Is this the correct count for a case or did I just miss the Black Cat/Carnage figures?

Whatever the case, I'm avoiding TRU as much as possible. At $26.99 each, they're charging way too much (and I thought $24.99 for Star Wars' Black Series was high!).
I agree, I was at TRU tonight and saw that they put them out, but when I saw the price , I couldn't believe it. TRU aren't even in the ballpark, At 19.99$ Target gets my money.TRU are out of there minds!!

I think all but Black Cat, Carnage and the AIM and HYDRA goons will sit until they go on some 25% off sale. This chain may lose not just casual customers with prices like these, but long time shoppers as well.

And let's not even bring up the X-Men box set fiasco in the U.S, it's all just too much bs, to the point that I'm laughing manically

Wow! I didn't know TRU was selling these for $26.99 each. That is way too much for them.

If anybody has any info about the Captain america legends line, sightings and locations, please post them and don't forget the upc codes. The ones posted by pegman don't bring anything up when checked in the Target system, probably US codes.

Thank you!!

ANY ONE?!?!
I grabbed a Superior Spidey at Sunridge Target a few weeks back, but I haven't seen any there since. There was also one at Target on 17th that same day but it's long gone. The only place in Calgary I still see it in stock is Words and Pictures on Centre Street. They have Superior and Movie Spidey, as well as Marvel NOW! Cap and First Avenger Cap.

There's also a chance that of staff purchase or staff holding them off.
This happens a lot in Hong Kong last year when we were hunting for Avengers movie 6". They restock everyday I was there within the first 30mins since the store opened and you never find a complete set but just Captain Americas and Ironmen.

My dealer told me that HasCan is having a hard time allocating all the ordered cases on their first shipment of these, but that the 2nd shipment will be a lot better. So maybe there's just enough for one case per store for now but we'll be seeing more soon.

Target will be getting my money for sure if they stick to their prices. $27 at TRU is nuts. I know they always cost a bit more, but that's a 35% increase from last year's line. They are really pricing towards their 25% to 40% off sales these days.
