[thePhildown]

It figures Darth Revan would go in and back out of stock while I'm at work.. :(

[hopeunknown]

Swansea, MA Toys R Us still has one more TRU Exclusive Punisher for 10.99. The Mugg had a slight mark on it though. I picked up one of the last two for my friend who collects. :)

[BigHow]

Yet another wave of SW Muggs goes retailer exclusive: http://jediinsider.com/index.php?catid=8&itemid=11517

This time, it's the Wicket/Wampa/Emperor's Guard/Qui-Gon wave that's an internet retailer exclusive. I can see doing Red Skull/Thanos as an exclusive, as they're relatively obscure characters and one is a Nazi. And I can see doing the last two Indy Muggs as exclusives, since the line was pretty much dead in the water. But I don't understand why a wave of fairly mainstream characters is being pushed as an exclusive. Unless the collectibles market is taking a bigger hit than we even know.

[dg7md]

Well if anybody is looking to buy or trade muggs, I have a Jango, Vader V1, 2 C-3POs, a Baroness, and a Vision with a dent in the bottom of the box (going to return it if nobody really wants it).

Whoa, you got a Baroness? How'd you manage that? Not looking to trade but curious to how you got a Baroness already and might be interested in buying if I see the box condition and all that. Lemme know here or PM!

[yosh]

Hey I just bought the 2 face one and I don't want the first version anymore because I find it redundant lol. Would you like to buy it from me? I was going to sell it on ebay but I might as well offer it to you first if you really want it. You can check my feedback at http://mightymuggslounge.proboards80.com/index.cgi? under the name Yosh.

I have both and they are slightly different, main thing being the chest piece is different.

[etcrane]

Am I the only one who thinks the new pricing for these is kind of a rip off ... I was there from the start buying them when they were reasonably priced ... but 10.99 ... come on ... these aren't worth $10.99 ... especially since the economy continues to slide as the price of toys increases. There's just no way for me to justify the cost anymore ... they still look cool ... but considering they don't "do" anything ... just can't do it. Well, at least not for the one's in stores, maybe the Comic Con exclusives will still be worth it at 15 or so.

[LinkinPrime]

Most of us have been taking advantage over Target's temporary price cut of $8.99 per Mugg. $10.99 is just $1 above what they were before...yeah it sucks but $1 won't make me quit collecting them yet.

[supermodestmouse]

anyone know how much longer they'll be at 8.99? i keep buying becuase they're that price...but don't know how much longer it'll last! >.<

[LinkinPrime]

I keep forgetting to check the price tag...I believe it's mid February.

[Kerig]

Definitely mid to late February. I recall seeing something between 21st-23rd.

I know my Target is holding back their stock now, after I bought Wolverine there was only one of him left, then a few days later there were two again, with nothing else added. I'll have to find a geeky employee to see about finding me a shock trooper...

[Animal7390]

target uses the same item numbers for the different lines of muggs ie star wars, ij, joe, marvel. if someone would be nice enough to post the numbers from the receipts and who they bought on that receipt then it might help alot.

indiana jones - 087-06-0950 - mola ram and swordsman
marvel - 087-06-0187 - silver iron man

also here: http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/universe-classics-20-29/target-dpci-reveals-transformers-universe-mighty-muggs-165300/
they have a listing for the transformers muggs dcpi number. 087-06-2077

[FluxDF]

I want to say it's the 9th.

I got a baroness and destro at a local target. They're the only ones I've seen so far, which is why I'm only interested in getting rid of the baroness (I like destro and want to keep one). The box is perfect.

I've since traded off the Vader though, I still have a Jango, 2 C-3POs, and the baroness.

[Vulcan2422]

Sadly enough, the Mugg's have worn there welcome as the last one I collected was Punisher's and Jigsaws. But I will be trading/selling off almost all except for a couple. Look for a post soon!

[HydroX]

I bought one of these awhile ago for my now-ex .. she loves the Hulk, so I picked one up for her. Kind of wish I took it back when we broke up, 'cause they are awesome.

I really want one of those Iron Man ones though.. with the new look Iron Man though. Go figure that it's rare and like, $60+ on eBay. That's ridiculous. I hate how people insanely overprice things like that.

[amagon81]

I checked a couple of Targets last night and they had their Mighty Muggs on clearance for $8.99. Picked up Original Spiderman, black Spiderman, Wolverine, and Iron Man.

Much like other trading cards, they don't do anything. That's how collectables are. You pay for stuff you can look at, and that's all they're really good for (IE being displayed).

[DocRamon]

i actually have a somewhat noble cause for mine. at least, it started that way...

i've got a 9-month-old son, and i started buying the star wars muggs because they're somewhat more kid friendly. big and chunky. not many small parts. i'm actually buying the mighty muggs for him. and the plan is to use them to help introduce him to star wars, marvel, etc... and eventually pass them on.

[etcrane]

Much like other trading cards, they don't do anything. That's how collectables are. You pay for stuff you can look at, and that's all they're really good for (IE being displayed).

True to a degree, however they are toys so I have to let them compete with things like Legos and video games when I'm buying them. Lately I've had trouble justifying the purchase compared to certain collectibles that are more interactive (Video game CE's and action figures that do a bit more, can be built, etc). But they have risen in cost to around the same price as smaller, collectible vinyls sold in places like Urban Outfitters. I just have to wonder if Mighty Muggs are truly collectible, since they keep re-releasing the hard to find ones. If they don't hold their value, then they're just another toy ... and judged in that light, they are cool but they don't do much.

[georox]

Eh, do what I do, buy the ones you think would look cool on your shelf.

