Marvel Legends Gamerverse

I'm usually an early to bed, early to rise guy (to bed at 9, up at 5) so them showing up on the website between midnight and 2 am on release date is rough (especially since it's overnight before a work day), especially since I know that they'll likely sell out immediately even then.

One edge you do have being awake that early is that when local Targets get items in for online order and in-store pickup in my experience those pop up most frequently early in the morning before the stores open at 8AM. I have no specific information for why that's true, but my guess has always been that the inventory trucks arrive early in the morning, so they pop up for in-store pickup as they scan them off the truck. For years I've checked local stores via the Target web site early just to see if they pop up nearby. I've got almost a dozen Targets within my metropolitan region, and I usually end up snagging difficult items this way.

But your more effective route will be to follow my explicit instructions I posted a few days ago. Summarized quickly just call them, give them the DPCI, ask if they have it, if not ask when they're getting it, and ask if nearby stores have it. My last post had far more explicit details for doing this.

I think the early bird curbside pickup has more to do with an old Covid lockdown ordinance. You know from back during the time when senior citizens and immune compromised people were allowed to shop at grocery stores early before the shops were filled with too many people and thus making them more prone to getting sick? That provision has stuck around ever since. Well after Covid has been in the rear view mirror for the majority of us.

I don't know about Psylocke, but my daughter and I just found out the hard way their Krypto Squishmallow is street dated July 20. She got up to the register and they refused to sell it to her. It's so maddening how disorganized these stores are. My son remembered seeing it last week when we were in there so I can't imagine she was the first kid to try to buy a stuffed animal from a pretty popular movie and yet it's still on the shelf. Anyway, July 20 is probably a date for a bunch of new toy product so it wouldn't surprise me that's true of the Psylocke set.
But... the movie came out on July 11. What are we doing here?
 
MCU figures are always smaller than comic based figures so that didnt surprise me at all... especially since they say this Wolverine is bigger than the last few.
I knew that about other figures, but for some reason I thought the Jackman Wolverine figures were larger.
 
I’ve got a shipping label from Target for Betsy and Thanos.

Yikes! That made me spring to my feet really quick. I forgot to update my credit card on target since my previous one was compromised last week. that’s a relief that my order hasn’t been charged yet . I managed to update my other orders too just in the off chance that everything comes to a head at once

Got my shipping notice for Thylocke as well. Hoping it gets here before the 25th; heading out of town for a bit and don't want it just sitting in the heat (plus it might be nice to try and get my Thanos up for sale before the absolute avalanche of others doing the same 🤪 )
 
I got the shipping notice as well. This is the Marvel Legends set I have anticipated and wanted the most so far this year. Psylocke looks freaking perfect, and I love the colors for Thanos. This set is gonna change lives!
 
I still haven’t received my shipment notification for Psylocke & Thanos yet. Hopefully that notification comes soon

Any bets as to how long Hasbro will make us wait for the blue Angel costume? I have an extra red Angel but I really don't want to paint it because I know Hasbro will and paint it better... but I really want him to go with Psylocke...

I've promised myself no Marvel customs until after SDCC. BUT...

Aw man, that date issue where they dance in the NYC sky.
 
Didn’t get any notifications by email but the app says preparing to ship expected by next Friday for the two-pack. Would be cool to get it during SDCC.
