Last night I was complaining to my brother that I had been unable to find the Borders exclusive Iron Man 2 figure. Today he sends me a picture of one he picked up at his local Hastings. I'm feeling good about it.

I go to target to check the shelves and what do I see? Movie version War Machine, the Iron Man with the devilish horns, and the buffed out marvel vs capcom looking Iron Man.

Upon further digging I find the Hulkbuster Iron Man which I've been wanting from day one. There was a guy going through the pegs before me and when I pulled it off the rack and he realized he'd overlooked it he was visually pained.

I'm finding it hard not to tear them all open and pose them.

I'll be checking out Toy Hunters in HK, is there any other major toy stores I should be aware of out here? I'd really like to find a place with a wide selection of Revoltech also.

Went to Toy Hunters in Hong Kong (official sellers of Hot Toys out here) and everything Iron Man was sold out or pre-order only. It seemed like everything I wanted was unavailable so it was a disappointment.

Still picked up the Revoltech Iron Man M4 and Revoltech Proffesor Layton from shops nearby.

I was at a toy-show in San Jose the other day and the guy running the booth had some blind-buy toys (in this case a tokidoki marvel frenzies) and he was offering to help people get the ones they wanted without having to actually opening any. The dealer pulled out his phone and brought up a map of where each one was in the case. Someone picked out a box the dealer pointed to and sure enough it was the one he wanted.

Does anyone know where I can find these sort of maps online? I tried googling 'case maps' and a bunch of other stuff but couldn't find anything. I'd like to go into a store and just get the ones I want everytime...

I have a M. Bison kid robot and I'm wondering what the value is? Haven't seen any on ebay in awhile and I'm thinking about selling it. Do these sort of things increase in value?

Just checked eBay and theres one listed for $120. I also checked to see what they have sold for under completed/sold and they've gone for 70-100 bucks.

The retro collection ninja turtles have shown up at my 'local' Toysrus despite being listed as a preorder on their website and a shipdate of 08/27/2013. What I really want to pick up is the retro collection ninja turtles Party Wagon http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=20681866 which is supposed to be out next month... I would preorder it but I figure if I can pick up the turtles in store ahead of the preorder date I should be able to pick up the turtle van the same way. Has anyone seen it on the shelf or have any info when it can be REALLY found?

Can anyone tell me where I can find a decently priced Deadpool action figure? I can only find one that's really an action figure with the regular black and red costume, and it's either sold out everywhere or the price is inflated. I'm just trying to find my nephew a Deadpool for his birthday dammit!

I've got the marvel select Deadpool. I picked it up a couple years ago and I've soured on him since. He's still in the package, which is in pretty good condition. You cover shipping?

Edit: I dunno if it's action figure-y enough though.

How much?

I think that's more of a shipping question. Like i dunno if it'd fit in the small priority box unless i took him out of the package what with the bluray. So whatever the next size up is if you wanted it complete and i dunno how much that is off the top of my head. Base price plus paypal fees plus shipping. Shits not rocket surgery.

Someone else posted a link to a hastings sale of it for 35. I was at Toysrus last week and there was a PILE literally of them shoved onto an endcap so you might have some luck.

If all else fails I have an extra I picked up to be helpful, but only one other person took advantage of. If none of the above works out hit me up and I'll help you out.

Sweet, thanks. I may try one last time today when they open at 10 since work is slow and keep an eye out for them on an end cap.

I know some people said they had em near the dvd section, but from the two Toysrus I've located them they were both in the toy aisle (once the endcap of the aisle) where they keep the other movie toys. The bluray was in a clamshell next to them. Good luck!

Are we posting pictures of our recent Hot Toys Dollies? This came for me earlier this week. I need to come up with a better pose for him, but I'm hoping I can get off my butt and 3D print either the front end of a delorean or make a lil clock tower diorama thing for him.

Also, love that the flyer (doesnt stay in his hand very well flattened out) has the number Jennifer wrote on the back.

Don't hide toys, man. That is crazy. And obnoxious, for other people who might want that toy and the store employees who are supposed to keep the toy area in order.

Yeah I'm a pretty horrible human being, I know. I actually worked at a Toysrus as a stocker back in my retail days.

Maybe its where I live but around here scalpers are numerous and really aggressive. My schedule usually forces me to shop early mornings, and there is always a line of these guys outside target, toysrus, and best buy. It seriously looks like some black friday rush on days when a new Amiibo or whatever is released because they stampede towards electronics.

That said, I went back again and the shelf where they were normally stocked was bare. Someone bought ALL of them, and a couple of them looked really beat up. The Goomba I stashed however was still up there and I picked it up for you LiG.

Just as a heads-up, in case anyone is considering buying the Batman or Superman Heroclix pieces from TRU as part of this lot: Don't.

They're way out of scale, not tournament legal, and not competitive. None of us Clix players can figure out why the hell they were even made, other than to appeal to Christmas-shopping Grandmas.

It seems like if you were a clix player you'd already know this, and you still might get it just as shelf filler.

If you weren't, this information wouldn't be useful because if you got it it wouldn't be to use but to collect because of the characters.

Buy whatever you want.

The heads-up is for anyone who's been thinking about getting into the game, and thinks this might be a good entry point - it's ... not.

Well yeah... Just for the fact that if you are looking for an entry point getting something that's not part of a starter set (does it even come with any clix accessories like instructions?) it wouldn't be right.

Good looking out.

EDIT: the Reeve superman is available for presale on the WB ebay store, which I ordered. They are starting to hit eBay now for almost $100 bucks, and while I'm still going to be looking for it in stores, gently caress if I'm going to pay that inflated price.
