HawkLord Posted March 31, 2016 Posted March 31, 2016 Wow, that's impressive. The obvious question is, what location is that GameStop if they have "tons" left over? Hopefully the friend might be adding more to that trade, because the Centurion goes for over three times the amount the Manhunter does. Quote
retrotaco Posted March 31, 2016 Posted March 31, 2016 It's gonna be entirely hit-or-miss as far as Gamestops having extras- some places they're all given away, other places the employees took the extras, some places though will have some extras - your best bet would most likely be smaller cities where the store may have had a decent number of pre-orders, but not a huge population of people who'd go in asking about extras. I know the few around me didn't have any. Quote

I know the few around me didn't have any. Exactly. They had a box of about 15-20 left, as well as some Mad Max hot wheels cars (got 2 of those). I think it's because the area I work in has two GameStops right next to each other; in a mall and a stand alone. I'm trading it to my boss, the comic book shop I work at on Wednesdays. I don't mind because we help each other out all the time. He sold me a Temple of Doom set brand new. The box was open, all bags were sealed. Got it insanely cheap, as well as Raiders opening scene and the Wolverine Chopper Showdown with Deadpool at crazy low rates. He deserves the Centurion in my eyes! Also giving another to my friend at the Lego Store because he's awesome and missed out, too. Edit: sorry, don't want to give my exact location away, I have employee friends I don't want to get in trouble (probably just me being paranoid) but I live in a suburban sprawl surrounding a major city. There are TONS of GameStops here. Edited March 31, 2016 by Joschmidt33 Quote

There are TONS of GameStops here. That's gonna be the best place to find these leftover - if you're in too rural an area, you probably either don't have GameStops, or the pre-ordered games would DEFINITELY be picked up, polybag included - and if you're in a major city, there's probably enough people who'd have the same idea as you, and clear out the extras early. If you're in the suburbs near a major city though, especially one with lots of little shopping centers and GameStops? You'd have the best odds. Quote

Yeah, I actually got my first one at a different GameStop and only got more because my Lego Store pal missed out. He hooks me up all the time, only fair to do the same. It's one of those times where you don't want to get away from the Sprawl /arcadefirereference Quote
SandMirror38 Posted March 31, 2016 Posted March 31, 2016 What on earth happened to the Brickset Marvel month? It was like nothing compared to what they said there'd be.. Quote
Ultron Posted March 31, 2016 Posted March 31, 2016 What on earth happened to the Brickset Marvel month? It was like nothing compared to what they said there'd be.. Yeah what happened to "we'll see something in a couple of days"? Quote
Bricky Dee Williams Posted March 31, 2016 Posted March 31, 2016 What on earth happened to the Brickset Marvel month? It was like nothing compared to what they said there'd be.. Yeah, I realized today was the last day of the month, and was thoroughly disappointed with the output from Brickset. And of course anything we'd get tomorrow would be their April Fools Day joke.

PickleManDan Posted April 1, 2016 Posted April 1, 2016 I think it's because the area I work in has two GameStops right next to each other; in a mall and a stand alone. Where I live, there are four gamestops within 5 minutes of each other; one in the mall, two across the street form the mall (left and in front), and one a few minutes down the road. The worst part is that they all were wiped out of Silver Centurions. Quote
retrotaco Posted April 1, 2016 Posted April 1, 2016 Went to the GameStop in our mall, after the convo in here, and they didn't have any Silver Centurians, but they did have a Rhodes Iron Patriot from IM3 that they gave me - I don't follow Marvel lego really at all (this would be my first Marvel minifig) did I just get something awesome or are they kinda easy to come by?

You got something great! That polybag was the pre-order bonus for the original Lego Marvel Superheroes video game from 2013, they sell for upwards of $30 nowadays, I just bought mine last year. Lucky you! Quote

Wow after how many years!? 3 years ago! That's really cool and surprising! Quote
retrotaco Posted April 1, 2016 Posted April 1, 2016 Hahaha yeah, I was shocked, just thanked them a lot and went on my way lol I guess if I end up getting the Civil War sets now I can slap Rhodey's head on War Machine haha Quote

I saw someone post something similar on Reddit this week. That's so cool! I wish I had the time to go to my closest GameStops to ask but I never can. Quote
Amazing Bricks Posted April 1, 2016 Posted April 1, 2016 You're so lucky to get iron patriot! I'm going to have to check out my local gamestop. Quote
GoldenNinja3000 Posted April 1, 2016 Posted April 1, 2016 Hahaha yeah, I was shocked, just thanked them a lot and went on my way lol I guess if I end up getting the Civil War sets now I can slap Rhodey's head on War Machine haha You're so lucky!! I pre ordered that but never got the figure because it was only with Xbox and PlayStation at WalMart. I've been after one for a couple years but they're just so expensive :( Quote
retrotaco Posted April 1, 2016 Posted April 1, 2016 Definitely worth hitting up places you've asked before again too - I've asked at that mall store before, when the Silver Centurian just came out, and the guys working there were obnoxious and blew me off - and the entire time they probably not only had Silver Centurians but also a 3 year old Iron Patriot? lol geez - definitely worth re-asking though, you never know! You're so lucky!! I pre ordered that but never got the figure because it was only with Xbox and PlayStation at WalMart. I've been after one for a couple years but they're just so expensive :( Yeah, I've been kinda on the fence about collecting Marvel (I collect DC and that's pricey enough ) but I really like the Spider-Man sets and that Ghost Rider looks so good, plus I like the Civil War sets a lot and really like the Marvel films...so maybe this was fate's way of letting me know 'screw your wallet' lol Quote
SandMirror38 Posted April 1, 2016 Posted April 1, 2016 (edited) CM4Sci, is that a picture of the official Civil War Spiderman figure as your profile pic?! Edited April 1, 2016 by SandMirror38 Quote

KCMatze Posted April 1, 2016 Posted April 1, 2016 Thanks, I wasn't sure about that. But again, it's a risky day to believe something on the Internet ;-) Quote
