We all know that the Giant-Man series is an exclusive set to the Wal-Mart stores, but is Toys "R" Us getting revenge for that? I noticed that in my area, only Toys "R" US was selling the Fantastic Four Classics series of action figures. Now it seems that if you want to complete the Onslaught series build-a-figure from Marvel Legends 13, then you better run down to Toys "R" Us for that as well. It seems that Geoffery and the gang at TRU are the only ones that I have seen with the Bad Guy collection. All of the Wal-Marts that I have visited don't have anything on the shelf concerning the Onslaught series. All my eyes could see where Giant-Man, Apocalypse, or the Legendary Riders series, as well as a plethora of Spider-Man figures.

TRU also seems to be a wave or two ahead of Wal-Mart and Target when it comes to the Justice League Unlimited figures as well.

Now if only they could work together so that I can find the Super Skrull and the AOA Weapon X variant, then I could go home happy. Ah well, I just have to continue the hunt and wait and see.

In fact, nearly 2 months later, Wal-Mart has finally gotten in shipments of ML-13, the Onslaught series. But Wally World has been the first store that I have seen to receive the 3rd wave of Mattel's DC Superheroes and Azrael looks HOT!!!!

My theory may have to change as Target was the first to get the 18th wave of Spider-Man Classics, and boy do they look good.
