  1. Just saw the new in-package pics up on Facebook. I'll let Zach post the pics here if he wants. :thumbsup:

    Happy to see that Mr. Fantastic comes with a Ultimate Nullifier... WA-HOO!!!!

    I just saw that! Sooooo cool! :highfive2:

    Whats the ultimate nullifier?

  2. Stupid me.. I have seen the mummy two pack a few different times at various TRUs and thought, "I'll pick that up next time I'm here.." and now all 4 local stores are sold out. Stupid, stupid me. :(

    A friend gave me the Munster Koach for Christmas and I thought it would be fun to put Herman, Drac, Wolfy and Imhotep all in the koach together for a monster display.. ..I hate paying shipping but it looks like a must now.

    Damn you Imhotep!!

  3. I'm surprised these have not hit any of the 5 stores in my area before Christmas. Seems like distribution is a bit different on these so far. I am hoping they just got delayed due to other Christmas stuff clogging shelves. I'm glad my nephew is picking up a set for me in Florida before coming to visit for the holidays.. I just hate to pay shipping on something that I should be able to pick up a few miles from my office. :)

  4. Weird to see this out for a few weeks now and not hitting any local stores in Utah. Usually within a week of the first sighting I have been able to find it around here. Bsore bought one online and brought it into the office and I have to say that the photos don't quite do this set justice. I love the Phoenixkiller! I love ALL Iron Man armors.. even the silly ones.. and the Iron man minimate underneath is probably in my top 5 "no-add-ons mate". I have to get two just for the two versions of IM.

    Protector and Wanda look great and even though I'm not looking for more cyclops'.. he turned out pretty nice. I love all of the custom molds in this box set. It is a must buy... or 2 or 3. :)

  5. Bsore is the man. I've been watching him plan and build this thing for a while. The pictures look great but it looks even cooler in person. Now if we could all help him track down a Hulkbuster Iron Man, the display would have it's crown jewel. :)

    Well done Bsore.. it turned out fantastic!

  6. Anyone seen this out west yet? I'm in Salt Lake City. Usually when I see Multiversers in Phoenix or Las Vegas picking them up then I know I can officially start the search. I stopped in the Sugarhouse location today and no luck.

    On a side note: I ordered a couple TRU Ultimate FX lightsabers online and received 1 lightsaber and 1 $80 doll house. Cracker jack bunch over there in TRU Shipping. :) The doll house even had a label on it that said, "1 Anakin Blue FX Lightaber".

  7. I believe, in that poll, Songbird and Commander Rogers were the winners. I brought Winter Soldier up to Zach as well, and he said that he did surprisingly poorly in the poll. He also mentioned that Songbird not only was the winner, but the runaway winner. I really wouldn't have thought she'd have enough of a profile to score with the general Marvel audience, but maybe by that point it was more Minimate collectors voting. Who knows. Anyway, from the sounds of it, WS's poll numbers do not suggest he's a highly demanded character.:confused:

    WS did okay, but Songbird got over 1700 votes, while nobody else cleared 1500. Given the level of interest here in Falcon, WS and others in that poll, she may have been everybody's second choice, giving her the numbers advantage over the diversity of first choices.

    ....you had to mention FALCON.. <sigh>

    ;)

  8. Going to check Salt Lake City today.. I'll let ya'll know.

    *Found them in SLC! Love this whole set.. tons of extras! Rhino and U.SPidey are perfect. 2 helmets and a hairpiece for Vindicator.. just awesome!

  9. Awesome sets. The surprise for me in this set is the spiderman (I know, I know.. another spiderman?!) but it is brilliant. I don't know how to describe it other than saying the apps are all crisp and sharp.. it just looks good. My Odin's feet will not stay on for love or money (I've offered both). ..so I am seriously thinking about gluing them on. I do wish Gargoyle would have come as a figure that you could strip down to make the original GG but he is still cool.

    I can't help but look at the "serpant" and think of the Executioner from EMH.. if he were made into a minimate they could be twin brothers.

    So ya, this is yet another set that made me go read the books.. I know most read the books and then look for collectible toys.. but I have officially become the opposite of that through minimates. :)

  10. I'd love to be excited about a JL movie.. but I am mostly nervous. I don't think WB has the patience to build to a JL movie the way Marvel Studios did with Avengers.. and i think that will be a problem. We, the audience, were given the chance to care about Hulk, Iron Man, Cap and Thor on the big screen before Avengers so Avengers was able to hit the ground running.

    I've read rumors that there may be a nod to Wonder Woman in the Supes movie.. if JL is to work, this has to happen. Superman must be used to set the stage even if it is a credits bonus.

  11. There is definitely no Series 4, as we definitely don't have the Ultimate license.

    Street Fighter X Tekken is on the way, though!

    will that get a Wave 4? (and a Con Exclusive 4 pack to round out the cast?!)

    Let's see how Series 1 and 2 do!

    6 seasons and a movie!!

  12. Seeing as I had the camera out... Here's an update to my modest Iron Man display...

    post-7-0-63141500-1343685284_thumb.jpg

    and the 3 new minimates I need to put in the case...

    post-7-0-56817800-1343685257_thumb.jpg

    I'm putting off opening the case to add the new ones because it's a nightmare to get on without bumping the base and playing minimate dominos.

    T.

    Is that display case one from Luke's store?
