Gillbob316 Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 I was shocked to find Series 3 & 4 within a week of eachother the last... well week or two. I found/bought out an entire Wave 3 at my local Walgreens (first time finding it in the wild), then I'm pretty sure they immediately restocked it with Wave 4 the following week. Which I also bought out. Never gotten two consecutive full waves so quickly without ordering them online. The only slight peeve of the whole situation is Wave 2.5 seems to have passed over my area entirely. Never saw a single one. Lingering packs from Wave 2 warmed shelves for months at every local Walgreens, until Suddenly 3 & 4 appeared. The kicker is, the Wave 2 packs are still there warming. 3 & 4 stocking seems to have sidestepped 2. Wheras 2.5 never came because 2 never sold out. (Which makes a certain degree of sense, but is still irksome) So I guess now I have to track down 2.5 on ebay. :/ PS. I just want to say, I'm loving the effort Walgreens is putting into lineups for these waves. They really seem to be trying to cater to us as collectors, in addition to releasing the mandatory Spideys, Hulks & Iron Men. Beyond even letting us choose Man-Thing & Squirrel Girl... they're working in some really obscure unreleased characters in these waves and I love it. If only they could do Comic Book waves in addition to Animated, I'd be in Heaven. As a fan of the cancelled book Exiles, I'm super happy to have Hyperion & Power Princess. (Even if I don't yet have Power Princess... grr... 2.5, lol) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm never going to see the new stuff when it comes out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSTZach Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 Beyond Squirrel Girl and Man Thing, I believe artist/product manager Barry is choosing the line-ups, although Walgreens (and Chuck) approves them -- but I may be wrong. You should like Series 5. Series 6 too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The animated line has been pretty great, in my opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I can tell, neither has been on Ultimate Spider-Man. Series 5 will have one set from USM and three from Avengers Assemble.

Series 5 will be revealed on 4/21. Series 6 has some highly requested re-dos and I think at least one or two unmade characters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spidermatt Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 For the symbiote could it be transformation venom with Harry Osborn parts? May Parker for the spiderverse female. ? Or is it Petra Parker?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

montrossx Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Hope we finally get a new Abomination. Radioactive Man would be good, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NerdyTrev Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Thunderbolts would be good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedTiger95 Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 Looks like Avengers Assemble did their take on Civil War. So we could see some of these characters in the next Avengers sets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NerdyTrev Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 Who was involved that would be likely guesses? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onyx_6 Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 Kamala Kahn, Captain Marvel Carol, Black Bolt and Medusa, Inferno and a bunch of other Inhumans they made up, and Ultron. Red Hulk (S.M.A.S.H. Version), too. He replaced Hulk for a short spell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloDelorean Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 Looking at the clues, the only characters on that list that would be possible are Medusa or Kamala for the unmade female hero. If the Spider-Verser isn't new, the only possibilities I can think of are Mary Jane Watson Spider-Woman or Jessica Drew Black Widow. I still think the symbiote is Carnage-Hulk. Abomination or the Leader are the only two villains I can think of who would make sense and have been demanded as re-dos, with Abomination being the more likely of the two. Absorbing Man and Titania would fit as the remaining villains, but realistically it could be anyone. I have no idea what the IM armours could be.

Onyx_6 Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 The Igor Armor just showed up in a Guardians of the Galaxy episode. Or it could be any of the teammate Hulkbuster armors from when they fought Thanos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedTiger95 Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 The two armors could be the underwater suit or that futuristic suit he used against Kang the Conqueror. The female villain could Meteorite from the Thunderbolts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The female villain could Meteorite from the Thunderbolts. We got Meteorite as Moonstone though. EDIT: Looking at the AA wiki, the only characters besides Titania who really makes sense for the new female villain are Hela and Yelena Belova. There are a few others, but they're mostly members of teams that don't work with the clues. Edited April 19, 2017 by BuffaloDelorean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NerdyTrev Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 They're still too different costumes I'd like to see. Besides the chances of finding a Moonstone out in the wild that doesn't require blood as payment are very slim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, even if Osbolts Moonstone was readily available I'd much rather get her 90's Meteorite costume, along with the rest of the classic T-Bolts, or at least the initial roster. I was just pointing out that she didn't follow the clues, I'd love to see the Thunderbolts get released similarly to the Squadron Supremister.

suicidewatch Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 I was back in my hometown where there are like 12 Walgreens and in 3 of them there were no Minimates at all. Not even a shelf spot for them. The rest of the stores just had waves 1 and 1.5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
