Jatta Pake Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 We got half of this cover but we are still missing the greatest American fighting force ever assembled: Freedom Force Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 Freedom Force would also be great. Of course, they were previously an incarnation of the Brotherhood. Neither of what you posted is MY number one favorite team. Nah, pretty sure you were just mistaken. Obviously, you want the Squadron Supreme just like all good, red-blooded Americans do.

Duano12 Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 I just can't get over how ecstatic I am that I have my second favorite team in Minimate form!! Still waiting on Number One, though, DST... this team is a must. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sha_ckwave Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 God those costumes SUCK. And "Guido" was the worst super-hero ever created. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stack32 Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 I have a soft spot for 90's costumes, but I have to agree that the X-Factor outfits are especially bad. However, Strong Guy was, and is, awesome. Isn't it about time for an X-Factor Appreciation thread? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turtle Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 God those costumes ROCK. And "Guido" is the best super-hero ever created. You've got taste and class, sir. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nessex Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 90's X-Factor and Freedom Force are both at the top of my Most Wanted Teams list. . . and i feel that they are both pretty likely ni the next couple of years. I just hope Destiny doesn't get overlooked if/when they get made. As for the Alpha Flight mates, i just got my TRU pack in the mail this week. It. Is. Awesome! Heather looks FANTASTIC. I had no problems with her masks coming off. The red mask has a tiny bit of a pink hue to it due it being painted over the red plastic, but i display her with the Blue one anyway. Box is a monster - especially when using his blast stand. This set is total win. Can't wait to get the NYCC box set in hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkeye's Junk Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 Freedom Force is perfect for a Comic con box set. Destiny, Mystique, Blob, Avalanche. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nessex Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 Hells Yes! TRU tie-in with Pyro & Val Cooper/Stonewall? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSTZach Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 Jeez, X-Factor has taken over this thread AND the Series 49 thread? I wish I still had my run, so I could re-read it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nessex Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 it's worth picking up again. Just been slowly re-reading the 90's stuff over the past year. Guido on a date with Sean Young. 'Nuff said Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxcarnage Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 Just found this set and the AvsX set today at Tucson comic con! Guess I got to get the NY comic con set to and complete the series Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sha_ckwave Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 Sorry AFX. No matter how long you delay the shipment of Alpha set #2 to other etailers, I'm not going to buy it from you. Gouge people on shipping enough, and they'd rather wait a month or two than patronize you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youbastards Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 (edited) If anyone here has an Amazon Prime membership, you can get Alpha Flight Boxset #2 shipped free (2 Day Shipping) directly from Amazon for $19.99. They also have Thundercats Boxset #2 for $23 Oddly enough, both show as being fulfilled by AFX, so not sure why their own website says they don't have them instock. I ordered these and received them last week. Disregard, I saw that they aren't shipping to other wholesale retailers.

sha_ckwave Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 Nope... rather give my money to Luke. Even if it means waiting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mystery Man Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 I feel the same way. If I hadn't have had a pal pick 'em up for me at NYCC, I'd be waiting too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youbastards Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 I saw it as screwing over AFX because they didn't get to make money off of shipping costs on my order! Sorry Luke, free shipping and no tax will always win out over store loyalty for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buttheadsmate Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 I have a long memory & whilst I give AFX total respect for their obvious love & commitment to the Minimate line it pales into insignificance when compared to Mr.Porter & his Emporium . I've bought a few minimates in my time & I've just about dealt with everybody that sells them & the blessed thing about the Toy Store is that you can actually talk to the guy ,praise the guy...... & give him fuck when there's a problem.....which is very rare. I would have packed this minimate lark in years ago if Luke hadn't opened his store & many of my earlier Marvel waves would have been missing if I'd relied on my AFX pre-orders....like I said I have a long memory.

youbastards Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 I did a Google image search for the term "Luke is great" and this was a top result, so I guess it applies. Yay Luke! :biggrin: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellpop Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Had to do that myself. You also get this: and this: I don't know what any of this means! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSTZach Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 That's the Great Luke Ski. Aspiring Weird Al successor. I agree, Luke is awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emperorshotz Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 Has anyone else had problems with Aurora's black hairpiece? It's WAY too small... I had to sand the inside for a good hour and even then, I shouldn't have had to do that at all Otherwise, I freakin' love these 'mates.

MST3KFan Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 Just pre-ordered the second set off Luke's since I live in the same state he does, so I usually get the package the day after I order. XD Pumped to get the set as I'm still in awe we even got Alpha Flight finally in MM form. Now Zach...could we maybe get a Power Pack 4-pack maybe? Please? ^_^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now Zach...could we maybe get a Power Pack 4-pack maybe? Please? ^_^ Asking the wrong guy. Hoping Series 50 sells well enough that I can convince Chuck to do this again, maybe we could have people choose between potential four-packs: Power Pack, Wrecking Crew, New Fantastic Four, Frightful Four, Masters of Evil, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luke314pi Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 Thanks guys! AFX is still pushing the release date for retailers out further into November, but our shipment is still guaranteed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
