The pegs were full of these at my local TRU today. There were 3 of the Vigilante Spidey/Capt. Stacy pack, but none of the Gwen/Connors pack. Kind of a bummer... I tried to get them to look in the back, just in case the rest of the figures weren't put out because the pegs were full, but they didn't have any more in the back. the computer said there should be 12 packs, and there were only 10 on the pegs. Oh well, maybe I will luck out at the other location later this week. Chances are good I won't open this pack until I have the regular series in hand anyways.

I thought I found them today, but it was just the Spiderman movie figures clogging the pegs. I've got 1 more Toys R us in town to try, maybe tomorrow.

I noticed both sets were in-stock again at DS.com, so I ordered the pair. My wife had been trying to get her sister-in-law that lives in Ohio to stop by her local Disney store to hunt for them for me, since there aren't any more stores in Michigan. I'm glad it turned out not to be necessary. I'm really looking forward to getting my hands on these sets, which is strange because when series 44 was revealed, I rolled my eyes at most of the figures.

I stopped over to my parents house today and picked up my order from Lukes, Thor/Cap, Ironman/Hulk, and Maria Hill/Chitauri soldier. My local TRU pretty much sold through the Avengers mates, I'm glad I picked up the exclusives when I did.

Man, I'm really bummed that there aren't any Disney stores near me. I hope these do show up online, or it's off to ebay for me.

I've been pretty bored with the Halo mates of late, but I have to say these look really great. I wish the whole line had been of this quality. There were just too many boring Spartan repaints and color inconsistencies for my liking. 3 differnet color blues, only 1 red Spartan, and not even the right color red for team slayer. I had hoped to see some red vs blue 4-packs with some team flaggs or other weapons. Even red amd blue Spartan 2-packs would have been great. The line wasn't all bad though, I love the Warthogs and the Halo 3 Marine is one of my all time favorite Minimates, and I'm really looking forward to picking up the TRU ODST.

I'd like to see

AOA X-man/ AOA Iceman

90's Havok/Polaris

X-force Vanisher/Domino

Modern Luke Cage/ Winter Soldier

I think I have met my Captain America, Thor and Iron man limits. The thought of buying another of any of these characters makes me want to vomit. Having said that, the Iron man does look pretty cool. I know I will have to buy those box sets for the new villians, so I will most likely skip this wave as well. Now wave 47, that I can get excited about.

I haven't bought series 43-45 yet, but I did pick up the 2 exclusive packs at TRU today. I knew I would regret passing on them if I left them on the pegs. They look really cool, I can't believe they made Hawkeye and Black Widow exclusives.

One of my Local TRU stores finally got this wave in. I had just about given up finding these at retail. I nabbed the 2 exclusive sets.

I got tired of not finding this set here in Michigan, so I picked it up from Luke's store while I was placing an order for some other things I was missing.

I stopped by Toys R us tonight looking for the pirate boat. It was gone, but the did have wave 11. I only picked up FantomX/ Mr. Negative. I Just don't know about the Bets/nightcrawler set. I never read any X-men comics while she was in that outfit, so I don't really feel a need to own it.

I finally picked up the last 2-pack I needed from Toys R us, the Blue Spartan/ Blue Elite set. I ordered the series 3 4-pack and arctic Warthog from Amazon as well. I'm all caught up for now.

Now we're talking! this is just what the line needed to breathe some new life into it. I was getting tired of all the olive/blue/white spartan repaints. This looks like a great box set. Now if only we could get some ODST troops, some grunts, and a bigger variety of marines and brutes, I'd be a happy camper.

By the time I read here that the new series had been instock, they were mostly sold out. I did manage to order the Carter/Kat set though. I got a shipping notice yesterday. Carter/Kat really looks like the best pack in the wave, but the others look pretty cool too. Those brutes should have Spikers, not hammers, and I hope they manage to match the blue color of the Spartans from now on.

Rocket hog is back instock at TRU.com. Series 3 stuff still sold out.

Thanks for the pics! I'm looking forward to adding some red spartans to my collection. I hope they have better luck matching the red colors than they had with the blue ones. The different color blues look terrible.

I found these tonight as well. I thought I would have no interest in these figures, but the good buzz about the movie made me think I might regret passing them up.

I stumbled on these at TRU tonight, I don't know how I managed to never hear about these. I was caught totally by surprize. They are fantastic! best mates I've picked up in a while. I really hope they expand on this series.

I ordered a set as well the other day. I should get them today. I've had enough of the Active camo figures already. A slightly different blue elite was just lazy. I don't mind more spartans, but I'd like to see some more interesting colors and armors. Minimates seem like a great format for a red vs blue capture the flag set. The Reach figures have great details, and the marine is one of my favorite minimates of all time, yet this line does seem a little boring. I am really looking forward to the two new Warthogs though. I really wish they would make enough red and blue spartans to fill them.

The quality of the Halo Mega Bloks have really improved. My original Warthog, banshee, and scorpion all had parts that I had to glued together. The recent stuff had been great.

The active camo ODST is a Spartan. in Halo 3 multiplayer there are many different sets of armors you can customize your character with. Mark V, Mark VI, ODST, Rogue, CQB, Scout, Security, Hyabusa, EVA, Recon, and E.O.D. All armors have different helmets, but some of them do not have unique chest pieces or shoulders. The ODST, Rogue, Mark V, and Mark VI, which is the armor Master chief wears in Halo 3, all share the same shoulder and chest armor.

I scored a full set this morning on my way to work. I picked up an extra Marine/active camo pack as well. I stopped by my local comic shop to see if they would have the Warthogs next week, but they didn't order them. I'm hoping to have the extra funds next paycheck to order one online.

If I had known there was a battle beast exclusive at C2E2, I would have gone. My wife really wanted to go but I couldn't justify the 3 hour trip and spending $60.00 for us to get in for 2 exclusive iron man sets.

I just ordered a set as well. I will hit up my local TRU on Wednesday just in case. I also picked up another of the dark avengers set. Why? I don't know. Every time I order something from TRU's website, I find it in the store first.
