Twisted Two-Face Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 how come the action figures dont have the helmets, and the minimates dont have the hair This Loki costume isn't the one he wears the helmet with, helmeted Thor wasn't shown to Hasbro at first (i presume, as it wasn't publically either) and it gives them reasons to release more than one of each. As for the minimates....i really wanted that Loki hair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImABarRoomHero Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 Does anyone ever see the Gigantic Battles box sets in stores? None of the Wal-Marts in my area carries any of them. You talking bout the Cap/Skrull and Iron man/Giant Man sets? If so, those things are long gone. Clearanced out forever ago....unless there is a new set that I have no idea about....

undeadpool Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 im looking for the bill foster set since ive decided that MU giant figures are the perfect scale for minimates Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

youbastards Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 I snagged the newest Gigantic Battles sets this weekend and tossed them on eBay for some quick profit. It was a tough decision though, as that Frost Giant is AMAZING!!!!! It's a good thing I don't collect MU as these would have been opened up in a heartbeat.

hellpop Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 So, is it just me, or has it been ages since any new figures from this line came out? I can't remember the last time I bought one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
storm 1:08 Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 I don't follow the MU line closely but isn't Marvel Legends coming out sometime this year? I always assumed the MU line would slow down a little with ML coming out. And the last MU wave that came out at TRU was around Christmas. I got a Planet Hulk figure during that time.

groundhog7s Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 The newest MU wave is actually starting to hit now and so are the Gigantic Battles. From what it seems like, thenext wave won't be too far behind. I think a lot of retail product has a weird release schedule after Christmas/New Years every year.

Webhead Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 I've snagged both Gigantic battles sets and they are awesome. I'll also be getting the latest wave later this week. Can't wait to see Apoc, Cable, and 90s cyclops in person Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TM2 Dinobot Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 I'm still looking for the Lizard, Scorpion and the new Venom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
storm 1:08 Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 I forgot who was in the next wave but after seeing the lineup again, I remembered that I want Apocalypse. Cyclops is a maybe. Hopefully these will come out around the same time that we're hunting for the TRU Marvel Minimates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImABarRoomHero Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Just saw the gigantic battles today, very tempted to get them. I would have if I hadn't just snagged a Deadpool/Taskmaster Comic pack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punisher Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 I just want cable from the new wave. Sucks he's one per case Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groundhog7s Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 I'm still looking for the Lizard, Scorpion and the new Venom I don't think those have really it much. I lucked out and found Lizard and Scorpion on HTS with a 20% off promo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nessex Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 We should be getting FA/another freaking Wolverine ( ), Messiah Complex Apoc, Messiah Complex Cable, Jim Lee Cyclops & Gladiator right about now. I'm pretty stoked about Cable & Gladiator. Gladi hasn't had a figure since the mid 90's ToyBiz waves. Some lucky chap has found and posted pics up over at Marvelousnews.com of Cable, A-poc & Cyke. A chap in Philippines the has also found the X-Men Giant Sized 6-pack. So - hopefully these will start hitting regular retail in the States & Oz in the very near future.

Twisted Two-Face Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 My LCS actually got in the new Wave today, to my surprise!!! Picked up Cyke and Apoc, the only two i wanted. I may go back for Gladiator, not sure, but God i hate how scrawny Cable looks... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nessex Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 i thought he looked kinda skinny. Was hoping maybe he wouldn't look so bad in person Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always assumed the MU line would slow down a little with ML coming out. And the last MU wave that came out at TRU was around Christmas. I got a Planet Hulk figure during that time. I think Legends won't begin again until next year. As far as I'm aware, they haven't shown any product yet or confirmed the lineup for the whole wave, though I might have missed it. I expect we'll see the first prototypes at San Diego, and see the figures in stores early next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattallica Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 can anyone hook me up with the gigantic battles sets(loki/frost giant and foster giantman/thor) PLEASE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groundhog7s Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 I'll look for you, but just caved and bought/traded for a set for myself. They were worth it, but I figure I will find them now on the shelf (so I'll get them for you if that's the case). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
