Mysterious Stranger

Is there anything that we know for sure is coming out that we haven't seen yet?

I don't collect a lot of Marvel Legends figures. Mostly Deadpool, a few MCU and other figures. Rarely do I complete a BAF (I have some parts laying here on my desk at work) but when I got the 3 Deadpool figures from the Sauron wave and got the BAF parts in hand I knew I had to complete Sauron. So I snagged the other 3 figures and put him together yesterday. He's a beautiful figure. I have no attachment to the character and honestly don't see myself looking him up. But man is this a gorgeous piece of plastic. So cool looking and such great play value. He'll be living with me here at the office for quite a while.

My wife needed to pick up a prescription at Walgreens this morning so I tagged along, not expecting to find anything. But I was pleasantly surprised to find 1 set of Infinity War wave 2 at the back of a peg behind a Thor pack. I bought the two exclusive sets and now I’m complete. They didn’t have anything else new on the animated front. This was the store on Van Nuys Blvd at Sherman Way in Van Nuys, CA for those keeping score.

Mine too. Well my wife's. I'm not an X-Files fan but it was her first fandom.

The dress is clearly blue and black.

I don’t know Marvel characters that intimately so this one is going to be a surprise for me.

I still need the Walgreens Wave 2 exclusives if anyone happens across them.

Unless there was a pretty identifying costume, I think a What If? themed set would be a hard sell. “This says its Spider-man but it looks like a secret agent?” I’d be more inerested in the Amalgam characters. Pretty sure the rights are messy as hell but it would be a fun series.

All of the Agents of Atlas would be awesome.

From the DST Facebook page... "The first DST panel at Comic-Con International will be the Minimates/Vinimates panel, celebrating 15 years of Marvel Minimates! Come to the panel at 10:30 on Saturday in Room 8."

A Janet Van Dyne Wasp and phasing Ghost 2-pack would have made a nice SDCC exclusive.

We got the full main cast of Thundercats plus the new 'cats and some cool villains after the main 4. I'd say the Thundercats exclusives, both SDCC and NYCC were a huge success. I'm beyond happy that I have a great, complete set of Thundercats figures all in one scale. The problem I see from recent years is when the exclusive is debuted at SDCC but then available at retail later, like the Spider-man Homecoming set. It was debuted at SDCC early and released at TRU.com so its poor sales performance at SDCC could be partially attributed to that. If its not solely exclusive, only sold AT the show, then its not as collectible as an exclusive. TRU was doing that a lot with their SDCC exclusives, not just Minimates but most of their "Comicon Exclusives" were sold by Entertainment Earth at the show first then online on TRU.com and in stores later. Thus diluting the exclusivity.

Zach you said that DST was not going to have a giveaway this year. Is anyone else going to have one that you are aware of?

Totally worth it if you don't want the exclusive item (Phaser rifle). I'm considering picking up a second one to have for a "me" custom.

Series 4 is coming to specialty shops. Including the TRU exclusives.

Anything 2099. Those were some great designs.

Classic Arcade fits the theme of this line so far. I'd be happy with that.

Deluxe Box Set with Town Hall Fountain diorama piece coming in November. Includes Jack, Sally, The Mayor and exclusive Harlequin Demon.

This wave is up for preorder at BBTS with an estimated arrival of November 2018.

I like what little I've read about his plans, making more of an experience then just a store. Not sure how well it would do but if it kept some stores open and people employed I'd be willing to check it out.

I have not given up hope for the Dropship, but at this point I'd much rather just get the last 2 characters to complete the team.

I like that Hulkbuster. Great mix of new and existing parts.

As much as I'd love to have a modern era Flagg, it ain't gonna happen. G.I. Joe collectors are few in number compared to Star Wars, and notoriously cheap. I'm glad this went through though. It speaks to the commitment Hasbro has in the brand and the fans in stepping up when given the opportunity.

SPOILERS!

Which of those are the Walgreens exclusives?
