Retail and online toy sightings, hot finds, and sales reminders
Spurred on by the 3A Toys Mann vs Machine Robot Heavy, I set out to look for some NECA Team Fortress 2 Red team figures. While most of my usual online stores were spotty on inventory, I found the TF2 Red Heavy, Soldier, and Demo at Toys R Us. (They’ve got the Blue Demo and Pyro too.)
And, bonus! TRU is having a 20% off friends and family sale, including online, that ends Saturday. Just enter the FRIENDS20 when checking out. This applies store-wide, not just to the TF2 figures. Happy shopping!
I know the weekend is over, but I saw that the new figures from Marvel Universe wave 22 were back down to regular prices at Amazon while I was doing some late night shopping last night – so it still counts! The Marvel Universe Rhino, Mysterio, and Elektra are back at $11.99 a figure, after several weeks of high third party prices.
I’m thinking about converting Rhino into a keychain, in honor of Deadpool. Happy shopping!

I noticed this weekend that the price on my Amazon pre-order for the Square Enix Play Arts Kai Ken from Super Street Fighter IV dropped down to $59.99. That’s down from the regular $69.99 at which Sakura is still priced. Because of the Amazon price guarantee, I automatically get the lower price. Ken is targeted to come out fighting later this month.
Also noticed that the prices on the earlier waves of the Street Fighters has also dropped, thanks to competition between third party sellers. Not a bad time to pick them up – they’re terrific hand candy and I have really had fun with them.
Heads up – the Marvel Legends Thunderbolts 5-pack exclusive is back in stock at HTS. No idea how much inventory they’ve got, so if you are still looking to pick up this set at non-inflated prices, now’s the time.
Regular price is $89.99, but the Thunderbolts set on eBay is going for upwards of $130, with individual figures starting at $25 and up.