[yukafls]

Me too, or the ones that just interest me.

[Furashu]

more punishers available on TRU.com

Looks like they are out again.

[HydroX]

sigh, missed out on Punisher too!

[FluxDF]

No Baroness or Destro when I went out today. My TRU has three Punishers if you guys want me to pick one up for you.

Am I the only one kind of upset with these online only waves?

I personally like to inspect my MM before I buy it and I am very anal and will pass one up if the paint is chipped as to where I will see it when I glance at it.

Either way, the Scout Trooper looks AWESOME.

[Animal7390]

one of the targets near me had a shipment come in recently, i guess, picked up today:
2x commander cody
2x captain rex
2x biggs
2x c3po
2x shock trooper
2x snowtrooper
1x bossk

also saw but passed on asajj, dooku, vader v2, hoth han, anakin, captain rex and obi wan. should i have passed on any of these?

[FluxDF]

I'm not so fond of it either.

[Furashu]

online waves are lame.. makes them cost like $20 for one..

[SpiderLocMTGO]

Anyone seen any Teebo they would be willing to pick up for me?

[Animal7390]

if i find an extra ill pick it up

[DocRamon]

i'm very nervous that the "online exclusives" spell the end of the line for mighty muggs.

the current star wars figures are target exclusive. maybe because no other retailers ordered them? and now, the next two waves look to be online exclusive, again, because nobody else wanted to carry them? and if places like walmart and toys r us don't carry your toys, it becomes really hard for a toy line to stay financially worthwhile for a company.

but looking at the way things have been going... it makes sense. after the next wave of marvel, we've not seen anything. destro and baroness are hitting stores now, but there's been no sense of anymore joe characters beyond that. indy muggs were canceled a long time ago because the line couldn't hold past the movie's release. and wave 3 of transformers were considered "canceled" by entertainment earth even before the first wave was released.

perhaps nothing is planned, and things are being canceled... because hasbro has no desire to continue. or rather, retailers have no desire to order more.

hate to bring the mood down, but as someone who's been down this road before... online exclusives seem like the beginning of the end. a final attempt for hasbro to cut its losses.

[yukafls]

I like the characters in the exclusives but not enough to pay $5 extra for them, I mean come on. Look at the Red Skull and Thanos, no Luger for RS or gauntlet for Thanos??? I think it would be better off to have them like the punisher one or iron man, limited amounts in a certain store or in the comic cons.

It says that they're all from the OT and aren't variants... Greedo in there maybe? Sandtrooper? Tusken Raider? LOBOT? ... Nien Nunb?

Let speculation begin! I guess there's also a chance it's a whole wave of various troopers.

If that scout trooper figure has a visor I'm going to pick that guy up.

[etcrane]

The lack of new MM's could also stem from the fact that there isn't much expandability in the line, outside of adding new licenses. Most toys thrive off the need to buy the "next cool thing," for example GI Joes have vehicles, or bases, etc. Action figures have pieces of other figures with them that compel individuals to buy the complete set.

Mighty Muggs really don't have that, aside from the hole in one of their feet (someone should customize a vehicle and give Hasbro an idea). Not to mention the shelf space dedicated to MM's is negligible at most stores I go to.

This tends to indicate it's a niche product ... the only benefit I see to the online-exclusive lines is that it guarantees the potential for additional value if you collect them or plan to sell them someday. Other than that, I would agree it's probably bad for their longevity as a product.

A really awesome way to get your son into SW is the Lego SW games. That is how I got my son hooked on SW when he was 4 years old. Yesterday, he turned six and guess what his theme was? That's right, a Star Wars party. The only thing that was off was his birthday cake because it had Luigi on it (which is still cool, imo).

Anyways, after the party I stopped by Target to pick up some DiGiorno's pizza/Coke (BTW, thanks for that LinkinPrime) and I found a C-3PO. We have been looking for that MM for a while. It was a nice extra b-day present for my son.

That Scout Trooper looks awesome but DocRamon's foreboding post is not good news at all. Target's "temporary price cut" on MMs is a bit more telling now. I hope not. :cry:

[Wooten]

Every time I think I'm done getting more Muggs I run into some new ones in the store that I just can't pass up. Here is my find from last weekend

http://i619.photobucket.com/albums/tt273/Bizpad/P1010002.jpg

and yukafls to answer your question about the gamorrean guard, there is one of those mini pics on the back of the teebo box. I'm also really excited they are finally doing an Alex Guinness Obi-wan.

[DocRamon]

again, sorry for the downer last night...

i'm not totally counting them out yet. hasbro could fully intend to continue with these online releases for a long time still. that would be a great way for us all to see characters that the 'big box' stores wouldn't want to carry. and perhaps hasbro is waiting to wow us at toyfair or sdcc or something, and that's why the news has been lacking lately.

i'm just saying that, for the longevity of the line, the online exclusive route seems dangerous. and a lot of the recent questions (target exclusive wave? transformers wave canceled? why have we not heard of this mugg until is showed up in stores?) make sense when you think about the sad fact that muggs might be done.

that said, i'm still buying them all and supporting the mugg line until it's officially gone. and i have every online exclusive pre-ordered. and i still need destro and baroness.

[dg7md]

Any idea if the Hasbro Shop will get the SDCC Iron Man back in stock?

No clue... probably just random early mornings like... 4-6am.

[Salamando3000]

I really wouldn't count on getting SDCC Iron Man through HasbroToyShop. They rarely come in stock, and it's usually not much at all. My guess is they're the ones that got sent away for AFA grading, but weren't worthy of the 9.0 rating.

