Is the Iron man Metallic? Just wondering what the difference may be as there's an Iron Man Unmasked version that's appeared 'Elsewhere'? (trying not to share spoilers, just in case!)

looks like the same body

This iron man mask is completely off.
Other one his visor is off that appears 'elsewhere'

Postby **MadLove** » Thu Apr 28, 2016 10:02 am

They both lack masks. Iron Mans body is metallic. I wanna say Caps is too but can't remember. I can verify when I get to work if someone else can't first.

Its called breaking street date. Like movies and video games they can get in trouble if they do. Sucks. I just want everything and I am going to be out of town on FCBD. seems like I missed 9 out of the last 10 FCBD

I should totally have thought of street date issues.

Hopefully we can get these in Canada, if not, would someone be able to grab me a pair at cost?

Where?! You're in NY right? I need a Cap to go with my MCC Iron Man!

I'm in Brooklyn.
I know the bigger stores are having them out on that day but very limited.
Try your nearest shop. Call first if theyre far lol

I've made a few calls, no luck. Not willing to share the name of the shop where you got them? I would love to avoid having to wait in a long line at Midtown for one of these.

My local shop is sold out.
I asked if he was getting more so i can help others.
But he only had 2 sets. I sent my friend to get one for himself. He was strict .

Postby **Blake85** » Thu Apr 28, 2016 2:18 pm

Only 3 spots i know should have that day is
Forbidden Planet.
St Marks Comics
And All MidTowns

Postby **beckysaurus** » Thu Apr 28, 2016 4:01 pm

Just called the biggest comic stores in SD and they aren't even getting them. Hmmm..

Congrats blake on getting a set! Cap is so awesome.

Postby **slimpicks** » Thu Apr 28, 2016 4:05 pm

Ya called a big comic book store in san diego and they said they got 6 sets in and they already sold out

Postby **Blake85** » Thu Apr 28, 2016 5:38 pm

Yeah i notice a lot are just selling them.
Well its still a week.
Maybe some didnt arive yet.
I'll check other spots this weekend

Postby **RogueSolo** » Thu Apr 28, 2016 5:52 pm

I checked in with one of two local shops.
The guy behind the counter gave me the "you're not a regular" side-eye, and said anything they have for FCBD has to remain unopened until the night before.
Tomorrow I try for better luck with shop #2!

I know what you mean Marty. There's something universal about being treated like a second-class citizen when you're not at your regular LCS.

You have to remember, these are highly sought after items, so there's a definite threat of people trying to shop hop and score multiple sets to flip.

Local shop here is not getting them. Was going to try Vegas but not sure if I want to traverse that mess. Might try Havasu tho. Hit up Red Robin while I'm there.

Postby **MyLittleFunkos** » Fri Apr 29, 2016 9:13 am

I'm going to have to do some calling later today. I highly doubt my local shop will get any, but hey, fingers crossed! Congrats Blake and Michael for finding a set!

I called Maximum comics, they said they have some but are not for sale right now, and they don't know what they are doing with them. I don't have the fortitude to stand in that line for hours or wake up early to be in front.

Postby **jester00** » Fri Apr 29, 2016 11:00 am

My LCS still hasn't gotten them. But if he does get a shipment he will call me. But it's not looking good

Postby **Topshelf19k** » Fri Apr 29, 2016 12:28 pm

If I find some I'll be sure to let people the name of the store I find them at.

I'm calling around to a few local shops today/tomorrow and will definitely add to the list if I can track any down :thumbleft:

thanks Manny! I'm east-coast but it might still help someone out.

My LCS isn't stocking.....

Yeah the line waiting will be a pain. Especially waiting all the time to find out they only got 2 sets and sold out already ..

Postby **RogueSolo** » Fri Apr 29, 2016 5:49 pm

Ship #2 said they didn't order any.

Postby **minusdatails** » Fri Apr 29, 2016 6:01 pm

I really hope I can snag a pair of these somewhere...at least Cap!

Postby **StarWarner** » Fri Apr 29, 2016 6:26 pm

My LCS said they were invoiced for some, but didn't receive them yet. They were told that they should receive a few sets before next Saturday. They said the ordered three cases originally and were told they weren't getting any. Then a few weeks ago they were told they would get one case. I haven't talked to other comic shops, because I'm loyal to my LCS, but other people I've talked to have said their LCSs have ordered them, but aren't getting any. It's strange to me that exclusives for Free Comic Book Day aren't going to be at LCSs.

Postby **PopGoestheJess** » Fri Apr 29, 2016 9:36 pm

Will Popcultcha have these?

I'm not paying an absurd price for them. I'll make my own Steve if I must.

Yeah I called the Times Square Midtown Comics last night and they said they hadn't gotten them in yet and didn't know what the policy/procedure for them was gonna be yet.

Postby **Blake85** » Fri Apr 29, 2016 10:44 pm

I will try my best to get more.
Only hope will be midtown comics if they order 12 cases haha and not give them all away.

Postby **FunkoNewb** » Mon May 02, 2016 3:54 pm

None of the shops around me are stocking any. What a disappointment. Really need these as well.

Postby **PinkeyPikaPika90** » Mon May 02, 2016 4:07 pm

I just need Steve since the else where Iron Man I have is super cute... I really think they should be at least offered in the Funko store or some online retailer too many of our shops aren't receiving any... I'd really like to keep my #teamCap complete lol

Postby **SirMace** » Mon May 02, 2016 4:10 pm

Would love a set, but can see these are gonna be hard to get hold of!! Awesome figures though!!

Postby **Jenes1** » Mon May 02, 2016 8:26 pm

Someone just posted on another forum - Hastings has both up for sale online www.gohastings.com. If you go to their website, search "free comic book day". The only two items listed are unmasked Steve Rodgers and unmasked iron man. $14.99 each, but way better then they will be on eBay.

Postby **groundhog7s** » Mon May 02, 2016 8:57 pm

With shipping and tax it comes up to $40 for the set. I went ahead and ordered, but it was against my better judgment.

Postby **minusdatails** » Mon May 02, 2016 9:01 pm

Thank you for the heads up! I went ahead and ordered both, let's hope it doesn't get cancelled...
