rx78jj Posted January 23, 2009 Posted January 23, 2009 Hi people. I stopped by my local Toys R Us and spotted a Punisher and Jigsaw Mighty Muggs. I bought both of them and they look awesome. Anyways who here has them or at least seen them and how rare are they. I've heard that the Jigsaw Might Mugg is rare. Is this true? Quote
MiniFiend UK Posted January 24, 2009 Posted January 24, 2009 being in the UK i hav'nt seen theem but the ebay stuff makes me scratch I could get 2 venom muggs and do a straight swap for the punisher and jigsaw mugg if someone wanted. Quote
minivenom Posted January 24, 2009 Posted January 24, 2009 Jigsaw is definitely rare, and can catch upwards of $30+ on ebay currently. The case is packed 3 Punishers to 1 Jigsaw, so Punisher is not nearly as hard to find. If you are interested in Muggs, I hope you at least picked Jigsaw up. If you're not interested in muggs, he would still be good trade bait. I got my Jigsaw by calling every TRU in my area EVERY day until I got lucky. Quote
handsomedevil Posted January 24, 2009 Posted January 24, 2009 A 3-1 Punisher to Jigsaw ratio? That's BS! I'm really starting to lose my desire to collect because of sh*t like that. Why do the toy companies intentionally make it hard for me to give them my money? It just doesn't make any sense. I guess I'll have to camp out at TRU to nab a Jigsaw... Quote

Why do the toy companies intentionally make it hard for me to give them my money? It just doesn't make any sense. I guess I'll have to camp out at TRU to nab a Jigsaw... I think it makes a lot of sense, actually. You've got to figure that, holding all things constant, you will get at least three kids/collectors that only want a Punisher for every one that would want a Jigsaw. In fact, people that otherwise wouldn't buy Jigsaw at all will only buy him because he is scarce. So, they maximize the amount of product that they are moving. Having said all that, I'll keep an eye out and if I get a Jigsaw, I'll pick it up for a board member. Edited January 24, 2009 by karamazov80 Quote
groundhog7s Posted January 24, 2009 Posted January 24, 2009 I'll stand in line for that. I made a special trip to the only TRU that's close and they had nothing there. I'd swear this area of the country seems like the armpit of toy collecting. It seems that most stores around here don't want to sell toys. Quote

Having said all that, I'll keep an eye out and if I get a Jigsaw, I'll pick it up for a board member. You are exactly right. If Punisher and Jigsaw were evenly packed, after the initial diehard collectors get theirs, I would bet that you could go to TRU and find an abundance of Jigsaws. It also holds true that some will only buy Jigsaw because he is scarce. While it's a winning strategy for the stores, it sucks for the collectors who miss out on a figure because of the abundance of scalpers who buy up anything that they know to be rare. To you guys who are still hunting a Jigsaw, don't despair just yet. They have only been out for two weeks, and I seriously doubt that TRU would do an exclusive and not order a decent amount of them. Also, keep an eye on their website, as some people on the MMF got theirs through that route. Quote
ARE-JAY Posted January 24, 2009 Posted January 24, 2009 If anyone needs a Jigsaw, I have 2 that I'd trade for some minimates or Kubricks, just PM me =) Quote
murderofcrows Posted January 24, 2009 Posted January 24, 2009 I have a Punisher for trade as well I will let it go for some needed minimates moc847 Quote
Twisted Two-Face Posted January 24, 2009 Posted January 24, 2009 Damn. jigsaw is now OUT OF STOCK on TRU's site. What was that, TWO days?! God, he went faster than the Stealth IM sets. Quote
minimadman Posted January 24, 2009 Posted January 24, 2009 I was at TRU lastnight and it is flush with these. If anyone needs one let me know and we can work something out. Quote
hypno Posted January 25, 2009 Posted January 25, 2009 I've seen Punisher at a couple of TRUs and picked one up. I passed on the one Jigsaw that I saw, just wasn't interested in him. Quote
TM2 Dinobot Posted January 26, 2009 Posted January 26, 2009 I saw like 20 of them at the TRU near me. I passed on them. Quote
Mattallica Posted January 27, 2009 Posted January 27, 2009 i need one of each if anyone wants to sell or trade Quote
Mattallica Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 ok i got them and i love them, jigsaws 357 is just awesome, anyone know if there is to be a non exclusive punisher coming out? hopefully thats why the tru one is grey instead of black Quote
buttheadsmate Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 I saw like 20 of them at the TRU near me. I passed on them. What did you actually pass on them I was at TRU lastnight and it is flush with these. Quote
