The Scarlet Spider

man I wish that one guy hadn't burnt everyone on that kickstarter thing or whatever. Having us the consumer just raise enough money to get product from DST ahead of time would have been great. 

Btw: Zach those shots are great. We neeeeed more accessorized army builders like that!!!

I'd buy those gear accessories @youbastards and I still haven't even watched Alien ?

i might pick up the TRU if it comes with people and cool accessories. 

Why you gotta hurt my heart like that @DSTZach

Those look like prototypes, so I'd guess that that picture's from a Toyfair or something.

Thanks Buff. Damn I woulda tried to get a bunch of those.

Is that the unreleased vehicle? Where did you pick that and those guys up?

Fox films would be a big pass for me. 

Thanks @BuffaloDelorean!

So what are all the lineups at each retailer? 

Like what's the Walgreens assortment? 

LCS? 

TRU?

These Pirates sets don't seem to be doing very well at all.  All I ever see are two FULL pegs of these things.

It sucks cause if they just came packed with a pistol or alternate hairpiece without a hat or a cool ass blunderbuss or SOMETHING. I'd be looking into getting multiples but as it is it's just not worth the hassle. I can't understand the decision of having the most iconic character without his pistol or a look he has for a lot of the movies (hatless) or without other accessories. I feel like I'm constantly trying to help DST to convince me to buy multiples.

Zach, is there an LCS wave 4 too, or just TRU?

My guess for TRU Wave 4 is 

- Fiorina 131 Ripley / Dog Alien

- Alien Resurrection Ripley / Swimming Alien

- Alien Resurrection Johner / Warrior Alien

Hopefully DST still has plans for the Dropships, but my gut tells me that the APC underperformed, in part due to the MSRP mix up at specialty.

 

I've bought out all the apcs at TRUs from Louisville to Nashville. I don't know. I just know I'd buy at least that many dropships. 

I picked some of these up when I was in Louisville to visit family. The likenesses are great but goodness gracious they're light on accessories. A sword or two with each pack but no flintlock for jack? No compass? (haven't seen the new movie but I assume he has it). You have to get both jacks young and modern to get a Look without a hat for modern jack. I wanted to pick up some extras but I don't know with this little accessories

For my money - the GR in the Champions box set is my go-to classic look. 
But I'd happily buy another variant of him if it got us a Blackheart or even a Nightmare.

I don't know if I could decide between the two but og ghost rider is cool and honestly looking at that on the mmdb it doesn't look too out of date. 

hopefully the licensing expansion for marvel is Maximates and/or vehicles but I doubt that. 

Hmmmm what game is hard to classify. The Arkham series?

I asked because Dan Ketch's look has become Blaze's "iconic" outfit anymore. (Yes, I keep mentioning, yes, it still bugs me, yes, I'll drop it for now)

Kinda like the blue on old school Blaze though. Fit with the suit being Johnny's stunt cycle costume in the era of Evel Knievel. But that's just me. Much preferred pony tailed, trench coat over costume & jeans, shot gun toting Johnny Blaze myself, but clearly I'm in the minority since they put the demon back in him as quick as they could.

(admittedly Ketch's book had descended into remarkable unreadability there at the end, so that probably helped.)

 

We just need a Ghost Rider Through the ages wave of deluxe sets. 

Johnny Blaze grey and blue/first appearance classic Ghost Rider with Motorcycle. 

Danny Ketch with his street bike and alternate blue flames to differentiate the two for when you get 

more modern Johnny Blaze with the pony tail, shotgun, but with parts for the orange Blaze/Ketch Ghost Rider. With flaming motorcycle 

and then ghost driver with car with a new paint job and more streamlined Skull that'll fit in the car.

If you can find the pack and would be willing to ship Hulk to Canada, I have a couple of MCU army builders I'd be interested in trading for him.

Hey sounds like a win win! I've been expanding my Walgreens searches to a wider area so hopefully I'll be able to find him for ya. Assuming that's where the pack will be.

There are other double-bladed axes -- Gruntos, Ares, the gold crocodile. Not particularly easy to acquire, most of them, but they exist.

I understand the issues but I don't want to go out of my way for an accessory I feel someone should already have. If it was just guns I wouldn't care nearly as much (still probably would a bit) but I'd go buy a gun heavy pack. Oh well saves me money from buying multiples. 

I also hope everyone is alright. My thoughts are with you all.

i like this Hydra Cap look. i'm not super excited about this wave or 75, but there are a couple from both i'll be looking for. i doubt my LCS will get them in as they haven't been getting new minimates for a while now, so i'll probably be looking to you guys for the mates i'm interested in.

I just fear we'll never get yellow and green Hydra cap. I like this design but if it was between the two I'll green and yellow any day of the week. All in all I might get this pack just for the Hydra chest. Unless someone doesn't want their Hydra chest in which case I'll pay you for it  

Thanks @BuffaloDelorean :/ damn now I wish she did have the ugly silver dress cause I don't like buying hulk figs. Oh well at least they come with accessoriess...  I really don't understand the reasoning to include nothing in a set. Even just one axe would make me say "yeah I'll just buy 2 to get 2 axes". I've said it before and I'll keep saying it... accessories make or break a pack for me.

You This is worse than that Hawkeye Crossbones pack because at least I wasn't even tempted to get them.

This wave is already meh. 

No accessories...? I guess because of all the bulked up characters. That's a blow to my will to buy these. I buy so many multiples just for accessories sometimes. I don't even want the hulk or any bulked up characters I just want stuff likeThor and his swords, an army of Valkyries, and Executioner with weapons. And Hela of course. I hope Valkyrie comes with accessories and a non-hulk boxmate :/ otherwise I may only get one or two. And I hope we get the actual warrior looking outfit and not that god awful sci-fi silver dress. Then again I guess that'd keep me from wanting to buy multiples if it's that costume for the mate and she's packed with hulk so I guess there are advantages. 

Cool expansion on Marvel? Video game? Awesome! 

Vehicles? Deluxe sets? 

What kind of video game is it? At least say like platformer, rpg, first person shooter or third person shooter, etc >.< 

I'm dying of excitement. 

Hear hear!

Wouldn't there be a very significant difference in the final TNG figures since minimates have only gotten better since the first ones came out. 

If we can't have DC comics minimates we might as well get another WB Juggernaut property  

@Trekker 42 ahh I got ya

Your idea probably would make more sense, since I'm not sure DST would want to go all out with waves but I can't help but want 60-70 Harry Potter mates from a wave for each movie. Then we could get the supporting cast like Lucious, Tonks, Neville, most if not all of the Weasleys, Sirius, Lupin, maybe even a Peter Pettigrew, and Tom Riddle as well not to mention maybe a Cedric and a TRU exclusive of James and Lily with the mirror of erised  

Oy now I know how much some people want that DC license back.

Man Harry Potter could've worked so well. You could pretty much get everything you need out of the line with a four pack made per movie (or book). One of the Goldeneye Trio per pack, one DADA teacher, two supporting characters... might miss out on someone like Tonks or some of the Weasley family and maybe a bigger Death Eater or two, but you'd have almost everyone important. 

I'm sure a wave per movie could have worked too. Yes we'd probably get 8 Of the Trio but if they could be packed with killer accessories each movie it'd be worth it. Harry could have his broom in one set, hedwig in another, etc. and don't get me started on how bad ass a 2.5" base mate Hagrid would be. Maybe he could even come with a motorcycle.

Having Only one of the trio per boxset could lead to what happened with turtles imo. People might be like "this is cool but I want all 3 of them" unless you solicit them all together. 

Damnit now I have to watch the movies again.
