Found this series at TRU today and had to pick up the Cortana set. Very Happy!

Such an awesome set. I really like this MC armor as well. I almost wish all the Spartans shared this look as a base.

Anyone who scored the TRU mates happen to have the item number to share? I am no longer seeing listings online and want to check in stores. Thanks in advance!

My LCS confirmed these for next week Wednesday! So excited

I went with Blue Ghost Rider & Captain America Wolf

Me too. Although, I do really want Hulk and Spidy too. And I have that Wolverine in both 5" and 12" scale, so, you know....

Aw, heck. I want them all.

EDIT: Stupid auto-complete

For me, with the cons, I always consider what it would have cost me to get there, stay there, and get in there; and then figure I can spend about that much on the exclusives. For the free stuff any way. I always weigh shipping on the purchasable items in too.

This usually works for me. Although it also makes me realize how committed I am to these.

So, Luke, did you trim out the Chitauri helmet? And what did you use to do that? Thanks for making these!

Maybe we will see astronaut Captain America or Old Captain America from House of M?

Maybe Wrecking Crew can be Luke's first exclusive?

Or Wrecking Crew minus one plus Thor. With a TRU chaser.

On topic:

I would be super excited for any of these themes:

West Coast Avengers

Agents of Atlas

Modern Gaursians of the Galaxy

Second Coming

Starjammers

1602

Noir

Savage Land

Brotherhood

Women of Marvel

"Hulked out heroes" from Hulk when everyone got bulked up like Hulk

Here's hoping!

At my store, street dates are hard coded into the register. If we try to sell something before its street date, the register flat out will NOT allow it. As a result of inattentive stockers, we've actually had to turn people down at the register before. "But you put it out on the floor"... we understand that, but there's LITERALLY no way to make the register sell an item before street date.

Obviously, it doesn't sound like that's the case at Disney. Congrats to everyone who got their sets already! I hope to join you come Monday!

Now that you mention it, I remember going on a toy hunt with a buddy of mine right around the time Transformers Animated were supposed to hit; we found an endcap at a store, and he happily walked up with, I dunno, Megatron, only to be told what you just said. He was not happy.

This has happened to me twice, both times were with Legos. Once was at Walmart before Star Wars Episode III came out; they had the Turbo Tank on the shelf a week before street date. They told me no, with no explanation.

The second time was with a Lego Star Wars promo at TRU; when they had a sale for 10% off SW Legos. At the check out, I protested when they said it was two weeks before they could sell it. The manager, whom is really nice to me whenever I am in there, filled out a hold slip for me, and put down the 10% off sale price. I was then able to pick up the promo for the discount, just a few weeks later.

My TRU employees are almost all friendly and helpfully.

Just throwing this out there:

TWO WAVE 50s - 50A & 50B

To, you know, actually be at wave 50.

RIP Ghost Rider

It would be a way to get these fan favorites out faster....

Double the mates. Double the fun!

Luke: My custom case order of last night is still good though, right?

Zach: My LCS in Madison, WI got two cases and Hill was one per care in each. As if you needed more data. Can you ask Chuck when/where we will be able toorder our Maria Hill/ First Appearance Angel sets? Maybe as a DST store exclusive? jk

I'm going to ask my LCS tonight when I get my Marvel 45s.

I will find out and report later tonight. Heading to my LCS soon. He will have a full set for me, but I want extra army builders for both sides!

What I would like to see, no holds barred, is a giant (2.5 & 3 inch minimate body) wave.

2.5" Hulk/ 2.5" Abomination

2.5" Red Hulk/ 3" Galactus

3" Goliath/ 3" Sentinel

Variant: 3" Giant Man/ 3" Sentinel

Realistically, I would like to see these characters as a wave:

Daisy Johnson/ Stepford Cuckoo

Variant: Victoria Hand/ Stepford Cuckoo

Jarvis/ Stan Lee (I have been asking for him for ages)

Robbie Robertson/ Franklin Richards w/ HERBIE

That should give almost everyone a little something.

Sorry, shouldn't have been so specific. Buy a lot of Maria Hill/Army sets....

You? Or me?

And does this mean that you are suggesting having a Hill Harem for Fury and Barton?

Is there still time to put an army dump case together?

Maybe have Banner, 3 male SHIELD agents, 3 LCS alien troops, 2 BD aliens, 2 BD SHIELD agents and the mystery Big bad?

I would buy 2 cases for sure!

EDIT: I had to make it clear what I was talking about

Thanks for the link to the clock. Now, if only my iPod would display flash.

And I can't see the video

While the Lego sets do not give anything away, the board game that first leaked images of pink Skrulls does in fact say Skrulls on the box. Not that the game follows the movie....

Only 1 week left for the countdown and still no sneak peak or leak. This secret is well kept.

What is the link for the clock again?

I had seen that TRU had the exclusives in stock after getting home from work today and figured I would drive out to see if I could get the free shipping by ordering in store. As luck would have it, I found a full case on the wave 1 pegs. So, when I checked out, I pointed this out and got them for $7.49 each.

I also picked up the deleted scene wave of Star Wars Vintage figures at buy 1 get one 50% off. Good day to hit TRU!

I was thinking this exact same set. Make it happen DST

.

We need an updated 616 Black Widow, so how about Black Widow 'Through the Ages':

Made my day! That is so awesome. DST should try to tackle this for their next DeLorean 1/18 scale release.

Beautiful. :

Here's a sortable MU checklist, with a separate visual guide by year. Actually very well done. Rivals the Database in terms of sortability. But I don't have time to count.

http://www.itsalltru.../?page_id=10987

Roughly 26 names on the MU list that are not currently (or currently announced) minimates. I will let you crunch the hard numbers Miry

I will say I just went with names, not costume variants. I consider Winter Soldier and commander Rogers unique in my count and included the MU 12 incehers as valid since we have mates of:

Galactus

Goliath

Frost Giant

Sentinel

I love minimates. I am a completist with them. MU is a way to get characters that are (were) not out as MM. I only get one version (or I try) of each character I AM INTERESTED IN in MU form.

Minimates are definitely the best and I would probably stop other scales if we got more unique characters sooner. But I do not intend to stop:)

Nice.
