Like the Loki/Frost Giant or the new Sentinel? I see the Loki/Giant on ebay now, so maybe no too long. Any seeing these in stores in the states?

Thanks,

You are in for a bit of a wait on the Sentinal. Probably not until fall.

However, the Frost Giant/Bill Foster packs should be pretty soon.

I've been seeing shelf tags for them for a few weeks now.

Glad to hear bout the loki/giant. I wonder though about the sentinel. The new one that was showed off at Toy Fair seems rather dumbed down from the BAF one, which I think has great details. There's supposed to be two versions though, so I wonder if the alternate version is going to be a bit cooler in shape and design. The flared shoulders and shiny metal coloration don't jazz me much.

I hit the Walmart in East Stroudsburg, PA last night. No Gigantic Battles. And only a handful of MU, Thor, and Spider-Man series. Tons & tons of Iron Man 2 figures.

One of each just showed up on eBay too, domestic. So yep, we should start seeing them in stores now too.

This morning I went to a Walmart in Farmer's Branch (or Carrollton?), TX in search of these new Marvel Giant packs.

They had no Marvel Universe. None, nada, zilch. Too much peg/shelf space is devoted to Iron Man and Thor, IMO. No Giant packs, either. :(

I'll try to stop by another WM today or tomorrow.

Same here kcbstuff1. I went looking at a couple Walmarts yesterday, and the Thor and Iron Man sections have actually doubled!! Thor even has an endcap now. I need this Thor movie to do extremely well.

1) Because I'm huge fan of Thor (as if the avatar wasn't a big enough indicator)
2) The Avengers movie success will probably be predicated on how well Thor and Cap do.
3) I need that peg space cleared up for more MU goodness!!!
