Heating it up worked like a charm. Thank you gentlemen.

I am wondering if any of you have a trick for safely removing "Stretch Punch" Mr. Fantastic's head from his long neck. I am now on my second figure as in trying to remove it the first time it ripped the neck joint clean off the neck. Any help would be appreciated.

Well should we change the title of this thread to "some bad news for tru Canada"?

To say this is frustrating is a huge understatement.

Any update pickle on the TRU Canada minimate invasion?

I would like to know this as well. The most recent Minimates we have are the Spider-man Friends and Foes set. I certainly hope F&F is not what they are basing the popularity of the line on.

You could always write a letter to DST voicing your concern.

I'm liking the previews at this event much more than the ones shown at the SDCC.

Has anyone found these in any of the Canadian Toys R Us' yet?

The new X-Force series isn't out yet is it? Doesn't it start in October?

There is nothing I hate about it really. It would be cool if Fantomex was in it instead of Wolverine. I really like the Archangel figure. The other three are kind of "meh." I already have the best Deadpool so I won't be getting this one.

I enjoyed the "Maybe she's not a sitter?" line. I enjoyed the reviews. It's nice to see reviews from someone who is just entering into collecting... he isn't so jaded.

Ha! Who dared to bet against Wolverine?

The funniest thing about Minimate Deadpool street price is that it cost more than Marvel Legends Deadpool.

Good thing there is a new Marvel Legends Deadpool coming out soon... ish.

I can't really comment on the accessibility of Toys R Us mates yet as I am Canadian and the only ones we have received thus far I haven't really been interested in but I was in to check if they had the Iron Man 2 mates and it seemed like they had one of every type in stock. The Spider-Man friends and foes set lasted for a few weeks. Not sure if that was lack of interest in minimates in my area, or just because of the quality of the set itself. Time will tell with the Fantastic Four wave I suppose.

I really like how the entire wave is dedicated around one marvel super group this time around. I was kind of looking forward to getting the bulked out wave 37 Thing, but I suppose I'll be just as happy with this one.

I find it so odd that Halo is the game changer as opposed to Marvel. Are video game figures really such a hot commodity?

They do look fun,so I went on ebay and someone selling an collectionof issues 1 -37.

I think they also have them collected in trades as well, however they went out of print many many moons ago.

That's from an issue of Spidey Super Stories.

Correct. You all should do yourselves a favour and find as many Spidey Super Stories books as you can. Every page is filled with stuff like the one I posted. It's gold!

So - the Uncanny X-Force set will only be 4 figures? What's the bet we lose one of the 'new' figures for the Wolverine re-tread?

I think from previous four packs we can assume that (Arch)Angel will be left out. :biggrin:

That was a great update Storm. Your questions were really well stated.

we already have a john walker USAgent...

We already have most of those Captain Americas too. Why is it so bad to want an update from the flawed original?

I think these pictures have made me a little more excited for series 37, and a lot less excited for everything else.

I'm a little upset that U.S. Agent didn't make it as well. They could have marketed him as John Walker and gave him the optional claw hand.

On second look-through I really like the modern X-Force set. It is kind of a shame that we won't get a regular Fantomex before this variant, but I understand that his being part of this team is probably the only reason why we are getting him to begin with.

I think you have a good point, since most of these missing shoulder pads etc are from TRU right?

I bought mine from a lcbs and noticed that only 1 of 3 Iron Man/Stilt Man sets had both shoulder pads. The other two had zero and one respectively.

If this is how it's going to be then just take down your customer service email. Nothing is better than letting people think that you might someday get help even though it's never going to come.

This is a thread worth stickying at the top in my humble opinion. It would be nice if someone from DST took notice of it.

I finally got my replacement Stilt-Man and Neo Classic Ironman and they are quite sweet. I can kind of see why so many of these shoulder pieces are missing as they aren't really solidly attached to the figure in any meaningful way. It would have been nice if the shoulders were a closed circle piece like Wolverine's in wave 28. Oh well, just happy to have Stilt Man back in the fold.

Here's my Spidey rouges.

Spidey-sense... tingling?
