This sounds exactly like my target that i checked today in gp, tx. Its been weeks since i've seen any MMs there, so ridiculous.

Today I found Doc Ock, thor, ghost rider, chewbacca, Samuel L, and Jango. I am thinking that people at mine are hiding the good one also. Except I went to wal mart

I found Han, Chewie, Vader, and Darth Maul today, but passed on all of them. I'm on the hunt for Obi Wan, Grievous, and Thor. Is Darth Maul rare? I typically see him when I'm in the "I need to buy a Mighty Mugg" mood, yet can never find the ones I'm searching for when in that mindset. Yet the ones I want are in excess when I can't buy one...

I pre-ordered the Ackbar, probably shouldn't though and might change my mind -- over 25 for one of them is just way steep.
Need to go to Target for some groceries, so I might have a look see at what they have there in the toys; Target is usually the best place for them, cheapest and always in-stock with at least a few lesser-common ones.

OP, Walmart has a few mighty muggs online with free "site to store" shipping. Shipping to the store takes about a week from what I've experienced. (If the link doesn't work, search for "muggs" and you'll see what they have available). I also saw this from somebody else's blog and thought they were pretty cool. Notice the "terrorist checklist" on Bruce Willis' arm. AWESOME attention to detail!

I bought my first mighty mugg today as a gift. It as a hulk figure from Target. They also had a lot of Obi Wan Kenobi's, Indiana Jones, and one Yoda figure left. I'm still looking for the Doc Ock or classic Iron Man figure hehe.

Picked up Dr. Doom from one Walmart this morning. I was hoping that they would still have the Thing in stock, but he was gone. Then I stopped by the second Walmart on the way to work and got Black Spidey and Doc Ock. No sign of Ghost Rider who was there a week ago. Oh well.
The cape on my Doom wasn't quite right, it was lifting him off of the ground. I reshaped it by hand and it seems to be working better for now. Doc Ock is a little back-heavy because of the extra arms. His paint job is actually glossy, so he stands out, but not in a bad way, and I was suprised to find out that the extra arms can spin around.
Still need Iron Man (classic), Venom, Hulk, Thing, and Ghost Rider. 7 down, 5 to go... I'm past the half-way point! And Hulk is all over the place around here, so I'll use a gift card at Target to pick him up on Sunday. I actually haven't seen the new wave at Target yet, so I'm hoping to find Ghost Rider there soon.

I haven't seen a Grievous in stock, ever. I think he and 3PO are the only Star Wars ones I haven't seen yet...which is a shame, since they're two of the ones I'm looking for.
If I don't find them, it won't be the end of the world, but maybe I'll get lucky eventually. Given these are $10 a pop, I can't afford to build a huge collection anyway. :)

I bought my first mugg today: Yoda.
I'm new to these. Once they're gone, they're gone? Whice ones are hard to find? I used to think these things were kind of dorky, but after getting one I want to grab a few more because, well, I'm kind of dorky.

I'm pretty sure they re-print some of them from time to time.
It's best not to chance it if you really want a certain character.
Sometimes they get hard to find.
As for what's sort of rare now is Venom, but I believe he's getting a re-print next month.

Pretty much all of the Marvels (except Hulk) are currently hard to come by. The rarest one so far has been Venom...very HTF, haven't seen one in stores, I lucked out and bought mine through HasbroToyShop.com when they had them in stock a month or so back. They are re-issuing some figures, like Wolverine, Spider-Man, and supposedly Venom (in Sept.)
For SW MMs: Boba Fett, Stormtrooper, C3PO, Darth Vader, and Gen. Grievous seem to be a little scarce.
Indy: I don't collect those...not sure.
Next up, GiJoe (Expected Nov) and Transformers (Expected ???).

That's funny, my Target had zero Palpatines. I just thought it looked cool on the back of the Star Wars box.

If everybody is a Mugg Collector, I suggest to sign up for that site. I just traded a Swordsman (easy to come by) for a Boba Fett. Also 3P0 is one of the rarest to truly find along with Stormtroopers.

08-22-2008, 03:11 PM
Urban Outfitters has them also. I walked past the location on Melrose and they had all of the new ones. They're 20 bucks a pop there though...
Why people charge twice as much for these is beyond me. Most I'll drop for these is $15 at a retail store. Only way I''ll pay more is if they're rare (like venom/stormtrooper) or if they're special editions or exclusives.

My local Walmart had the new wave of SW MM on shelves (Anakin, Dooku, Asajji, Rex), as well as a BUNCH of the older ones (Stormtroopers, C3P0, Luke 1st, Mace, Obi Wan, Boba Fett). If these are still 4 to a case, they must have received at least 4 cases of the new MM and 8-10 cases of assorted previous waves - ie, I saw at least 2 C3P0s, 3 Stormtroopers, and 3 Boba Fetts. These hadn't been there long.

Go to the offical hasbro page (http://www.hasbro.com/default.cfm?page=ps_results&product_id=20907) and compare what's on the box, to the figure in the box (and in the large image). The four eyes version has those extra large grey circles on his eyes and the smaller white ones. The two eyes version only has the white ones. According to hasbro, it's supposed to have the 4 circles to match the packaging. They found the mistake after the first wave had shipped, and it was corrected for later releases. Supposedly there are 2 versions of Chewbacca as well, but I didn't look into it.

