X-men First Class boxset!! Hopefully we'll see Moira and Banshee.

Does anyone know if pictures were shown at the panel?

To me the hair piece looks like the one from the new mutants box set. But I could be mistaken.

We need: Einstein and Clara.

It would be cool to see:

Jules

Verne

Griff

1985 (or alternate) Loraine

Plutonium Terrorist

Biff's lackeys

Einstein and Clara would be cool to see w/ a 1955/1885-time-parts Time Machine. Put Einstein in the TRU version w/ white wall wheels. Make Clara for the LCS version and give it sculpted train wheels.

Unless of course we get larger vehicles (the SWAT vehicle from years ago), then we should hopefully see the train.

As to SDCC, I'm just glad we won't be seeing any new promos this year.

Do we know what MAX figures they will be giving away? I was thinking there were 4 pirates and 4 MAX mates as give-aways this year.

Okay, Nessex. Where does one find those awesome images? There seem to be so many of them, it would be cool to peruse them all. And I really appreciate the style they are in.

Okay, after looking over other's suggestions, I have a few more:

Secret War outfits:

Captain America

Luke Cage

Daredevil

Wolverine

Phyla Vell (Captain Marvel)

Black Cat w/ removable Mask

And how about any of the mains who get "Hulked-Out" in the prelude to Worl War Hulks.

And would the Young Avengers count as variants?

Just downloaded this. I too cannot wait to give this a try.

I thought of a few more I would like to see:

Nate Grey

Cable w/ a Baby Hope accessory

Blue Hulk (from the end of the Hulk trades where the different hulks are like brothers)

Ultimate versions of Mary Jane and Gwen (or any update, really)

Green Goblin from the Spider-Girl series

Rescue (Pepper Potts)

Jim Rhodes as Iron Man (West Coast Avengers)

Marvel 1602

J2

I would like to see:

Fantastic Four Ultimate Universe

Frightful Four, ultimate Universe Zombies

King Pin (as an Africain-American)

Mystique (no clothes movie version)

Thor-Buster Iron Man

Also, any House of M designs, particularly Hulk and Iron Man

I like the design if the new packaging, but aren't the boxes a little... large? I know the current boxes have room around the mate for accessories and such, but this seems lime they could almost get four mates in the box. And still have room.

Just thinking about sustainable practices. Hopefully they will start using recyclable plastic (with symbols) like Mattel has started to do.

These still look awesome!

Could we possibly get a parts list for those beauties? I bought an extra set to try some of those, but haven't thought about where to start. Thanks in advance!

Well, NOW it's official: http://www.toysrus.com/shop/index.jsp?categoryId=11433485&camp=MISC:Vanity:PressRelease:TRU:comiccom2011:70111

Sorry, I cannot seem to access the link option on my mobile device.

Is that the actual weapon that comes with the Jackel Sniper? It looks more like a Mega Bloks or Brickarms weapon. I hope it is, it looks great!

Just got back from my TRU with a complete set. I cannot wait to open these!

I had a little difficulty though with trying to find packs that had decent paint apps. There seemed to be a lit of bleeding with the mates in the while case, especially with the actual Ghostbusters.

Personally I would like to see different materials in minimates.

Cloth capes would be really neat to acheive different poses. Also having bendable tentacles for Omega Red and Doc Ock (ala the Marvel Legends Omega Red or the arms of Parallax in the Green Lantern Movie Masters) would be awesome.

I was thinking about this line and, while I understand not doing this, I think it would have been much nicer to see a line plan like this:

LCS wave 1:

Pack A

Pack B - Player 2

Pack C - LCS Exclusive

Pack D - LCS Exclusive

TRU wave 1:

Pack A - Player 2

Pack B

Pack E - TRU Exclusive

Pack F - TRU Exclusive

With the con-exclusives/ 4-packs being Player 2 (or 3/4) versions of the LCS and TRU exclusives.

This would actually give incentive for people to buy 8 packs of minimates, instead of only buying 6 and leaving packs to peg-warm. Which, IMHO, only leads to increased prices and perception of lack of interest.

Any way, I am really excited for this line and cannot wait to see all the great mates we get!

How is it people get coupons like these? I have never gotten something this good. If I ever get one day coupons from TRU, they ate valid on diapers.

And I don't need those yet!

What about Predator X?

I managed to find a full case of these, Calico Jack and Sony today at my local TRU. Every pack has the TRU exclusive sticker and each was 3 per case. Glad to see there were no short packs of any of these. They look awesome in the package!

Managed to score these on a road trip Saturday in Rockford. Oddly, only one red skull pack was on the peg when I saw them. They look great, particularly Dum Dum. Cannot wait now for the LCS wave and singles now. And of course the movie.

After finding the Halo mates at my local TRU on Friday, u managed to find these and the Cap movie wave on a family road trip Saturday. I missed out on the online ordering, but am super happy to have found then in store. Plus, I had coupons that made them esentially a third off. All of mine look good, but I have not had a chance to open them yet.

I picked up my case a little while ago and my case ratio matches the original breakdown:

4 Frost Giant #2

3 Frost Giant #1

3 Asgaurdian Guard

1 Selvig

1 Laufey

Even if it is different from others, I am happy with it. The only way it would be better is with more Royal Guards.

Hey Luke,

Just wondering, now that the Thor Army Builders should be in your hands, what is the actual case ratio? My LCS called and despite not having them listed in their email, they have a case waiting for me today and I don't want to get screwed on the case ratio like I did with the Iron Man Army Builders. Thanks for the info, mate!

The weekly email I get from my LCS did not say anything about minimates for this week. I was hoping for at least the Thor builders from them. Most of that other stuff is coming from Luke.

So... Weren't these due out last month? I am really looking forward to these.
