was able to hide the red/silver Iron Man pegwarmers today and pulled a Jedi mind trick on the Target employee making him think they were out of stock on the sales floor (I just moved them to the IM2 section).  He scanned the peg, said there were a bunch in the back and brought out a case.  I scored the Archangel Death variant and the old school Havok and another AIM trooper.

It was nice to see Colossus and Juggie hanging on the pegs - shows the great potential of this line.  Those 2 figures are so BA - but I already had them.

That is a good 'trick' which I shall keep in mind next time I have same question to answer at retail.

And I am looking forward to seeing the Archangel,Colossus,Juggernaut and Havok figures from this line as they look excellent.

Man, I still need ArchAngel. And the variants too of him and Havok. This line has been extremely hard in the last 12 months to get everything. (at least in my area)

Restocking doesn't happen much and when it does, the figures just fly off the pegs.

I did see 4 of the AIM figure. Didn't buy any of them as I don't like that figure at all.

Heh, got lucky last night and found the Havok variant and Arch Angel variant. I was very surprised when I rounded the corner of the aisle to find them there. Happily so.

One of my local Targets did a half-assed reset but they did put out the new wave of Universe figures. Surprisingly all they had left were a few Juggernauts and Havoks, so I snagged a Juggernaut for myself and a second for JD's favorite sandwhich artist Famine.

Our local Target finally put out some new MU stuff too, for the first time in a loooong time.  They had a shelf holder with the Colossus/Juggernaut wave in it, as well as the new exclusive two packs (Spidey/Gobby, etc.)  Just out of curiosity, does anyone happen to have a Black Widow (regular, red hair) anywhere around them?  Our daughter is into superheroes, particularly the female ones, and we haven't been able to find one locally at all.  That wave in particular seemed to barely show up here, if at all.

I picked up three of the four Target 2-packs today (skipped on Spidey/Goblin).  I wanted the new Wolverine, Punisher, and Black Panther, so I had to eat more superfluous Iron Man figures.  Wonderful.

I saw those 2 packs and was tempted to grab a few as well.  I haven't yet, but might at some point.  The Wolverine has a new head, right?  And I believe Black Panther is different/improved as well?

No luck for me yet, I want the Punisher set.  Contemplating the Black Panther but is it just a new cape or is the figure different too?

I looked at these briefly the other day, but nothing appealing enough to get me to buy them.  I think Panther looks a little better - did the old one have a cape?  The 2pack version does, but that's not enough to entice me.  Passing on all of them.

The first release did not have a cape, i can't justify spedning 12.00 just on a cape. If teh figure is differetn and better I would pick it up.

Ah, okay, easy pass for me on all of these. Though I might want one Black ninja.

Found all four of these and only bought the Wolverine/Black Hand Ninja. I already have plenty of Spidey, a couple of the Goblin. Didn't need either Iron Man as I have those already. Definitely not Black Panther just for the cape. I'm not a fan of Punisher, so that was a pass too.

While I have Wolverine, I can justify this purchase for what I have planned for him, and the black ninja just adds to the ranks I have of them.
