After months of searching, today I finally completed my ML W-2 set.
Target Commerce had a full pegging of the W-2 figures. I latched onto
the Masked Wolverine and Green Suit Spider-Man. There remains a
Green Wrecking Crew, 2 Cap America, Gold Mask Madame, Fantomex,
A Drax, and a Blue suit Iron Man. 14.99. Great thing was that none of
these new ones had any creasing or dents, which is unusual around
these parts.........we still have the Haggerty Bender striking once and
while on "new" figures
The post above is from Pontiac Michigan.......I keep forgetting to properly
sign-on. Sorry.
Just found Spidey and Wolverine in CT.
Spider-Man took quite a bashing for not looking like the prototype but I actually like the the green more than I thought I would.
Hey guys just a quick question I found a green spiderman and a walmart hawkeye looking to trade for a new arkham killer croc.....any one interested????
I can also confirm at two Targets today in NC. One case had Dark Wolverine (masked), Big Time Spiderman (Black) and Madame Hydra and Piledriver.
The other Target had the DW and BTSpidey but Madame Mask and Thunderball (Green).
I found them on Sunday at Walmart and ended up buying the Spider-Man too, after I vowed that I wouldn't. Looked kind of neat to me in person.
Question for those who have fouond these at Target, was there pegs still there for them?
The local Targets here have either dumped the pegs or have one peg with nothing on it. Glad tohere they are hitting NC, I hope Florida is next.
My target had the marvel 2 packs on the legends pegs...
Noticing something weird here. If a Target had one ML pegwarming for a while, then they seem to be getting in a new case now, even if they sold out recently. But if they had been sold out for months, the system now reads Not Available and they are not getting a new case in, at least not yet. If these stores with a pegwarmer hanging around sold out recently, their online inventory would read Out Of Stock. But these ones that sold out a long time ago changed to say Not Available, which is the same thing the system says when one Target does not carry an item at all that another Target does carry. It almost seems like ML was automatically deleted from stores who were sold out for a month or more.
You can check stock status of ML at Target here:

first you need to physically scan the tag at target. it will say the following: active, discountinued, clearance or nothing. if it says active, then they will be carrying it in that store. discountinued=no longer carry them. clearance and nothing could mean they are changing the dcpi to a newer one, hence to get rid of all the product under the old number, they will not be carrying anymore at that store, and/or they will be getting them in under a new dcpi with new packaging. star wars gets a new dcpi about every 2 years. that is the general life cycle of packaging of the product. new packaging= new dcpi for the most part. got this info from the hardlines etl at my target.
Found Madame Hydra & Piledriver @ 2 different Walmarts tonight. Spidery was gone @ both. Picked up a Madame Hydra.
ML is discontinued @ the Target I work @ despite the Klaw & 2 Stealth Iron Men hanging on the pegs.

Since last week when the first sightings started to pop up, I had been checking Target daily using the store locator .
My store had 2 figures, therefore, "limited availability". On the morning, I found these, the status changed to "Available". The other Targets in my area have been out of stock for months (Not Available) except for the one store with many peg warmers. Those stores now have an "Out of Stock" status. I thought it was odd that only my store received them since it does not have the volume of customers as the other stores. Your theory appears to be true.
Found two cases of them at Walmart the other day. That was surprising seeing how hard they were to get at first.
