If you can wait, BBTS has it for preorder, so apparently they're still shipping.

Thanks for the tip! Ordered one at bbts (& cancelled my mezco gladiator hulk pre order there lol). They’re on sale there for $23 too!

I usually only buy select/legends in person so I can pick decent paint apps, but since diamond stopped taking orders for him, I dont want to risk missing out.

I grabbed these from the Shartimus Prime review video, MS Gladiator Hulk on the left, ML Gladiator Hulk or ML Gladiator Thor on the right. The MS scales better to Thor imo:

I checked my local Meijer last night and they only had Paladin left from the Deadpool wave. Thankfully I was able to snag Domino on ebay for $23.00, which isn't too bad at all. She's the one I wanted most from this wave, along with Cable.

Also, if anyone has an extra Walmart Thanos, please PM me. I really don't want to pay $40-$50 for him on ebay.

That Walmart Thanos is available from BBTS for $35, They're still gouging us but it's not that bad considering that you can have a bunch of stuff ship from them in a pile of loot to save on shipping:

Saw the Avengers ML at TRU today..the Cap looks really good in person along with Iron Spider ..ML keeps getting better and better..they really are listening to the fans.

That's true. The bad thing about the pile of loot, for me, is that I'd want all my preorders to arrive when they receive them.

Looks like TrU salvation attempt didn’t pan out as they had hoped because a full closure is now likely.

Thanks alot BBTS lol

Its because, kids don't play with toys anymore. Games online mostly

 

[jye4ever]

Bingo!

Videogames and Youtube take up all their free time now.

Only adults buy toys for themselves and most of it are movie or comicbook based mixed with a ton of nostalgia.

Sad but true.

*I never understood the appeal of video games. Played one when I was five and hated it.

I've heard this opinion before and I just can't subscribe to it. I grew up in the 80's with Atari, Nintendo, Sega, Super Nintendo, Genesis, Comic Books, and cable TV, (oh yeah and school, lolz) all of it time consuming and I could still find the time to play with action figures or ride my bike around town with my friends. I think kids today simply have different interests. That and you can now buy and download software online and one stop shopping at Walmart and Target or cheaper prices on Amazon for the few kids that do play with toys is what's killed KB Toys & TRU.

I also don't see kids riding their bikes around town anymore, but that could just be the area I have moved to.

I believe there is enough data to show videogames/socialmedia/youtube have crippled, not killed, but crippled the physical toy market for children.

Videogames are so much more involved today than they were in the 80’s.

Multiplayer videogaming is the new hangout for kids they no longer need to ride a bike to the arcade.

Sure girls still hang out at “the mall” but even those are closing down.

Also remember that social media awareness and 24/7 access to news has caused a shift in leaving kids alone.

 

[jye4ever]

Holy crap the TrU closures could start as early as next week!

Stocks from Hasbro, Mattel, Lego, Fisher Price and Jakks just dropped because of this news.

 

[Reefer Shark]

man this is really sad news for me

 

[jye4ever]

You think it’s bad for you try Hasbro it accounts to 10-13% of their sales lol

Holy crap, that's rough!

I just checked two Walmarts while I was out tonight, no Thanos.
I also went into a Gamestop, no Gladiator Hulk either. They did have the IW ML wave. Iron Spider looks great, though I don't like that he only has "thwiping" hands, would've liked to also get wall crawling and fist hands too, I'll still wait for the inevitable IS with extra arms that we know will come from ML someday. I did pick up Taskmaster, he looks fantastic, much better in hand than in pictures. I also saw a deluxe Ghost Rider with bike, I like it much more once I had it in my hands, might eventually pick one up.

 

[Reefer Shark]

Yeah i grabbed a taskmaster the other day too, really job by hasbro on this one, I love the headsculpt!
