I would love to see Alpha Flight as the exclusive pack.

I still have not been able to find Hulkbuster Iron Man for under $30+. Seems like this was plentiful in some parts of the country and very scarce in others. I've paid $30+ for a chase figure in the past but shelling out $40 for a TRU exclusive is kinda bugging me.. Am I the only one on here that had trouble finding this guy?

I've traveled up and down the Pacific coastline over the past year and have never seen the Hulkbuster set at retail either.

I'll be at this years SDCC if anyone wants to Meetup there

Well, according to Chuck on Twitter, wave 9 has just left the warehouse. I'm hoping that he meant 10, but if he really meant 9 that'd explain a lot.

I hope he just mis-tweeted and meant wave 10 instead of 9, someone on eBay has the Nemesis/Holocaust and Morph set I'd get it if it wasn't extremely overpriced.

I got Shatterstar and Cannonball from eBay I'll say they were well worth the increased price, I just hope my TRU gets Magik this Thursday...

The army building (Hydra dominated) minimates for the Captain America movie are now listed on the Previews website. These include a Hydra Pilot, Hydra Infantry, Hydra Flame Thrower, Hydra Soldier 2 and Red Skull in a Hydra Uniform. No actual pictures as only the outlines of the minimates are presently shown.

Let the debate begin!!

nice find! Hope the flame thrower comes out great.

Our store seemed to get like one shipment in, and of course the Magik/Warlock and Cannonball/Shatterstar sets were already gone when I got to them... Basically how they seem to get ALL the minimates. One to two shipments of minimates in and then nothing to refill them.

Broke down and ebayed the sets from this exclusive wave since I have a feeling I'll not see a restocking.

If I did, though I probaly would get another Magik/Warlock set for the Douglock possibilty.

I want to eBay them, I don't mind the cost that much as Shatterstar is one of my favorite Marvel characters I just wanted to buy multiples of the Shatterstar and Magik/Warlock sets for the blast stand and a Cypher minimate. Shelling out $40 for two sets just is too much right now.

I keep waiting for them to hit, I know my store just got a truck so hopefully they were on it.

If anyone still needs one of these my TRU has four in stock still, and it doesn't look like they'll be moving anytime soon.

I finally picked up a set today and am quite happy I did the frozen cap is an amazing figure.

It's the new year now, and I'd be game to see this again.

Off the top of my head, and becuase I'm bored, I'm gonna throw out some suggestions from the Mutant World... because it's the Marvel Universe closest to my heart... These range from actual possibilities, to some very obscure choices that I just personally think would rock as an X-Men fan... Here we go...

Xtreme X-Men (Sage, Lifeguard, Slipstream, Thunderbird III, Xtreme Bishop, Xtreme Storm, Xtreme Rogue)

Brotherhood of Evil Mutants (or Freedom Force) (616 Blob, Pyro, Avalanche, Toad, Destiny, Updated Mystique)

Modern X-Factor (Strong Guy, M, Siryn, Longshot, Darwin, Rictor, Layla Miller, Shatterstar)

Classic X-Factor (Forge, 90s Multiple Man, 90s Strong Guy, 90s Havok, 90s Polaris, 90s Wolfsbane, 90s Mystique)

Generation X (Jubilee, M, Husk, Chamber, Skin, Banshee, White Queen)

New X-Men (Pixie, X-23, Rockslide, Surge, Prodigy, Hellion, Dust, Mercury, Anole, Elixir)

Morlocks (Marrow, Callisto, Masque, Leech, Artie, Caliban, A New Storm)

Modern Starjammers (Havok, Polaris, Marvel Girl, Korvus, Lilandra, Vulcan)

Classic Starjammers (Corsair, Ch'od, Hepzibah, Raza, Lilandra, D'ken, Deathbird)

Mojoworld (Mojo, Spiral, Longshot, Dazzler)

Deadpool Corps (Deadpool, Dogpool, Lady Deadpool, Kidpool, Headpool)

Agency X (Agent X, Modern Taskmaster, Outlaw, Weasel, Bob: Agent of HYDRA, Deadpool)

Second Coming (Hope, Cable, Bastion, Bishop, Cyclops, Nightcrawler)

And just as a joke...

