Mirymate Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 Aaaaaah. Those are the thingies that you place in little ceramic trees with lights in them, right? Had a peg extending from it's center? We have a lot of craft stores that sell that kind of thing about. (No actual Hobby stores, but more Michael's, AC Moores, and such than you can shake a stick at) I'll try to track some down local this week. I'll PM you if I have no luck.

mrjasontodd Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 i got the Fantomex/Mr. Negative pack in montgomeryville, pa. There is another one there but i could not find the nightcrawler/betsy pack oddly enough since it looked like they JUST put out the fresh case Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptainChunk Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 Found this wave in SW Washington last night, unfortunately the Fantomex set was long gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
storm 1:08 Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 Well, I'm happy to report that the Betsy/Nightcrawler pack has officially sold out at TRU.com. Yesterday there was only 2 left. Today, gone. So it took about 3 weeks to sell through that boring set. Yeah, I've been keeping tabs on it just to see how long it would take to sell out. And I haven't even opened mine yet...

storm 1:08 Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 For anyone looking for a particular set, TRU.com must have gotten one case in. Hopefully it isn't a phantom inventory item but don't be negative at me if it is or is gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twisted Two-Face Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 Nothing like the feeling of coming home for a day from college and finding a lone Fantomex/Mr. Negative on the pegs. Combined with my other toys (and First Class combo pack), it was a very nice haul day and felt good to get a day for my hobby again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gillbob316 Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 I didn't realize fellow people in Illinois were having trouble, or I'd have said this sooner... I found the whole wave, four cases worth, at the Gurnee Mills TRU at the beginning of the month... I wanna say like the thursday or friday before Labor Day. It may have literally been Sept 1st, come to think of it. I know it was before Labor Day, in any event, because I went to the Bristol Ren-Faire's final day a couple days later, which was labor day monday. I bought one of each exclusive and left the rest. There were at least 3 more pairs of exclusives that I left hanging on the hooks, plus tons of the other sets. I also found the regular sets at either the Melrose Park or Schaumburg TRU (I forget which, honestly) earlier this month, but the exclusives had already been picked clean. So yeah... they definately hit Illinois around early Sept. And if you're lucky the ones I left at Gurnee Mills might still be there, but it has been a few weeks, so... hit or miss. Honestly, I've always had VERY good luck finding exclusives at the Gurnee Mills TRU. This is probbaly the 5th or 6th wave I've found there. They seem to stock minimates plentifully, and it doesn't seem to be heavily trafficed. Which is weird, because it shares a lot with a mall and all. Dunno. Maybe because its so far north in the middle of nowhere? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TENIME_art Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 WHAT. THE. F*CK. How many cases is that!? And not a single exclusive in sight. This is the first I've seen of the wave, and the fourth TRU I've checked. Even the one that was flooded with the previous three waves didn't even have a single Hulk or Goblin. My closest TRU is closing down (to move to a further location, I think), so they haven't gotten anything new since, like, April. There's three more I could check, but they're unbelievably far, and if they're not there...I can't really afford the time to drive there, let alone the gas.

The Betsy/Nightcrawler and Fantomax/Negative packs are warming the pegs at my local TRU. There's been 4-5 of each for almost 2 weeks. I can pick you up a set for cost + shipping. Send me a PM if you are interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dio Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 If anyone still needs the Fantomex/Mr Negative pack there are two of them at the Lynnwood, WA Toys R Us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
