Sorry about that, but I have just a couple Thor toys left. Thanks to everyone for helping me clear them out. The good thing is that I now have a lot of the rest still available so there is now a deal on the set of 5 minus Thor. Actually this is a great deal if you want some cool rare (discontinued) Marvel Toys. Includes Spider-Man, Wolverine (Very rare), Captain America (Very Rare), Hulk and Iron Man. No uber rare Thor but you get the other 5. I hope that eases the Thor pain.

You may have noticed that Marvel Buildables Series 1 price went up this week. Sorry to say it’s all about Thor. The rest are still at their original price but I had a run of Thors. Since these are discontinued and I’m very, very low…I’ve had to raise the price of the complete sets. If you don’t care about Thor then the other Series 1 figures can be had all for around $10. But Thor is Mighty and mighty rare. He was already rare, but he’s getting almost impossible to find. Sorry if you’d been waiting on him, but I do have a few left if you just must complete your set.

To celebrate my good fortune locating a dealer with a few more of these Marvel Buildable cases I’m sharing my luck with you. Until Feb. 28th (or the toys are gone) you can use MARVELBUILDS coupon for 20% off at checkout at the King Tractor Press shop. That is good for anything at the store within that time. But if I sell out of the Buildables before that then the discount will be gone as well.
(This photo comes from slangards who did a review of the Series 1 Marvel Buildables here.)
These toys have been discontinued from the manufacturer and most distributors are out. But I’ll keep hunting so that anyone who wants one can get one. Or two.
Get the entire set at the King Tractor Press shop.

This has to be a first. I JUST got in a few cases of the Marvel Hero Buildables. Very cool figures, though I’m a bit disappointed that there are chase figures. I have never been a fan of limited toys because it means someone is getting left out. There are six figures; Hulk, Iron Man and Spider-Man (the 3 common figures), Wolverine, Captain America (the 2 semi-rare, probably 1 to 3 of the first three), and lastly Thor (the super rare chase toy…each case of 250 figures has 6-12 of them…sucks).
They are very cool little toys. So you probably are wondering why I said that they are “out” if I just got them in. Right? After seeing these in person I was convinced that I didn’ t order enough, when you see them you’ll see what I mean. So I called the manufacturer to put in an order. “That first set is retired, we’re out” they said. WHAT?!?! I just got them. I called my distributor, they’re out too. I then went down the list and called any distributor I could find. All out. One site had it listed as $1000 a case now, I guess they had one very special case left.
So that’s the bad news. What I have is all I am likely to find; if you want them get the toys asap because I cannot afford $1000 cases. Thor would have to be really expensive then. I will have the toys at upcoming conventions so you can come by and see them live if you wish, but I cannot promise how many shows my supply will last.
The good news is that I heard through the grapevine that a new series will be available by end of summer. I will make sure to get more of those before they get retired. No idea yet which new characters are going to be included.
You can get the entire set at the King Tractor Press store while they last.
