MINI_MYTE Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 (edited) Who's underneath Volstagg's beard??? It's the Punisher! I keep forgetting that Ray Stevenson (who played Frank Castle) is playing the role of Volstagg. When I saw the hairless pic robomate posted, I instantly thought of the Punisher. Funny.

MST3KFan Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Just found the TRU wave of Thor movie minimates in my neck of the woods. Bought the Loki/Odin, Thor/Destroyer, and Lady Sif/Volstagg sets. For some reason Volstagg's hair/beard piece just will not go down onto his head. The other set I saw on the shelf had the same issue.

jcastick Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Two of the sets are in stock at ToysRUs.com Was quite happy to see them available yesterday so I made sure I ordered them! Now if only they had TRU wave 10 in stock, i'd actually be set for once. Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blizzerd Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Now the question is: where/when can we get Fandral and Hogun? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

winkerbean Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 There might be a wave 2 toys'r'us like they did with iron man 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
undeadpool Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 thats a very real possibility and i actually wouldnt mind that if it gets us more ways to get frost giants, i could see the line up being: thor/destroyer odin/loki frost giant/powered up thor hogun/fandrall i could also see them doing a boxset for sdcc of: heimdall Powered up thor fandrall hogun personally i hope we get the boxset Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobsterman Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 i could also see them doing a boxset for sdcc of: heimdall battle-damaged thor Powered up thor battle-damaged loki fandrall civilian thor with leather jacket and glasses hogun battle-damaged destroyer Fixed that for you.

MsMarvel fan Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 (edited) Woohoo! Just picked up sif and volstagg! {strike]Pics when I get home[/strike] I'm home! I didn't pick up the civilian thor/asgardian pack. here's a pic. Volstagg's head on both of them didn't quite go all the way into the hair. I had to use an x-acto and trim the head nib, it had a growth that only let it go about half-way into his head hole.

drgnrbrn316 Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 For those finding these in stores, where exactly are they located? With the other Minimates or with the Thor stuff? Ah, who am I kidding, these aren't showing up in my store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
undeadpool Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 their in the thor section, hope that helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MsMarvel fan Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 (edited) There were two full pegs next to HMU. One of TRU wave 9 and under it was the Thor wave. They were in the collector's aisle. there were none near the spidey stuff, or the Thor stuff. Edited March 26, 2011 by MsMarvel fan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MsMarvel fan Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 Added the pic, I figured this was the thread for it. I didn't notice a TRU Thor thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrjasontodd Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 I too found this wave. TrU in Horsham, PA. It was a fresh case but I only got one of each about a half hour ago so there is another set left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MsMarvel fan Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 I'm excited for the Warrirors Three, but this whole line is such a disappointment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funkguerilla Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 (edited) I just found these at the tru here in atwater village, ca. And by these, I mean the thor/destroyer pack because it was all that was left on the nearly empty pegs. They were in the collector's aisle. I'll try to check the burbank store tomorrow.

Jatta Pake Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 I found all four packs hidden in my local TRU last night. A few were hanging on a peg in the Spider-Man section. I'm guessing a store employee who put these out tucked the rest behind some SHS stuff near the peg as they were concealed very carefully. My eagle eye caught a glimpse of the new Captain America/Thor/Iron Man Avengers logo and I was golden. Incidently, several of the packs on the peg looked like they were factory errors. Sif/Volstagg was in a Civilian Thor/Guard package, Thor/Destroyer was in a Sif/Volstagg package, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blargatron Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 Looks like Sif/Fandrall and Civ Thor/"Heimdall" are back "in stock" on toysrus.com though they're obviously not entirely reliable when it comes to stock being in stock but I'm ordering some anyway. Anyway good luck people who order em! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fwoosheyman Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 thanks for the info. I'd rather pay a few bucks for shipping then drive around checking TRU's. It always ends up being weeks before I find them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turtle Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 I went to one the local TRUs hoping to find this and TRU Wave 10. What I found was a hot mess. Spiderman, Iron Man, Thor, and Hasbro Marvel U are all on different aisles and Minimates are just scattered wherever pegspace could be found. It made no sense. A bit frustrating as all of the Minimates used to be on the same aisle (with some exceptions- Movies Mates were with the other movie stuff and Boxsets were in the general Marvel U area). That was too easy, I guess. At any rate, there was nothing new on the shelves. I didn't call for customer service, but someone else did while I was in the store. Every few seconds, the intercom would announce that customer service was needed in action figures. In the fifteen or so minutes I was there, help never came. The dude that had called was starting to look pretty pissed. In other news, it looked like TRU realized the HALO line is a seller. There was plenty of pegspace and plenty of product on the shelves. Keeping stuff organized, tidy, and stocked goes a long way. If only everything else got the same treatment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
storm 1:08 Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 Thanks blargatron! I had no luck hunting yesterday as all the exclusives and then some were taken. Initial wave seems to be selling well. They probably will pegwarm like the rest of the Iron Man 2 sets, but I can't wait a couple of months! :biggrin: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funkguerilla Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 Update: I found these in Burbank yesterday. As per the frustrating trials of everyone else, this time they were not in the collector's aisle and instead were found in the Thor aisle. Worse, they weren't even on a peg! They were placed in a row along the bottom of the shelf where I almost didn't see them. Until, you know, I did. They had almost all of them though. The only one that was missing was the Civilian Thor/Asgard Guard (or whatever). Happy hunting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway good luck people who order em! If they are instock on the website and labeled "Sold in Stores", you can go to any TRU and they can use a new thing called the "Store Ordering System" where you can order it through the website and have it shipped to your house, with free shipping on toys (not on electronics or large items). And that's for any amount, not the normal "free shipping with $75 to $100 purchase" Edited March 27, 2011 by SouthFLGuy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
