Re: Marvel Universe Wave 11 (2010 Wave 6) Out In Canada

I found a Thanos at the Warden/Eglinton Walmart about 2 weeks ago. I was stunned to see it just sitting there on the shelf by itself. It was a US card, so I don't know if that is what we have been getting lately.

This morning I saw a Modular Armor Iron Man there as well.

It is weird, every time I see a MU figure it is the only one, besides the lonely AIM soldier that never moves.

My question is...does anyone ever recall seeing Wave 6 here at mass retail stores like Walmart, Zellers or Toys R Us? I'm talking about the wave which had Vision, Jean Grey, Warpath, Sunfire, Wolverine (in X-Men training uniform) and House of M Spider-Man (which was re-released in later waves).

I saw Wolverine from this wave, but never the Jean Grey, Warpath and Sunfire that I was looking for. This was a couple months back.

Re: Marvel Universe Wave 11 (2010 Wave 6) Out In Canada

The Wolverine was included in other waves. Wave 9 was released here in abundance, Walmart has pegs full of wave 8 (except archangel of anykind or classic havok) with a little wave 9 mixed in right now. And i did see wave 10 once at wal-mart, i picked it all up except ghost rider which wasnt there. I have yet to see 11 and 12 though.

I was mentioned in an interview with Hasbro around christmas time i think on fwoosh? i think maybe, who knows though my memory is shot.. that wave 6 distribution was screwed up and never made it to canada retail for the most part and they are trying to get those figures in newer cases and such.

And walmarts her ein edmonton have started carrying the comic 2-packs again. saw the phoenix cycolps and dark wolvie dark spiderman ones.

If you're looking for Archangel or Havok, try checking out Real Canadian Superstore (which is owned by Loblaws).

Here in Ontario, some of our stores recently got shipments of that wave with those particular figures. While they're pricier than Walmart ($11.99 before tax as opposed to Walmart's $9.92 before tax), they're probably still cheaper than what you'd pay for on eBay or at a collectible show.

Yeah, I've seen him around at Zellers too. He's apart of that revision chase that included Red Hulk, Thor, Cap, and others. The variant/reissued one has a much better head sculpt. Old on the left, new/reissue on the right.

Re: Marvel Universe Wave 11 (2010 Wave 6) Out In Canada

I Saw a Mary Jane a few months back with a damaged card - Repost from Manitoba Sightings -

"McPhillips Walmart has numerous harder to find figures with damaged cards.(Some clown likes to bend cardboard in the North End of the city, dumnass)

Mary Jane, Kitty Pryde, Patroitic Ironman plus a few more are there, again all with damaged cards
. "

iirc the damaged Mary Jaen was there for a few visits. I think its safe to say she was released.

I picked up the Thanos wave at the Walmart in Sunrise Centre in Kitchener. There was at least a Ghost Rider still there with some older waves (Colossus, Iron Man, Aim soldier)
