Wow, forget my October comment then.

God dang it Kmart hurry up and put Mechagodzilla out before you get any new shipments.

Mothra looks terrific. The other two look absolutely terrible. I still insist that the Burning Godzilla has a truly pathetic sculpt, like someone took the original Japanese Burning Godzilla and beat the shit out of it with an ugly stick.

I expected the Fusion Godzillas to look better than they did, but yeah, I passed on them. I still want the Fusion Gigan, though. Oddly that's just about the only one I haven't run into. X_X

Oh man Jomei, you've got me very excited to go to TRU tomorrow...

Will definitely get both Mothra's as well if they are there.

And probably that Fusion Millennium

I went back to K-mart today, but they were in the middle of renovation with the toy section, so most the action figures were back in storage. I did find where they were going to be moved though, and sure enough found 2 shelves marked for 6.5" Godzilla, but none for Tokyo Vinyls. At least I know where to head straight to next time I go there.

I'll be picking up the fusion Mothra. I've had the standard from the first line for years now, and its a gorgeous toy.

Jomei has an excellent write-up on the new wave of figures up on Skreeonk.com, check it out!

In case anyone was skeptical on my account of Godzilla at K Mart..

Despite having just said the Fusion 68 was one of the only sculpts I haven't been impressed with something in me caved today and I bought it.

I actually ended up at the second K Mart in my area later in the day, approached the Fusion Gigan as it is literally the only 6" of this wave I don't have, but unfortunately it was kind of banged up so I left it.

So not to rub it in or anything but actually both K Marts near me have Godzilla - and at only 9.99 compared to TRU 12.99

Praise K Mart!

Right as Godzilla figures start to appear at K-Mart, my local Missoula K-Mart finally closes. Just my luck. I really want that Fusion G2K and haven't been able to find it online..

I already asked in another thread, but has anyone seen these at CVS lately? I might make a trip across town if there's a chance they'll be there..

FlawedCoil, maybe you could ask your store to order some? I would think it has to be available to them.
