winkerbean Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 http://www.artasylum.com/2014/02/ship-dates-update-10/ don't see these listed on the new shipping list that goes up to July and the films out in May? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youbastards Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 (edited) They can't solicit until the designs are approved, and photos weren't yet allowed at Toy Fair. Edited February 27, 2014 by youbastards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPL Posted February 27, 2014 Author Share Posted February 27, 2014 Maybe they'll hit in time for the home video release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valo487 Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 The Wolverine 'mates came out between the theatrical release and home video release. Not the best option in the world, but sometimes it's unavoidable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPL Posted February 27, 2014 Author Share Posted February 27, 2014 So long as they can take advantage of the peripheral marketing for one or the other, I think it's fine. As I've said elsewhere, I'd prefer to wait for the home video release if only because it gives manufacturers time to develop better product and retailers more time to gauge demand.

Valo487 Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Since these aren't being shared with TRU, I think that gives them a bit more leeway in terms of release dates. Fewer impulse buys in the LCS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPL Posted February 27, 2014 Author Share Posted February 27, 2014 That's why I wish they'd offer the LCS series later. Let TRU offer the most popular characters (when the DO take them). Give the direct market what they want in terms of more obscure variants or characters when the source material is available, at least in terms of movie product. Of course with the sporadic way TRU has been offering product lately, there's no telling what might hit first. (Tomb Raider, I'm looking at you!)

DSTZach Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Interesting, but that assumes that an LCS is not going to want the main characters, as well, and doesn't care if they get them near the movie. A wave of obscure or secondary characters, released months after TRU's assortment, when the movie has possibly disappointed all potential customers, will probably not be as desirable. In this case, this assortment is exclusively at comic shops and specialty stores, and it has a lot of the main characters in it, so even if it comes out later in the summer of fall, LCS interest will still be reasonably high.

pappymojo Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Do it like how little kids pick teams. Two captains. One representing TRU. One representing all LCS. Have them do rock, paper, scissors. Winning captain picks first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

youbastards Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 ...if they happen... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valo487 Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Why wouldn't they? They've been designed and the only reason we haven't seen them is because the licensor hasn't signed off yet. I haven't seen anything that indicates these aren't happening. In other news, I was not thrilled that they brought Halle Berry back as Storm, but if this trailer is indicating what I think it is, I'm ok with it.

youbastards Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 From the most recent Q&A: Matt K.: Good evening DST folks. I was lookin thru photos from the new york toy fair and saw hints of the movie versions of the days of future past folks. I was just wondering with those sets, are there accompanying toys r us sets for those. And are we going to see young and old versions of magneto and prof. X? as well as minimates of havok and toad and Trask and a sentinel? AND when these sets come out how long will it be before we see a box set comic version of the days of future past characters? Keep up the good work! TTFN! DST Chuck: Those are still with the studio for approval, so anything I would say could still be changed. We’re going to have to hear from them soon to get that set out at all, so hopefully we have some news for you soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Trailer looks good. Up until that point I haven't been thrilled with the prospects of this movie. . .I'm still a bit skeptical, but I'm convinced to go watch it at the theaters if I can.

Valo487 Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Ugh. If this set doesn't make it out I will not be happy. Fox just loves to go bass ackwards with their X-Men merchandise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onyx_6 Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 I think we seriously need to be concerned about these. The Guardians of the Galaxy set is listed as 57, according to Luke's. Meaning either we will see 58 before 57, we will see this with the DVD release, or we will not see these at all.... But, hey! New trailer!

Valo487 Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 One day I will understand why Fox doesn't want to make money off of this property. It won't be anytime soon though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merchandise is a separate issue altogether, not sure why there isn't more info out there about that. I mean, I think I know the answer, but it's not my place to say.I don't think 58 (DOFP) will come out before 57 (GOTG); we renumbered them so they would be in the correct release order. GOTG has leapfrogged DOFP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I meant, there hasn't been a great deal of merchandise made for the X-Men films, especially compared to the Marvel Studios or new Spider-Man films. DST has done the most, and even you guys have been forced to skip certain characters because they don't get you reference materials in time. They make the majority of their profits from the movies, but there hasn't been a real merchandise spread available since X-Men Origins: Wolverine.

DSTZach Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 59 is comic-based, and we may just do that, if it's ready soon. Not going to be the Multiverse-pleaser that 54 was, but it's based on current comics, and I like it a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