[BrolyB593]

They had The Baroness, Destro, and Storm Shadow all at Target. I really dont care to get The Baroness, the only reason I want her is to complete my GI Joe collection. Plus I still am yet to find a good Storm Shadow. Every single one I have found has some very noticeable scratch or marks on them. Plus its very noticeable on the extreme white. I did however pick up Destro and am very happy with him, he looks 10x better than what I was expecting for some reason.

They however had a beyond terrible selection of Marvel and Star Wars MM.

[thePhildown]

They however had a beyond terrible selection of Marvel and Star Wars MM.


I can say the same thing about my local Targets. The newest Mugg they had was Palpatine of the Star Wars line. :bomb: However, I finally snagged a Jigsaw from my local TRU. They also had a Punisher, but I'd already ordered that from the website a few days back.. -.-

[Gosha]

thePhildown, I'm from Olympia too. I'm hoping to get a Shock Trooper and a Snow Trooper, but sadly the Targets haven't gotten them. If you ever here of the Targets getting them, you should shoot me a PM. I checkde like twice at both the Olympia and Lacey targets last week. All they ever have are a ton of Plo Koons.

[knightsdwn]

Bah, I give up on trying to find Punisher and Jigsaw. I could have bought 3 of each Mugg with the gas money I've spent driving around.
So if anyone spots these 2 bastard Muggs around, I'll happily pay you for your time.

[Animal7390]

the doubles i picked up the other day at target are all available for trade or purchase.

[HydroX]

Found Snowtrooper, Commander Cody, and the usual star wars ones at the local target.

Found a bunch of Storm Shadow, Snake Eyes from the GI Joe line. Also spotted a Duke & Cobra Commander. No Destro though. Sigh.

Also saw a Galactus for the first time ever.

Can anyone clue me in on which ones are the rare ones? I know the Comic Con Iron Man is rare, but what else?

[etcrane]

Not that many are rare anymore ... they seem to be rare on a regional basis ... I would say the older SWs Muggs are getting rare ... one's like C3PO & Leia ... but Boba Fett and Vader V1 used to be rare ... until I just recently started seeing them on shelves again (at least both Fetts). Classic iron man used to be rare until he was recently re-released. Venom is still somewhat rare, although people are saying they've seen a re-issue of him as well. In the Indiana Jones line, I firmly believe Henry Jones Sr. is rare, only because I never ever saw one ... the monkey guy is kind of rare too, but not the same degree. None of the Joes are rare ... but Snake Eyes is the hardest to find. The rarest ones are the online exclusives like Short Round, Adm. Ackbar, etc ... only because they weren't sold in stores or at a convention ... That's my take on rare muggs, I'm sure others will add to or refute some of the muggs' rarity I listed ...

[thePhildown]

thePhildown, I'm from Olympia too. I'm hoping to get a Shock Trooper and a Snow Trooper, but sadly the Targets haven't gotten them.

I'll definitely give you a shout if I ever come across the new batch. Anything else you're looking for besides the new Star Wars ones?

[Furashu]

what is the old school ironman everyone keeps talking about?
the flat faced square eyes one? lol
i see that thing around a lot

no vaders/fetts for me though!

[SpazX]

I can't find a Yoda or Grievous for the life of me, so I'd say those are pretty rare. I'm hoping for a re-release.

[Gosha]

the Phildown, I'm only collecting Star Wars. NOt a big fan of the other lines. With Star Wars I'm mainly into Empire and Sith stuff. I'd like to get all the trooper variations (Clone/Storm, etc). I only have Captain Rex, Shadow Storm Trooper, and a Storm Trooper now.

[DocRamon]

my transformers set just arrived from BBTS... great that we got these muggs, but i'm a big fan of the facial expressions on my figures. for instance, i love the look on storm shadow's face. it's hard to get a good facial expression from a robot. but still, the muggs are solid additions. it's hard to pick a winner or loser in the bunch.

smile8 and tf2009 supposedly work for 10% off your purchase but the package deal a few posts back was a better deal.

[Commander0Zero]

I know this has probably been asked 1000 times but which muggs are rare? I only really collect what I like but say i see one i like i kinda want to know should i grab it or is it one that is everywhere like Duke. for example I've been on the hunt for a doctor doom is this one getting rare?

[Tribblewars]

As for doctor doom...I've found three, but not at the same stores. Two in phoenix, and one on the way to Cali. From previous posts mostly Jigsaw and Venom are rare and hard to found. I'm a huge Doctor Doom fan and even gave my son the last find. Its funny a one year old just loves his mighty muggs.

I know this has probably been asked 1000 times but which muggs are rare? I only really collect what I like but say i see one i like i kinda want to know should i grab it or is it one that is everywhere like Duke. for example I've been on the hunt for a doctor doom is this one getting rare?

Rarity is somewhat location-dependent. Leia, Yoda, and Venom are fairly universally rare..."exclusives" can be rare, due to the limited number of stores they're released in (only exclusives are Jigsaw and Punisher at Toys R Us, and a bunch at Target...and then there's "online only" waves...).

Also of note - the new Marvel wave is up for pre-order on HasbroToyShop, along with the new GI Joe muggs (Destro and Baroness). Everything has an estimated shipping date of March 9.

Finally, Walmart.com has a lot of muggs on clearance - many for under 8. Shipping for most can be free using site-to-store, or only 97 cents. Might be worth checking out to get extras for customs or to fill some holes in a collection.

[DocRamon]

I've been on the hunt for a doctor doom is this one getting rare?

he's on clearance right now at walmart.com for like $7.

