Since our other topic was filling up, I figured a specific thread might be due for this NEW release as opposed to the re-releases/filling out your collection thread that's been going on.
So someone has claimed to have found this entire wave (Doc Ock, Ghost Rider, Symby Spidey, and Thor) at Target, as most of you know by now. But the real question is, have you? Have you looked, called around, etc.? If you have, please state which store and your location so other collectors can go check it out!
Thanks guys and best of luck to all of you in finding Marvel Wave 3!

My Target has Indy and SW but no Marvel Muggs. The revamped isle didn't have any Marvel action figures or even places for them but had Hulk toys on clearance.

The only interesting thing at my Target was Hulkey Pokey Hulk on clearence for 8 bucks >_>;;
I'm gonna call bullcrap on the guy on take5aday who said he found them, they are being released 9/1, why would a Target have them this early?

Been to a couple Targets and TRU's lately, hardly any Marvel toys out at the moment. I wouldn't expect to see these until 9/1 or later.

I looked yesterday and there was no marvel section at all they were redoing the toy section. They had a huge star wars section with restock of darth maul and some others but no marvel anything.

I'm hoping the "no Marvel Muggs" ordeal a lot of our Targets/Walmarts are going through means a new shipment coming soon.

I live in the Quad Cities which is half Iowa and half Illinois and I hit the *Mugg Trinity on both sides of the river just about every other day and I have seen nothing yet.
*Mugg Trinity = Toys R' Us, Wal-Mart and Target

Big tip(s) for mugg hunting at Target, TRU. There is a barcode that can be scanned where the figures should be if you go and scan it at the price scanner it should tell you if there are more in back and if so how many. Its how to tell if they got new stock waiting to be put out. My local target has 12 marvels waiting to be put out as of today. So i'm praying they either got restock or new merch.
Note both stores use a very similar system. Target you dont have to press any buttons it will tell you if theres anything in back. TRU uses a new scanner with 4 buttons. Use the button on the left to go into inventory mode then scan item. Press the left button twice if you wish to see if any other stores have that particular style in stock. Also know that TRU sometimes locks out the scanners but most are unlocked at the stores near me.
As well note that both stores do not differentiate between the different style, just the model. So if your looking for Marvel you'll end up getting numbers for all the Marvels they have in store. Not just a Iron Man or Spiderman.
One more note the scanners are updated every hour or so with internal inventory. So that should help when it comes to knowing if stuff is actually in hand on the floor for purchase and not in the back. Back stock is updated as it goes onto floor and when it comes in from the trucks.
Hope this helps you guys out. I'd write a guide about Walmart but its tricky to use the scanners for inventory and lots of stealing makes it inacurate.

Hey guys Just got back from Target and I found a single Dock Ock. I left him behind though as it looked like someone had kicked a field goal with the box *grrrr* The search is on Loungers!

I tryed your tip BZ and it's very helpful. I grabbed a worker at Target and told him if he would bring me all the Marvel Muggs in back stock I'd buy at least 2 of each new one. He brought me 2 Blk Spidey, 2 Doc ock, and a Thor. No Ghost Rider yet. Thanks again BZ. Also guys if you ask for this type of service the worker assume you're a secret shopper and will do what you ask. I used to work retail and the Secret Shoppers used to ask wierd stuff about back-stock all the time.
