Reed has to go with Doom.

As much as I know we'll get him for free so to speak I'd like wolverine in his recent horsemen guise. Hulk's a given though because he's awesome. Also another angel would be great. I would really like sentry too.

A horsemen of the apocalypse set would be awesome.

Hawkeye and Nova are definitely from their marvel now appearances in current comics. I don't have any idea which comic elektro is based on.

I think nova is a new head inspired by the marvel now design. More Ed McGuiness / anime inspired.

Wolvie mates just seem kind of boring to me, but this is coming from someone who really likes the 80's X-Force/X-Men and Alpha Flight mates.

@slipstream - AoA is now retconned to have been an alternate earth altogether rather than an alternate timeline/reality of the prime (616) earth. Earth 212 or something. So X-Force traveling there would be like going to the Squadron Supreme earth. To the topic at hand, if AoU is a Boxset and only one boxset rather then it being announced that it is a companion set to a Direct Market exclusive ala AvX then I would say the following would be interesting choices: Ultron (differing parts) Since we already know we're getting a revamped villian then I would think he fits Luke Cage - haven't had him in a while Sue - she was a huge influence on the comic and the other huge influence (Wolverine) is being made in a TRU 2 pack. (Maybe they could include an alternate torso piece with her FF costume just to be nice) A new Goliath with modern bulking up pieces would be my favorite (Have to have the timeline breaker) Any combination of the Alternate timeline Defenders / Stark charcters would be interesting, but they may only be made if there's a second box set. Also the rest of Kostisfire's picks are great

Pred vision Dutch is the coolest toy I've ever seen.

Ok so apparently AoA happened on an alternate earth and not in the prime earth. I wiki'ed it since I was not familiar. And the exiles all feature popping around from 1 alternate earth to another like the show Sliders. So from that I would say that the alternate timeline present in AoU ceased to exist when the crossover ended since it was an alternate timeline of the prime earth and not an alternate dimension such as the world of the squadron supreme. Maybe at some point they'll say that alternate timelines become their own dimensions, but presently I don't think that's the case. I kinda want to read AoA now.

Well I won't spoil the currently shipping comic, but there are definitely ramifications to his choices is X-Force regarding Apoc. Regarding potential better timelines, I don't think that it was better. I think it was intended to be the "see you think it's better, but really it's much worse!" Kind of place like in a lot of what if stories. In regards to does it exist. I don't know. Do you know if the different marvel universes are alternate realities or different different earths?

@undeadpool - Right Flashpoint was published a while ago, but I just watched the animated movie and the structure of it reminded me how similar it is to AoU. Or I guess you could say how similar AoU's second half is to it. (At least the animated version, personally I found the Flashpoint crossover too broad and drawn out with too little time spent on the myriad of main characters. So the animated version condensing everything into an hour and a half and refocusing the story really improved it. IMHO) The movie was good though, and I would recommend it. @Valo487 - I haven't read X-Force, but I have been reading Uncanny Avengers and the little boy Apoc has been a large plot point in that series as well. Have you read it?

He says heavy a lot. In the future there must be some problem with earths gravitational pull. Also I just finished watching Justice League the Flashpoint Paradox and its pretty much point for point the second half of age of ultron except its saving someone in the past instead of killing them.

No they take place in the same timeline. It's not divergent. Think of it as if they made a crossover that dealt with the end of the world, but didn't want to stop the rest of comics for 6 months to have crossovers. So there was the point it started (Avengers FCBD) then the whole crossover takes places including the tie-ins (which feature the status quo of all the characters) then the crossover ends right where it began (with the same art from Avengers FCBD) followed by a brief epilogue on how the crossover will affect the Marvel Universe. It's like in Back to the Future when Marty gets back right when he left.

Age of Ultron is 616 continuity. It was just erased. Basically it started "in the middle" with the heroes on the ropes and proceded to sort everything out and end with the universe slightly changed by basically the status quo. @Jake - No they were not better with either Ultron alive or Pym dead. The question the comic asked was, "What if you could kill Hitler? (Or apparently Hitler's Dad in Pym's case.) Wouldn't that make everything better?" In the Pym-less future the entire Earth is embroiled in a war of Magic which left most of Europe decimated, and the last defense against it is killed in a nuclear explosion that destroys New York. That is not better than everyone basically being fine albeit with a few less people keeping their mutant power IMHO.

Ahh Marvel Man, that old chestnut. It seems like the end of every crossover for the last 3 or 4 years has been speculated to bring Marvel Man back into the fold. Age of U was meant to take place before Avengers V X-Men at the least since there is art floating around showing Charles on crutches instead of awkward standing Emma in the 1st issue. I do agree that Angela-mate should wait her turn though. I would personally love a 4-pack of Caps Kooky Quartet. Cap, 1st app Scarlet Witch, 1st app Hawkeye, and 1st app Quicksilver. Also I know Heroes Reborn is sort of maligned, but a Heroes Reborn Iron Man would be awesome.
