TENIME_art Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Redundant question: SW/QS are the only exclusive to TRU, correct? The rest are shared with LCS? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeffBohn Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Received my FOUR SEPARATE PACKAGES from TRU (the 3 Avenger sets plus the Valiant set), all shipped from Groveport, OH. 1 shipped via USPS, 3 via FedEx at home. Victory! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPL Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 How ridiculously large were the shipping boxes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arnim zola Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 I did find all the sets at tru Monday night, this morning I went to a shop after a job interview and found the 2 hawkeye packs, now I'm caught up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 I saw these at a Toys R Us the other day. I just couldn't muster much excitement for the movie versions of Quicksilver and Wanda, and I have no need for another movie Cap, Thor, Widow, etc. So, no buys for me.

squonk Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Found these at the Mopac/71 TRU in Austin. 3 of each pack still on the shelf! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MisterPL Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 How ridiculously large were the shipping boxes? What is a box? Padded envelopes! Lucky you! I got this with my last order from TRU.com: All that for a couple 2-packs. My wife was gonna freak until she picked it up. I was kinda hoping they'd sent me the Hot Toys Hulkbuster by mistake. Then I sobered up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zexion_Armando Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 I got them mostly because I wanted Widow.Picked up a Pietro and Wanda set, but I'll probably just give that to my little brother. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mnemosis Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Toys R Us supplies a handful of shipping boxes at the store level, and none are the right size for anything. I would repeatedly cut and tape two of a box together to get a better fit. If you ordered anything that didn't fit in an envelope, the next size up was a box fit for a microwave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bilbofett Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 So is the comic book wave hitting online stores or just local comic shops? Atomic Empire(has brick and mortar store) have these in stock, but Luke has them listed for the 29th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MINI_MYTE Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 (edited) So is the comic book wave hitting online stores or just local comic shops? Atomic Empire(has brick and mortar store) have these in stock, but Luke has them listed for the 29th. Comic shops got in the regular case (1 x Winter Ops Hawkeye). Luke is more than likely getting in custom / god cases on the 29th (3 x Winter Ops Hawkeye). Somebody correct me if I'm wrong.

MisterPL Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Got my LCS set yesterday. Everyone looks great with two exceptions. I know it's cheaper to reuse the existing Iron Man parts but those parts suck. I was hoping the shoulders and/or chest piece would be modified to allow for a full range of motion. As it is, Tony's arms are either at his side or over his head. There's no middle ground. Ultron looks wee. I won't beat the dead horse that is "Gee, it sure would be swell if we could have a 2.5" body for larger characters" so I'll just say that this figure really could have benefited from sculpted bits. A waist riser. Something. This is an 8-foot-tall character who towers over every Avenger except Hulk. Ultron seems scrawny. The only QC issue I had was that Hawkeye's legs were assembled backwards but thanks to the wonderfully interchangable nature of the product, it was an easy fix. All paints apps looked fine. Overall this is a decent wave of largely redundant characters ideal for newcomers and completists. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zylek Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 (edited) Are the singles supposed to hit soon? I bought a case from Luke and can't wait to crack them open! From the looks of Hot Toy's AoU War Machine it looks like we already have an AoU minimate of him, he looks just like the IM3 Mk 2 Edited April 9, 2015 by Zylek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nebraska Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 My TRU sets arrived on Tuesday in separate padded envelops. The QC isn't nearly as good as wave 19, but it's not terrible. I had to mix & match 2 Quicksilvers to Frankenstein one I was happy w/though. And neither of my Caps have the "A" on his mask lined up correctly. One little neat surprise was Scarlet Witch's jewelry painted on her hands. They are pretty faint, but she is wearing gold rings & bracelets. Pretty cool.

This will be the penultimate time that I will move my stuff . That picture made me laugh because it's not far from the truth , I have made plans to give everything a final home before I start trimming it down . I'm 60 & I have tons of crap collectable stuff ............ example : I still have comics that I bought when I was 7 years old ...... a massive [ worthless ] X-Files collection.......quite why I do not know but it's all going once I've settled it into its new home in a few months time. Then I'll take a picture .....then you'll laugh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glantern Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 I haven't had a chance to get to my LCS for the specialty wave yet, which is bugging me. Also, my Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch have supposedly been out for delivery since Tuesday morning. Not sure what's going on there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
