anybody starting to see Pun / Jig pop up across the midwest, towards the east? seems like west coast people are finding 'em...
still no luck here, just wondering if anyone's had any luck!

I live in Florida, and have had absolutely 0 luck. There is only one TRU near me though, so I have had to call the others and I am not sure if I am talking to the savviest of employees when I ask. I too am curious if anyone on the East Coast has seen them yet.

nada again here in NYC... I hitup times sqr toys r us and I saw a guy from Midtown Comics (a really big comic book store next to my office) and he was hunting around... I can only assume for the same thing. All I could think was...GREAT not only do I have to try and beat scalpers but I also have to try and beat the local comicbook store ugh

live in west Texas and nada man nothing at all. Just gotta be cool he coming around soon.
Unfortunately I have yet to find him, but it's because most TRUs are on a 1 truck a week schedule, and with inventory now is going to be a little tougher. Hopefully by the end of January I'll find Punisher and Jigsaw.

Arlington, Texas TRU has them now too. I bought the only Jigsaw, but there were three punishers left...WOOOOOO! Man I was so excited I finally got them. A manager at the TRU told me something imortant thoght... TRU's won't bring in new toys until they have done inventory... so try calling and ask if they have done it. Cause he told me that New Year's day and they did inventory this week and got the new truck in last night.

good tip. be persistant on when a truck comes in. if it is coming on that day but hasnt arrived yet, they can tell you if they are getting mighty muggs (and more than likely, if they are getting marvel, they are getting punisher + jiggy).

Well at least you don't live in the UK, they aren't even being released here, as usual. I have bought 1 off ebay, but the shipping cost more than the actual Punisher lol. But there are plenty on eBay atm with free shipping in the US, so yoou should probs get bidding, because I don't think they are gonna be around for long.

Just had this lady tell me "it says we have plenty but they are not sorted in the computer so you have to come and look". What is that? I dont know if it is worth the 45min drive just to find out she is an idiot I might just call back later.

its because all marvel mighty muggs have the same item number, but different SKU's. when they scan the SKU, the item number shows up and tells them how many in the floor and in the back. Its because they arrive in boxes thats under the item number, and inside the boxes are the diff muggs

Hit up my one of the two local TRU's and finally got someone who could give me some decent info. Told me they were in the middle of inventory and they nothing in back and nothing in their warehouse. I aksed him when he expected anything new and he told me that with inventory going to not expect anything new for at least a month.

Just got my Punisher/Jigsaw!!! It was the same situation here. The store has been empty because of inventory, but they told me a truck was supposed to come today (wed.). So, I got there as they opened and sure enough there they were!
But be warned...there was only one case on this "big" truck that came, so that means there was only one Jigsaw. It might be different for other TRU's but you'll definitely have to keep an eye out.
I got three Punishers and one Jigsaw today in NC...... It's all they had.

I've mentioned this in another thread, but all you've got to do is find out what day they get shipments and show up that day when they open. No need to make trips every day. If you ask they're more than happy to tell you. Unfortunately they have no idea what's coming until they inventory it when it arrives.

yeah but they are keeping me from reading the actually good ones.
Actually what is more redundant than these Punisher threads, which get merged into one place here, is your constant bitching for attention. You complain about Punisher threads but you bump threads and my guess is only to increase your post count.
Do the forum a favor and don't post if you have nothing helpful to add.

How exactly are they doing that? It's pretty easy to not read the threads that include the word Punisher. Stop just trying to make problems. You're not funny, you're just being a jerk (better?)
If absolutely anything, you posting in punisher threads bumps them to the top, so how about you just stop talking.

ive merged a few punisher threads already. i LOVE punisher and love hearing about him (and his pal jiggy), but separate topics arent necessary all the time. sometimes its hard to sift through all of this to find out what you want to know, but Punisher is quite popular at the moment, and its hard to police the threads completely.
whatever the case, if you found him, great! if you havent, keep trying! either way, feel free to post your joy (relief?) or your angst and any tips on how and when to get them. just make sure you do so in a positive and respectful manner, per site rules.

