Has the ML Thundra/Valkyrie been spotted at retail? If so, which retailers have been carrying it so far?

Okay, cool, thanks.  Given how saturated my local Walmarts have been with ML figures from the last several waves, I'm pretty confident I'll end up seeing every figure I want at retail and not have to deal with scalper bullshit or whatever.

Xenomrph posted:Okay, cool, thanks. After a slow 1st quarter we suddenly exploded in ML sales so I've ordered all three of the current and upcoming series (Ultron, Hulkbuster, Rhino). Thankfully I want a total of three figures out of those waves so I'm saving a ton of cash this year.

Has there been any more word on the rest of the TF2 figures? They only got Medic, Sniper, and Scout left before finishing the line.

Xenomrph posted:Wait, how are you saving money if you're buying the entire waves despite only wanting 3 figures? Are you re-selling the rest? I mean I'm no longer a completist so I only need to buy 3, the other figures can go out on the pegs.

I remember grabbing a Captain Marvel months ago because I was sure I'd never see another one. There's a Wal-Mart up here with literally four sets of that wave still sitting on the shelf. I need to grab that Classic Venom and Spider-Gwen when that wave hits.

Scarlet Spider is two to a case so he should be easy to find. I doubt any of the others will be that hard to find. Distribution for all the previous waves has been even and none of the figures were all that hard to find in the end.

I just don't understand how ML's are so easy to find and yet shopping for Transformers is like looking for the Ark of the Covenant.

forgot about Superior Venom and Ben Reilly Spider Man, I'll be looking to grab those as well. I'd be more excited about Classic Venom if I didn't already have the Marvel Select version. Now I just hope they go all crazy and do a Life Foundation Symbiotes wave (they could even have Hybrid as the build-a-figure!)

Kroger/Fred Meyer is having a 25% off Marvel Legends sale right now, picked up more of the Thanos wave at $16 each. No Hulkbuster left but War Machine and Marvel NOW! Iron Man sadly.

Rirse posted:Has there been any more word on the rest of the TF2 figures? They only got Medic, Sniper, and Scout left before finishing the line. Valve was not satisfied with how series three turned out and won't give the go ahead to NECA to finish the series. NECA has the last three sculpted too.

That seems like the most baffling stipulation, especially if TF2 fans are going to want to get one of every character class (x2, for 2 teams).

Valve may have gotten some bad QC on their samples or something. They felt the quality wasn't up to the standard set by their brand. NECA moved on at that point, and says Blizzard is much easier to work with. They'll still make the figures if Valve signs off though.

I'd been wondering about the remaining TF2 figures too. Thanks for the explanations. Like Xenomrph, I find them bizarre.

They announced it awhile back, but this teaser pic means it's actually happening, I guess. Figma is making a Sexy Commando Gaiden Sugoiyo Masaru-san figure. And it comes with a Meso.

Got NECA's Jumpsuit Ripley this morning. Cannot fuckin wait for that T2 Sarah Connor. What are the best Terminator figures to go with it? Arnold or endoskeleton. Has anybody ever made a John Connor? Sarah is going to feel a little incomplete without one.

Last night I was buying ML figures when the guy at the register gave me the the most judging look so I asked him about it and he responded "I didn't see any kids with you so I wasn't sure why you were buying them" gently caress you Paul at Fred Meyer, I do what I want
