Marvel Universe Secret Wars Two-Packs – Wave 1 – loose

Marvel Universe Secret Wars Wave 1 - Thunderball, Spider-Man, Klaw, Captain America, Wolverine, and Human Torch

A couple of days before leaving for San Diego Comic-Con, our friends on the Hasbro Marvel team sent me the prize packs for the Marvel Universe Covers Contest (announcement | entries). Included was a set of wave 1 of the Marvel Universe Secret Wars line. I took pics of the packaged figures, but it’s been such sweet torture, having them in hand but not being able to open them.

When I got back home, I went food shopping with my wife. Instead of stopping in the store with her, I went to the local mom and pop toy store around the corner, and I was psyched to find these figures on the shelves. Thank you, Talbots Toyland!

Marvel Legends 2-Packs Available at TFAW.com with Coupon Codes

If you’re like me and forgot to put in a pre-order for the latest Marvel Legends 2-packs with Iron Man / Maria Hill, Nick Fury / Hand Ninja, and Skrull / Kree Warriors, you might be scrambling like me to pick these up somewhere. I just saw tonight that these are all *in stock* at TFAW.com for $26.99. That’s a couple more than at Toys R Us, but I’m not sure when they’ll stock online, and I’m not up for hitting the store every day.

To help out, here’s some coupon codes that are good through the end of August:

Free Domestic Shipping on $30+ IN-STOCK ORDERS – Coupon Code: DOGDAYS
10% Off IN-STOCK ORDERS Over $50 – Coupon Code: SCORCHER

Good hunting!

Marvel Universe Exclusive Nick Fury

I’m still recovering from San Diego Comic-Con, but I need to get caught up. There’s a bunch of Con exclusives that I want to take pics of and add to the collection here, but those will have to wait. When I got back home, Nick Fury was waiting for me. He’s the exclusive Marvel Universe figure that you get if you sign up for a Marvel Digital Comics subscription. It’s been a long time since I participated in an exclusive promotion like this, so I couldn’t wait to dive in.

San Diego Comic-Con Mattel Presentations

Mattel has updated its Facebook page with its San Diego Comic-Con presentations – DC Power Partnership Panel – SDCC 09 and Mattypalooza Fan Panel – SDCC 2009. I’ve included some excerpts for DC Universe Classics, Masters of the Universe Classics, and Ghostbusters. The panels were great – folks were pretty excited about all the reveals.

Buy One, Get Two Free Dark Knight Figures at Toys R Us

Toys R Us is having a Buy One, Get Two Free sale on action figures from The Dark Knight. The sale is good through August 1.

You might have different luck in the store, but the way it’s coded on ToysRUs.com is that only the 5-inch movie line figures are eligible. However, the ad text claims that the sale is good on “ALL Dark Knight 6-inch figures.” Regardless, it’s a good opportunity to pick up some toys for your kids, your nephews and nieces, or the kid in you!
