    WAVE 76

    i would love a wave similar to the Hellions idea, but with Generation X. their uniforms are identical so it wouldn't take a lot. BANSHEE/EMMA FROST with mini GATEWAY JUBILEE with pieces for HUSK/SYNCH with pieces for CHAMBER M/PENANCE with mini DOA SKIN/MONDO build a figure EMPLATE. It's a dream wave that I don't think we'll ever see... but I would be very happy.

    WAVE 76

    the only mate i'm really feeling from this wave is Cloak. I'm not excited for Dagger, tho. I'll need to see them up close, but she looks like her first mate with Disco Dazzler hair. I even did the same thing with Longshot's throwing knives. I don't know anything about Demogoblin and that Carnage isn't different enough from Luke's (as has been pointed out by everyone) so that's a pass. I'm not sure what's going on with that Venom, I hope they're not changing the way they do bulked up mates... I really like the bulked up piece they've been using recently, like on Space Knight Venom. Ok that six-armed Spider-Man is pretty sick, so I'll probably need him. I never picked up the first one. I might be more excited about Black Cat if she wasn't still on the shelves at TRU, but I do think this is a great classic look, definitely better than the Friends and Foes version. But... is that the same hair piece Ms Marvel and the first Dagger used to have? I hope that piece doesn't start popping up on all the women again. We've been getting a lot of Spider-Man lately between this, tru 24 and tru 25 (and some of 26). I'm surprised we haven't got comic book Black Panther, or Avengers with their movies coming up. What was the last X-Men wave we got... Brotherhood/Strike Force and Brotherhood box set?
  3. I hit the jack pot at Clackamas. Unfortunately i got the last Chameleon set and i only saw 1 each of the other 2. Beetle was in a different aisle but i put them together.
  4. Soon as these hit Portland someone say the word. I was thinking bout going to Clackamas (from Gresham) but this rain suck.
  5. Portland, Or Jantzen Beach had a bunch of the Daredevil box sets on clearance %4.99 when i was there about a week ago
  6. I was posting in the wrong thread, but yesterday i checed Clackamas, Or for these. No w25, but the do have Black Panther.
  7. Clackamas has Black Panther, but no 24. They all have their marvel minimates in 5 different spots. Anyone been to Tigard or Jantzen Beach?
  8. No sightings in Portland, yet? Im heading out to Clackamas tru to check in a little bit.
  9. I think a hulked up Iceman would be cool.
  10. can someone please message me if they find these in Portland, Or? Thanks!
  11. we've been guessing Uncanny Avengers Rogue for a few waves now. are there any hints other than 2 of them are X-Men? what makes y'all think Gambit?
  12. 60s & X-Force Vanisher variant packed with Multiple Man. I want an Arcade, too, tho.
  13. i asked my comic shop about this... guy looked on the computer and said "oh yeah we can order that" then said "hmm it's on back order, so we may or may not get it"

    wave 74

    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.
  15. ...the wolfman has nards... it's been a minute since any of my lcs have got a new wave of minimates. none of them got the wolverine wave, or the blind bags. the store closest to me has moved what the have to a back corner of a back room off the main floor. they used to hang within the first 5 feet of walking in. so that's disappointing, and makes things a little bit more complicated for me. the walgreens in my area seem to be doing ok. a couple still have the first waves, but most are current. last time i was at tru they had the wolverine wave and jessica jones boxsets. i didn't see any TMNT, but do they even have a current tv show? maybe overall interest in TMNT is in a lull? i feel like it goes in spurts. (i was really excited for Bebop, Rocksteady, April and Casey Jones, tho. #sad!) i haven't been clamoring for any of the upcoming Marvel minimates, which are pretty much the only ones i buy. there's only a couple from each wave (LCS, TRU, W) that i do want to pick up, but nothing coming out in the near future is a full set purchase for me. i'm not even totally sure who all is in each set, just that i want Iron Heart & Hydra Cap, Jessica Jones and Purple Man, Black Bolt (i have the original but i welcome an update) and Medusa (i personally thing the animated mates fit in just fine with the comic book mates. i don't go for the movie versions, tho i'll make an exception for Hela if the opportunity presents itself), the X-Men box set (X-Men waves are my go to), and i'd maybe upgrade my OLM via trade. all that said, i can appreciate the breaks between waves where i don't have to buy every set. Marvel seems to be going very well for them to be able to branch out and continue to make off the wall character choices, and even trying new things like the build a figure (tho am i the only one who's like that's Maria Hill with wrist guards?). even if other properties come and go, i'd be surprised if Marvel minimates doesn't make it to 100.
  16. After binging the Defenders, i cant wait to get my hands on this Jessica Jones
  17. i was literally looking at the Jessica Jones boxset on ebay the day before i saw this wave. this Jessica will save me from buying the other set and comes with a sweet Purple Man. the rest... well i'm happy with the current additions i have of the character. will probably try to score that Ghost Rider on here.
  18. i'm pretty lucky in that i have been collecting minimates since wave 16 after randomly picking up Dark Phoenix and Cyclops at a Portland convention. at the time i said i'd only collect the X-Men mates cuz that was when they were still mostly all that i was reading. back then, the hardest mates to find for me were the giant sized x-men box set and i somehow scored it for like 20 bucks one day on ebay. when wave 28 came out, i snatched up Psylocke and Gambit right away. had the Deadpool set in hand, but went with Sabretooth and Skrull instead. that was the only Deadpool at the time, and it sky rocketted real fast on ebay. it was probably a year or so later when my mother and i were in a comic shop looking at DC stuff for my nephew and my mom asked me to grab something up high. right next to whatever it was was a random Sabretooth/Skrull set. and behind that... Deadpool! i never got Hydro-Man and will wait for a remake. other than that... my want list is very short and mostly consist of pretty current mates that i just didn't bother to pick up and i'm not stressing too much about.
  19. I could still use a Silver Samurai if anyone stocked up on the Hand ninjas and has an extra.
