I got an email from my LCS saying these should be out Wednesday. Woot!

What about a Hell Cycle for Ghost Rider? To me this would probably be better as mini-statuary than a vehicle anyway. You could design it around one of the Ghost Riders, have flaming wheels, etc. if you cast it in black, we could paint the other colors on ourselves. Or is this too much for the process you are doing, Luke?

So I accidentally marked the Marvel forum as "Read" on my iPod. Now, even after new posts have been made, I no longer have the option of going to the last unread post in any of the Marvel threads. Is there any way to undue this? It is really annoying. Thanks for any guidance!

I finally found a case on the pegs last Friday at my local TRU. Yesterday they had another case. I picked up an extra set for any fellow board member still in need. PM me

What's neat about the Cloak we have is that you can leave the head in the cape and just display it that way. I do this, but he looks so tiny and static this way. When he is depicted in the comics, he always seems to be moving/flowing and his cloak is as big as at least two characters.

Mine actually had Avengers merchandise out; but no mates.

I would buy any and all of these suggestions. The only one that I want to see who has not been mentioned would be Cloak. The one we have looks very dated and the cloak does not even touch the ground if you display him with the mate body. Personally, I would like to see him as an accessory - an oversized, somewhat wrapping, cloak and hood with a minimate head; no body required. You know, how he is almost always depicted in the comics. Maybe as a 4.5 character Dark X-men Box Set with Black Emma, red outfit Daken, updated Dagger and Mimic.

I am sad that you have been hacked, but I am glad that you are taking steps to fix it. I have been noticing the automatic redirect on my work computer for a while, but I could still get there on a work around. Best of luck with fixing the problem!

Not bad! Aunt May is the chase figure, though. I know my minimates! I was originally thinking that she might be the variant, but thought that she may have more screen time to warrant the non-variant spot. ... So does the amazing Karnak win anything?

Biggest problem I have with the new Spider-man movie is Sally Fields as Aunt May. Having seen her in other things, it is a hard stretch for me to see her as a frail worrying widower, whether it happens that Ben dies in this movie or a sequel. That said, I am loving these mates and cannot wait to see the TRU wave. I am thinking the assortment will be: Spidey/Peter - shared BD Spidey/Lizard -shared Aunt May/Swat - LCS Uncle Ben/Swat - LCS variant (unless he doesn't die, then May will be the variant) Captain Stacey/"first night spidey" - TRU Gwen/Curt Connors - TRU

So, Zach.... Banner?

All this talk about Ghost makes me think we need a Thunderbolts wave: Songbird/Beetle or Mach V Yelena Black Widow/Paladin Modern Ghost/Female 616 SHIELD Agent or Hammer Agent Variant Clear Classic Ghost Fill a lot of holes that wave would.

I love this idea as long as DST completes the same Fantastic Four team. I could easily see them throwing in a different team/costume version in the second box set, just to get us to scour TRU to finish each one. I would also appreciate non-powered versions of Sue and Johnny (Ben too, for that matter) in whichever/each costume we get. I am still waiting for a Future Foundation TRU 2-pack with a non-invisible Sue and Doctor Doom.

Seconded. I would be happy with a box set of Fiona, Mike's mom,, Jesse and Sam. Put Michael in a vehicle set with his car (possibly a repaint of KITT would work) and we'ld be set. I would also like mates of the new Hawaii 5-O, the US version of Being Human, Chuck, The Pretender (Jarod, Sydney, Mrs. Parker and Gibbs), Firefly and classic Power Rangers. And, of course, Smallville. But I think there are whole threads devoted to why that will not work

Still no wave 12 at my TRU. On the plus side, waves 10 & 11 are down to 7 packs left, so hopefully they will show up on the next truck. Although with the holidays done, it is hard to figure when they get new product.

So, if he is moving to TRU, who is he bumping out of their assortment? And if he is no longer in the LCS wave, who gets his spot? Will he and a TRU character be swapped? Or maybe DST learned about the "other Big Bad" and was able to include that character in the LCS wave.... You torture us with your insider knowledge. Thank you. I cannot wait for these! All of them! In whatever way they are released!

I keep hoping to find these at my local TRU; but still no luck. I have no idea when they are going to get new product in either. The shelves today were very bare, particularly the Lego aisle. Not typical for my TRU. Lots of things on clearance too, but I do not think they have gotten anything new all week.

By the numbers still on the peg at my LCS last night, I want to say two each, with four each of the TRU-shared packs. I do not know, because I did not see an actual case, but there appeared to be two each of the LCS packs and 4-6 each of the shared still on pegs. My LCS had a set stashed for me in back and there is at least one other collector that gets minimates (Marvel) from them in "complete set" fashion. Maybe Luke knows....

I had ordered two of these through the online/in-store dress shipping deal on Monday. Along with the Balder two-pack and an extra SDCC MvC 4-pack. The later shipped first, via UPS, in separate boxes, and will not be here for another week. The two Herald sets arrived today, in one 9x13x17 inch box, with 6 bubble packs (those air cushions) and an invoice. Fortunately neither box was damaged or bent, despite being able to bounce around over 50% of the box. Gotta love TRU

I am heading to pick mine up as soon as I get off of work. Count it down with me in... 10 minutes 9 minutes

I did this on Monday. They had an extra Sunday/Monday promotion of 20% off all clearance items, which knocked each pack down to $3.98 and then I had a $10 coupon. Granted, I spent 10 minutes at the check-out counter working with the woman to get any of the promotions to actually come off.... Now, I need to actually start working on the customs and quick customs to complete/update the cast.

I asked again at my TRU in Madison, WI, with no luck for more "Wave 10" minimates or for the Heralds set. So I asked for the free shipping deal on the Balder pack and the Heralds. Balder has shipped already!

'buy multiples to give the heroes a real fight! ' This sounds very much to me like the Army Builder REDACTED character. Skrulls/Kree/Etc . . . But Remember: diamond doesn't always KNOW what the character at the end is going to be. This is why there wasn't a Final Battle Whiplash figure made by anyone. I wouldn't take this as a sign that there will not be another BigBad. I agree. But this still means we will not be seeing one in Minimate/toy form. That was more where my dismay was coming from.

I have a feeling that there will not be any other "Big Bad" unless a REDACTED is pretending to be Big and Bad. DST will be doing a Marvel Select Villain character, "seen" here for pre-order at Big Bad Toy Store, and the description does not sound too promising.

Mine has AT LEAST a full case sitting on the pegs. Most likely more. Halo is gone. MAX is gone. I will be checking again Friday, if not sooner. If anyone needs a pack or two, let me know and I will see what I can do.