[BrolyB593]

I am a poor college student without a credit card. I really want to nab at least Doom and Hulk for those low prices. I have seen Asajj and Dooku at Walmarts here and I doubt I can, but if I find them at the store, I doubt the price will reflect there, but could I have them look up the site and match their own site?

[DocRamon]

probably not... walmarts don't use a universal pricing system. so the items on clearance vary from store to store. this includes their website. just because a figure is 'on clearance' online, it might (and likely will) be regular price in-store. stores can't adjust prices to match that of their website or even their other local stores. just not how walmart works. it's kinda lame, but target's the same way.

so if you want the clearance prices, you pretty much have to order online.

[BrolyB593]

Hmm, bad news but thank you for the reply nonetheless.

[yukafls]

Go to wal mart and buy a visa gift card, thats how I make my online purchases

Thank you so much for posting this. I've been kicking myself for missing it that last couple of times he was in stock. And I've been driving around to so many toysrus with no success. Finally nabbed one. Cool.

Oh and the Megatron looks really sick. Too bad about them cancelling Starscream and Jazz. Those really looked nice.. maybe the best Transformers MM yet. The ones from the upcoming X-Men line are meh.

[yukafls]

Yeah, I started doing it a couple of months ago and I find its pretty good. Its just those darn activation fees

[BrolyB593]

Yea, thats so lame that they have them, what are they like $5 for every $50 or something?

If so I am gonna check out a few to see if I can find a Baroness and Destro, those look awesome.

Still on sale as of today, bought a 2-faced Vader and Darth Maul for $8.99 each.

[Commander0Zero]

I just picked up Dr. Doom and Captain Rex from walmart online. I really have no rhyme or reason on collecting these. At first it was just GI Joes and the new transformers now I've moved to anything I think is Fly. These things are a gateway drug back into collecting !!!!

Why would they drop the price for Mutt and Monkey Man, but not Mola Ram? He was in stock when I check earlier, still $10.97...

I couldn't find any of the Indy Muggs on clearance localy.

anyone else notice that the ebay listings are getting like no hits?

[UjnHunter]

Not trolling, serious question. What's the appeal of Mighty Muggs? I mean it's like having a South Park version of your favorite character... why not just get a proper looking figure?

[Veritech]

Found one of these at a thrift store yesterday. Brand new in the box Iron Man for $2. I gave it to my son and he thinks its cool.

[asgaga]

is it possible to use a walmart gift card to buy those muggs?

[KingofOldSchool]

Ugh...you know I check the Muggs out all the time. And I drag myself away from the toy aisle before I buy any.

And I was at Target today and I saw Cobra Commander and I literally had to drag myself away by the collar.

That thing is so damn cool, but I just can't justify paying over $10 for it then feeling obligated to buy more.

[Kerig]

I saw Cobra Commander and I literally had to drag myself away by the collar.

How would you feel about it if I told you doing a price-scan would have shown him to be only $8.99? They're secretly on sale at Target for at least another week (still no solid confirmation on the end date).

Don't feel obligated to buy any more than the one you love. I've had Iron Man for months and more recently Wolverine, but that's it. I look at all of them every time I'm in the store as well, but I only have my sights set out for a very select few. I carried Galactus around TRU for half an hour the one and only time I've ever seen him. I abandoned him in the electronics aisle, and have regretted it ever since...

Iron Man

Wolverine
Hulk
Optimus Prime

If I buy one, then I would feel obligated to buy more. I just can't do that especially when I'm saving up to go back to school. In the end, I'm paying for something to just on my desk that serves no real purpose other than to feed my geekdom.

[georox]

Currently I just want a Boba Fett and Soundwave. I'm hoping more of Vaders Bounty Hunters get released, since I finally found a Bossk.

[Animal7390]

i actually saw them advertised on sale the other day on an end cap with a gigantic 8.99 toy sale with a bunch of other stuff. forgot to grab the dates.

Same as all other collectible crap. I just like the way they look. The 'chibi' version of so many icons appeals to me.

I was into vinyl for a while but that's a harder habit to break than Muggs. I mean, have you seen the kidrobot Simpsons toys? Those things are shit hot! But...too expensive for my blood. Muggs are a good cost/product ratio for me.

I agree with the kidrobot Simpsons toys. Only problem is that they're randomized so you don't know what you're buying. Plus, the only place I know that has them sells them for $8 which is the same price as a Mugg and about 1/5 the size.

[Furashu]

so tempting to buy the ironman at walmart.com... lol

[DocRamon]

THIS!

i'm a huge simpsons nut. hell, i'd even pay the $8 for one if it weren't blindboxed. but the combination of high price and blindboxing totally turned me off to these guys. i'm much happier with muggs.

my appeal is the simplicity. more realistic figures have details and articulation... and it all usually comes at the expense of the overall look or low prices. since the muggs are much more stylized and simple, the prices stay (relatively) low and the look is clean, consistent and creative.

i see muggs more as artwork than i do as toys. i'm not building realistic dioramas or anything, i'm displaying abstract representations of the things that i enjoy. plus, as i've said, my intent is to pass the little guys onto my son. muggs are more kid-friendly than your standard star wars figure. maybe not as he gets older, but i'll feel very comfortable handing muggs (sans lightsabers) over to him within a couple years.

[McWeen]

I think the mighty muggs look awesome but I am very late to the game (I don't actually have any yet.) I am primarily interested in the Marvel ones. Any advise to someone starting out collecting them?

[dg7md]

the last day of the target temporary price cut is monday 2/9.

