Well, 0 of 2 so far.  The Erie TRU was completely out of any Wave 23/24 mates.  The next closest TRU was completely stocked on the Wolverine wave 23 mates, so the Scarlet Spider set is going to be a no-go there, which likely means finding these in stores is not going to happen.  Arrgh!  I love the option of getting new mates, but these exclusives that you can never find is getting a bit annoying, especially when one is of my favorite character. 

Happy Birthday!

Yes!  I'll definitely be looking for the updated Scarlet Spider (and may require assistance doing so).  Hoping I can find it fairly easily!

Perhaps these groovy spider hench-men? Spiderlings, they might be called? 
I have no idea who they are, and I'm sure they have zero ties to Man-Spider of Beetle stories, but they look kinda cool.

Spider-Minions!  I've been waiting for someone to finally put this into an action figure form.  Would love to see them as army builders.

Well... crap, probably ought to spoiler this just in case...

  Reveal hidden contents

Kaine lost the Scarlet Spider ID entirely when Ben turned up not dead anymore. After being returned to normal from being transformed into the newest Tarantula, I really don't know what his current status is. Which works hard against him being made. 

Hence that's voting with my heart, not my head.

 Superior Octopus appeared in TASM #25, which was released in March, so dunno how early DST could've gotten the info. But like I said, I'd love it if that was the case. The costume looks cool, SUPERIOR!Ock is enjoyable, and it's much better than other Alt-Spideys with minimal differences.

 

 

I completely agree.  I love this costume and with the role Superior Spidey played in Spider-Verse, this would be a great addition to the line. 

It looks like I'm in the minority here,  but I will likely need some help tracking down the Spider-Girl/Carnage Hulk set. 

Iron Spider Hulk Buster as the new Peter Parker?  Would love to see a Blood Spider as well.

Happy Birthday!

Does this version of Scarlet Spider count as "unmade"?  I can't keep the clone $#*& straight anymore.  Is this Ben Reilly or Kaine?

It's "Ben Reilly", but only in the Marvel way of using the characters name, completely changing their entire personality and making the character unlikable in the process.  The costume could have worked without the stupid "smile", but they are trying to make "Ben" into a cheap Deadpool/Spidey imitation.  Additionally, they're destroying the character development that's been done on Kaine over the past 5 years or so.  

If we were looking for other Spider characters to make, I would hope to get an animated Steel Spider, Blood-Spider or Spider-Army character first or Spidercide, Spider-Minions and Superior Venom. 

I'll definitely be looking for Scarlet Spider and the Scuba Spidey sets.  Here's hoping that I can actually find these in stores. 

Congrats to the winners and thanks to PK13 for putting these contests on.

Looking forward to getting a proper MCU Spider-Man mate!

My favorite character and probably my favorite Spider-Man costume - Ben Reilly Wave 10. 

Hail Ivan!

I'd share but I like my job. 

Very nice!  I'm looking forward to seeing some more images surrounding the new show.  Also looking forward to the NYCC promo being released. 

Since we're talking about the new series, Zach - does the license for the animated line include all animated properties, including future shows, or only those that were on the air at the time the license started?

I just got word that licensees will have until September 2017 to use Ultimate Spider-Man. If there are any figures DST's missing, now's the time to come up with one least wish list, I suppose.

If we're looking at September 2017, I would guess that we could possibly have 2 potential animated waves with Ultimate Spider-Man left.  Going by the 4 Spidey characters per wave trend, I would love to see the following:

- Blood Spider
- Wolf Spider
- Steel Spider
- Spider Soldier (black and red soldier design by Norman Osborn)

I wouldn't mind seeing White Tiger, MJ Spider-Woman and Spider-Ham as well.

These animated and if so, which wave? 

Finally!  It's hard to believe it's taken this long to get a Kaine Scarlet Spider (yes, I'm aware they call him "Ben" in the cartoon)....

Please add me to the Silk list as well.

For anyone buying a case, please keep me in mind for Space Venom (x2), Spider-Gwen (x2) and X-23.  Thanks!

Unfortunately the smiling face for my Hulk was applied upside down. I want to contact DST customer service, but they have been having problems getting me mass effect replacement parts mailed to me. Everything else about these waves are great. Although my Spider-Man 2099 had paint rubbed off on the right knee joint

How long ago was this, Additup? We've changed CS reps since then, so resend. Not sure what ME parts we have, but I may have something.

Sorry for the thread derail, but this right here. My ME parts were mailed (that's what I was told) about a month ago and I still haven't received them.

I'll see if anything came back to us, but I don't think so. Send CS a follow-up. Not Kelsey.

This started back in June and I've had contact with Kelsey every couple of weeks since then. The last time something was mailed to me was August 25th. When you say send CS a follow up, do you mean the contact us page on DST's website?

If you can, respond to the last e-Mail that was sent, but add Customerservice@diamondselecttoys.com -- that way we'll have a history.

Zach, thank you for being a member of this community and for always responding to the other members with hints and additional info like the above. It's fantastic to see someone dedicated to making sure their customers are taken care of, regardless of the issue seen. I wish more companies would follow your excellent example.

An "Irate JJJ" would be a fun variant for another classic Spidey wave.

- Spider-Man (new alternate parts like Web hands)

- Kraven (redo with spear, sculpted vest)

- Mary Jane (alternate Betty Brant pieces, reuse Mia Wallace hair)

- Chameleon (alternate Irate JJJ & Tombstone parts ala Legends)

- Beetle

- Molten Man

- Puma

- Vermin

Would love to see an Ultimate Beetle and an animated Steel Spider.

Count me among those looking for help. I'm interested in 1 Spidey/Electro set (or just Spidey with the extra head) and 1-2 2099/Venom sets.

Thanks!

Thanks to everyone that showed interest, this league is now full!

Release dates mean nothing apparently

I was rather surprised that I checked to Walgreens on Friday and neither had done anything. Not only had no mates been put out (both stores showed as "in stock") but neither had put out any new Star Wars merchandise. Considering the massive success that was Force Friday, it seems like many stores may have missed out.

I've checked multiple Walgreens and had no luck, which stinks as I don't live close to one. Looking for the Spidey sets and hoping I don't miss out. Not sure why Walgreens picked these up as exclusives and then refuse to actually make the items available for sale.

Anyone else concerned about the quantities each Walgreens is receiving? Only getting one complete set per store is going to make these extremely difficult to find.

Well, it's almost time for yet another NFL season and another year of fantasy sports. For years, I've run a semi-keeper league (1 player per year, 2 for champ), but we've stumbled upon some tough times and I'm looking for 3-4 new "managers". If anyone has any interest, please send me a message or post below. Thanks!
