Looks like some old Thor stock has been making it's way onto TRU pegs.  I've noticed the Deluxe Lightning Clash Thor turning up recently.  But not the rather HTF deluxe Heimdall.  And frankly, it's bizarre.  This line originally hit stores back in 2011, right?

about a month ago I did read someone on another board say that they did find Heimdall.

My store got a case of the first deluxe wave.

wouldn't it be crazy if that claw frost giant showed up somewhere?  that is the only figure from the line that never turned up

Good luck on that!  The only place I ever saw that was in the Hasbro display case at NY Comic Con.  I had no idea that figure was even in the works until I saw it there.

The bargain hunter in me is bummed that I wasn't able to get Heimdall for $9.99 or however much Thor deluxe figures go for.  But in the grand scheme of things it was worth it to wait a little while for the secondary market prices to subside, and pay about $25 for Heimdall.  All while NOT having to search far and wide for it at retail, and probably saving a comparable ammount of gas money in the process.

I got a deluxe Heimdall from a fellow collector today.  He found a few at a local Tuesday Morning.

I still wonder if that deluxe Ice Claw Giant figure ever made it into development.....

I saw the one in a Hasbro-Marvel display case at NY Comic Con, and nowhere else.  It was never even announced in any Deluxe figure case assortments.  Has anyone seen any of the usual Asian eBay suspects auctioning off Thor prototypes?

Hmm, gonna have to check a few local Tuesday Mornings - how long ago did he find it, do you know?

About a week to ten days ago.  A friend of mine in Indianapolis found a couple last Friday.

I've seen Heimdall at a couple of TRU stores, too.  They're out there.
