Do we have ANY idea at all about when these are going to be in stores? Like, this summer? Fall? 2013?

Considering the very first post says they're already showing up at comic stores? I'd say this summer.

whats the point of doing blind packs if you can ID them, i guess its a good thing so you dont have to waste money looking for 1 figure but still it defeats the point of doing blind packs.

If I had to guess, I'd say it has something to do with there being a certain number of each item in each case (or perhaps a certain range, like 1-2 of item A, 1-3 of item B, etc.). Otherwise, they could end up shipping entire cases of only item A. That could result in a drop in sales of the product if people don't think they can get anything other than item A, which is the point of blindpacks.

Really? I've just been fondling them looking for the weapons. Is there a site that tells you how to decipher the code?

Also, can't wait for these to show up in other stores, my local comic stores suck.

There indeed is.

I dont know which megabloks you buy, but I know marvel and halo have codes, there's lists out there.

I'll actually get them now seeing that each one has a different code.

this is pretty awesome
even better now with the codes

BBTS is selling them individually for $2.49 each ($2.34 each if you buy them by the case).

My guess is the retail price (in brick-and-mortar stores) will be about $1.99 or $2.49. (Of course, TRU will probably try to sell them for like $3.99, cause that's how they do.)

thanks for the info guys

it will be interesting to see if these hit a store like 5below with an even steeper discount

Has anyone seen these in stores yet? If so, where?

I got them at TRU (Langhorne, PA) about three weeks ago.

Don't know if anyone else has noticed this but the numbers on the blind packs has changed. It looks like the third digit has increased by one while the fourth digit had reset. I'm not sure if it was just the walgreens I went to but the important numbers are the last 2. For example the code on the Sunstorm I bought is 215119 the carry over numbers are 19. I hope this helps some folks out.

Only the last number matters anyway. Sunstorm is 9.
