I'll probably pick up multiple sets too, so I can try to get some of the silver chase figures. Also, I think it would be cool to have an army of a few hundred of these guys so that they can go up against my MUSCLE army! I'll probably end up getting three sets total.

It's probably getting alot of exposure for the board too, since it's on the front page of the AKIA.

Hell Yeah!!!, but they won't be scheduled to be in a bout until after the end of the tournament. But do you really think I can keep them out until then? Hahahaha!

[CiX22]

I went to TRU and another Target today and neither place had any evidence that a enw generation of Millions of Unusual Small Creatures Lurking Everywhere had landed...

Maybe they haven't hit So Cal yet?

But hopefully soon! I'm getting jealous!

Has anyone spotted The new Ultimate Muscle on the east coast? I live around ocean city maryland, and have looked in about 4 different wallmarts and no luck at all!!! I didn't even watch fox box today, any toy previews?

[Warsman]

nothing in central Fl and nothing on the TV

[The Shizit]

i went to wallary world at 3am yesterday, or today, whatever, anyway i cmae up empty handed. im in PA, so i dont think they even hit the east coast yet... so i guess for now what they say is true "the west side is the best side"

[doc_moore_j]

Not sure about that. I am less than two hours away from Johnny and I haven't seen jack yet. So for all of you who have found these already, up yours!!! Kidding. Love you guys.

[pasvagrsvj]

Let's not forget that I work at a TRU on the east coast...my eyes are peeled.

[Kendaman]

Cool a TRU guy we can use...I mean befreind this guy

[ironmask]

yeah, i'm in com blo us ohio, (columbus)... and i have been stopping in wal mart everyday, and tru on the weekends...nothing. and bandai's stupid site says nothing either... haven't seen anything on e-bay either.

i think i might cry.

I think it's a waste of time to try to find them now. I'd recommend waiting until AFTER Christmas. Things are nutty as it is, and with the increased shoppers, there's little chance that we'll find anything anyway. Also, it will take a while for the stores to get the figures. They've only been out for a couple weeks on the west coast, so it will take some time for them to come east to our neck of the woods.

Like I said in another thread, if anyone finds them on Ebay, don't bid. If we do, that just encourages the scalpers to snatch up all the toys from the stores so we can't find them at retail.

...wow. do i feel like the novice...
but point well made, tortle...
good advice too.
but i have to admit, i feel like i am 5,6,7 years old again, anticipating these things... i just grew my hair back out, and i am pulling it out already!!!!

oh yeah, blocken jr. for president in 2004!

[pligda78]

hey everyone on ebay if you search under "ultimate muscle" some dude is selling the ultimate muscle action figures. he's from missouri. so that means the new toys aren't just available on the west coast. i didn't see the action figures. he has two up for bidding rammenman and kevin mask. so if you can't wait till they pop up at a nearby store. then happy biddings. i myself will just wait till they're available near me. http://cgi.ebay.com/...item=1925256527

[Wraith]

this dude is a scalper, wait 2 or 3 weeks and buy them yourself, if you buy from him, he will just do it again and then no one gets any of them for a good price.

[gojiman]

I'm back from lunch. Went to Wal-Mart. Saw nothing. Came back empty handed
I was soooooooo sure I'd find them today!!
There's another Wally World on my way home. I'll check that one too.
Wish me luck!!

[gojiman]

SCORE! SCORE! SCORE!
I got a FULL set and 2 big figures (Ramenman & Kevin Mask).
I was gonna get 2 full sets but the store (Wal-Mart) was one pack short of a second full set. I left the other 3 packs on the shelf for some other obsessed fan-boy with his priorities all screwed-up. They had all 8 of the large figs., but at $8.00 a pop, I figured I had better save some money for other things; food, mortgage, gas, etc. (I know, pretty silly).

[arforbes]

Right on!

I am still waiting for them to show up in stores around here in Arizona. I have stopped by numerous toy stores many times over the past couple of weeks, but I have still found nothing. They'll get here soon though! I hope!

[gojiman]

Hey Jkaris,
I noticed some of your 1.5" figs. are silver.
I only got one set and I got how many silers?

0.....zip.....zilch.....nada!!

you may have gotten lucky on your sets.

......and what about the "Battle Card Game"?
any idea what that's about?
I got King Muscle, Kid Muscle, Robin Mask, Kevin Mask.
Maybe they will sell the cards seperately soon?

[pasvagrsvj]

Just found them at a WalMart in NC. I checked the computer at tru and it wasn't even in the system.

[The Shizit]

still nothing in PA

[Wraith]

florida is barren

[Tortle]

Just found them at a WalMart in NC.

Cool! That means that they've been distributed as far as the east coast...

I suspect that there are plenty of other factors happening with the distribution of toys that may make these hard to find for some of us for a while. The time it takes for a toy to reach a store will probably be longer if that store is geographically located far from a distribution center. Also, different stores get different assortments, so who knows if some stores will even get Ultimate Muscles?

[doc_moore_j]
