Last Toys R Us Free Shipping Promotion of the Year – 12/17 Only

Just got an email – Toys R Us is having their last free shipping promotion of the year, today, 12/17 only.

Toys R Us

I took a quick look, and there’s a big mix of stuff that you might want to pick up if you skipped it earlier. For example, they have the Sue and Johnny Storm Marvel Legends 2-pack, the Giants of Justice Flash (also on sale), and a bunch of Joes and Marvel Universe figures in the action figure section their free shipping store. Some of the stuff is already out of stock, like the UFC figures, so you might want to check this out early.

The free shipping store goes away at the end of today. Happy Shopping!

Marvel Legends Crimson Dynamo and Titanium Man Test Shots on eBay

I am late to the game seeing these two auctions for Iron Man action figure test shots, because they end in a few hours today.  But they appear to be for the 6-inch Marvel Legends or Iron Man lines.

The talk of Crimson Dynamo and Titanium Man in plastic form started at Toy Fair this year, where Hasbro announced the two for its ongoing 6-inch Iron Man line.  At San Diego Comic-Con, painted prototypes for the two were in the display case but removed just prior to the start of the show.  When asked, Hasbro’s Marvel team said they didn’t want to show figures that might not make it to retail – the problem was that the retail channel was still full of previous series of Iron Man figures.

While Hasbro has committed to 3.75-inch scale for the Iron Man 2 movie, they did state in a recent Q&A that they were still hoping to bring out these two figures in 6-inch scale.

Now that the Marvel Legends series 2.5 2-packs, which include Stealth Iron Man and Sharon Carter, have hit Toys R Us both at retail and online, I keep hearing how some people missed the original Iron Man and Maria Hill 2-pack (see my review). These are pretty much non-existent at their bricks and mortar stores now, but they just became available again at the TRU website.

The Dum Dum and Stealth Iron Man packs are out of stock, but they still have the Fantastic Four and the Kree / Skrull 2-packs in stock.

Happy shopping!