I find it unusual they call it a "temporary price cut" and not a "sale". Whatever the case though, I am determined to find Destro and Baroness before the 9th! They've been released on BBTS.com and are shipping now but at 18 a piece, not including shipping, is completely ridiculous. None of the Joes are going to be difficult to find in stores, I've seen floods of all 4 so far and expect to see equal doses of these 2 when stores get more of them in supply.

Maybe it's just my location, but the newer Mugg waves just aren't that difficult to find anymore. Granted, as long as you get them before the next wave comes out. Not to mention they appear to be readily available at Hasbro's site aside from a few hot ones, Revan for example.

[MasterSun1]

Stopped by Target yesterday and found just 1 new Mugg they didn't have two days ago, Biggs Darklighter. Granted I picked it up for my brother, since I don't collect any Muggs and only own 1 (Indy), someone else must've scooped up the others from the wave.

[BrolyB593]

Is there any confirmation the Target's $8.99 price really will end on the 9th?

Not saying I dont believe you blackandblue hero, but you should know how CAGs work, we love proof! haha

[SpiderLocMTGO]

At my Target they actually had a sign up for the sale, and it did list a date ending on the 9th of this month.

[RMThompson]

I picked up the Darth Vader with the turn around mask recently.

I am looking for a General Grevious at the Target 9 dollar price.... no luck!

Not sure what you're looking for in terms of advice. I see you're in Michigan so my best advice is - stay outta my way! :twisted:

Check out the Walmart link above, those are some pretty good prices if you can get site-to-store. Target seems to be the best for B&M shopping as far as selection and the temporary price cut. Also try Walmart/Kmart because I'm not sure how many people shop for these there. If you're willing to spend extra $$$ though, Urban Outfitters sells them in store for $20 each which is pretty much double what anyone else does, but they've also got a nice selection.

[Furashu]

i have been offering but the problem is that one shipping is factored in they can get kinda pricey but i am still willing to pick any up for someone else.

[BrolyB593]

Animal... how pricey is pricey? Perhaps a trade?



I found 2 Revans today at Walmart. One has a messed up arm and the other, the box was kind of squished but the mug itself looks nearly flawless, I opted for the somewhat smushed box.

I just picked up my first Mighty Mugg. I got the Wolverine one at Target. All of them were on sale for $8.99.

Is BIGGS DARKLIGHTER rare? I can't seem to find him anywhere.

[LinkinPrime]

I like Magneto...not sure about Iceman with the icecream cone or whatever that is.

[SpazX]

Magneto is awesome, I was wondering when they'd release him since he's pretty much perfect for might muggs. Ice man does look kinda funky though, wtf is in his hand?

And to answer spamfree2: Biggs isn't rare, if your Targets don't have them then they'll probably restock soon enough, I can pick one up for you, but it'll cost $17 to ship it to you, so it's better to just look around or wait :-P

[bornrunnin31]

I doubt those X-Men are exclusives at NYCC since they haven't released the regular waves yet.

Just when I thought I was out ... that Spider-man and Green Goblin are going to be immediate purchases for me ... not really feeling iceman ... going clear on that mugg with highlights would have been awesome ... tangent, I hope they make a carnage mugg ... I've seen the customs but I still think it would look cool

[FluxDF]

More X-Men! :whee: Those are pretty cool. The second pick of Iceman is better concerning the snowball. I agree though, he would have been much cooler translucent. And I would have preferred removable helmet for Magneto.

Also, Phoenix's face (http://www.action-figure.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=ImageBank&file=index&id=91024) is painted different than what the stores have shown.

Phoenix's face looks like that because her head rotates like the 2 sided Vader.
One side is Phoenix the other is Jean.

I'm glad they went with that particular green goblin design and not the Spider-man movies Green Goblin. These will be an insta-purchase for me. If I ever see them in the wild.

[ryosnk]

The unmasked spider and magneto look sweet but the iceman is weak. I finally was able to locate punisher and jigsaw but the jigsaw one did not look that interesting to me, but I did purchase punisher. Now to locate destro and baraness. Also, the golf mill, IL TRU had a bunch of punishers and jigsaws instock.

[Pootie Thang]

Damn you people! I went back to Target today after getting the Wolverine one yesterday... I picked up Snake Eyes (G.I. Joe) and a Shock Trooper (Star Wars) for $19.xx. I was going to get the Storm Trooper too but didn't want to spend any more $.

[gothamcentral79]

Don't really like the Iceman MM But the Magneto, maskless Spiderman and Green Goblin look cool. I really like that Green Goblin comes with the Goblin Glider.

I'm tired of the Spider-Man muggs already, characters like Deadpool need to be made and instead, another Spider-Man gets made.

That being said, I'll get all four when the come out. My targets better stock Iceman and Magneto. No more of this Toysrus/Punisher & Jigsaw bullshit.

Went around to try to find Baroness and Destro today, came up empty. I should have ordered from HTS when I could have! Because of this I went ahead and pre-ordered the 4 latest X-Men ones, but haven't confirmed the order yet, the coupon code made the deal look better.

HasbroToyShop won't charge until they ship right? It says they'll ship in March and I don't want to be charged until they actually ship the order.

[bornrunnin31]

I actually almost picked up regular spiderman the other day, but grabbed two others instead. Glad I didn't because I'm liking the maskless one.

[DocRamon]

I'm tired of the Spider-Man muggs already, characters like Deadpool need to be made and instead, another Spider-Man gets made.

there are lots of characters that need to be made, some (arguably) more important than deadpool. however, that's not the point...

assuming this spider-man is actually released in a standard wave (and doesn't end up being a convention exclusive or something, since it's clearly a movie version of the character) i think it's a really smart idea on hasbro's part. they know that core characters like this are essential to keep a line going, because that's what makes casuals buy figures and retailers order cases. BUT, instead of just re-releasing the old spider-man mugg and having it sit on shelves because collectors already have it, this mugg will actually sell. to a very wide audience.

i'm just saying... i've heard a lot of frustrated collectors complaining about the number of spider-man muggs, but honestly... muggs like this could be what keeps the line going, so that we see more fan favorites down the road.

