called a bunch of stores... closet that had spidey legends was really damn far... luck is not on my side lately

i just hope these will be like the iron man legends figures and be easy to find in the coming weeks

as for fett, i pre-ordered him on amazon months ago when you could still do that. I tried to warn you guys in the star wars thread to do this!

*Brodie* · 01-23-2014, 08:44 PM

Scratch that. One was just newly listed on eBay for less than $25 BIN, with free shipping.

Since I'm sick of searching, and it was at my price point, I bit. Haven't seen one that cheap.

*Zulithe* · 01-23-2014, 10:21 PM

Congrats on the Boba! Good price.

I've been hunting for a second Boba in case I need to salvage one for parts later or something. But all the stores are full of Greedo and Leia, so many in fact that I have doubts they will ever order future waves... really sad.

Anyway I have a question: to you guys who found spidey legends in store: what did you pay? 24.99? 19.99? I heard they upped the price to 24.99 in many stores

But a few have had great luck and got them at 15.99 (jealous)

*Brodie* · 01-23-2014, 11:16 PM

I paid $14.99. I'm still cruising for Carnage, but I haven't seen $25 on those or the Cap set...yet.

Digital Ghost · 01-24-2014, 06:48 AM

I paid $14.99 for the Spidey Legends as well... TRU & Hastings are a couple of the places asking $24.99. Bastards. Regardless, I've yet to come across Carnage. Gonna' search a few stores I've neglected to check this afternoon.

Good price on the Bobba Brodie... $20 at Walmart for anyone else looking, IF you can find it. I think Walmart was late in receiving these for wave 1 as well. Can't get over what some people are asking for Bobba online... I get that it's a popular character but the scarcity is odd, unless it was under-packed, which for a while I was starting to assume it was.

Very happy to have found NECA's 12" Terminator: Pescadero Escape for $40... there's a hobby shop in Montreal that does online ordering and are very slow to price-match with the rest of the market.

Why this figure sells for hundreds now, I dunno... but I have so many Terminator figures, it only makes sense to pick it up now.

Digital Ghost · 01-24-2014, 05:09 PM

Went to meet-up with my wife after work and what did I find at Target!?!?

Overjoyed. Sound the trumpets.

These also arrived today; ready to join their brothers:

*Brodie* · 01-24-2014, 09:24 PM

Ugh, you're the worst.

Also, a note. Seems like Target did a price hike on those Spidey and Cap figures. $20.

*Zulithe* · 01-24-2014, 10:10 PM

I will gladly pay $20... if I can find them.

Lot of stores get trucks on Saturday... I will call around after work

Sick of having bad luck with these. Hasbro is terrible at getting figures onto shelves if you ask me

Falconhood · 01-25-2014, 07:12 AM

I have yet to find one, too, there are just too many scalpers snatching them up and selling them on eBay. Don't tell me I'm paranoid, I see them all the time. They swoosh in like eagles, grab, and leave.

Digital Ghost · 01-25-2014, 09:59 AM

I wish you guys the best of luck... I'm in disbelief that I even found them at all. There's too many scalpers snatching these up, true. I've seen some with asking prices of $40 already.

My hope is, like Zulithe mentioned, these wind up like the Iron Man legends... there were so many on the shelves, Target had them all on Clearance by year-end.

It's surprising that Target has become a great asset to my collecting, whereas even my local comic shops don't have these yet or know when they will.

*Zulithe* · 01-25-2014, 10:39 AM

Well, I called the Target closest to me and gave them the DCPI # for the spidey legends (easy to find this online, but the number is 087-06-2568 for your reference, guys). Gave employee the number, and to my surprise they actually said they had 6 on shelf. So, since this particular store is 3 blocks away I dropped everything and headed there, figured I would only find a few of the ones I needed and the others would be dupes.

But they actually had 8 on the shelf, all 6 + extra of each spidey.

I bought 1 of each so I now have the whole wave. Yay!

Downside? Well, I live in an affluent area and my Target charges $24.99 each. Yeah. It's painful. But I'd rather just pay the 24.99 and not have to keep searching. Especially for carnage and black cat which go for $35-40 online, sheesh.

To you all who got them for 14.99... consider yourself very fortunate

if I knew I'd end up paying 24.99 each I would have just pre-ordered the set from bigbadtoystore and saved myself a lot of time. Oh well! That's what figure hunting is all about I guess.

Like I said, a lot of stores get trucks saturday so I recommend you guys call around today.

Aaaanyway, the only reason I even considered paying it was for the build a fig (which IMO is strong even if he's not the best version of the character for me) + pretty much each figure in the wave is awesome. It may be the best wave of ML ever. However, in the future, I will be much more discerning about what I pay cause I doubt they can top this wave.

Digital Ghost · 01-25-2014, 11:19 AM

Awesome, so glad you got 'em. I would never hold it against you for paying $25 each. In my opinion, they're worth it and judging by the mass appeal, the value will increase and you'll be glad you didn't wait around, hoping for a price drop which again, judging by mass desire probably won't happen.

It's an awesome little wave of figures... and while I agree that this version of GG isn't my favorite either, it's pretty badass and totally worth collecting the entire wave for.

Be thankful you're not shelling out $40+ for Black Cat/Carnage, which as you said, several seem to be doing on eBay. Ouch!

I too was planning on ordering the set from BBTS but now that all is said and done, I'm glad I didn't. The thrill of the chase and all that. Mind you, I probably wouldn't be saying this if I didn't find them.

Happy hunting.

*Zulithe* · 01-25-2014, 12:10 PM

Glad I found them BUT what I really need to find is Emma Frost so I can complete that Build-A-Figure. I really hope more retailers order that wave. I never found it at retail, had to order Wolverine, Cyclops and Sabertooth online but I refuse to pay $40 for Emma

Falconhood · 01-26-2014, 07:23 AM

GUESS WHAT I'M EXCITED ABOUT GETTING?!?!?!

on Saturday

I've always wanted the original system...this is the closest I'll probably get:

Nice. But i can't get it over here, according to the website. Looks cool though.

MisfitKraang · 01-27-2014, 09:19 PM

Picked up a transformers generations voyager class springer and my girlfriend got me a blitzwing for my anniversary gift and I picked up a monster high honey swamp doll for her anniversary gift

Digital Ghost · 01-28-2014, 01:28 PM

Blitzwing & Springer, great choices...
Were you a fan of Beast Wars? I'm definitely gonna' pick up the newly released Rhinox. Looks pretty show accurate.

MisfitKraang · 01-28-2014, 07:29 PM

They are great I love them, Oh yeah i'm a huge fan i'm currently re watching the series defiantly gonna pick up Rhinox he looks amazing

*AT-Man* · 01-29-2014, 03:33 AM

My favorite character from the 2002 series and most likely will be the only MOTUC figure I'll ever buy.

Spoiler:

Falconhood · 01-29-2014, 06:39 AM

I bought 2 more of those Family Dollar Batman figures for just $2.50 each. I am pretty sure I already have these two, but I have packed them away not thinking the line would continue. These guys are 4-inches tall just like the $6.99, but they are 5 POA not 9 POA
