Zexion_Armando Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 Any chance these might go on sale for Black Friday/Cyber Monday?I might wait on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterMiracle Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 (edited) So what's the deal with this wave? Were there less sets made than other waves or did a lot of places just not order them? I've been to about 5 different comic shops now and nobody ever has this wave in stock. Edited February 9, 2015 by MisterMiracle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure about the comic shops in your area, but the ones in my area stopped stocking the new ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mysterious Stranger Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Plus it came out a few months ago so they might have sold out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MisterMiracle Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 But I never even saw traces of them. Every comic shop has at least one set left as far back as Series 18 so I think it's a little strange that 5 comic shops in my area would immediately sell out and never restock them. I know I can resort to Luke's or eBay to track these down. My concern is...are comic shops not buying as many sets or skipping entire waves now due to leftover peg warmers from older waves?

Onyx_6 Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Yes. At least my LCS is. They used to have 4 collectors buying sets. They cut down orders to 3 cases, and one person was okay not getting the variant. Then they cut back to two cases, and only two of us got full sets. Then they told me they could not justify buying two cases anymore and were dropping to one case. They could no longer guarantee a full set. I told them I could get my sets online (through Luke). I am happy paying Luke for full sets or custom cases as, even with shipping, I am paying less than the $10.54 per 2-pack I pay at my LCS. I do still occasionally pick up a Marvel box set from my LCS, but not all of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tetton517 Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 I just got around to opening these sets and realized my Angel has two different colored hands. One is the muted maroonish color and the other is the brighter red like his feet. Would DST send me the proper color? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kostisfire Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 (edited) Sorry for the thread necro but I can't find this wave anywhere on the net! Does anyone have any idea where I might have some luck? Now, I realize that it's been 4 or so months after its release, but I never thought that it'd get sold out so fast. I mean, Luke still has the Cap wave in-stock... So, any Good Samaritans out there? Please? Edited April 23, 2015 by Kostisfire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nessex Posted April 23, 2015 Author Share Posted April 23, 2015 I've seen it here in Australia, but the price difference might mean you'll want to shop for it a little closer to home. Still - if you are desperate, i'd be happy to pick up whatever is left in stores for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So how much are roughly talking about? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigvis497 Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 I had to get mine through BBTS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kostisfire Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 I had to get mine through BBTS I was planning on getting mine through there as well, after Luke's sold out, but I checked their inventory yesterday and they were out too! Which is surprising, since they had, like, 8 last week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSTZach Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 We still have it in stock, so retailers can still order it. The team has been in the news lately. Looks like this Bobby Drake may be different from present-day Bobby Drake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterMiracle Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 0 out of 3 local comic shops ordered this wave. I've never seen it in person. I had to trade to get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MsMarvel fan Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 Forgive the thread rez, but is anyone else experiencing the ice effects from the Iceman and Bobby Drake sets turning the color of snow on the side of the road way? I pulled them out of storage and couldn't believe the brown tint to them. Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MsMarvel fan Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 They had a slight brown tinge to them when I first opened them, but this is a significant change in color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mysterious Stranger Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 That's part of the reason why I got a couple extra of the Blizzard sets (besides armybuilding the Mandroid). I wanted those ice effects for Iceman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloDelorean Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 Mine are the same colour as my flight stands. Personally, prefer that to the blue of the Blizzard parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
