If any Illinoiser is trying to get the exclusives from the St. Charles Borders store, that's the one my mom works at, so as long as I get one exclusive for myself, I can get any others you want at a discount.

And, if you prevent me from getting my own pack because you want to scalp it, I'll hunt you down. ;)

Hope your mom picked it up because I was there tonight and all they had was one left. PS Illinois was a pain in the ass I Had to hit foour no where near each other to get them...but the borders people were all super helpful.

Were any of them the Schaumburg one, because that's the one I plan on checking, if I ever get around to it.

Don't know if this helps anyone, but I stopped by the local Borders yesterday and the exclusives were located near the Manga/Anime stuff. That and the Marvel Select figures were right near each other. They had a couple of the exclusive packs, 1 Iron Man/War Machine, 1 Pepper/Drone, 1 Happy Hogan (who looked eerily similar to Agent Zero. . .one of the most useless exclusives of all time due to him being a generic looking civvie in a suit)/Drone, and 1 regular Mark IV/Whiplash. They were $8 each. The Marvel Select Mark IV was supposedly also a Borders Exclusive.

BD Whiplash has an impressive "grill" of gold teeth.

I got my TRU shipment last night, overall I'm very happy with these sets. I also got "Bow-Legged" Rhodey, but it seems like the bowed legs help him stand a little better. I wonder if this was an intentional design change? Maybe to better accomodate the armor? That may explain why the problem seems limited to Iron Man/War Machine mates?

I just wish the tampo for Black Widow's chest piece detail (get your mind outta the gutter) was a little easier to see.

On the hunt for the Borders mates! All of my local Borders show them as "in-transit", so hopefully this week or next.

A big thanks to whoever posted the item number for minimates at Borders!

Local store got them in today and with the number and some helpful employees they were able to find them buried in the backroom.

The case had 3 exclusive sets, 1 Hogan/Drone, 1 Pepper/Drone and 1 Mark V/War Machine.

Picked up one exclusive, Hogan and Pepper sets and was on my way.

The one I went to at lunch today had 4 exclusives, 1 Hogan/Drone, and 1 Mark V/War Machine. I would have liked to have gotten Pepper instead of the Mark V/War Machine, but at least they had the exclusive.

Can't say I like the face on the new Pepper. It looks really big when compared to the old one and I feel it brings it down in quality.

Do like the look of the new armours though, and the Army Builders are awesome (got my first batch last week :D).

Went to the Borders in Tigard OR they had one labelled "Borders Exclusive" the battle damaged Whiplpash then two with Potts and drone not labelled Exclusive. Does that mean they will be available in another wave? So confused as i am not a packaging variant just want one of each figure, oh the humanity!

Borders has 1 exclusive with battle damaged whiplash and Iron Man with sunglasses on. the rest that borders have been getting are the same that will be in the normal wave.

I went to my borders on my way home from work today and looked around for a minute and didn't find anything so I asked a dude at the CS desk and he said that the Salt Lake City area store called yesterday looking for them and he seemed to remember his manager saying that they were getting some so he called his manager and she walked up to me with one of the exclusive packs. So I asked where they were on the floor and she took me over to a random column in the middle of nowhere with shelves on it and they had one other pack on the bottom shelf. I was happy to get the exclusive set and yet a little disappointed that they didn't have all the rest of the wave like others have been reporting. Oh well, glad to have the set now. I bought the other set they had as well for a friend.

The guy at my Borders went hunting in the back and came out with six sets: four of the exclusive pack, one regular Mark IV/Whiplash, and one Pepper/Drone. I grabbed one of the exclusives and the Pepper/Drone set and moved on to Toys R Us, where I found nothing. I'm hoping to be able to hit another Borders or two sometime soon, 'cause it would be great to get the variant set without paying the big markup that comic shops always slap on those. So far I'm digging these, though the Mark IV chest is a bit bulky and keeps him from putting his arms all the way down.

And for anyone else who was breathlessly waiting for an answer on this, the first thing I did with my Mark IV was put his helmet on the old Mark III. It looks absolutely perfect and fixes the one huge flaw with what is otherwise a great Minimate. And Sunglasses Tony wasn't going to be wearing that helmet anyway, so everybody's happy.