[Unassuming Local Guy]

Are there any differences between revisions within waves? Like maybe on the graphics on the back of the box?

[doctorfaustus]

Picked up a Snowtrooper from target today. Going to miss the sale. :(

no luck finding Bossk, however.

[DocRamon]

Are there any differences between revisions within waves? Like maybe on the graphics on the back of the box?

nope, nothing. not even the three 'target exclusive' figures are different (and thus not really exclusive at all).

[Unassuming Local Guy]

nope, nothing. not even the three 'target exclusive' figures are different (and thus not really exclusive at all).

So the Target "exclusives" are from older waves?

[SpazX]

So the Target "exclusives" are from older waves?

C-3PO, Commander Cody, and Captain Rex were re-released as Target exclusives and are identical to the old ones besides the target stickers on the front. The others were first releases and exclusive to Target. I wouldn't be surprised if they were only initially Target exclusives and they ended up everywhere sooner or later, but that all depends on how Hasbro wanted to do it. They have plenty of other toys that are released only in certain stores and stay that way I think.

And about HasbroToyShop.com - I'm pretty sure they don't charge until they ship. I ordered a Human Torch and Venom when they had Venoms in stock and they shipped them separately and only charged for each one when they shipped.

[Unassuming Local Guy]

Anybody know if there are differences in the wave 1 and wave 4 Wolverines? Again, even on the back of the box?

[FluxDF]

Anyone around DFW had any luck finding Destro or Baroness in stores that would be willing to snag one each for me? :roll:

[SpazX]

Anybody know if there are differences in the wave 1 and wave 4 Wolverines? Again, even on the back of the box?

Nope, there's no difference. I got a Wolverine late in the game, so it must be a wave 4, but it still only has spidey, venom, and iron man on the back of the box. I'm pretty sure the only way you could possibly tell that a figure is from the original or re-released waves is to know what numbers stamped in the bottom of the box correspond to which wave. I think those are the lot numbers, but somebody can correct me if I'm wrong.

[TheHiei]

I'm no longer a Mighty Mugg virgin.

I picked up Galactus and Wolverine at Target last night.

Galactus because I still think he's one of the coolest looking Mighty Muggs, and Wolverine because I love the little stubble and stuff like that, very well done.

Now I'm on the lookout for a Ghost Rider and Punisher.

Being out of a car right now does not help though, :/

[Run L1ke H3LL]

I finally got Jigsaw on Friday. Jeez that sucker's been eluding me for weeks.
Now my Marvel collection is complete! I have all of them!

[SpazX]

I finally got Jigsaw on Friday. Jeez that sucker's been eluding me for weeks.
Now my Marvel collection is complete! I have all of them!

I never intended to collect all of any line, but now that I got a Skrull and I intend to get a Doc Ock, the only ones I won't have from all the past waves (besides the SDCC and PX exslusives) are ghost rider, captain america v1, jigsaw, and thor. And I kinda want a thor...

So I dunno, maybe I'll just get all of them for the hell of it.

[FluxDF]

Thor is pretty rockin'.

[hellboypi]

I picked up Punisher today at TRU; then hit a Target (Camp Horn - Pittsburgh) and perhaps made an unfortunate discovery.

The Star Wars and Marvel Muggs had shelf tags of $12.06! (Joe's were still tagged at $10.99)
They still scanned today at $8.99 but if this is the future of Muggs pricing....

I had never been in this Target before so maybe retail prices are higher here?
I also noticed the Spidey Animated figs were $12.06. (usually $9.99 or $10.99?)

[buzzcola]

tru by the house has punisher and jigsaw

[HydroX]

Picked up a Revan and C3PO at Muncy, PA Target. They had a Luke Skywalker which I hadn't seen in awhile, as well.

After seeing the Yoda MM I'm on the hunt for one of those, but I'm guessing that'll be an adventure in itself. lol

[McWeen]

Well I went ahead a bought some at various Targets across the state of Michigan over the weekend. I happened to be traveling for family stuff and ended up getting Silver Surfer, Iron Man and Ghost Rider in Lansing. Picked up Galactucus in Traverse City and Wolverine in Mt. Pleasant. So I went from none to a bunch.

[TDAGARIM]

Went around to try to find Baroness and Destro today, came up empty. I should have ordered from HTS when I could have! Because of this I went ahead and pre-ordered the 4 latest X-Men ones, but haven't confirmed the order yet, the coupon code made the deal look better.

HasbroToyShop won't charge until they ship right? It says they'll ship in March and I don't want to be charged until they actually ship the order.
What coupon would that be? I'm interested in pre-ordering the new x-men wave.

[MasterSun1]

Picked up Snowtrooper, Shock Trooper, and Bossk from the Wilsonville, OR store for my bro. Last time, I only found Biggs. This time around, somebody must've snatched up this shipment's Biggs and Teebo as well, which is 1 of only a few SW/Marvel muggs my bro is missing (original Solo, Chewy, and Jigsaw).

He has all the SW and Marvel muggs besides the ones I've mentioned above. Talk about crazy.

[HydroX]

After debating for several days about buying a Shock Trooper, and holding it in my hands while in the store several times over the last week, I decided to pick one up today since it was the final day of the temp price cut.. and it was gone. Sigh.

