Not yet. I found them in Orland Park last week. They had everything but kurt and besty. I found them at the TRU on 79th and Cicero in Bridgeview. They had plenty of them.

They're purposely not making him just to piss us off. You do know that right?

Just a heads up for anyone trying to order this set from the San Diego Disney store, as of yesterday, they are currently sold out.

We need a squirrel girl minimate already dammit.

I suppose it's a little of both, buyers remorse and having to have a complete collection including things that I don't like. I just get a certain personal satisfaction of having a complete collection. I've collected other toy lines before which have come and gone, and it's nice to have all of them and know that it's complete. Knowing there's nothing left to buy, no exclusives, no battle damage variants, etc. It's a good feeling. Yes I am going to buy these minimates, despite the fact I hate them, because I don't see any other way around it. If that sounds crazy, it probably is. Collecting minimates or anything else for that matter is an addiction and I definitely have a problem. After all the money I spent on these, I think I should complain at least once in a while. I can't be expected to love all of them can I? Just expressing my opinion, that's all. I'm not trying to win anything, and I could give a s#it about internet respect. As you can see I've been a member of this board for years, but have barely posted. I was merely stating a fact that this is the way I collect minimates. I only say something when I think it's worth saying and I think my opinion is just as valid as anyone elses. Don't get me wrong though, I love minimates. Out of all the different toy lines I've bought over the years, they are by far my favorite. In general, DST puts out more good mates than bad ones. I just really... don't like repaints. I'll take a thousand different variations on spider-man, but repaints just aren't my cup of tea.

I'm usually happy with new minimates, don't get me wrong, but repaints are just the laziest product for a toy company to produce. As a completist collector the one thing I hate the most is after buying something and looking at it and thinking, "I don't even want this." Maybe i'm just further expressing my disdain for the poor execution of the "alternate costumes" in the actual MVC3 game.

More garbage to add on the pile of unwanted minimates. A great opportunity to make dozens of more characters, and they make f@*%ing repaints. As a collector who buys and owns every single marvel mate there is, this is a very disappointing turn.

I voted for Terrax. He's a bad SOB.

I ordered them yesterday from TRU.com and got them today....Huh

Hulkbuster Iron Man is by far my favorite. Something about that one just really stands out. I have three of them.

Hopefully never.

I'm hoping it'll end with 37.

If only this were true. Then I could stop buying these horrible little things...

Every single goddamn one...

I picked up the Molecule Man/Spider Woman and Angel/Warpath sets on my lunch break. I was lucky enough to pick up a second set of the Molecule Man/Spider Woman set, and an extra Wolverine Origins BD Wolverine/Gambit as well. Is anyone willing to trade either of these sets for a WW2 Wolverine/Final Battle Deadpool?

Someone on this board was nice enough to trade me for one. Thanks for keeping me in mind though.

There are FYE's in Chicago?! Where? Yeah, no kidding... After I hit the comic books store to get the Spider-Man Moviemates (and I got the variants! Woohoo!) I went hunting for these two... There's one at Woodfield Mall in Schaumburg, that's the only one I know about. I checked it today at about 11 am, and they had zombie packs, the 24 exclusive, lots of misc Star Trek, DC & Battlestar Galactica, but nada as far as Hobgoblin and Scarlet Spider. Of course... Smackman said he's in Chicago, and he also said he cleaned out at least two malls of every one they had... and being that woodfield is the biggest, most well-known mall in the Semi-Chicagoland area... maybe he's to blame for my misfortune. *Glares Menacingly* Woodfield is a little too far for me. I went to the FYE in Chicago Ridge mall and the one just a block away from it on 95th and Ridgeland. Also, thanks to you guys I only need one more minimate to complete my collection. If anyone has the X3 Jean Grey variant to trade, I have a fresh brand spankin new hobgoblin/scarlet spider 2 pack for trade.

If anyone still wants to trade I only need the X-3 Jean Grey variant and the Avengers 2 dvd Cap. BTW I live in Chicago and they had 4 packs in both FYE's (which aren't even a mile apart from one another) I might check another FYE which is about 3 miles from my house tomorrow and see if they have any.

I bought each and every single one off the shelf from 2 different fye's. If anyone needs one, I'm willing to trade. Here's what I still need: Avengers 2 DVD Captain America X3- Jean Grey Variant Blue Suit Professor X If anyone's interested send me a pm.

Was it really on ebay a week ago? I look on there every day, but I still haven't seen it.

Is this really that rare that it hasn't shown up on ebay for the last 4 months?? I've seen just about everything else listed except for this.

ah, so that's one more then. Thanks:D

The Ultimate Avengers Cap has a different facial expression. I almost forgot, in the riot spider-man/spider-woman target set, is the spider woman a different repaint? I heard this one was different as well...

Okay, so that clears things up a bit. Thanks a lot for the replies. I also should have mentioned I only collect the marvel and DC mates. oops... I saw a pic of the Ultimate Avengers Iron Man. That's too subtle a difference to be considered a variant to me. I suppose the only ones I need are the blue suit professor x and Ultimate Avengers Cap then. Thanks again!!

I'm trying to complete my minimate collection and I'm only a few short. I just recently found out that there is a blue tinted iceman variant. I know about the variation of Cap included with the avengers 2 dvd and the blue suit professor x target exclusive. Are there any other repaints/variations besides these 3??? I'm not talking simple differences like darker paint applications, but actual varaitions that make the figure legitimately different.
