thatblockoguy Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 (edited) At the knee... is there an easy fix for that? Can't glue it because then I won't be able to move it. Try getting in touch with Zach Oat or Amy Stevens at DST. They replaced my wave 48 Mr. Fantastic's leg which also broke at the knee. It took a few weeks for the part to come in, but they were really great about it. even if they don't have the TRU wave 15 part in stock, they should have the wave 48 Johnny Storm parts which is essentially the same "flame on" leg so they should be able to send you that.

boyd Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 TRU order received today. I placed mine on Sunday morning, had the same "wave 14" descriptions show up in my shipping notice, but it was exactly what I ordered - all of Wave 15 and three of the Battle Beasts sets. They were even packed well in a large box with no damage. TRU.com came through for me this time. Now I just need to find the exclusive moose / bat set.

Tenime, I believe.)The Schaumburg Toys R Us has a METRIC FREAKING TON of this wave.I counted at least 4 cases on the shelf, and all I bought was a single Airwalker/Firelord pack to replace the one from my order that got canceled.There were Things, Nuls, Kurths, Torches and Annihili 12 deep across 4 pegs. It was honestly the most stock of a single wave I've seen at a single Toys R Us... ever. I have no idea what possesed them to order so many.If you can't find them at first don't panic, the Marvel toys are spread across two aisles. They're not in the one with the Iron Man 3 movie toys, they're in the one with the Dark Knight Rises movie toys.Go!

thatblockoguy Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 (edited) anyone else get a Human Torch with either two left arms or two right arms. In a fun twist of fate, the first Torch i got had 2 left arms, the second had 2 right ones. Edited March 2, 2013 by thatblockoguy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TM2 Dinobot Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 So, Penance stole Air Walker's legs. If anyone has a spare set they're willing to give up, please LMK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blacksun1520 Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 I have a feeling I won't be seeing these in my store any time soon if at all. There are still complete sets of waves 12-14 clogging the pegs. Not to mention the MvC and ASM stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mystery Man Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 (edited) Miraculously, I got my sets today instead of having to wait 'til Monday like my boss at work said (re: UPS Sure Post deliveries... read above). Watch out for Air-Walker's legs, though. One of my sets had such paint applied to it that the whole leg was glued together at the knee. 360 degrees of "that bitch ain't movin'". With such wonderfully colored assortment of Fantastic Four characters in the past month... I really do hope that Zach, Chuck, et. all are planning the rest of the Inhuman royal family this year somehow. They just shot up my "want" list from 4th place to 1st, beating even classic Falcon out. Edited March 2, 2013 by Mystery Man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onyx_6 Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 I got my Thing and Torch sets in the mail yesterday. They look great. Still no word one way or the other about the Heralds or FI sets.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funkguerilla Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 I found these yesterday in LA, specifically at the Los Feliz store. They were pretty picked over by the time I got there (and the line was ATROCIOUSLY long), but I managed to put my hands on a Thing/Surfer set and a HUman Torch/Annihulus one. And I gotta say, after a quick headswap for something more ready for action, I'm really digging the new Thing figure,even if he doesn't have an ink wash over him.

I personally like Thing better without the wash. The wash makes him look messy, imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heroic Slacker Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 I really like how the Thing is colored, it reminds me of a Toybiz figure from my childhood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turtle Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 I actually like that Thing doesn't have the ink wash. On just about all of the variations that have it, I think it tends to not look nearly as sharp as the tampo'd face. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterMiracle Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 I really like the new Thing. The darker Things are good for a modern version (and reminds me of the old Marvel Legends Thing I used to have). The newest one reminds of the old Marvel Superheroes one from the early 90's and the one from the animated series from the mid 90's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nebraska Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 My sets arrived Saturday. One of my Thing's has 2 right feet & Airwalker his missing the flight stand. That being said, Torch & Annihulus are my faves in this wave. DST knocked this one out of the park. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gambitron Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 I got Torch and Thing set in the mail from TRU.com and my Firelord/Airwalker set was back ordered. I found that set when I was out of town this weekend at another TRU so I picked it up and cancelled my order on the site. It gave me a message saying that since part of the order had shipped I couldn't cancel the order so I figured I would just return the set or trade it here when it got sent to me but then the next day I got an e-mail from TRU saying they had cancelled that part of the order! Love these three sets. I like the wave 48 Torch better than the TRU one though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