Yay!
I went to the Chandler AZ on my lunch break and saw the same 10 marvel muggs on the shelf. I went up to customer service and gave them the Jigsaw printout from the website and asked if they had this item. She looked up and said they had 4. They found the box in the back with 3 Punisher and 1 Jigsaw and brought them out.
I left the other 2 Punishers if any one is looking.
Also, it's interesting that the computer showed 4 as the inventory for Jigsaw. The Punisher/Jigsaw item number is either the same, or they don't keep a separate inventory number.
Edit: I forgot to add that I was in the store on Monday, and the customer service told me trucks usually come on Friday and Sunday...so she was dead on

what happened was i went to TRU and as i walked to the mighty mugg section all of a sudden a guy walks passed me caring 3 punishers and 1 jigsaw i was like COME ON!!!!!!! if would have been at least 5 mins early i would have been pleased. :(
that story breaks my heart :(. ive never witnessed anyone else ever looking at muggs, nonetheless buying them. i wish nothing but luck to you in future hunts.

After I bought 3 Punishers and a Jigsaw yesterday my friend told me his girlfriend had been in TRU the day before and talked to someone about Punisher. They told her someone calls the store every day asking about Punisher Muggs. I felt kind of bad for that guy, but at the same time I'm happy I was able to get them for my friends and I.

I seen 3 punishers at toysrus in cincinnati today but I just worked a trade with somebody on here last night for one. No jigsaws though.
after seeing that he was in my state yesterday, i called my most local TRU (about 20 minutes away) gave them the sku number and they said they didn't have him. i was a little bummed, but when i called the next closest TRU (about 40 minutes away) and gave them the item number, the dude said they had one in the back. he went to check and apparently by one, it meant one box. i had him hold a punisher for me (because i only want one of him and i'm not intrested in jigsaw... save for maybe his gun). when i went to pick him up, i checked the aisle to see if they had any other muggs i needed and i didn't see any other punishers or the jigsaw. i'm guessing they were still in back because i doubt they sold that fast.
so the short story is...
I HAVE THE FIRST PUNISHER IN DAYTON OHIO
and
your local TRU might have them in the back and just not put them out on the floor yet, so if you go or call, have them check in the back

I got my punisher(s) this past weekend. I called up the TRU, and gave them the SKU, but they said they could just tell that they had some muggs in stock, not which particular ones. I went up to the TRU, and they had 2 Punishers and a Jigsaw! That gets me done, and I have a friend that already claimed the other Punisher. But now there is verification they've reached the east coast - at least in the south. I got mine in Atlanta, GA.

So seems like they're starting to trickle in bay area. Right now each store is only getting one case (1 Jigsaw, 3 Punishers), but I'm guessing we'll start to see more cases come though. Just like how all the other areas started off. Happy hunting guys.

With Punisher being 3 per case, he will became more and more avaialbe to everyone, just give it time to build up on their shelves, because all
everyone is looking for is Jigsaw, and unfourntly there are those who feel the need to be greedy and horde them so Jiggy will be a lot harder to come by...:(

I have only seen one Jigsaw so far...and I snagged him. I have seen plenty of Punisher.

I can't believe people are still searching for these. Good luck everyone!
Wow these are still rare? I have an unopened Punisher if anyone wants (to buy) it

wow, people are STILL looking for these.
They are overflowing at my TRUs.
Also, must suck to live in Cali if you collect muggs since everything I've read on Cali/Mugg related things says that there's nothing out there.

Every Toys R Us I've been to in the past few weeks have had an army of Punishers. I see Jigsaw every now and then but have passed each time...I'm trying to be selective on which muggs I pick up.

There are actually three Toys R Us that I go to regularly. They are in the Seattle area...not sure how familiar you are with it but they are Northgate, Lynnwood, and Everett. Everett by far has the most, Lynnwood coming in second, then Northgate has about 6-8.
