Turtle Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 Today it's Anniversary Friday, aka the baby has an over night sitter Friday, for me so Beer and Wine and Champagne Friday might be a bit more appropriate. I was looking through the want/have thread and saw that there seem to be quite a few people with spare TRU7 exclusives. I know the board members in my locale are now taken care of, and I've managed to help out a few international members as well. How are other areas faring? Ebay prices still seem on the high side, but there are several auctions with somewhat reasonable prices. Are the supply and demand lines starting to converge?

CaptainChunk Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 The TRU closest to me (Olympia, WA) had six each of the HB & Lockjaw sets this week. Looks like these are definitely moving out of the hard to find stage. I left them all but snagged the Iron Man wave 2 exclusives that I needed and a lone Old Man Logan& Hawkeye pack that had been warming the pegs for ages.

Shamrock Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 They've finally arrived in NH. I picked up the last Hulkbuster set, and just like Chunk, I snagged an Old Man Logan set that's been warming the pegs for decades now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah a TRU by me also got 3 cases and all were put out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twisted Two-Face Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 Well my TRU finally got the wave in. All the exclusives, and ONLY the exxclusives, were gone. Dammit. If that's the case always make a point of asking, at least twice in the store near me they had just put out what came out of the box first to fill the pegs and the exclusives were sitting in a box out back. T. Asking was one of the first things i did. And nope, nada. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colonel America Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 I finally got the pack I wanted, so now I have Lockjaw with Black Bolt on the shelf. I'm kinda tempted to paint Betsy's hood and cape white and give them to Taskmaster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cool, glad to hear it looks good. you could save some painting trouble and use moon knights cape and cowl they are already white I would, but I really don't want to spend an extra $8 when I have a suitable cape and plenty of paint lying around. If the paint doesn't come out looking good I'll do that then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elhonez Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 I finally picked up Hulkbuster. Holy crap what a cool lookin' figure. The thing is beastly in size and all shiny-armor-painted. Minimates sure have come a long way since Wave 1... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minimadman Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 Has anyone seen the new Toy Fare? The Hulkbuster and Lockjaw sets are #s 1 and 2 on the Market Watch list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
God Magnus Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 Ah, the ToyFare Market Watch. Always two months behind the current trends. Thanks, print media! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gambitron Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 My wife always asks how many of those top 10 from the market watch I have each month. Usually I have at least 2. One month I had 5 of those. It shouldn't matter but for some reason it makes me smile to know that I have some of the things that the almighty people at Toyfare think are worthwhile.

ChurchOfZod Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 In case anyone in NJ or PA is still looking, there's 4 sets each of HB/GH and LJ/BB at the Lawrenceville TRU on Route 1. They are spread out between the collector's aisle and the general superhero toys aisle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Vox Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 (edited) I didn't realize Hulk-Buster Iron Man would be so hard to track down. I found LockJaw a while back but I have never been able to find HBIM. Scalpers are selling the thing for $35.. is it really that rare? Does anyone know if Hulkbuster Iron Man might get released in a comic shop wave later on? Edited December 2, 2010 by The Vox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hulkbuster isn't rare & whilst current ebay listings are mostly way overpriced ..... they sell for less than $10 a set MIB,an example would be http://cgi.ebay.com/Marvel-Mini-Mates-Hulk...=item2eb182823a .........an extreme example but not particularly unusual. There was a lot of hype about scarcity originally because of TRU's poor early distribution but that particularly beautiful item isn't rare.

Just continue looking at eBay you can usually find a pretty cheap set each month, cheap in my opinion being $5-10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Vox Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 Thanks for the feedback guys. I'll keep my eye on ebay and see what I can snag. I get a little spoiled with my LCS setting stuff aside for me and forget about pouncing on the TRU exclusives as soon as they come out. I have a Legends Hulkbuster on my shelf and I really want to put him side by side with a MM version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Vox Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 I still have not been able to find Hulkbuster Iron Man for under $30+. Seems like this was plentiful in some parts of the country and very scarce in others. I've paid $30+ for a chase figure in the past but shelling out $40 for a TRU exclusive is kinda bugging me.. Am I the only one on here that had trouble finding this guy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyOnTheSpot Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 I wasn't on here when he was out to be able to help, but I'd say I've seen 15+ in my travels. I contemplated buying extras just because he was so awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nessex Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 There are a couple of listings in the Trade thread. . . Here's one , and another, and one more! Trading might not be quite as much fun as finding them at retail, but it certainly beats paying $30+ on eBay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MsMarvel fan Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 I'm pretty sure if I had seen a Hulkbuster pack it was as I was buying the Betsy/lockjaw pack that started me into this madness, and never again since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
