Probably online, the New York Comic Con or most likely next year's Toy Fair.

Go to Toys R Us's facebook page and look really, really hard.

You'll get one for cheaper by the 16th if you find it.

Ugh, I miss KB Toys, they use to be fully stocked with all the good stuff.

TRU is good too, but you gotta be super lucky if you wanna find what you want.

I remember the time when KB Toys was closing down everywhere and everything was on extreme Clearence.
I went one time to check it out. The store was COMPLETELY empty, except for a small pile of stuff in the front which had some Indiana Jones stuff and such.

Guess what else I saw there.

A whole self of a hundred Bandai Creation figures on the left side of the store untouched. WOW
Too bad I already had them all at the time. But wow, no one bought them, even for dirt cheap.
And remember, the store was pretty much completely empty. WOW

They all probably got thrown out.

Are those figures really considered shit to the general public and kids.

Amazing

I agree. They're too great a departure from what the characters actually look like. They look like cheap Hong Kong bootlegs to me. I actually hope that people don't buy them so the line dies of quickly.

Saw the Gigan wave at K-Mart, pegs said $9.99 - that's better than TRU!

Is there any legit source for what the initial sales price for the BANDAI Creation/USA figures (6.5", 12", Tokyo Vinyl) is/was intended to be...? I don't really need regular common spans, but legit information from BANDAI, if possible! Thanks in advance! :)

It's going to be a while before I get around to buying the 2nd wave of Fusion figures. Monsterarts are stealing my money.
I'll get them eventually. I was really lookin' forward to Fusion Burning Goji... Then he came out. Why does he have Brown burning splotches on him? Whatever...

And Rainbow Mothra looks awesome!

I ran across the new wave at my local Toys R Us... and I found myself doing the exact same thing I did when the first wave came out. I passed on Rainbow Mothra just as I did Gigan. They're neat, but for some reason I am content with all of the original editions I have. I'll pick them up eventually, but I'd rather keep pumping money into Marmits :freak: .

My friend went on a toy run in the Minneapolis/St.Paul metro area a couple weeks ago and was told by a Toys R Us employee that Bandai Creation Godzillas were no longer going to be stocked in this region. There was only a spot for Tokyo Vinyl and the 12", but they were completely empty. He managed to find the first three of wave 8 for me at K-Mart, but I have no idea how I'm going to get the second wave. I hope K-Mart carries it.

I am staying the weekend with my dad and decided to kill some time today by going to K-Mart and was surprised to see that they had finally started carrying Godzilla figures again! They had the normal Godzilla 1968 and Gigan, plus the Fusion Godzilla 1968, Fusion Gigan and Fusion Mechagodzilla. I was hoping that they would have the Fusion Burning Godzilla, but no luck there. I didn't buy any of them because I have no place to put them since I already have all the normal figures, but I will throw out the same offer that I did before to where I will pick up any of these figures if someone on here wants them as long as the retail price and shipping is covered. I'm not looking to profit from them, I just want to keep the figures moving so that (God willing) if Bandai Creation decides to get off their asses and make some new molds, hopefully that K-Mart would be able to stock them.

If i was there , and depending on which figures , i would have grabbed the whole lot since it's dirt cheap and sell them on ebay but then that's just me. ;)

^ My thoughts exactly. I even saw someone selling an entire box of them on Ebay that a store had lying around for a good amount. I had actually considered buying it so I too could resell it for a profit.

I got the Fusion '68 Godzilla yesterday. It's pretty nice, definitely worth the 10.99. Just nice to see him in an American store.
Fire Rodan appears to have had a delicious caramel filling.
