Placed my order too. Yay!

I went to Walgreens in Concord, CA and found IW series 2 and picked it up for my son.

Not sure if this has been answered or not but when are these expected to be solicited?

Toyfare exclusive maybe Firestar being remade and one never made maybe Speedball. Just hoping these are the case being a New warriors fan. Speedball first appeared in an amazing spiderman annual so hed fit in a Spidey wave

Picked these up yesterday too. They look great.

Stopped by a couple of Walgreens yesterday and found 1 IW Wave 2 pack, the Hulkbuster set. It was the one my son really wanted so he was happy.

I'm the OCD collector who fixes that. We should all be duly deputized merchandisers for DST, dang it.

I do the same thing man. Haha

With the addition of comic-based 'mates, it looks like we're talking about a third peg. I don't know about others but my stores currently have two pegs; one for animated and another for movies. It's good for DST and the Minimates brand. It'll be even better if the stock actually gets to those store pegs.

I’ve noticed that too. Hopefully there are regular restocks soon. They were good at stocking when it first started carrying them.

THAT bothers me. Whenever one assortment leapfrogs another, that's when you have to resort to the secondary market. Dang.

I hear @MisterPL. There is enough peg space to place both sets. 

So far still so sign of Wave 8.

I found Wave 9 this morning at the Walgreens in Napa, CA. Just 1 set.

Maybe use Blue beetles goggles and trim the helmet off? 

Down in southern califronia went to two stores and nothing new.

Menagerie has the wave 2 Walgreens listed out of box. Says 5 more available which pisses me off that second hand sellers can find so many of what the majority of us can never get. 

Agreed. With the movie just having the home release this would be a great time to restock. My son keeps asking me if I’ve seen any since he loves the movie mates.

Not all my comic shops stock minimates anymore. With TRU gone, Walgreens was the last retail store that carried them, and since hardly any of the stores stock any new ones it’s kind of sucked. I’ve been actually looking at making some customs of some characters who haven’t been made yet. 

That’s awesome @Mnemosis. Love the Random.

My first customs. Fully painted (and amateurishly with enamel paints):

I only made one Jamie, the rest are just the same figure photographed in different positions, and composited together. Luke sculpted the barrel chest onto a 2.5" LotR body & put a 2" neck joint (and sculpted the hair twirl) for me.

My current QC versions (with DST Madrox, Pietro, and Longshot - albeit the latter has a different hairpiece):

Don’t sell yourself short @TENIME_art your first attempts at the 90s team look great.

Went to 4 Walgreens yesterday on the way home from work and nothing new.

That face and hair on the old Dagger were terrible 

@Heinous , after comparing pictures of the old Dagger and the new one. I agree with you regarding how much better the new version is, I guess I would just love new characters but considering the Cloak and Dagger show out probably the best time to release new versions.

Glad you were able to find Wave 8, Onyx_6.

I'm not reading a whole lot of Marvel books anymore, but Infinity Countdown Darkhawk totally hit my sweet spot.  From that series alone we could get... 

Darkhawk

Death's Head

and (ISSUE 4 Last page SPOILER!)...  

  Hide contents

SLEEPWALKER!

Feel free to build the rest of the wave around whatever other characters are in the crossover, but the three above would hit a good portion of my wants.  Viv Vision?  I'll take her!

It’s funny Jeff. I’ve been on this Darkhawk kick lately. I picked up the ML figure, picked up the Legacy issue, the IC miniseries, the 1st issue of the original series and the two issue War of Kong’s mini and I’ve been hankering for a minimate. He’s just moved up in my top 10 most wanted, next to the original New Warriors and the comic version of the GoTG.

Can’t wave for that wave. I was happy with my old Cloak and Dagger but these look great too. 

Awesome Darkhawk. It’s funny I’ve been picking up some Darkhawk comics lately and then I come to the board and see this fantastic custom. 

It’s pretty frustrating to go into Walgreens and not finding any new sets. My son loves Spidey and wants to get all the new sets for Wave 8 and 9. Still see the same Black Panther movie, Wave 1 IW Minimates.

It’s funny after they’ve done the 90’s era X-Men Team, X-Force, and Excalibur, I was surprised they never followed it up with a 90’s era X-Factor Team.
