Found a MarvelScape today.
'Sup. New member. Move thread if needed.
Anyway, I was in Wal-Mart in Brunsiwick, Maine today. There, I found about 20 Marvel sets. HAving only ROTV, I picked one up. For all we know, 'Scape may come back in the area, then possibly spread. But then again, that's hoping too high. Figured I'd let you guys know, if you're in the area. |

Re: Found a MarvelScape today.
Those aren't that rare currently, and are about available for retail price. Of course, recently I've ordered my own set, opened it, and found 90% of the figures missing, so maybe it's not as common as I thought.

Xaven, what was the price?
Just curious if it was marked down. |

Re: Found a MarvelScape today.
$23.00. I think they were selling it for $40 when it first came out.

Re: Found a MarvelScape today.
It must be nice LOL I never got the chance to get my own Marvel set and I have never even seen it in any wal-marts in my area. Good find.

Re: Found a MarvelScape today.
While that set is REALLY common and goes cheap, I am really shocked that a retail store that size even kept any around! Makes me wonder what ELSE they have in their warehouses that someone overlooked.
PM me about any custom scenery |

Re: Found a MarvelScape today.
I was at the Walmart next to the Walmart distribution center in my area last week and took a stroll pass the toy section just to see if they suddenly had any Heroscape in stock. No luck, but I thought it was worth a shot since all the blow out sales popped up online. Walmart is known for picking up surplus stuff at a deep discount if they think they can sell it. I would not have been surprised if they bought up a lot when WOTC had their fire sale. Perhaps they did any that is why you found all those Marvel sets.

Re: Found a MarvelScape today.
I haven't seen any Heroscape in my local Wal-Mart, and I even live in somewhat close proximity to you. Good to see a fellow Maine 'Scaper around here!

Re: Found a MarvelScape today.
Most of a year ago I found a badly damaged MarvelScape box in the clearance aisle at a Baltimore-area WalMart.
I took it to customer service to see how much they wanted for it, and they couldn't find it in their system it had been gone for so long. The manager recognized it as Something Ancient and offered it to me for $10. Then another lady tried to ring me up and somehow she saw the correct price in her computer, which was $20 (maybe $23, like yours), but the Manager Had Spoken so I got it for $10. There's my MarvelScape WalMart story. Welcome to the site! |

Re: Found a MarvelScape today.
That's a price I'd pay for that set for sure...too bad they didn't have the DnD sets as well.

Re: Found a MarvelScape today.
Last month, one of our local Wal-Marts had multiple Marvel sets (at least eight) for $15 each. I bought an extra one for myself, but I already have a couple, so I couldn't rationalize buying more than one.
They've been on the clearance aisle for around $25 for awhile (that was my first Heroscape set, a year ago), but they only recently dropped the price. Last edited by akden; February 14th, 2012 at 09:46 AM. Reason: Man, 100th post! It should have been more celebratory! |
