Has anyone seen Target's light up hall of armor sets?  Are they worth getting?

I went again to Target yesterday to take a look a round because I am interested in the premise of these sets.  I looked all over the but it seems these sets aren't built into the plannogram yet.  I kinda figured/had a feeling for some reason that these would be available upon release - but it doesn't seem so at this point.

I guess I just kinda had this feeling because I think Target would have had a better chance of selling through these now than if they wait.  Parents might spring the couple extra $$$ for a light up base now, rather than going back and buying the same figure over again just to get a light up base - collectors too.  Perhaps they aren't going to be out now until the movie releases?

This is one of the reasons why I am pretty much waiting to open any of these.

if you are not interested in an articulation upgrade - why not just pick one up on the secondary market?  they are pretty plentiful.  

personally I think those would be bad choices for re-releasing.

fyi - 2 out of the 3 of the new new comic packs from the 4th wave of the Secret Wars are coming soon on HTS - the Dr. Doom pack is missing still.

I read reports yesterday on RS.com that some people out west were finding them at retail already - so this makes me happy because I  haven't opened any of them.  I am waiting to get them all, so I can open them in order, and read them with my son.

I like the idea Paul - thanks a lot for offering it up - and your "contest" idea is a good one too.  I too am also happy about the subject restrictions Hasbro is going to be implementing in the future.  Now we get hints and sneek peaks instead garbage jibba-jabba that many people are posting.

Although I do hope Hasbro continues to "research" by checking into collection websites to hear how their fan base is doing so they still can hear the complaints when they do arise.

As for questions regarding Joes - I don't have any at this time.  However, I am now curious to see/ask if JD.com has a section to ask questions about the Marvel lines - Marvel Universe imparticular.

Went on a toy hunt yesterday since these were supposed to be officialy released:

Target:

Comic version WM.  They also had all of the figures I had previously purchased at TRU days before.

WM - they probably had 8+ pegs jammed packed with every figure I had previously seen plus the new ones I got below:

Movie WM with from what I can tell has red eyes and a red circle around his chest thingy - there are reports of there being a blue variant, and I also got Mark IV, V, VI.

when I got home I had a kinda buyers remorse type feeling on all the Mark figures - how many IM suits do I need?  Especially when on 2 (Mark IV, and Mark VI) of them the only difference is the center of his chest?  So I dunno if I am gonna keep them.  I am really kinda waiting to hear more info on those Target armory light up base packs I think before I make a final decision.

The only figure I have opened so far is Mark I.  I kinda regret doing it for the reasons stated above.  I am thinking Target will be doing a pack for all the armor models, and it would be pretty sweet to have them displayed that way.  I would return all of my single cards for those exclusives - given the right price of course.

Only complete passes, no double takes,  so far are animated Mark I, Classic IM, Stealth IM, and yuck - Inferno IM

The comic version of War Machine is so good that I don't even want the movie version.

wow - I will have to do a comparisson when I see them in person.  I would have never suspected that.

edit:  just saw a pic of the comic version online at HTS (if you click the borken links the pics show up) - and yeah, he does look real nice.

and if this thread gets any more pictures of Scarlett Johannsen in it - I won't be able to work for the rest of the day.  she is so hot....

edit:  just went to HTS to see if they have these up yet - and they do.  no pictures of the product yet - but it looks like they will be holding on to their toys for this line, as they all look to be priced at $7.99.

Sorry HTS - you won't be getting any order from me as I am sure these will be plentiful at retail.

ps - how much is WM selling IM2 figures for?

Yeah, her name was/is Koo Stark.  Softcore.  Now she's got an action figure.

YEAH SHE DOES!!

gigiddy-gigiddy!

sorry had to.  in all serioursness though, I never knew anything about Camie/Fixer, but I will buy this pack to +2 my SW fan skills and support the comic pack line - this is of course despite the fact that is going down in flames.
