What is a box? Padded envelopes!

Received my FOUR SEPARATE PACKAGES from TRU (the 3 Avenger sets plus the Valiant set), all shipped from Groveport, OH. 1 shipped via USPS, 3 via FedEx at home. Victory!

I'll be there Sunday with my daughter. I'll be the guy staring at the Cassie Hack Femme Fatale statue trying to figure out how to take it home!

Ordered the 3 sets, plus the Valiant mates from TRU Tuesday. Valiant mates shipped yesterday. Scarlet Witch/Quicksilver shipped today. Update! Cap & Thor shipped today also. Black Widow Iron Man is located in stock and... shipped! Will I get four separate packages? YES! Online stores are so odd with their shipping. I had a Hasbro Toyshop order (using a free shipping code), 1 item shipped out regular, then the preorder item shipped the other day, FEDEX overnight? WHY?

Now that DST is making a Cassie Hack from HACK/SLASH (thank you thank you thank you!) Cassie and Vlad would make a nice stand alone 2 pack! I'd love more indy comics minimates, and can't wait for more Valiant mates.

Panels are live on the C2E2 App and the web... FRIDAY APRIL 24 4:15-5:15 - Minimates in 2015: From Avengers to TMNT to The Walking Dead!

I'm on it as HACKSLASHINC Not sure what I'm doing on there yet, really just liking looking at the pretty pictures, can't see myself pouring money into this app!

Is the new wave showing up at all TRU stores? Or just the select special stores, like that got the Valiant minimates or the Infinity box set?

Retail at some stores. Check TRUs website and you can check which store has them in stock. My local stores don't carry it, so had to order from TRU.com. Now I want another, fun set.

Blind boxed single packs of these (MLB, NHL and NFL) are showing up at Target for $9.99 a piece. Ouch. Still no Wisconsin in the college sets.

Battle Chasers (coming back as comic and viedo game)! http://www.comicbookresources.com/article/madureiras-battle-chasers-to-return-as-comic-and-game

Found today in Racine, WI.

Femme Fatales Cassie Hack from HACK/SLASH! Thank you DST!

Is this our boat? No clue, but I had never seen a Diamond Order code for a TRU product (and I'm nosy), so plugged that into Google... https://panjiva.com/Manufacturers-Of/Dec138163

That's really weird, don't remember seeing any TRU mimimates listed before, but there they are. http://www.previewsworld.com/Home/1/1/71/954

Toys R Us order cancelled (by them, not me). "Unfortunately, we were unable to fulfill your order"

Found the new wave of Marvel Legends today at Target in Milwaukee, WI. Was only interested in Captain Marvel from this wave (I tend to collect mostly space/cosmic figures) so she was the only one I grabbed. Looked like a fresh case, saw them all.

The new design for Venom is explained a little here... http://marvel.com/news/comics/23960/an_exclusive_look_at_venoms_all-new_costume A minimate sized Black Vortex would be awesome. I've already re-purposed the bookmark as an accessory for the four inch figures...

Really looking forward to this storyline, hope it turns out well!

Thought it was just Funko, per the FAQ "exclusive collectible product created by Marvel & Funko." Not going to commit for a full year, but I'd probably jump in for a Deadpool box. Beyond that, if there's anything that really catches my eye I'll hunt it down.

I'm playing Astrosmash. Picked up the Intellivision Flashback Console at Walgreen's on clearance for $25!

Have they announced when they are revealing the identity of the new Thor? I read the first issue or two, so my barely informed guess is Namorita... because I want her to be doing something (after she was killed and brought back she was kinda forgotten). Also, she's got Roxxon issues. The helmet wings are like extensions of her pointy ears, and she's even got wings on her boots. I know it's probably not her, but I can pretend it is.

Placed an order, now unexpected delay. "However, there has been an unexpected delay in the shipment"

Yeah, I'm not sure of any good resources. I've just been focusing on the blind bags and not the actual building sets.

CBR has the retail for the battle damaged 2 pack, and states that the non-BD pack "which has yet to be fully revealed -- will be a retailer exclusive" http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=58592
