cdubya Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 I got mine in the mail today. This is the best set ever. The only thing that's this good is the Avengers wave that came out not too long ago. DST/Marvel needs to release NEW characters like this. This really is a dream come true (dorky toy collector wise) and I can't explain how happy I am to be completing my set with these characters. Hell yes!! It's a beautiful thing when DST ventures beyond the sea of endless-rehash. I could go for 1 or 2 of these every year if it's the only way possible. Even with Hulk's continual dimimitive height (I'd have preferred a Hellcat, Gargoyle, or Nighthawk personally!) this set shines brightly. Besides the "Giant-size X-Men" set (oh so many years ago), this is definitely the best boxset e'vah!! Here's hoping that DST continues this line of thinking and gives us boxsets of this caliber more often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It beats the shit out of some of the series that they've released. I hope they'll do more things like this. That is, release NEW characters.

Mystery Man Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 Oh yeah, and something else. If any of you are making yourself a green trunked Namor, the red cape from Scarlet Witch looks really good on him. He wore it while in Atlantis back in the Tales to Astonish comics when he was in the book in the 1960's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ankian Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 Got my set today. I love this set. In fact, this set is so good that it is going to get the honour of my first use of the dancing banana. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rx78jj Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 Well, I ordered mine last week. Can't wait to see if I was lucky enough to get myself an Armored Spidey. I had to buy 2 Defenders sets. The way I look at it, I was gonna open one and eventually order another one to keep mint, plus I (hopefully) will also be getting that special little spidey to boot. ;-) WIN WIN.

My guess is that they'll have this Web Armor Spidey around for a while yet, it's one of the reasons I haven't ordered a bunch of stuff I don't need or gone to any over priced ebay stores... I'm 99% certain you'll get your W.A.S. T. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 Well, I ordered mine last week. Can't wait to see if I was lucky enough to get myself an Armored Spidey. I had to buy 2 Defenders sets. The way I look at it, I was gonna open one and eventually order another one to keep mint, plus I (hopefully) will also be getting that special little spidey to boot. ;-) WIN WIN. When they send you an electronic invoice, make sure that the Web Armor Spidey is there. I'm fairly certain that they haven't run out (or they should, in all good conscience, announce it), but they are mistake-prone. I placed two orders from them, and on one invoice, the WAS was not listed. I e-mailed them about it, and they said that they had made a mistake and contacted the warehouse so that it would be included in that shipment. . .they also send me two orders in one box, so I got a nice 8 dollar shipping refund as well, when I e-mailed them about it. Their customer support has been very excellent in my limited experience. . .but ultimately, if you paid over 25 bucks and got two Defender sets when they were listed as part of the promotion, then you should most likely get your Spidey.

rx78jj Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 Is it me or are these minimates a different styled color than the older mates. These so far have been a more muted color than the brighter ones in the past. Like Classic wolverine for example or Doc Oc. Still haven't taken out Spidey. Looks great though.

buttheadsmate Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 The Defenders set is generally regarded as one of the best Minimate sets ever,Namor & the Doc. being instant incarnations of what I,for one, hoped they would be. So what ? So why are AFX using a free WASp to promote them? Is it perhaps that they are not as popular as we here think they are? Of course there are many factors involved but ,for me, this is another bad omen! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxcarnage Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 hey just to let you all know if you did not jump on the ball and get these from AFX they are coming to your LCS tomorrow, assuming your LCS ordered them, and you are on the west cost.

lastmaximal Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 kickass news, when a nearby LCS posted its weekly update i thought it was just that one store that decided to order them. i'll have a much easier time going to the one nearer me. i'm getting an extra set to customize the namor. if anyone needs the others, let me know, in case i can't find a use for 'em.
