DaveOMac Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Very sad I missed out on these, hopefully my TRU will have them. Thought for sure these would be easy to get, I always forget to check in the mornings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webhead Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 just got back from my TRU. Nothing but TONS of X-Men First Class, Captain America, and some MvC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirymate Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Got my order in shortly after 9 AM. And by 1:00PM I got told they are both on backorder. Urge to kill rising... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gambitron Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Saw them this morning on the website, but Crossbones set out of stock. So I went to my TRU on my lunch and nada. Hopefully they get that set back instock so I can snag these both online so I don't have to wait who knows how long for them to maybe possibly show up at the store.

buttheadsmate Posted December 8, 2011 Author Share Posted December 8, 2011 Famous last words............ Recent TRU waves have generally hit TRU.com...then disappeared.....then hit again (big time) & then dried up completely apart from a final flourish on ebay.

stack32 Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 thinking about sleeved arms for crossbones. some combo of the spirit upper arm and BD spirit lower would probably work nicely for a factory paint parts swap option. I'm planning on using Possessed Janosz arms with Origins Sabretooth's torso for a more modern look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImABarRoomHero Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Thor/Balder are now out as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mystery Man Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 I think they've "been" out, as it seems just about everybody's were backordered. Which kills me, since all the other stuff I ordered was just kinda impulse buy items. Bah! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthBurkie Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 I ordered mine at 10 AM yesterday and by 11 I got the back order notice. So, Miri, I feel your pain. Usually after I order the exclusives, they show up at my local TRUs, so here's hoping! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirymate Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Well 90% of the order was going to be placed this week anyway, Christmas for the boys and all. But I confess I was hopeing to "hide" the mates inside the larger order since alledgedly it's "too close to Christmas" to be buying things for myself... or so my wife tells me. So now I'll keep looking in stores... since clearly that's what TRU wants me to do hopeing I'll impulse buy something else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
storm 1:08 Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Well, I'm kind of glad I didn't find them online yesterday. It might be a good time for me to just quit the collect them all game soon. Found out I'm going to be funemployed yesterday morning so it's probably time to kick the habit and just get what I really really want. Spideys and Wolverines and Deadpools!

Turtle Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Maaaan, I really hate to hear that for you, Storm. My wife got lost her job earlier in the year and thankfully just started working again. It was tough times in between, and I definitely limited my collecting for it. Best of luck figuring something out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobsterman Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Argh.. sorry to hear that. Not being able to find exclusives is pretty silly when put into perspective. Hope you find someplace to land soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I just got laid off last Wednesday. Luckily I kind of felt it coming and cut some bills and stashed some cash. Good luck though man. Luckily, there are a lot of jobs hiring right now, well at least according to the news...and my area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirymate Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Ugh. I've been there, Allan. It's a heck of a kick in the shorts. But... things will get better. Always do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
battlecat Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Really sorry to hear that guys. And jeez, nice time of year they choose to lay people off too. Here's hoping your time in unemployment is extremely brief... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

youbastards Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Storm 1:08, sorry to hear that. My brother lost his job right before Halloween but found another one and is in the process of relocating his family, so don't give up hope. On the plus side, I got a shipping confirmation for my Balder/Crossbones sets! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

storm 1:08 Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 Oops. Didn't mean to derail the thread but while it is still derailed... Thank you all for the well wishes. I really appreciate it. I'm not down as I see it as an opportunity for change and to experience something new. I was at the place since I graduated so all I have known was one thing. It'll be fun to see how different another engineering company is. Much thanks to the company for allowing me to come here. :tongue: I will be okay and I have some money saved for the toy/comic fund but better to be on the safe side. Plus, I'm sure I can always catch up later via the Flea Market here. @ImABarRoomHero Sorry to hear you got affected too around the holiday time frame. At least the job market is better than the past couple of years. Best of luck to you too! In the meantime, let's enjoy funemployment while it lasts! Now everybody, get back to hunting! I want more Cap and Crossbones pics! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

groundhog7s Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 The last job I had before where I'm at now I got laid off on December 12th. It sucked, but I ended up a month later at the job I'm at now and it'll be 14 years next month that I've been there. I hope you have the same success Allen (and not just so you can buy more toys). And I got my shipping confirmation for the wave also, which is good since I only planned on making one trip to TRU this month and it turned up fruitless for the wave today.