Buy a commonly found MM like Hulk, primer it and make a custom. That's what most people have been doing.

One of the Walmart I went to put them at Action Figures section. At Target and Toys 'R' Us, if looking for Star Wars Muggs, just look for Star Wars toys and they should near there, same with Indiana Jones. For the Marvel ones, try to look for Hulk hands, Iron Man masks, and bobble heads.

We've been updating multiple times daily showing off all the latest custom Muggs. From Mario, He-Man, Freddy Kreuger, Batman, Spawn, the Joker and tons more.
We've also got a contest running on our new mighty muggs forum (http://www.mightymuggsforum.com) at http://www.mightymuggsforum.com/
There's over $250 in Muggs to be won there and it's easy to enter. Great way to win a preorder for the new Star Wars, G.I. Joe, Marvel or Indy wave.
I just robbed Wal-Mart of all their $7.00 discount Muggs too, so i should be giving away a bunch of random prizes as well.

Seems like either Hasbro are releasing more of mix of Marvel's wave 1 and 2 or Toys 'R' Us has stock of them that they did not put on the shelves, because I saw more Captain America, Wolverine and Spider-Man in couple Toys 'R' Us I went to. If they are releasing more Spider-Man, then those are not very good ones. The ones I saw have lines smudged on their masks. Few Toys 'R' Us I went to recently have Muggs that I wanted, was going to get them, but someone opened them.:-|
Also saw three Storm Troopers in a Walmart on the way home.
Grabbed a "four eyes" Darth Vader and a Storm Trooper today.

mine are in the box until i find a solution to display them properly. Does this ever happen to you guys? Where you keep seeing the same ones and you have nothing to buy after countless times of searching only to leave empty handed, so the ones you keep seeing starts to look better and better until you end up buying it. Yeah, that happened to me today. I ended up buying Doc Ock, i think he would be better out of the box with his tentacles showing. Someone please find me a classic iron man and thing.

how picky is everyone being about the paint on their muggs? i've passed on quite a few good ones after looking in the box and seeing that the figure looked terrible. then, another i've flat out exchanged after opening it up and finding something awful on the back. as it stands, i have 3 muggs with questionable scuff marks of some sort that have me a little irked, but that appears to be par for the course. am i being overly concerned?

I've passed on a few Spider-Man mighty muggs due to their shabby paint jobs. I often inspect the MMs and select the best one, so it's definitely not just you being overly concerned.
Also if anyone needs a Grievous (it might be scarce in your area) send me a PM, as I wouldn't mind shipping one out for any Marvel MM.

And I don't think I'm going to get into the Marvel ones like I originally thought. I've got the Thing, and the only other one that looks neat to me is Thor. However, If they happen to make the rest of the FF, I'd need to pick them up :D

Oh yeah, Thor is freaking awesome. If you see him, pick him up; you won't be disappointed. The hammer is pretty big, and the helmet (with hair) adds so much to the look. If you're having trouble finding Mace Windu, let me know. My local Walmart has several of them.
You'll probably love the next marvel wave. It's got Human Torch, Silver Surfer, and Galactus.
And the Thing is now OOS online. :wall:

Thing goes in and out of stock fairly frequently on Wal-Mart.com, so don't get your hopes up yet entirely. For some reason the Wal-Mart online store is like "the place" to find the Thing online for a reasonable cost new, but the hours in which he'll show up is pretty random and he goes fairly quick.

Then I'm on a break until the wave(s) with Anakin, Dooku, and Revan come out.
anakin and dooku are already out. i've got them myself, and see them at a ton of stores when i go out looking. so no breaks yet!
and really? thing is hard to find? seriously? i see him frequently. one walmart i was at yesterday had like seven of him... and only one hulk. the rarity of some of these figures has to be regional.

you probably won't, unless it's at a comic book shop. you won't be able to pick him up at walmart or target or anything. he (and red skull) are a previews exclusive... which pretty much means you'll have to order him online. most places tend to sell him in a 2-pack with red skull, but some have him available by himself.

Torch and Galactus? I'm in. And Thor sounds pretty bad ass now. And I guess I need to hunt for Anakin and Dooku. No rest for the weary wallet :lol:

If you want to collect the Marvel Muggs, the first one you can get is, Hulk! They are practically everywhere, though I am seeing less of them in some Walmart and Target. The best price for Muggs would be Target as they have them for $9.99. I did see a new wave of Captain America, Spider-Man, and Wolverine in some Toys 'R' Us I went to recently.
The rare ones for Marvel Muggs are:
Peter Parker
SDCC Iron Man
Peter Parker
There are also ones that are not as rare, but might be harder to find than others, depends on where you are, they are:
Classic Iron Man
Dr. Doom
Symbiote Spider-Man
Thing
Thor
I never seen Classic Iron Man and Thing at the stores I went to, I did see the other three and do have them in my collection.:)
