I *just* opened both of my boxsets & they are covered in a glittery substance. Both Red Skulls, a Magneto from one set, & Green Goblin from the other. Galactus appears to be immune. Did anyone else encounter this? I wish I had taken a picture before wiping them clean.
I liked all of Bendis' Avengers stuff including "Disassembled". Maybe it's because I'm a big Kevin Smith & Quentin Tarantino fan that I find Bendis' dialogue mimics their styles. I also really enjoy "Powers", but I must agree that he is overrated. Marvel has much better writers at their disposal yet Bendis seems to receive most of the acclaim.
I opened my sets this morning. Everything is good except both Flashback Spidey's have misaligned eyes & just terrible paint all around. Lots of sloppy paint apps. Also, one Max pack was missing the briefcase.
I'm really impressed w/the tampos on Goblin. For a character I did not like, his Minimate sure does look fantastic.
Also, what is the case pack-out? I saw 4 of everything except the Flashback Spider-Man/Max Dillon sets which only numbered 2.
I. I actually found these today. I NEVER find TRU Exclusives. Also, my $5 Rewards Bonus expired on the 15th, but the cashier still honored it. Double bonus!
1. Torment Spidey. McFarlane is my favorite Spider-Man artist. He's the reason I'm even a Spidey fan.
2. Series 2 Black costume. I've been collecting from day 1, but I can't tell you how many On Cue/Sam Goody/Suncoasts I went to before I finally found one.
3. Scarlet Spider-Man. I'm one of the few people on this planet you enjoyed the Clone Saga. I love this design.
4. Series 2 original.
5. Ben Reilly Spider-Man
I love this set! Definitely buying 3. I can't wait to use an extra Cletus head to make a regular inmate Cletus before the symbiote atttached itself to him.
