With none of these so far being the same I am getting more and more anxious I hope I get mine today or tomorrow!

Still impatiently waiting for mine was well.

I know that Dan got his and said you could PM him for a pic if you want. He sent me pics and it is GREAT! I know LE said that not everyone will get the same one so I am sure we will hear about others and I can't wait to get mine and see what I get!

BBTS has the sets up for pre-order already. Other than getting another Hulk I think these sets are great and of course any new minimates are welcome! I really like the Wolverine and the Villians set is great other than the already mentioned goofy look on Red Skull's face.

My TRU order shipped pretty quickly, although I had placed the order before finding out about the free shipping mentioned here . However the tracking number provided on the TRU website says, when you click on it, that the tracking number is incorrect. So I called TRU C/S and they said that this method actually isn't trackable but that I should receive the package by the 19th but if I hadn't received it by the 24th to call them back . . . . .oh gee thanks. I don't know why in the world you would provide a tracking number with a link to track it when it isn't a trackable shipping method. It was just the normal 6-10 days shipping so has anybody else who used this method had this same problem?

handsomedevil, what a great laugh I got from that. A Caprain Britain minimate would be awesome!

Yep no luck here at my TRU which is directly next door to where I work so I got there on my lunch break and it is very frustrating to not have these. Several of the TRU 40+ miles north of me got them but by the time I had time to drive that way I called and they were gone. I ordered some on the website though so I can't complain (other than having to pay for shipping).

Looks great, can't wait to see actual prototypes of these!

So AFX (as was mentioned by mav-man) has hostile takeover, wave 24 and ST wave 5 in stock. Anybody have any idea why wave 24 is showing up before wave 23? I also hope it doesn't take BBTS too long to get these in. It would be nice to get some more minimates around Christmas.

Its hard to understand why wave 24 could be out already at TRU but not ready for the regular release. I hate waiting but hey I will survive.

I was also a winner, can't wait to find out what it is.

That Spider-Man set was my first too and it became an immediate obsession.

Got mine on Thursday and it is so great to have some extras to display out of their suits. Thanks DST for an awesome prize!!! This is the first wave I have got two of as well as firt duplicate variant and it being my favorite wave I am quite excited about the whole thing!

Man I am going crazy here. I went in to my TRU today and saw the GM of the store and since I have talked GI Joes with him a couple of time I figured he might give me more help then the lazy CS girl. He pulled up the system and said they don't have any coming but he printed me out a stock paper for another store with the item # and description on it so I called that store who only had the Spiderman sets left (and they are 45 miles or so away from me anyway and I have a full set with variant on order already) It just amazes me that you have a product that is exclusive to TRU and yet some stores aren't getting the product? The manager showed me a list of other stores in his region and only about 1/4 of the stores had gotten any of these. He recommended to me to try elsewhere since it would be doubtful that his store would get these. AAAAHHHH! The guy seemed like he knew what he was talking about but what the frak! adding set to wants list

Thanks Limited Edition!

I got my tracking number from UPS and I should be getting mine on Thursday. I am just wondering, Vigilante, which set you got and if the minimate set includes the variant?

Every employee I have talked to over the last couple of days at TRU have told me there is no way for them to know when they will be getting these in. Anybody know hoe these other stores are finding out when they will be getting theirs in? It seems logical to me that they should be able to find out and so maybe the people at my location just don't want to take the time to find out for me.

Ugh! I just went to my TRU with the item # (thanks fo shizzle) and the number brought up the product but they don't have them in and the lady was very rude explaining in essence that they will get here when they get here and that it shouldn't be a big deal. Well lady you need a different job if you don't understand that toys are important to the people who keep you employed. Looks like I will be calling some other TRUs.

I sent Matt an e-mail on Monday and got a response same day, I got my shipping notice as well.

I am just wondering how much these are at TRU anyway?

Nothin at my TRU either. . . . .in my case that was ok because I would have had to stash them and go back later cause that line was monstrous and I had to be here at work. Hopefully it won't take forever for my store to get them though.

I am just wondering if this means that the release date for waves 23 and 24 have been moved up? I would rather get my whole wave with the variant online rather than getting all but the variant at TRU and then having to get the variant later on ebay or something ya know. I hope that this means they have moved up the release dates, weren't these waves originally scheduled for the end of november? Was there something somewhere that told us about the IM set? This came as a complete surprise to me and also made me a little mad at myself for not following my urge to go to TRU yesterday. Now I am going to be anxious all day thinking about getting these instead of just enjoying Thanksgiving. . . .nah I'll just eat and eat until I forget about this. . . .yeah nevermind that won't be possible. I love getting new minimates!

I have to say I am glad I work right next door to a TRU so I can go and hopefully pick these up before I have to be to work early tomorrow (I hate retail). That stealth Iron man is amazing. Hopefully the Tarantula variant will be available at TRU so that it can be picked up there rather than later on ebay or something.

Sadly no this set is not for sale yet all the info I have seen so far either says 4th quarter 2008 or just December.

First off I have to say AFX got this to me in record time. (especially since I still haven't received my prize for the wave 25 and 26 contest). The contest ended on friday and here we are monday and I have the set!!!!!! Second I didn't think I would be getting one in a box with everything with it (I guess I didn't fully understand what the production sample was I thought it would be just like what I saw in the display case at SDCC). But no complaints here! This set is awesome so here are some pics for everyone to enjoy. Hopefully this set will be out soon for everyone else. I love the new hands on Iron Man they are like flying hands. Raza's gun is pretty cool. All in all this is a great set. Sorry about the size of the pics I realize once you click the pic it takes a while to load it. If someone wants to be a pal an PM me and possibly explain how I can fix that issue it would be much appreciated.