X-Men no one likes, but I want for completions sake (Marrow, Maggott, Cecilia Reyes, Mimic, Changeling, Revanche, Joseph, Stacy X, Lifeguard, Slipstream)

I would buy that Mojoworld boxset in a heartbeat

3 of my favorite characters in one set.

Looks like I'm going the eBay route now.

got my sets today, & my warlock came with no hairpiece--does anyone know if the same hair was included with any other mate?

also, (maybe this has been mentioned before), but magiks chest seems more curvy than the other new mutant girls--just an observation.

I'm planning on using the extra Hank Pym hairpiece from the Avengers Boxset when I find this set.

Spotting in Northern Cali, Pleasant Hill TRU got these in yesterday.

This gives me hope that Elk Grove, Modesto or Stockton will get these this weekend.

Almost bought these on ebay today but just couldn't bring myself to spend the inflated bread.

that makes two of us i just could not bring myself to do it yet im just hoping as more come out the price will drop just a smidge more

at least three of us

I'm tempted to buy the Shatterstar pack almost everyday

Once again i'll be checking my TRU this Friday hopefully Wave 9 will be there.

Hopefully we do see Alpha Flight produced this year, that would be so awesome.

Well I finally found the "Brown" Wolverine and I mainly wanted him to round out the old school X-Men that I have and especially this team. Since I've been playing the old Konami arcade game On my PS3. I also got Magik and Warlock and I'm just gonna have to get an extra set of New Mutants to make that awesome Doug Ramsey that MsMarvel fan made.

Gosh your Dazzler minimate looks amazing! Hopefully DST decides to make her (in both costumes I might add) and Longshot soon

Just got back from mine...

1 day shy of 2 weeks after XMas and not a single restock.

I feel your pain its been forever since I've seen any new mates at the store.

Also yeah no anything today

bummer

Wow looks like they're finally hitting, hopefully my TRU has these today!

The rumor going around is that Polaris might become a Horseman of Apocalypse again, or that the X-Force team would somehow interact with the lost in space Starjammers (Polaris, Havok, and Rachel Summers) heres hoping that we see them soon.

SPOILERS

As for what happened to Rachel, Alex and Lorna: the three of them along with Corsair and the Starjammers tried stopping Vulcan and Deathbird from taking over the Shi'ar throne, they then helped the Inhumans and the Kree during the War of Kings event, fought Darkhawk after the murder of Lilandra, and after that they departed for Earth (which put them into Comics Limbo).

Still no luck at either of the two nearest TRU's and it looks that I have to wait until Friday for a new truck at either store.

Seeing a couple of the Shatterstar/Cannonball and Magik/Warlock sets on eBay is tempting but I don't want to shell out a ton of cash when I know i'll eventually see them on the pegs at my local star, ahhh I hate the waiting game.

Nimrod sure makes me want other much needed X-Men, like Longshot, green and white Rogue, Forge, Colossus in his all-red costume and even some of those pesky Marauders.

Or more classic ones... Banshee, Sunfire, Toad, Mastermind, Mesmero and Mimic.

And of course Dazzler needs to be made, the disco costume and the 80s Olivia Newton-John variant.

Please tell me I'm not the only one here who leaves the Minimates section of their local TRU more organized than when they found it?!?!

You aren't alone! I tend to do this at TRU with the more well known figures and any shortpacked TRU exclusives that haven't sold yet (Betsy Braddock has been there a while), and at Target I organize the Marvel Universe and DC Universe Classics figures in hopes that Target will eventually stock Thanos or the newest DC wave.

i also picked up the lizard so ill posy some pics of doctor conners in all his green scaley grossness

Can't wait to see all the scaly details!!!

I went hunting again today at two TRUs, still no luck, just the Fantastic Four wave taking up precious peg space.

They've hit eBay

http://cgi.ebay.com/Marvel-Minimates-TRU-M...00#ht_500wt_933

These should be readily available soon then, right?
