Is there a revised release date on this wave?  I see Luke and BBTS are still showing April.

Classic versions of Batroc, Whiplash, and/or Mockingbird would be the big wants for me out of what's been guessed so far.  Do they tie into any recent storylines?

Thanks DST and Luke for this wave!  I know some have been wanting it for a long time...

Has wave 11 been spotted anywhere other than NYC?  Not sure where the original report came from. eBay shows NYC, too.

Found wave 10 in Des Moines area, 2 out of 3 Walgreens I checked.  Looks like the same deal here with the case distribution, duplicates of some and others missing entirely.  Managed to get the entire wave from multiple stores at least.

Galactic Storm would be awesome! Just read it for the first time a few weeks ago.

Are new costumes considered a redo or new character? Vision, Goliath, Binary...

Ordered.  Congrats, Luke!

Hope to get a classic Madrox some day, too.

I'm hoping for some classic Avengers myself, especially if it's villain loaded like 77.  There's lots of classic villains that haven't been made, foremost being Whirlwind for me.

I've always convinced myself that we already have the Blackie Drago Vulture sans hair ......if you give the original a dark hairpiece it looks way more like Drago than it looks like Toomes  .Try it !    Minimates have (allegedly) no noses & ol' Adrian had a proper 'beak' in the comics so that may have a lot to do with it .

That's true!  And this new one may look even better.  But I need that hood... ?

Great wave!  Looking forward to Spider Slayer the most.  Not expecting it, but would love to see an alternate head for Blackie Drago Vulture.  Love that era...

That Mazinger Z is awesome!

If we get another Vulture, I'd like an alternate hooded head for Blackie Drago.  And yes, only because of the 1966 cartoon.

Saw a second set of wave 8 in Iowa today, so finally picked up the Wasp set.

If you like the Jakks 4" articulated World of Nintendo figs, my local Target in Iowa had one of the newer waves very cheap.  Don't remember the exact price but it was something around $3 each, got the whole wave for the price of one of them at BBTS.  Raccoon Mario, Metal Mario, Hammer Bro, Iggy Koopa.

Not sure if they got them mixed up with the 2" unarticulated figures or what.  They were in this central toy section with Minecraft and Pokemon toys, not clearance.  Hope this is helpful...

This is what I expected from Luke's Stature. They look great. I would only suggest that you then bind them to a foam core so you can attach a stand to the back and they can stand on their own.

I folded some tabs on the bottom of these so they actually stand pretty well.   If I had trimmed off all the white space though, they'd probably need some additional support.

I'm sure these don't really qualify as customs, but got in the mood to make some Giant Man and Goliath cutouts.  Took pics of my mates, cleaned up Giant Man, and printed as 4x6.  Probably as good as I'm ever gonna get...

Might try 3x5 too and see how that looks.

I've seen some of these start to show up in Des Moines recently.  One store had wave 8 last weekend.  Two stores had Infinity War wave 2 today.  Still means most stores are stuck on old waves.  

Never bought anything on shapeways, though I've been tempted.  These may finally break me...

Zach - How far along was TRU 27, and any future waves past that?

Hopefully we’re not really waiting until November on these.

beetle and jack booth still on toysrus.com Fun fact if you go in to a physical TRU they can order them for you and you don't have to pay shipping.

I kept waiting for Chameleon and looks like the rest are gone now.

Checked out the Going Out of Business sale today.  Advertised as 30% off with exclusions, but most of what we would normally look at was 10% off.  Action figures (including minimates) 10% off, saw TRU 24 on the Marvel side.  Construction toys including Lego either 10% off or not on sale at all.  Amiibo, etc was 20% off.  Video games either 10% off or nothing.  Items marked with a yellow dot were not on sale.

Not really worth the trip today, but may try it again in a couple weeks and see what it looks like...

• https://cases.primeclerk.com/toysrus/Home-DownloadPDF?id1=ODEzMTc4&id2=0

If you look at that PDF, it lists the stores and what type they are starting on page 72 (no idea what SBS is).  Thought they were closing both stores in Des Moines, but looks like one is the Babies R Us next door instead.

boyd, if you're still in this area it's hopefully good news...

Living Laser and Sons of the Serpent for me.  Not sure how that first list was compiled, but would have definitely voted for Whirlwind instead if he was on there.

Thanks!  That Loki is okay, main issue I have is the repainted movie helmet.  I'm usually not that picky, but I don't feel like we've got a definitive old-school comic Loki yet.

Just curious, but what's wrong with the Best Of Loki?

Great list, by the way.
