Mystery Man Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 (edited) Looks like it's that same 50% off deal for all Thor stuff, too. Balder set, at least. 36 Thor's left. Crossbones is already sold out. Edited December 16, 2011 by Mystery Man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mystery Man Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 (edited) I'm wondering if this means the Thor that's on backorder when ship ASAP. edit: F--- that. Now the Crossbones I ordered are backordered too. Shall there be no cease to this madness?! Edited December 16, 2011 by Mystery Man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobsterman Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 Damn. That was a f#*%ing nasty bait and switch, TRU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlushyFrog Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 damn, missed crossbones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 Crossbones backordered LOL If I don't get the Crossbones set, I'm returning everything else I ordered to get the free shipping. Screw you, Toys R Us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buttheadsmate Posted December 16, 2011 Author Share Posted December 16, 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. Just hoping & saying I reckon that they'll hit again but I'm glad in many ways that I slept through the latest farce. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirymate Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 The good news is my previously backordered Crossbones is now listed as "Located in Stock". Which may explain how they disappeared... they had a a lot of backorders to fill from the first farce. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webhead Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 mine backordered too. And I used a $5 rewards R us coupon. Ugh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groundhog7s Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 FYI, Balder/Thor is back in stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buttheadsmate Posted December 16, 2011 Author Share Posted December 16, 2011 Wave10 Balder/Thor is back in stock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webhead Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 FYI, Balder/Thor is back in stock. probably because people cancel orders when they get crossbones backordered. Just a thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyd Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 I got lucky and TRU came through with my order last week. And after playing with them all, I have to say I'm most impressed with First Appearance Thor. He has a great, bright comic-booky color palette, the details are all spot on, I've even gotten to like the goofy expression on his face. He really does look like the original artwork.

youbastards Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 Yeah, FA Thor is really the highlight of this wave, just a great figure and a perfect example of how new versions of existing 'mates should be done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webhead Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 got a shipping confirmation on my 1st order that was backordered. Now I wish the one I placed last night fills. I used a $5 rewards R us coupon and I wonder if I'll get it back if they cancel the backorder. It expires end of month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TENIME_art Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 Surprise, surprise, I found two Balders and no Crossbones. I have a Balder if anyone needs it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onyx_6 Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 I checked my TRU this morning and the only new mates they had were another case of MvC; no 12 and no Galactus set. On the plus side, they did have the new Lego Batman Super Heroes sets in stock. And through a weird quirk of multiple sales flyers with contradicting exclusions, I was able to pick a couple up at Buy One, Get One 50% off.

I got them at my local TRU last week and I have to say Thor is my least favorite. I can't get his hair/helmet all the way down on his head. Plus I'm just really burnt out on Thor.....why did they have to realease so many variations in such a short amount of time???

Mirymate Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Short answer? They were just late getting this wave out in time for either the movie's theatrical or home video release. These were meant to be the comics tie ins for the Cap and Thor movie waves. In which case, in getting half a wave each, they did better than Hulk who never did get a comics wave of his own. In a perfect world there would have been time and budget for Cap and Thor to each get their own tie in wave alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really, that's probably the best we can expect with Marvel pumping these movies out so quickly. Frankly, I'm surprised that all three Marvel movies did so well this summer; I would have expected at least one to flop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
