I saw that too, that’s why the secrecy baffles me. They revealed them before anything else from what I recall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valo487 Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 I keep seeing the date March 3, but I’m not sure if that’s official or an educated guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arnim zola Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Walgreens just used this same recall to not sell me any black panther mates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MisterPL Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 All someone has to do is suggest on social media that the recall of Black Panther toys was racially motivated and everything will be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trekker 42 Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Maaaan... Talk about fucking up REAL hard... I'd feel sorry for Walgreens if I hadn't been screwed over myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fwoosheyman Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Checked all the local Walgreens and no sign of this wave, though it looks like I wouldn't be able to buy them anyway. What I did find is the sale isn't making a dent in the current glut of minimates at the stores. They had anywhere between 12-40 packs per store.

maxcarnage Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 (edited) I had them in my hand! For the 2 minuets it took walk to the register I was so happy! Then it all came falling down :’( for all the good it did they took my name and number and said they’re would call when I could buy them. I’m not holding my breath. I this was of course after going to 4 other walgreens! Edited February 26, 2018 by maxcarnage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spidermatt Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 (edited) The Walgreens thats holding my set said they might hear something later this week on when they can sell them. The manager i talked to said if it were up to him he'd have already sold me the sets. On a more Lego note, I went back to target to see if i could get the hulkbuster infinity war lego set. When i got there they were no longer on the shelves. I doubt they were sold, but who knows. Edited February 26, 2018 by spidermatt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homestar17 Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 I, too, found a full set of 4 in my local Walgreen's -- yet could not buy them. They are holding them for me (I personally know the manager), so I'm super excited -- plus with the BOGO 50%. If anyone hears a concrete release date, let me know.

Mattallica Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 same story here had them in my hands but not allowed to buy them, someone definitely alerted Walgreens corporate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valo487 Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 I found them at my Walgreens tonight, and when I tried to check out not only would they not sell the Infinity War sets to me, but also the extra Thor set that I was going to pick up, so congratulations to everyone involved in the decision-making behind this, you’ve not only managed to put product on shelves that people can’t buy, but the confusion has caused people to not be able to buy your other products as well! Bravo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zylek Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 So I wonder if the LCS wave will be available soon as well, with all this secrecy they haven't even been able to list them for pre-sale yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mysterious Stranger Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 The embargo is most likely due to the release of Black Panther in theatres. They want to move Black Panther merchandise while the movie is fresh on everyone's minds and not lose sales of that merch to Infinity War merch. Is it silly? Yes but its business.

Onyx_6 Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 You mean LCS Box Set. Wave would have been nice with Outrider Army Builders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPL Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Back in my day we had to wait until the following February for toys based on a flick that came out in May. And those were good times. If you were really lucky you got one of these under your Christmas tree: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bilbofett Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 I got one, except I didn't order the figures. Even as a kid snail mail was tedious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very interesting as I was a little tike when those toys came out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPL Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 I was an older tyke but, yeah, that was a good episode. I especially liked the part about how they determined the scale, which (as I've been arguing for decades) is 1:18 (4") scale. They're doing a Star Trek episode, too, and have apparently interviewed DST. That should be entertaining. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gillbob316 Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 All four of the current episodes of Toys that Made Us are great. I almost skipped the Barbie episode and I'm SO GLAD I didn't skip the Barbie episode. Even as a male it was very informative and entertaining (and because it was Mattel, had a few bits that tied over to the He-Man episode). Barbie and He-Man were my favorites of the four. But they're all good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