[DocRamon]

Picked up Snowtrooper, Shock Trooper, and Bossk from the Wilsonville, OR store for my bro. Last time, I only found Biggs. This time around, somebody must've snatched up this shipment's Biggs and Teebo as well

that's not necessarily true. try going back tomorrow and seeing if teebo's on the shelf. a lot of targets only put so many figures out on the shelf at one time. when they hit that limit, even if it's in the middle of a case, they save the rest in the back until something sells. then, when they restock the shelves, they finish unloading the case. of course, some stores don't follow this rule, but i think that's what they're supposed to do, based on my conversations with target employees during mugg hunts.

they could have gotten a case, put out snowtrooper, shock trooper and bossk, but then hit their figure limit and stashed the rest in the back. now that you've bought some, they might put out biggs and teebo and one of the re-releases or something.

[yukafls]

I picked up Destro and Baroness at Target for $8.99 today. Last ones they had, I might trade off Baroness if anyone is interested. Destro's package is shiny on his face the way the SDCC Iron Man's package was, hes hella cool.

[BrolyB593]

I keep finding Storm Shadows but I am yet to find one that is not messed up, whether there are scratches or sloppy paint, I cant find one that I want to pick up. I dont want the Baroness and then besides her, Storm Shadow is the only Joe that I need and yet I am too anal to pick him up because none are in good enough condition!

[yukafls]

I found one of those that looked like it had been kicked across the floor

[shadowkast]

Picked up Cobra Commander, left the two snake eyes there though.

Usual Marvel finds: Wovlerine, thing, Hulk???

What's the 'street date' for the transformers MM. I know some of you have gotten them online, any lucky CAGs finding them instores yet???

[supermodestmouse]

made a special trip to a toys r us in escondido (mira mesa closed). they had plenty of dukes, cobra commander, and storm shadow....boxes were pretty prestine.

had a good number of punisher and another i forget at the moment. but i finally got my punisher :)

[thunder_gamer]

Got my Jigsaw last week. Finally, no more checking Toys "R" Us for a while. I think store people are looking at me funny.

[MasterSun1]

You might be right, but for my store, they tend to stick everything out there. I saw Cody and Rex out there, which come in the same shipment with Teebo and C-3PO. The last two weren't there, which makes me think they put everything out there and the ones missing were snatched up.

All my bro needs now are Chewy, original Han, and Jigsaw from TRU. He has all the other Star Wars and Marvel Muggs, exclusives and all.

[GLOCKGLOCK]

Well the 8.99 promo is definitely over at Target. Went in this morning and all Muggs were scanning back at 10.99 there.

Is there any definitive list out there of all official Muggs and an estimate of their rarity?

Also are the Baroness and Destro hard to find?

[manthing]

What's the 'street date' for the transformers MM. I know some of you have gotten them online, any lucky CAGs finding them instores yet???

I don't think there is a street date for TF MMs, *BUT* Hasbro might not ship it to B&M retailers until they ship figures from the new TF movie, which WILL have a street date. So some retailers might hold off stocking them until they put out TF2 movie figures.

[LinkinPrime]

Hasbro has a ship date of March so my guess is that they'll hit shelves in March.

[prayformojo]

Too bad that my Target did not get Destro and the Baroness in before the sale ended. $8.99 was the sweetspot for Mighty Muggs for me, now I just need to keep my eyes open for future deals.

[Animal7390]

i just went to a target and they denied me going out back claiming they would be fired. turns out those signs they have up are their way of basically shutting down the search and collect method. im tempted to buy all the ones they have one day on the floor. wait for them to replenish, then return.

[dg7md]

What coupon would that be? I'm interested in pre-ordering the new x-men wave.

"smile8". The code basically works as a tax-free coupon, about 5 dollars off if you order all 4 of them.

[MasterSun1]

Picked up Teebo in Wilsonville, OR today for my bro. They also had another Shock Trooper along with Biggs Darklighter. Now my bro is only missing Chewy and original Han.

[cochesecochese]

So are/were there comic-con exclusive Muggs this year?

[LinkinPrime]

I think the exclusives are only for San Diego...I've never seen NY get any...I could be wrong though.

[cochesecochese]

I just realized that after I posted. Now I feel like an ass.

I'm glad I stopped collecting these obsessively. The new Spidey does look nice as hell though.

[supermodestmouse]

i'm sorry...new spidey? O.o damn you mighty muggs for making yet another hole in teh wallet!

[dv8mad]

I don't think we will ever get these in Osaka...
I anyone has any extras that they are looking to trade, please check my list.
There are quite a few that I would like to get!

[emg28]

Picked up Cobra Commander, left the two snake eyes there though.

I still haven't found Snake Eyes in my area. :bomb:

[SpazX]

Anybody got a Yoda? I checked some stores in the middle of nowhere in PA while I was up there, but came up with nothing. I have muggs for trade (including destro and baroness) if anybody has one.

[Gosha]

Man, my two local Targets have had the same Muggs for like a whole month now. I'm hoping they get the exclusives sometime soon.

[Unassuming Local Guy]

I went to a Target last night. Two Iron Man Muggs and one Ghost Rider. All three were beat to hell.

[Animal7390]

Man, my two local Targets have had the same Muggs for like a whole month now. I'm hoping they get the exclusives sometime soon.

ask if they have some in back. apparently store policy dictates that as long as they are on the shelf and the facing is full, they will not restock them.

[FluxDF]

Asking if they have more in the back never helps me.

yeah, I'm in the middle of nowhere PA and I'm looking for a Yoda as well.

