Hi guys, I know that we are all looking for new, as well as old muggs, and I'm not sure if there is already a topic created for this, but I think it would help a lot of people if we could put down City/Region of what muggs are most common for us. I'll start it up:

San Francisco/Daly City - I always see a ton of Wolverines/Human-Torch/Obi-Wan/Count Dooku

Urban Outfitters - Always seems to have everyone in stock


*If there is already a thread for this, please let me know. Thanks!

Haha I live in Pittsburg, about 30 miles away from San Francisco. My most common finds are Chewbacca, Mace Windu, Hulk, Wolverine and Indy Wave 1.

The Chewy and Mace are insane. The Mugg section at our local Wal-Mart is a huge block of brown box tops.

Hulks are everywhere. Don't know why that one seems to be so heavy.

Star Wars - Toys R Us seems to have tried to do collectors a favor and stocked up on cases and they got stuck with tons of Darth Mauls, Obi-Wans, and Jango Fetts. Then it probably deters them from ordering future waves. They never got the Anakin/Dooku/Rex wave.

Indys all seem to be under control. I see one of each but not overstocked.

Glad to know there are some posts going on. I hope more people will post. But I do respect that there is competition out there for Muggs.

It would be good to know which areas of the country are getting which type of Muggs, so we can plan accordingly whenever they reach us.

Just a thought...

I live in northern virginia, and we got lots of hulk, wolverine, and capt. america. As for star wars and indy muggs we got a huge variety. I found all the muggs I own in the stores here, but they can't get rid of those i mentioned above.

Here in TN...besides the common ones that seem to be everywhere else, I see a lot of Silver Surfer, Lando, Emperor Palpatine and Doc Ock.

in costal georgia we have many Hulks, and Things, and in every new shipment to the local KB Toys there is always a Ghost Rider and a Black Suited Spiderman.
As for star wars we have many, there are Obi-ones (misspelled), Anikins, Jangos, C3P0s, Mace Windos, and a Luke every once and a while, and Bobas

In Southern Minnesota - I seem to see alot of Iron Man, Hulk, Wolverine, Captain America at TRS. Target you can find, Silver Surfer, Human Torch and the rest from that series for Marvel. As far as Star Wars goes, we have a butt load of Luke and Obi wan. Indiana Jones, you can find a lot of the first series, nothing else.

If anyone is willing to pick me up a Thing and C3PO and is in need of anything on my list, I would be willing to trade.

Thanks!

I've seen everything at one point or another in varying amounts in Utah, except I've never seen:

-C-3P0
-Dr. Henry Jones

Everyone else (who's been released) I've seen. Too bad I didn't buy some of them when I saw them. Its hard to gauge what will become rare and what won't.

I'm also in Northern Virginia and I see a lot of Hulk and Wolverine. All of the other that I own I have stumbled upon and only seen one of em so I naturally picked em up.

I don't really pay any attention to the other muggs only marvel.

Do you think it will be helpful if I start putting together a list of Muggs by Region?

Same here Teeks. Those Wave 1 Indy's are clogging up the shelves and not making room for any Wave 2 Indy Muggs around here.

Hulk is definitely the biggest shelf warmer in the Louisville/Southern Indiana/Kentuckiana area. Then again, none of the Marvel figures are really impossible to find around here at this point other than Venom. Have seen Wave 1 Spidey in several locations just in the past couple of days, usually in multiples, while I've read some posts saying he is awful difficult to find. Feel pretty lucky to be searching in Louisville, honestly. Would have to say that just Venom and possibly Ghost Rider are difficult to find around here.

you can pretty much always find the following in central/northern NC:

SW: obi-wan, chewbacca, jango, han solo 1.0
IJ: all of wave 1
M: hulk, capt america, thing

SW wave 6 just hit the shelves in a few Targets/Walmarts yesterday. IJ wave 2 still can't be found at all. and i finally saw ghost rider and thor a couple of days ago.

Poor Hulk... You can find him everywhere in Seattle too. Star Wars Muggs are sparse these days.

Well, at almost every store around here where you can find muggs, there's always, always, ALWAYS and at least one Boba Fett, today I went hoping that I'd find a cool Grievous waiting for me, but I only found a Han Solo and 4 Bobas...
