Nebraska

I finally viewed the movie yesterday morning annnnnnnnnd it is terrible. It is a shame that Marvel's animated outings are not up to par with those from DC/Warner Bros.

My set arrived yesterday. Nice bunch of Minimates & I'm super impressed w/the turnaround on shipping. I wish all "mail-aways" were this quick.

I always expect everyone to love every figure we make, but I like that one man's trash is another man's treasure.

With the exception of Ultimate Electro, this may be one of my favorite TRU waves. Each pack is pretty solid as as quality & character choice.

Electro.. wow. Not that familiar with Ultimate Electro but looks like modern comic/ Ultimate Spiderman cartoon version. He's just awesome, so well done the way he was executed. Really a standout figure in my opinion.

To clarify, the Ultimate Electro is not a bad mate. It just happens to be a character I do not care for. Hence it's my least favorite in the group.

The sets I ordered arrived earlier this week. One of the two Superior Spider-Man sets I ordered came w/a wonky face tampo which is ok since I planned on displaying the second w/Peter's head. Like everyone else has mentioned, Mecha Hulk is a real surprise. I did not expect to like it as much as a do. Kudos to DST for you ingenuity. As a fan of Matt Fraction's run on Invincible Iron Man, Rescue is by far my favorite of the group, followed by Superior Spider-Man. With the exception of Ultimate Electro, this may be one of my favorite TRU waves. Each pack is pretty solid as as quality & character choice.

YES!!!

The fan in me really likes all these alternate looks we've been getting lately, but my wallet sure doesn't. Because now I have to buy two....

Tell me about it. I've been buying 2 of every wave & boxset for the past year or so. I couldn't think of a better company to give my money to though.

Can I have a "Crusade Wave"?

This is my X-Factor. I need like 10 of that particular Multiple Man.

Hit 2 TRU's today. Both had about 2 cases worth of The Wolverine & remnants of wave 16. On the trip home tonight, I was able to snag a couple of sets online & take advantage of free shipping. I just hope my Spidey's aren't too messed up.

I have a set of 4 available for cost + shipping if anyone is still in need.

I received my set on Friday from TRU.com & I, too, was shorted Harada. A quick email & the missing pack is on it's way.

My TRU order shipped today. Fingers crossed.

Xavier will be back just in time for the premiere of DoFP.

Slayback will NEVER be made, but I would buy 2 if the opportunity presented itself.

Am i thinking of the right guy?

YEP! I LOVED that card as a kid. I had several copies of it.

A day after I order these online, I found 3 full sets between 2 stores. I left everything for other collectors, but they have hit the Midwest.

AWESOME! Thank you very much. Given that TRU is 2 hours away, I truly appreciate it when the board is notified that items have popped up on the website.

Slayback will NEVER be made, but I would buy 2 if the opportunity presented itself.

I saw quite a few sets about a month ago. I'm planning a big toy run this weekend so I will grab all the sets I come across & post them in the trade forum.

If 2099 happens, I NEED Hulk 2099 to be included.

I bet we see 2 Caps. 1 in in his Commander Steve uniform, the other in his new Captain America uniform.

I'd buy a Clone themed wave. Cable, Stryfe, Spider-Man, Ben Reilly Scarlet Spider, Jackal, Scarlet Spider (Kaine) & I'd be super duper happy.

Packaged pics are up.

I think were still aiming for 10/30, but we'll see.

Nebraska, you know we're discussing new zombie product, right? Heroes are off the table, because Marvel has a lot riding on them nowadays, but villains are okay.

Sorry, what I meant to ask was about zombie heroes, but you just answered my query. Too bad I'll never see Sue.

You know, back in MY day, Minimates only had one look and we had to make them ourselves out of driftwood and baby teeth. Since then kids have gotten spoiled!

Never before have I wanted a "Like" button on this forum so bad.

Zach,

If I recall correctly, Marvel nixed further development of Zombies merchandise because folks found the source so disturbing. Is this still the case? I would love to see a few more Marvel Zombie 2-packs or boxsets trickle out from time to time.

Since Ghost Rider is joining the team, i bet we'll see a red venom/ghost rider 2pack next year, right? RIGHT?!

That would be pretty awesome!

I would support this as well.
