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.

Yes, eventually. I had ordered a full set of the Sentinel/ Rachel Summers wave and it just came into stock mid January of this year. So yes, BBTS comes through, it may just take a while.

You made sure to check the tray that he came in, correct? I had thought the same thing about my Thing, but then I found the glasses taped underneath the tray. Easily missed down there.

I really like the look of these. My only complaint is the continued use of those Angel wings. I think it is about time for some new ones. Perhaps some with the wings spread out/ extended in flight. That would make this an essential box set as opposed to a cool one, IMO.

I feel take it or leave it with the Capcom figures. But if we get updated Storm, She-Hulk, and X-23 out of this, I am happy. Oh, and M.O.D.O.K!!!!

Seconded!

I want Star Wars, but I just don't think it realistic. If we got Star Wars minimates, I would drop Hasbro like a hot potato.

I was thinking for the 4-pack you would have: "Iconic Scene" Bond Girl Main Villian Support character (M, Money Penny, Q, secondary Bond girl, etc.) "Themed" James Bond (Swim suit, scuba gear, ski outfit, Havana hat, etc.) The TRU wave would then have: Main Villian/Theme JB (New) x4 Main Villian/Theme JB (Classic) x4 Secondary Villian OR Bond Girl/"Traditional" James Bond (New) x2 Secondary Character/ "Traditional" James Bond(Classic) x2 You would have to make it through many box sets to get all of Bond's supporting characters, especially if each different actor (M, Money Penny, Felix, etc.) got a mate. It could be huge!

Woot! Woot! I was half expecting these to be cancelled.

I cast my vote above for Jimmy B. My reasoning is that MGM has given the go-ahead for a new movie, despite it's problems. They are undoubtedly going to want to market the brand, the name brand, heavily while they still can. With over 20 movies to choose from, DST could do a 4-pack for each one, with a TRU exclusive; similar to the Universal monsters. Possibly release 2 movies at a time, starting wig the new one and Dr. No. Maybe that is just wishful thinking.

Has anyone here stopped to think that maybe the "HUGE surprise" may not be a new liscense at all? What if the huge surprise is that Target is going to start carrying minimates again? Or that international TRU stores will start carrying exclusive Marvel Minimates, that are of cousre NOT the same as the ones offered in the states Just saying, maybe it's not a new liscense.

I picked up the Pelican on clearance at Walmart ($40) and it works okay w/ minimates. Minimates will fit in the Mega Bloks seats, so long as the do not have their leg armor on. Which isn't a huge deal, since you wouldn't normally be seeing the legs anyway.

So AA has packaging pics of the Thor display up on the blog and is it just me, or are there two Selvigs in the front row? Error or change in assortment?

Looks great! QUOTE (Donny B @ Jan 28 2011, 10:57 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> BS, I absolutely love how you tweaked this Spidey mate Me too. But, how exactly did you tweak him? Did you glue the pegs on to his sides? If so, what type of glue did you use? I bought an extra and want to try making him look... right.

Checked my TRU today, again, and had them rub the numbers. Nothing on the manifest for tomorrow and they are down to one truck a week What am I supposed to spend my rewards on now....

No. Sadly we have yet to get Clara, Jennifer and Einstein. They are the three remaining essential characters to get. More four packs and/or two packs would be very welcome.

Maybe because GB is an 80's property? Edit: stupid auto-spell check.

I concur. Although I do not think I have seen JJ in anything, Rose is great in every aspect. And a big reason I am so looking forward to this movie. She better get a mate out of this! And why don't we throw in Zoe Kravitz to round out the hair colors

I like this idea. Sadly, I think they would end up pulling the whole thing off with tampos; and spidey's web design would show through. Personally, I would rather see Marvel 1602. Or Noir. Both would give us actual versions of characters and we could buy extras for your outlined purpose.

That at least makes a little more sense. I was wondering if there was a whole Banshee storyline I had missed where he flew too close to the sun or something. And my thoughts on female Angel: Angel = Wurthigton Angel Emma = Jean Havoc = Cyclops Beast = Beast Darwin?* = Bobby The first class. In the X-movie universe. *I think I remember that Darwin was supposed to be in this movie too.

Anyone else think that Banshee looks more like what Sinestro should look like in Green Lantern?
