Frozen Assasin Posted November 17, 2014 Posted November 17, 2014 Avengers Fortress ? Do we have the set list ? Quote
The Brigante Posted November 17, 2014 Posted November 17, 2014 Went to my local Toys R Us on my lunch break today and saw no sign of Rocket. Asked and the guy said he'd heard nothing about the RR Poly Quote

HawkLord Posted November 17, 2014 Posted November 17, 2014 Hit two trus last night. The first one had no raccoons, no tags for them, and just the ninja turtles promo advertised throughout the lego section. We asked a stock person and they didn't know anything about a raccoon polybag. The other one basically the same thing, but as I was checking out I saw a box of raccoons behind the counter and asked about them. The cashier seemed alittle nervous like she didn't know what to do and told me she had just sold some to another person and thought it should be ok to sell some to me. It seems to me that maybe TRU is confused given they got in a raccoon polybag that clearly lists exclusive and they're running a ninja turtles polybag at the same time. Quote
vriverajr3 Posted November 17, 2014 Posted November 17, 2014 (edited) For everyone running into employees not knowing what you're talking about, make sure you give them the UPC to check. The lady i spoke too didn't know either until i asked her to check the UPC, then was able to find them for me. It also helps to call ahead of time so your not wasting any gas. UPC: 673419218139 Item #: 084829 Good luck :) Edited November 17, 2014 by vriverajr3 Quote
JGW3000 Posted November 17, 2014 Posted November 17, 2014 I just got the TRU run-around. No Raccoons on the shelf. Asked customer service, and they said "we have a large quantity out, $4.95 each". Checked with the guy stocking the shelves, and he said, "Not out until the 21st, and get one free with $30 purchase." So I guess I am going back on Friday and making a whole lot of $30 purchases, and returns. Quote
clra2 Posted November 17, 2014 Posted November 17, 2014 I went to 2 toys r us's today. One didn't have. Wasn't sure if they sold out or they just didn't have any in stock but some guy went to the back to check. Went to another one and asked customer service since they weren't on the floor and they had them behind the desk. I asked if they had a limit and the manager told me "yea however many we have left" (which he said was around 20) so I bought 7 to get the free Mikey poly. I'm gonna invest in 2 and stuff some stockings with the rest :) Quote
Ultron Posted November 17, 2014 Posted November 17, 2014 Wait, which hairpiece are we talking about? Does anyone have a pic? Quote
Borador Posted November 17, 2014 Posted November 17, 2014 Wait, which hairpiece are we talking about? Does anyone have a pic? I THINK they're talking about the guy in the blue jacket's hair from this picture here: http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=84574&st=1900#entry2055630 Is what it sounds like. To me, that just looks like Sleepy Kid Hair, but I can't be too sure. Quote

JaseTJ Posted November 17, 2014 Posted November 17, 2014 (edited) Bigger picture with that hairpiece from the modular set- nothing else is prelim or rendered or anything, so there's no reason it would look different from the actual piece... It looks almost identical, but not quite as detailed... If it is any different, it really needs to be shorter though. The piece we really need is one that looks short, but has a bit of a spike in the front at the least. As it is, the spikey hair piece can be a bit too long to accurately represent characters such as Hawkeye. So yeah.. you can be the judge. ( -if you want to see the bigger size. It resized slightly when I originally posted, despite being in a spoiler.) Edited November 17, 2014 by JaseTJ Quote
TheLegoDr Posted November 17, 2014 Posted November 17, 2014 So it looks like Raccoon will be only free with purchases..yet so many people have already purchased them..hmm Do they let you buy the set and then get the poly and return the set, but keep the poly? I hadn't done that before, but I don't particularly care to spend any money at TRU, so if I can help it I won't. I'll buy the raccoon at $5 each, but I don't want any $30 sets... Quote

Though I've never done it, I've heard of tons of people who did it and were able to keep it. Quote
Numbuh1Nerd Posted November 18, 2014 Posted November 18, 2014 That hair is quite the conundrum. Some angles make it seem undoubtedly the existing piece, but others say exactly the opposite. It would be odd for them to produce two hairpieces so similar, though. Suppose we'll have to wait until some hi-res pictures come out. That Goblin hat though I can't possibly wait to see the Spidey set that comes from that! Quote

That's the impression that I'm getting. Especially after seeing the "not for sale" on the back of the Rocket polybag. It seems like maybe tru got the TMNT polybag confused with the Rocket, because Rocket's packaging looks more like a promo than the TMNT's packaging. As for returns with a promo, with it being the holidays there's lots of new seasonal employees that stores are adding. I'm sure it would be easy to make that return fly with them. Old, grouchy employees probably not so much. Quote
Amazing Bricks Posted November 18, 2014 Posted November 18, 2014 I went to TRU today and showed them the item #. The employee searched it and said they might get it, but it's not guaranteed and she told me they currently don't have it in the store. Quote
LMB10 Posted November 18, 2014 Posted November 18, 2014 What would be good about it being different hair? None of the team could use it. The best hair for Hawkeye would be the Mutt Williams hair in a different colour. Quote

The best hair for Hawkeye would be the Mutt Williams hair in a different colour. Like I said before, what we need is a piece that works for people with short hair that's even slightly spiked. Like Mutt's hair, but that goes up a tiny bit instead of combed down. Quote
Borex Posted November 18, 2014 Posted November 18, 2014 Hawkeye doesn't need hair you silly people. He needs his mask. Quote
Steph 104th Posted November 18, 2014 Posted November 18, 2014 Hawkeye doesn't need hair you silly people. He needs his mask. As much as I would like to see a mask the chances of it happening are slim. What type of an Avenger of the MCU will where a pink an purple mask. Quote
Colossus Posted November 18, 2014 Posted November 18, 2014 REAL heroes wear pointy purple and pink masks AND include loincloths on their gear! Quote
Dadster Posted November 18, 2014 Posted November 18, 2014 I got mine. Went to the local TRU and saw the TMNT promo and was floored... I looked all around and no sign of Rocket's poly I finally went to the service desk and the cashier had the box open on the floor. Cashier stated that they rec'd quite a few calls about it. Maybe the store just didn't have time/ place to display them? For those that can't find one, I would suggest calling before traveling. Try to be patient though folks, they are out there... Quote
Numbuh1Nerd Posted November 19, 2014 Posted November 19, 2014 It would be really nice to get a piece like the one used for Blade in Lego Marvel. Hawkeye could really use a new hairpiece though. None of the existing ones quite nail it yet. I'd trade the hair for his cowl any day though! (Can we get a comics-styled set with Hawkeye in it please? Or at least one that looks like Hawkeye from Matt Fraction's run?) Quote
ToaDraco Posted November 19, 2014 Posted November 19, 2014 I would love a Blade minifig, better yet a Ghost Rider minifig! On topic though, a new hairpiece for that purpose would be nice. Quote
