Mysterious Stranger Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MisterPL Posted May 2, 2018 Author Share Posted May 2, 2018 It's funny that DST didn't want to offer a 4th assortment to specialty. My LCS has passed on every Alien wave but saw this one and the owner said he'd have no problem moving a case with all those xenos in the wave. Hopefully other retailers feel the same way, otherwise we're probably looking at more 4-packs at best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stack32 Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 Without actually seeing them in a store and the excitement of finding new product I don't think I can bring myself to buy these. Interestingly it's for the same reason others might be interested: All those Xenos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPL Posted May 2, 2018 Author Share Posted May 2, 2018 What would you have preferred? Are we saturated in xenos? I know I have a LOT. I'll be getting one complete set and probably at least a couple other 2-packs for some customs. Army builders are just icing on the cake.

stack32 Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 I would have preferred anything but that same darn Xeno mold again. I lost track of how many I have but I'm sure it's over 20 and I need it to be something really cool to justify buying more. I might be able to handle an army building set of the red Hiveworld Aliens (I don't think the red Alien here is close enough to work for that) but otherwise I need to see some new tooling. If the Isolation Alien had some new legs to represent it's slightly different appearance I might be interested. It doesn't help that I don't have much interest in the human characters in this wave either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youbastards Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 I love everything about this wave....except for Ripley's likeness. I can't look at this: and not see this: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cylonchaney Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 I'm waiting for a drop ship and / or a clean Bishop and (can't think of her name now pilot chick) before I buy anymore Alien related mates. I hope these sell well enough that those get made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The different expressions are great but they could switch up some parts here and there to go with the mix & match play pattern. An exploding chest piece would be cool for a platoon of marines firing wildly at a surrounding horde. (I love that Flaming Alien.) I'm disappointed Dillon doesn't come with parts for another Fury 161 inmate. Hopefully this line continues and we can squeeze in more humans for a greater variety of xenos to victimize and everyone's happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloDelorean Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 (edited) I think the dropship is looking pretty unlikely, but it would be nice if there could be at least one more mixed wave with clean Bishop and Ferro. I'm interested in the Blue Xeno/Ron Perlman set for those reasons alone, but it isn't a priority for me.

Ironically, "inmate" is the source of "Minimate." Facts you probably know! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elhonez Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 Ah, I get it. "Inmate" as in inmate of the "Art Asylum." Mini-Inmate... MiniMate... I see what you did there. I actually never knew that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onyx_6 Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 I still say we need a chest block/cap for the Xenomorph that allows for it to be looking ‘up’ for a crawling pose. This would have been perfect for this wave, to give us the swimming Xeno from Resurrection as well as the Ox/Dog Alien from 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MisterPL Posted May 23, 2018 Author Share Posted May 23, 2018 Has anyone here picked up the latest assortment? This was supposed to be out last week, wasn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPL Posted June 7, 2018 Author Share Posted June 7, 2018 Since this was supposed to be a TRU assortment, there should be a shitload of these things, right? We've been told that specialty gets around 3,000 units while TRU gets 10,000, correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffBohn Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 That was my assumption as well, but the specialty stores would actually have to order them for them to be available. I could see these ending up at a discount outlet unless DST was able to adjust production numbers. (I still ordered the wave from Luke and love it though!)

MisterPL Posted June 7, 2018 Author Share Posted June 7, 2018 My store ordered one case for me. They've received two 2-packs. One would think that if DST was swimming in excess inventory that Diamond would be eager to ship full cases like they usually do. While I want to support local business, Diamond isn't making it easy. After weeks of waiting I'm tempted to order through Luke's but I don't want to screw my LCS if/when the full case finally arrives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
