Agreed. Somehow I can justify 21 dollars per set, getting two. But I would be having to be missing my EYE to pay $27 for one! Do I NEED two? Well, it IS an exclusive...

I wish there shipping charges ANYWHERE were still reasonable. I ordered my Zombie 2-pack (2 of them) from them (I missed the thread from the generous guys here) and had to pay more in shipping for four mini-mates than I had to pay for ANYTHING else I ordered from anyone else (and I have received much bigger and much, much heavier items. Oh well, they have the market cornered for their exclusives. Grrrrrrr Now to get over there and order my 2 packs of these before they are gone. :bye1:

WHAT! A Scarlet Spider? Any info as to when we will get to own him? As long as Cloneme has already asked to see him No matter what I cannot wait!

I agree with everything that everyone has said here. In terms of giving up the variant, I have a standing order for a complete set w/ variant at my LCS, so I get 4 packs anyway. I would be much happier with eight different characters rather than getting two copies of a character that wasn't that great to begin with (astonishing colossus, I am looking at you ). I like the idea of a variant, but I open all my mates, so the variant is just there to look different. I am still not sure what to do with my DOFP Wolvie... I could go either way on the large scale mates. Sure it would be cool to have a scaled Hulk or a scaled Juggernaught, but DC's Bane and Killer Croc are lacking in the bulkiness, IMO. Bane especially is to trim in the chest and shoulders. At least with the Marvel's more powerful characters we are getting "powerhouse" versions with big chests. I think that the next waves look so much better than the last waves. I am hoping that this is a sing of things to come. I was impressed at how many fan favorites are coming in the beggining of 2008. Lets just keep those release dates! Please :biggrin:

WOW! I cannot believe the luck! These are awesome. I was hoping that the next 4 waves would come out soon, I am interested in a FEW of the characters, but now I want them out so we can get to waves 19 and 20. OMG! These look sooooooo cool. I cannot wait! This is great!

The Wolverine wave: James Howlett (from origins) & "Dog" Logan Wolverine (Evolution cartoon) & Wolverine clone (pick any version - X-23 would be nice...) Weapon X (nude) & Weapon X (Team X) Variant: Weapon X (Age of Apocalypse) As you can see, there are many untapped Wolverine outfits to make. Oops, I probably should not have given DST this list. Although an Age of Apocalypse wave would be awesome.

I am sure, no matter what theme they come up with, we will see a Wolverine in at least one, if not both, of these waves. Waves 15-18 are devoid of him and that is waaaaaay too long without a Wolvie. At least for DST I think that we will at least get one baddie though. Each of 14-18 has one (at least) so hopefully that trend will continue *crosses fingers*

Nothing in south-central Wisconsin yet either I keep checking the DCPI code daily...

I do believe that these are do out before the end of the summer. We should be expecting 4 full waves and two box sets by then. Looks like we might need to start free-lancing photos to earn enough to feed the darkness.

I, too, have gotten the run-around from DST. I emailed them last Thursday. Got a reponse Friday saying 'tomorrow.' I got another response yesterday saying 'tomorrow.' I still have not gotten that coveted email saying 'shipped.' I just cannot wait ANY longer. And to top it off, I am going to be gone for Spring Break the end of this week, so I CAN'T get them until next week , assuming they have been sent out by then :tongue:
