  1. I stopped at a store that the locator said had them in stock, nothing on the shelves but the employees were helpful. They looked the items up and the computer said they had 8 (I don't know if that's counting the sets or individual figures) they looked in the back since the truck had just come in that morning but didn't find them where new toys are usually stored. They said they didn't check all of the totes because there's 150 of them.

    Same thing happened to me, but they offered to have stock check overnight. Got a call this morning, they found them and held them till I got out of work. I got everything but Cap and Hulk (Wanted it, didn't have enough for all of them since I get paid tomorrow, so I figure I'll just hope it's there tomorrow)

  2. So - Squirrel Girl (seriously one of my favorites) and Man Thing will most likely not be in the same two pack. Will be working on who they are paired up with relatively soon! Darkhawk obviously was a popular choice, so it's for sure on my short-list for future waves!

    Darkhawk would make my collection. He was always one of my favorites.

  3. Wasn't this wave due towards like august anyways?

    I've gotten conflicting info, that it was July (From BBTS, my LCS, and a few other places) but yeah, I think Luke has it for August. But still, the Axis set is nowhere to be found (and retailers originaly had it for June) so it could be a delay on DST's end in general, or they're ensuring they produce more after the wave 60 stuff. I don't know, could be anything, really.

  4. Is anyone else worried that we are getting the SDCC 2015 minimates before the Wave 63 ones? I thought we would have them by now.

    Kind of surprised they haven't hit yet, honestly. But the Axis set hasn't either, right? Not sure what's going on... especially in the wake of how Wave 60 went.

  5. I keep hoping we'll get a new split-face Peter in this suit of clothes that he always featured prominently in during Ditko's original run:

    It seems like that would be really easy to do, though. Just a little bit of knife work to connect two heads, really. I'd personally rather see this head as a pack in to a new Peter Parker Minimate, personally. But that's just my opinion.

  6. Classic Avengers - An updated "Horn" mask Iron Man, since the old one from the Iron Man box set is outdated. A new Wasp, since it's hard to get the old one.
    90s Avengers -
    Modern Avengers - New Ronin would be cool, Modern Wasp would be my biggest want though. And an updated Ms. Marvel
    NOW Avengers - We're basically getting what I would want, since Axis has Falcon Cap, we're getting Captain Marvel, and I have to assume a Kamala Ms. Marvel is coming.
    Classic X-Men - Classic Shadowcat
    90s X-Men - Think I'm good here
    Modern X-Men - Updated of 2000s era X-men (Black and yellow coat costumes, those Minimates are ancient now)
    NOW X-Men - Domino, Modern Rogue, Modern Rachel Grey.
    Spider-Man - Classic Mary Jane Watson (First appearance), Modern Mary Jane Watson, Classic Peter Parker, Modern Peter Parker, Miguel O'Hara, Silk, First Costume Silk, Spider-UK, Spider-Girl (Anya Corazon), a new Mayday Spider-Girl that's actually red and blue, Ultimate Black Widow (Jessica Drew), Bullet Points Spider-Man, Assassin Spider-Man, Scarlet Spider (Kaine)... I could go on forever.
    Mystic Marvel - Eh
    Cosmic Marvel - Modern GOTG, Guardians 3000
    Inhumans - Literally everyone
    Marvel Knights - Eh, I think we're pretty good here.
    Miscellaneous - Red costume Fantastic Four.

  7. If there is a box set I'm hoping for Wanda's second costume, Falcon, MK 45, and Ultron's final form (Hopefully on a larger buck).

    But my expectation is Nick Fury with minor changes, Helen Cho, MK 45, and "Birth" Vision. This seems pretty logical, at least to me, though possibly not a high seller.

    I'd also like to see an updated Maria Hill, in her casual outfit. But I can't see that being a big seller.

  8. You can check out the pictures of those figures at MMDB, it's pretty easy to see.

    Oh, I get it, I'm just pointing out I literally haven't had that problem, and am missing maybe three Spideys to have all of them. So as "wide spread" as the issue is, clearly it's not a 100% every single one case. Now, messed up webbing, I have, but the webbing through the eyes I might have on one (My cyborg Spidey, and it's barely noticeable.)

  9. I'd give up some of the extras if Spidey just came with all the necessary tampos, and maybe eyes that you can't see the webbing through.

    Is that a common thing? I have literally never had that happen with any of my Spideys, new or old.

    Well, there are at least Cyborg Spider-Man, both Superior figures, both ASM2 figures with white eyes, and the Best Of Series 3 figure that have the problem. And don't get me started on eyes and webbing actually lining up.

    Then clearly I'm the outlier. I own every Spidey minimate (other than a few older ones that there are better versions out there of) and literally haven't had that happen.
  10. Didn't know where to ask this, but at this point, is my safest bet for a poor mans deadpool the avengers deadpool set?

    Can anyone fill me in if you are able to cobble a decent deadpool out of that set?

    You can make a decent one out of that set. I'm kicking myself for passing on the Thunderbolts set, so I made one out of the MvC3 one.

  11. I just had a horrible thought. Does anyone else think "Thunderbolt" Ross is back because they're seeing Red....?

    It's honestly the first assumption I made. In a movie where Hulk isn't around, following a movie where Hulk caused tons of havoc while mind controlled, and on the eve of a registration act. Yeah, it's just pants on head stupid enough to have Ross go "we don't need any Avengers, because we have THIS." and turn himself into Red Hulk. I'm just hoping that's not the case (Or it's a lead in to an after credit scene at least, not a big part of the film).

  12. I'd give up some of the extras if Spidey just came with all the necessary tampos, and maybe eyes that you can't see the webbing through.

    Is that a common thing? I have literally never had that happen with any of my Spideys, new or old.

  13. We're getting spoiled.

    Back in my day Spider-Man came with a strand of plastic webbing and we liked it. No stands, no alternate heads, just webbing.

    This.

    Let's not forget how many ones like that are ridiculously expensive now, too. I mean, Scarlet Spider and Spider Carnage being 20 a pop and coming with basically nothing is somewhat of a crime when the best of Wave 3 Spidey has an alt Pete head, a web line, a stand, and the Spider-Sense effect.

  14. Sooo Spider Gwen is all we get from the spiderverse???

    We're getting an animated 2099, so technically something we really needed an update of and is from Spider-Verse. I'm still holding out hopes for Noir, Scarlet Spider (Kaine), and Silk. If Silk's ongoing continues she's probably the one who'll get the next one after Gwen though.

  15. Thanks guys. I mostly collect the mcu Minimates, but I'm considering jumping into the xmen ones. I feel like a kid in a candy shop on these forums.

    Oh, we all start somewhere. I promised I'd only collect Spider-Man ones... 500 or so mates later, trust me. We all slip eventually, haha.