[yukafls]

I ask all the time, you gotta ask for a specific one otherwise they wont do it

[FluxDF]

I ask all the time, you gotta ask for a specific one otherwise they wont do it

I do and they tell me they come as assortments and it would take them "forever" to go through them all. Guess I just haven't asked the right person yet.

[LinkinPrime]

That's pretty shitty customer service. When you scan a package on their price scanners it has a field specifically to inform you if there are more in the back. Why would they have that there if they're not willing to go to the back and check?

Sounds like lazy employees...try to get a manager next time that happens. That shit is unacceptable and those shitty employees are basically holding money from the store by not allowing you to buy them.

[Animal7390]

nope a company policy now states it. since they are deemed "collectible" they are not allowed to go outback until the shelf needs to be re-stocked. there are little signs in the toy section. i agree with you linkin, they are losing money. i had a conversation with a few people yesterday when i went and they agreed, but since it was policy they really couldnt do anything. at least rotate them but that would mean floating muggs out back as opposed to sealed boxes they can toss around.

[FluxDF]

I'm going to look for that sign next time I'm at Target, because I certainly haven't noticed it before.

[supermodestmouse]

its usually in the same isle, but typically near the G.I. Joes and the Star Wars stuff. Usually, I ask a younger employee with a scan gun. they're usually cooler than the older people.

[LinkinPrime]

Well that's just fucking weak...my closes target has had the same 20-25 Star Wars Muggs since after X-Mas...they haven't stocked the new ones at all. I already got them at another Target but I'm guessing it's the same thing there.

If they were smart they'd at least rotate them, take a few of the duds out to the back and bring out the new ones.

[emg28]

nope a company policy now states it. since they are deemed "collectible" they are not allowed to go outback until the shelf needs to be re-stocked. there are little signs in the toy section.

That sucks. I haven't noticed those signs either but I have a newer Target in my area and they usually go the extra mile for their customers (for the time being, I guess). I'll ask them to check the stockroom the next time I'm there.

Finally, a trip to TRU is actually worth it. I picked up The Punisher, Jigsaw and Snake Eyes earlier today.

[yukafls]

Went to target south, they had I Plo Koon one that I passed on due to them being back at $10.99

[Commander0Zero]

I found a Galactus today at my local target that wasn't there. It looks like they are being filled in here and there no big restocks. Is Captain America getting rare because I can't seem to find him either.

[Darthjer]

Just a quick "CAG-Back" (Giving back to the community sort of thing). I know this isn't a trade thread, but I'm trying to do a good deed, so I figured it could get overlooked? I'll delete if anybody has a problem with this here.

It looked like my TRU had just put out two cases of the Punishers/Jigsaws today, so I grabbed two of each for you guys. If anybody wants a pair or the 4 of them for the cost (10.99 ea) and whatever the shipping is (Not looking for profit), pm me. I'd rather not split them up individually just yet, but if you just want one, PM me and I'll let you know if nobody wants the sets.

ETA: Both sets are spoken for at this point, but still feel free to let me know, and I will PM back if anyone changes their mind. Sounds like they're going to good homes.

[yukafls]

On Hasbro.com there are coming soon signs on Hoth Luke, Old Ben, Scout trooper, and Gamorian Guard. According to Mightymuggslounge it seems to be hasbro.com only. Guard and Scout look pretty cool

[doctorfaustus]

Damn.

I have a The Empire Strikes Back theme going on on top of my media shelf. The Hoth Luke will fit in nicely.

[DocRamon]

they're not hasbro exclusive, they're online exclusive... it's the same wave that entertainment earth has said they'll start selling on 2/25 and bbts (and others) will likely have around that time as well.

[cochesecochese]

That new Obi-Wan looks dope.

[emg28]

Ben Kenobi and the Scout Trooper look awesome but the Gamorrean guard looks too thin. I'm not sure that there's anything they could've done about that but it just looks "off" (in my opinion).

[spddrcr]

has anyone found any of the transformers muggs yet? an employee at my local target said they got a couple in but another employee snatched them up right away, he also said it might have been a mistake that they even got the few that they did as he hasnt seen any others since then:cry:

if anyine is looking for a specific mugg let me know, I usually hit up my target about 2 times a week and they have a pretty good selection:D

I want them all. Hoth Luke will go well the the Wompa, and I would love to have my original single faced Vader fighting Old Ben!

I can not wait for this wave.

[McWeen]

I was at my local Toys R Us last night and picked up 2 Punishers. I have never traded anything on CAG before so I am not sure I am quite ready yet but my intention is to trade one away eventually.

I was at Meijer and they had Iron Man, Wolverine and 2 Things. Nothing amazing about the selection but I have never seen the boxes for these things pristine before.

[GLOCKGLOCK]

Just a heads up, all Transformers and GI Joe Muggs are currently in stock on TRU:

I just picked up a Cairo Swordsman yesterday at Walmart for 3 bucks on clearance. I was wondering, for customizing, what kind of paint is it best to use, both as a base coat and for detailing.

[DocRamon]

stopped by a TRU this afternoon... found PLENTY of all 4 transformers, 2 jigsaws and 6 punishers. have them all already, but figured i'd report back in case someone needs a little help.

with all the stuff being released/announced recently, i'm starting to lose track of all my orders! i've got baroness and destro coming from tru.com (was coming from hasbro, but tru got them in stock first, so yeah), starscream and grimlock coming from hasbro, the next wave of star wars coming from bbts, the next marvel wave coming from bbts... and we've still seen another (target exclusive) wave of marvel, another star wars wave, 2 possibly canceled transformers and serpentor.

wow.

[yukafls]

They are gettin pretty popular to be releasing all those waves
