution center (meaning nothing for greater-NY area or New England) and still nothing on the website. Are we seeing the signs of another Swordsman wave here? Don't even want to look at ebay, but I'm starting to get tempted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are the tomb raider sets in the same northeast limbo or is that a coincidence? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sha_ckwave Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Ive not seen them in NE but I believe I've seen reports of them in the NY/NJ area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rikfenix Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 (edited) Nothin here in Queens so far, not in Times Square either as of a few weeks ago.. Edited March 6, 2014 by rikfenix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigvis497 Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 (edited) Nothing in the New Hartford NY or Clay NY TRU's. Weird because a month ago there was an entire case of wave 13 brand new, tons of wave 16, tons of Walking Dead, tons of Tekken x Street Fighter, some Wave 17. Now there's nothing. I'm 90% sure that they didn't sell those. Star Trek Minimates have their own pegs, but all of the other Minimates are stored separate from everything else. There's like 2 Wolverine/Reaper, a couple Hawkeye/Widow, a Taskmaster, and a couple Street Fighters left. I'm worried that my TRU won't be getting Minimates anymore. This sucks. EDIT: And it would be nice if somebody somewhere knew something. Nobody knows if these will be on the website, nobody knows if these are discontinued at certain stores, nobody knows anything. It's really annoying, I want to give TRU my money for these and I can't. Edited March 6, 2014 by bigvis497 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glantern Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 I was killing time in my closest TRU, and it appears they had a restock of this wave. Only one Winter Soldier/Hydra Elite set was left, but I was happy to get one at all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zombie Shakespeare Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Nothing in Albany, NY, but oddly enough they had a full case of Wave 50 . When I went to check out, they didn't register and the cashier was really flummoxed. His supervisor came over and seemed to just take my word for it that they were $4.

viciousvink Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 I was able to pick up a set in florida, and they have restocked, I will see if I can pick up an extra set this weekend if they are still there if anyone is interested Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strider Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Wow. I kept checking the one near me in north florida but neve rsaw them so I gave up looking. Looks like I might need to try to stop in this week again. Really only need absobing man now since I already caved and bought a loose Winter Soldier for $5.

MST3KFan Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Someone really hit my nearby TRU for the Marvel Minimates recently. Used to have a lot of sets and now pretty much all the wave 18 and 17 stuff it had after I bought my copies is long gone. I have to assume it was one person that did it, too. They weren't moving for weeks and I check my local TRU once a week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blacksun1520 Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 I have still yet to see these hit in Mass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigvis497 Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 still nothing at three different TRU stores in upstate NY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronan The Accuser Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 Add Western PA to the list of "stores that TRU forgot". Never seen a remnant of the wave in any store and i've checked a ton. When the TRU sale started and these were starting to show up I covered huge areas, even crossing into Ohio trying to find them. Never saw a thing. After a month of that I scaled the search back to local stores and still found nothing. This week I decided not to check at all. I picked up a WS and Absorbing Man loose on e-bay and i'll wait patiently to see if the rest ever show in a local store. Same with the "rumored" Tomb Raider line, never seen one in the wild. Anyone else prefer Creel without the bulked up pieces? Appreciate the fact that we've got both options but i like the smaller look myself. Winter Soldier looks great, love the color blue they used for his outfit. If classic Blizzard ever gets made I hope they use that shade.

DSTZach Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 I have still yet to see these hit in Mass As BHM would say, it seems nobody has seen them hit "en masse." Le zing! Trying to figure out if the Website has these or not. It's complicated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sha_ckwave Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 Thanks for checking in to it Zach. I'd gladly pay full price to TRU for these things... if they were somehow available to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
