If you go to the SDCC thread, you can probably find another goon going to the show who might be willing to try and snag one for you.
Thanks for the tip, I'll do that!

Had to almost cut my hand off from impulsively buying the re-released 80s turtles along with Shredder in his cheap cloth outfit. $10.99 each isn't too bad but I dont NEED them. :smith:

I must have completely missed it, then. Was it during SDCC? What days is SDCC this year?

Follow them on Twitter or FB, what they would do is usually either at the beginning of the show for that day they will announce the exclusives are for sale at the shop. They usually leave them up for about 45 mins. If I see it I'll be sure to post here as well.

This year is is July 24th - 27th.

And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him.
Finally bit the bullet and bought one of these off eBay. Now I wait for its arrival.

Yup. All three Targets locally have had a Star Lord and Iron Man left on the pegs. TRU had them and a Drax.

Oh yes. But I've only been able to pick up Star Lord. I saw a Drax and Gamora once, and came back an hour later and they were gone. Hopefully they'll release another wave sometime soon.

I saw the whole GOTG wave sans Rocket at TRU the other day and the next day all but a couple Iron Men and Star Lord were gone. I should've picked up Nova for one of you.

It seems like GotG toys (including Legends) are going to be flooding shelves closer to the release date but maybe that's wishful thinking on my part.

From what I heard they played it safe with their production, so unless they start shipping refresher cases these may be a bit hard to come by if already gone.

It's a weird wave for me because I kind of want some of them, and I'd like to have a Groot, but I'm not going to spend much time hunting and I'm not paying a premium for any of them. Also, even if I did find the full wave at retail, I may just go "ehhhh I should leave these for a bigger fan" like I did with the previous Rocket Raccoon wave.

Any idea when Magneto and the rest of they TRU exclusive x-men legends will be available again? I'm assuming they'll be back on the site for preorder again some time between now and September?

There are a bunch of guardians on amazon prime right now, including Nova, if you are willing to risk being shipped some googly eyed derplord.

Those cheap X-Men will undoubtedly be canceled. Contact your local comic shop as that series is scheduled to be the first of the individually offered figures.

I decided to spring for one of those KO ML Deadpools from China and it's great. The plastic quality seems about equal in terms of weight/strength, the paint apps are good, all the joints work well. The downside: he stinks. Like, really, really stinks. I tried giving it a good washing with soap and water, but he just keeps on stinkin. My best guess is that the plastic is recycled horribleness, or there was a ratio off in the plastic formulation, or something. But holy moly he stinks like crazy.

I saw the new movie 'Ninja Turtles' at Target today and holy hell are they bad. I think someone already said this, but Raphael is the only half-decent one, and that's because he's standing up straight. The others all look like the hunchback of Notre Dame. The trailers kinda had that look at times, but then there were other scenes where they (Leonardo especially) stood up straight and looked much less derpy. Nope, the figures are full-on hunchback and just look super crappy in general.

Also odd, they were just mixed in with the Nickelodeon TMNT figures helter skelter. Maybe that was just my Target being lazy.

With SDCC coming up, I'm curious for those of you that don't go, prefer to pay people to mule items for you or to try to just buy them on like eBay or the companies website. I'm looking to get 2 items and wondering what kind of markup I'm looking at.

This it guys. ROM: Spaceknight is coming back. Hasbro and Marvel worked it out. They're gonna do a Miracleman style reprint of ROM: Spaceknight, a new ROM ongoing and a ROM team-up ongoing. ROM is gonna be in Guardians of the Galaxy to set up a stand-alone ROM movie.

I wish. Hasbro and Marvel hate each other.

Also, I'll probably buy the Thanos Infinity set that has Gladiator in it but only want Gladiator if anybody else is interested in the others.

I dunno if you ever saw my response but if you do get that set I still want that Starlord.

Looking to get the Kidrobot 7 in. Rocksteady and Bebop SDCC exclusives. From what I've seen KR isn't going to have their own booth, others are going to sell for them.

So I would assume it would be the Nickelodeon and Viacom booths?

Yeah, they will be at the nickelodeon booth. http://www.figures.com/forums/news/59322-nickelodeon-comic-con-san-diego.html

I'm very interested in that Mirage-style Raphael though, I wonder if this means a full set of Mirage-style (red bandannas, two toes, tails, etc...) color turtles in the future.

I'd be surprised if Playmates ever actually makes any of the other turtles in this style. They don't have a good track record with one-off SDCC stuff.
