The JC Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Voting for the 2012 TRU fan poll boxset began May of last year. It's now July and still no word on this year's boxset. Is this still happening? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nervous Rex Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Nice to hear, I've been wondering who's going to be included. It would be cool to have actual figures/prototypes to base my votes on.... And even cooler if we see these at SDCC :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeganUAB Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 I bet it will be Age of Ultron, and Future Foundation Sue will be a candidate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twisted Two-Face Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 I'm not sure why it would be Age of Ultron...but i'll gladly take FF Sue. Let's see, we've had Secret Wars, Cap, Galactus, AvX. (Wow, have we really had 4 already? Holy jeez...) I honestly don't have much of an idea though. Age of Ultron kinda flopped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

youbastards Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 The TRU Fan Poll sets have always been heavy on new tooling, and would be a perfect place for the Brotherhood to debut! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thereasonsy Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 As much as I love Sue, I would rather have a character that hasn't been done before or is in a need of a redo. That said the Galactus line has been a peg warmer at my TRU so I wouldn't be surprised if we don't have a set of lesser known characters again.

undeadpool Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 I hope its not Age of Ultron i'd be up for Infinity but it may be too early for DST to pull that off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterMiracle Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Yes. As much as I love Sue, I would rather have a character that hasn't been done before or is in a need of a redo. That said the Galactus line has been a peg warmer at my TRU so I wouldn't be surprised if we don't have a set of lesser known characters again. I thought that set did fairly well. There was maybe one or two sets that hung around for a while between 3 different Toys R Us stores. It seemed like the Secret Wars and Captain America sets hung around lot longer on the shelfs. Brotherhood of Evil Mutants! YES, PLEASE! Pyro Blob Toad and Mystique Swap out Mystique for Avalanche and I'm in! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zak Katz Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 So when can we expect the poll to be put up? Whose Avalanche... Was he in X-Men Evolutions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zexion_Armando Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 I'd love any X-men set, really. Marvel Now or BoEM specifically. If not, Hellfire Club (Shaw, Mastermind, new White Queen Emma, and either a new Dark Phoenix, or one of the remaining members like Pierce or Leland, or one of the X-men to anchor the set like Cyclops, Wolverine, or Kitty.

robby Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Okay Guys , i know this is not gonna happen ever But what about a Shi'Ar Boxset ? With Gambit In His Shi'Ar Outfit ?And Rogue And Erik ? Or The Trial of Gambit Boxset ? Those Comic's Got me really into the X-Men ! A Man Can Dream ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nessex Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Hellfire Club & Brotherhood of Mutants are two of my biggest wants right now. If we got box sets, i'd really like to see some of the lower tier characters included. Classic White Queen could anchor the set and allow Donald Pierce to be included (give him an extra cyborg arm... kids like cyborgs, right?). Same goes for BOM... I'd love it if someone like Unus or Destiny could be included (depending on if they go for silver age or more modern line-up). Zach - are you able to let us know when we the poll will be announced?

MiniMage Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 I'm honestly hoping for Young Avengers, Kid Loki would be e~pic! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSTZach Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 No idea, trying to find out. Zak, Avalanche was in X-Men Evolution AND Wolverine and the X-Men, but the latter is closer to his comic appearance: I think all the characters in the poll are pretty big names, but we'll see what you guys think.

MisterMiracle Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 So when can we expect the poll to be put up? Whose Avalanche... Was he in X-Men Evolutions? Avalanche is another member of the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants. I didn't know Avalanche was in the two more recent cartoons too. I know him from the 90's X-Men cartoon when he always teamed up with his buddy Pyro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellpop Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Yes. >As much as I love Sue, I would rather have a character that hasn't been done before or is in a need of a redo.

There was maybe one or two sets that hung around for a while between 3 different Toys R Us stores. It seemed like the Secret Wars and Captain America sets hung around lot longer on the shelfs. I don't know about that. I don't think Galactus shipped to as many stores as other sets (including the later AvX one) and the one store I know of that had it in stock still had full pegs the last time I visited (which would have been a few months ago). I definitely don't think it did as well as Secret Wars or Cap. Certainly not Cap, which seemed to sell through rather quickly and became hard to find.

youbastards Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 We're probably talking different quantities ordered too, Galactus has been in-stock on TRU.com for quite some time, so the numbers were most likely higher than the other sets too. I think all the characters in the poll are pretty big names, but we'll see what you guys think. Confirmation it isn't a "Through The Ages" set!

DSTZach Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Or Galactus didn't sell as well as the Cap set, because it didn't have Cap in it? Not sure what we made of each. Yes, this will not be a Through the Ages set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeganUAB Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 If it has a theme then it would have to have a lot of characters to choose from right? If they want to tie it into the new wave coming to TRU then an Uncanny Avengers set would compliment all the marvel now characters. I would really like a What If themed boxset, but I doubt that would ever happen. haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lobsterman Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Maybe a "Thor and Foes" set? He's the only guy with a movie and no cross-sell box set announced yet this year. Thor to anchor obviously, and we get to pick from, say, Enchantress, Ulik, Malekith, Surtur, and Loki? Or (dare to dream), maybe a NOW mashup with some of the leftover bigs and a couple fan favorites: Thor, Cyclops, GotG Iron Man, Hawkeye, Strange, Cap. Marvel?
