    Black Manta Spotted At Marshal's!

    I was doing some routine shopping last week and stopped at the Marshall's located close to me in Hicksville, New York. I did my usual perusing in the clothing area then made my way to the toy section, which is a pretty good one, believe it or not. Any-hoo...I scanned the shelves and BAM!! There he was, sitting on the top shelf none other than Black Manta! Yep, unfortunately He was the only DC Retro figure in the store, but he was defintely the Holy Grail of the days purchases. I'm going back next week, hopefully I can score some more

    PS-He was only $9.99!

              It's really weird and occult how discount/ closeout places Tuesday Morning and Marshall's stock their stores. Seems like each store is completely independent of the other.

              There's actually a "hotline" you can call and if you have the SKU for an item, you can find out which Tuesday Mornings have it in stock. Maybe Marshall's has something similar???

                Thanks man, glad to be aboard.
                Unfortunately, no luck this morning. Huntington had nothing @ 11am, Melviile had nada @ 1030a .

                    Marshalls only got wave 2 back around december so whatever is left has been lingering in their warehouses and stores since then..they never got any of the other waves

                      Yeah, my store never got any of the Xmas season shipment, but lo and behold, a single Two-Face figure was sitting on a shelf a couple weeks ago. Bizarre.

                            You guys aseriously, I went to Marshalls last night after reading this thread with a glimmer of hope for mego greatness and there he was in all his glory, by himself just as you had found yours, BLACK MANTA for $9.99!!!!!! This was one figure that I really needed too, thanks for starting this thread.
