Looks like they updated their pre-order page to note that this will begin shipping this coming week. 11/30

Picked up all the sets this week at TRU in Olympia, WA. Very cool, shame about only getting part of a blank minimate with the police sets and the additional arms/blank chest tampo mix-up.

Shipping was only $8 for me, so I went ahead and pre-ordered one set. I see that I was charged immediately despite it being a pre-order, not a practice I'm fond of.

My interest in this set is to use the Deadpool to change a few things I don't like about the First Appearance Deadpool from SDCC. That and I never managed to pick up the wave 28 Wolverine. As long as it's not outrageously overpriced.

How exactly will these be distributed? A quick google search for both toy brigade and xtreme toys comes up with nada.

My daughter had been counting down the last month to the series' debut. So far I'm impressed by how it's being done.

From a grand re-opening of a Disney Store in San Fran yesterday. Lots of Marvel Select figures(which is a welcome surprise), but no minimates just yet.

Nicely done Luke, I've been toying with the idea of doing something similar since my daughter likes to critique all the new 'mates that I get.

Still quite excited to get Juggernaut and Nightcrawler, even with the photo discrepancies. My daughter will love Meggan, and Capn Britain looks decent enough.

No worries, just wanted to make sure you were fully aware of the back story on it. And most importantly, I wanted to make sure I didn't have an unhappy buyer.

Glad to hear you're going to keep it.

I am that seller and they're new straight from the factory backdoor to me in a large lot of minimates. Likely defects as someone said. No scam no lies, I never claimed it's a wave 2 spider only that it was a symbiote spider-man.

I look forward to hearing if you decide to return it.

Warm water always works for me. Just be careful not to distort the mask while it's warm and pliable.

The alternate mask/helmet on the WW2 version totally fixes my only complaint with this set. Looking forward to getting them.

If we could get a 90s Colossus, both the X-Men and Excalibur teams of the 90s would be complete and all that would be left to finish is X-Force (which has Shatterstar and Cannonball coming to add to that) and X-Factor (which we haven't had anyone made yet from)

Now that we've seen that a proper Juggernaut, a redone Colossus is high on my must list. As is Strong Guy

I definitely keep to buying only selected MU figures because of the price

I do too, only one of every character and every version of Iron Man.

I was that way with MU and CARS for some time, now minimates are my only "have to have them" line.

For everything else I only buy figures now that my kids show interest in.

Ratchet & Clank minimates is just pure awesomeness. Little Big Planet would also be spectacular to see.

Damn, I am going to need a lot more toy money very soon. Can't wait to pick all the new stuff up. And despite dropping $20 to get Deadpool a few months ago, I'd still gladly pick him up again in that box set.

Found the complete set in Tigard, OR last night. Well worth the wait, especially since I hadn't been able to pick up any of the older FF4 sets since I started collecting.

Looking forward to seeing if the new flight stand still makes an appearance in this set. I'm sure I'll be picking this up regardless.

So, am I the only one who's expecting the modern Heroic Age set that was shown to still be released (probably at TRU)?

That's my interpretation of it too.

And I suspect this set will have the typical Disney Store higher price until a seasonal sale comes along.

Excellent, I've been hoping for news on this set. I hope this means we'll be seeing it on the pegs at TRU in the next few weeks.

A little off that WWII Cap looks like he's wearing a football helmet, other than that I'm liking them all. Especially the lack of those awful gauntlets.

I'm way more pumped about these than the SDCC sets. Can't wait for them to be available at Lukes.

Dude.just.wow, those are so much more than I was expecting. Great pics and reviews, thanks!

Nada in SW Washington still, I'm getting impatient hearing about sightings everywhere else. :biggrin:

Damn, I'm in the "need extra sets" boat on this one too. That blast effect does look really out of place, or maybe it's just burn out from it being used so much. A red remold of the one shown with Thor from the Heroic Age set would have worked.
