Re: All things Marvel Legends

If I don't don't find Hulk, Thor, Loki and Hawkeye soon,......

I hit @ 10 walmarts a week. And if I see anything, its an odd Iron Man or Cap. Thats it!!!
 
Re: All things Marvel Legends

I have been looking all over my area too, this is TOTAL BS!!! Why are these not everywhere now??? Doesn't Walmart want my money???
 
Re: All things Marvel Legends

Tell me about it.

Checked all 3 Super WalMart's here, nothing but a few Caps and Iron Mans. Resorted to getting Thor on the 'bay for about $25. Still keeping an eye out for Hulk and Hawkeye.

Hasbro really needs to step up their game when it comes to distributing their figures. Especially since Wave 3 of Marvel Legends is gonna have some pretty sought after figures, come September.
 
Re: All things Marvel Legends

I'd bet it could be an issue of employees grabbing those 4 before they hit the shelves. I experienced that a ton years ago when toy biz Marvel Legends first came out.
 
Re: All things Marvel Legends

Really part of the problem is these are not a standard product like the average 3" toy lines and such. Being exclusive to wal mart does not mean every wal mart has them or ever will, it's not a standard part of the modular planogram like the other parts of the movies toy line, and is subject to not being included.

Out of all of the wal mart's i've tried in my state (and two others) only one is carrying them, and has actively restocked them, through that one store alone and sheer luck of the draw i've managed to get cap thor and hawkeye while ignoring the re-release iron man. I know the store i personally work at has no modular space for these figures, and even attempting to put the UPC into the system to check availability shows it as Not On File, which means it's something that my store both currently does not have, and does not carry, and until such time it gets some it wont be on file and thus makes it harder to look up in other stores.

So unless you physically see peg space for these things, don't just assume the stores not putting them out, it's all the more likely they just aren't even getting them. Even for an exclusive they are not pumping out heavily and i think that may have alot to do with under performance of previous exclusives, i know my store is still jammed with tons of Power Girl's from the DCUC exclusive wal mart wave, and lots of transformers movie starscream repaints that we just had too many of and didn't sell well enough, so more than likely wal-mart as a whole is being more timid with it's ordering. I know i've yet to see the exclusive TDKR MM gordon, and much like the avengers figures i've only seen one store even carrying the MM figures at all (the same one with the avengers).

So it's a crapshoot, even exclusive to a store doesn't mean guaranteed to be there.

On a side note if anyone doesn't want their little grey avengers bases i'm looking to get some extras.

he thinks walmart wants our toy money.

Truth be told, hasbro could demand walmart order 10 times the units, or they would stop doing business with them, and walmart wouldn't even bat an eye.

and hasbro would likely go under.

Not all the Wal Marts are scheduled to receive them. I checked with the toy manager of one Super Wal Mart and he told me they are not scheduled to receive any and told me which Wal Marts in town would probably get them. I found some at a totally different store than the ones he referred me to. I've just been to damn tired and busy to go searching any further. I may just end up buying Loki on ebay. Not sure whether I'll grab a Hawkeye; that costume sucks.

Re: All things Marvel Legends

Wow, people need to stop feeling like they're so entitled to recieve excluisve action figures being offered from the worst store for exclusives based on the number three movie of all time.

Really, WM exclusives are alwasy harder to find. They do not use a simple inventory system, like Target. They're staff is not at all helpful or even knowledgeable, so even if they had a good inventory system, it's not like they'd og pull a case from the back for you, like Target would. I had a stock-worker check for these back when I gave a damn and they told me they had a case, but claimed it would take them over three hours to get to it because of how their stock room is set-up. And lastly, WM stocks at crazy hours - literally anywhere between 11:00pm - 6:00am. It's just too hard to track. At least with Target or TRU I can get there at opening and race the Hot Wheel guys to the toy section, but at WM, I'm not getting up at 4:00am on a workday just to try and find some toys.

This movie is insanely hot. Remember how hard it was to find Movie Master figures during TDK? This is the same damn thing. Fortunately, you have other options - there is the 4" line and there's also Diamond Select figures. Not to mention Hot Toys. Realistically, I'm not going to waste time and money hunting for these when I can spend it better elsewhere.

Re: All things Marvel Legends

Have you guys seen wave 3 of the new Legends yet?

Classic Iron Man, Deadpool, Dr. Doom, Punisher and US Agent as well as Blade and Moonstar. Punisher looks great, and I'm glad they are getting back to more classic desirable characters.

Pics of Punisher, Blade, Moonstar, US Agent, and possibly Iron Man are out.

Re: All things Marvel Legends

I found a bunch of these at my Walmart yesterday, best fathers day present I got, HULK!!!!! The Hawkeye is awesome too! I found these in Gresham Oregon if any locals were looking for these.

I think you are mistaking our desire to simply have these figures for feeling entitled. I doubt anyone is expecting a call from WM saying PLEASE COME CLAIM YOUR FIGURES.

We just want an opportunity to get them.
 
Re: All things Marvel Legends

finally found a set of the avengers line at walmart today, the bad new is it was in the hands of someone joking with his partner in crime "TO EBAY!" "money money money!"

they didnt even take them out of the box from the palette, they just took the whole box with them. probably the most extreme and greedy ive ever seen people act over getting a practicular line ever.

...yah
 
Re: All things Marvel Legends

If you want the Avengers set you can't just stroll into WM at any time of day, you definitely have to stalk the toy aisle during stocking hours...I hit my local WM's every day for 3 weeks betwen 5:30 and 7AM and finally found a complete set about a week ago....definitely took some work to nab them. :gah:
 
Re: All things Marvel Legends

And...?




You have your opportunity - show up to WM between stocking hours of 11:00pm-6:00am and have at it.

If these weren't WM exclusives, no one would be complaining.

I've been to 11 different walmarts all over the state of MD, morning, noon, night and between 11pm and 6am. And nothing but Cap and IM. I know the drill. I started collecting when series 1 Toybiz ML came out. I would have never complained about NOT being able to find them without putting in that kind of effort.

Word. I feel your pain then dude. I was on a WM tour myself of the 5 different ones in my area. I hope you find them soon.
 
Re: All things Marvel Legends

I actually stumbled upon two full pegs of the Avengers figs today, picked up Hulk and Hawkeye. Hulk because this will probably be the only Avengers Hulk fig I pick up, despite my interest in this scale waning, and Hawkeye because I know some people are looking for him so I may offer him up at some point if I decide I don't want him. I didn't realize Thor and Loki were also sought after, or I would have grabbed them for the same reasons. I actually found them at around 3:30 in the afternoon, but at a Wal-Mart that seems to not be frequented by collectors, or maybe this was just an off day. Stupid ass case packs, too. One of everything but Cap and IM, tons of those two.

This was in Kemah, outside of Houston, btw. I've seen remnants of the wave at most Wal-Marts around here, but this was my first time seeing anything but Cap and IM.
 
Re: All things Marvel Legends

Avengers Assemble!

Went to Wal-Mart today and managed to get the only Hulk, Hawkeye and Loki(Not pictured) left on the pegs. They had a bunch of Iron Mans and Caps and one Thor left.

Overall, awesome figures, especially Hulk! Glad I don't have to drive around to look for them anymore. :D

That's pretty much the problem around here. I have been searching for Loki for weeks, but have yet to see anything other than Cap and Iron Man. Persistence might eventually pay off.... but I doubt it. I honestly think the sought-after figures never actually hit the shelves.

That's ok; money saved I guess.
