I wouldn't hold your breath for an accessory pack, BUT I agree on the hoverboards. I would kill to see a Griff/Marty hoverboard chase scene 2-pack.

I believe it was Wolvie, but don't take my word for it!

NO PLANS TO GO LOWERCASE AT THIS TIME. ASK DST. I lol'd....still loling actually. I lol may currently lol be out-lolling lolLee Burnsy.......lol

Well, people have been asking for that Storm. And she IS an Avenger now. And she DOES come with Jill Valentine, the star of a mega-popular video game. And she might be the two-per-case in the assortment. (Confirmation, anyone?) So I'm not TOO surprised. But I hope you find one! Yes, Storm is the short pack. Unpacked it myself! At first I figured Skrully was going to be the short, but now after seeing how amazing Storm looks, it makes sense why her and Jilly are the lesser.

You sure your LCS isn't just scalping and doesn't want to admit it? Mine openly does it, some shops aren't very willing to admit to it.

You know, I just did a google search for Nick Fury Shirtless to find a good comic panel example to back up this statement. However, all that showed up was fairly hardcore gay pornography......I don't know what to think, but I don't like it.

I used to do that too, once upon a time. This was a record store that also had a comics section, and I basically worked on Wednesday, unloaded the new comics, and handled the monthly orders in exchange for comics, books, and the occasional cd. Good times. This is proving to be extremely helpful in my situation. I am building up more credit than I can spend. Also, since I got "access" to the back I found a huuuuuge hold box for a customer that obviously hasn't picked up his mates for over 2 years. Found so many goodies in that box, but apparently they basically have infinite hold times. So, I asked if they could give the dude a call to see if he plans on getting any of them. If not, then I just hit a gold mine.

I'm totally pumped to get this wave tomorrow. While waiting to start my job, I'm "working" for my LCS part time and getting paid in store credit. Since it's not really work, it's like I'm getting them for free! Yay!

Among other awesome added guests, Edward James Olmos just got announced for this! I am soooooo excited!

Didn't actually 'see' him die. He is not dead. Just on vacation.

I'm sorry, fail topic is fail. After reading through the re-do topic I was basically trying to put together a polled version of said thread but I think I caused a bit of confusion by calling it best of. Was just trying to create a mock most wanted re-do wave. Sorry.

Oh no worries, I'm just trying my best to not sound like an idiot in trying to explain something....having that problem a lot lately. Anyway, based off of what we saw in the last Best Of wave (i.e. minor tweaks and additions) let's base off of that mindset. I mean in the event if any of the earlier pieces were to be re-released, they would definitely be altered due to the new styling of the mates. So let's call this a "What the MMMV wants that technically already exist's Wave". So yeah, vote for the wave that has the mate you would most like to see redone, or make "another appearance" and then we'll go from there.

Thank you TM2, forgot to take off the Spiderman/X-men ones. Made this late. @DJ-This is really just for fun, but thought it would be interesting to see what would be a "Best Of" wave based off of the MMMV's popular vote. And you never know, maybe DST will get a wild hair and think they should make a fan's choice wave based off it's most popular forum.

So, I would like to put together some data in the event that DST ever releases another "Best Of" wave based off of fan's choice, they will be able to cross reference what we here think would make the best Best Of wave. Due to the limited number of poll space, the way I will do this is list every Marvel Wave/4 Pack/Exclusive. So, simply vote on a wave(set) based off of your favorite mates within the wave. From there I will take the Top 8 choices and re list the vote for each mate within the top 8 choices. Finally, I will list the mates from within the votes and see what we think deserves to be "re"released. Please use this link: http://www.minimatedatabase.com/line.php?i=6&n=Marvel+Minimates If you need help finding the mate you wish to vote for. I will switch to the next voting phase on March 15th. Also, if I missed anything please feel free to let me know. Oh, and movie mates were not listed for a reason.

Maybe you northerners. Me, as long as I've got me some leg belts, about 30 pouches on my regular belt, and a leather jacket to go over my spandex leotards, I'm good. Don't forget face spandex with wavey hair out the top......I hate Jim Lee...

If gang was a limited release I would search day and night for one, just to videotape flushing it down the toilet. I would hate to destroy any mini mate, but, well...I like to be an ass sometimes.

Well as long as you know it's not the right thing, and you know it's not a good thing....But these mates are killer. Proper tweaks to fix some annoyances as well as a good way to get your buddies collecting. Going to grab the Iron Man/Thing next week.

I absolutely love this new Goblin. And spidey with wings was a nice surprise.

I never said long-term collectors were unimportant. I said that getting new customers was important, whether they're casual buyers, budding long-term collectors or, I don't know, returning long-term collectors who sold off their collections and regretted it. (Not taking an official line, just speaking as a long-term fan and someone who covered failing and successful toy lines for 8 years.) Long-term collectors stop collecting all the time -- not due to retread fatigue, but due to the myriad of reasons that collectors stop collecting -- and we have to encourage new collectors to join, or the numbers would dwindle to the point that the line becomes infeasible. Obviously, we want long-term collectors to keep collecting, but nine years does not make Marvel Minimates an unstoppable juggernaut. I wish it did. We constantly struggle for recognition and validation. I think we make a LOT of new characters, at least as many as Marvel Universe does on a regular basis. This wave is 50% new, and three of the other four are generally anticipated re-dos. When was the last time Marvel Universe put out a wave that was all new? I'm thinking Wave 1. Heck, Marvel Legends wasn't all-new following wave 4 or 5, with the exception of Wave 13, which sounded good on paper but lingered at retail. Another thing to remember is that not all long-term collectors are completists, and if every wave was 100% new, it might actually be a financial hardship for some to keep up with. leading to even more attrition. Just my thoughts on line planning. Which I do not do. Also, I do not think we have a Spider-Woman planned all year. I just want to add, I started collecting mates due to the diversity in the characters as well as the price for two figures with ridiculous amount of accessories. I will ask for new mates, but I will NOT complain for the mates we are getting. Sorry to get involved. Zach, keep them coming.

Here Here.

Stopped by my LCS today. They received the Best Of wave (which all look great btw) but no Wave 43. So yeah BBTS must have either charged early or received them before everyone else.

Well, I do have an awesome photo op with this guy named Harrison...... :biggrin: Ah....the one that got away...

Now, Monkeycrumb, are you working with these guys? Or just meeting them around town? Legitimately curious. Meeting at parties and events. Statham is the only one I've ran into only randomly, and Schwarzenegger's been to my place of employment a few times, and I've met him at events. Although the last time I saw Arnold was completely random when I was at the Grove. One time at my work he signed the reverse of my coworker's badges, all of which smeared off by the next day :biggrin: . I've probably met about 90% of anyone currently working in TV / Movies. Man, and I thought I was cool for being in the 501st and hanging out with Star Wars celebs all the time. Sounds like a decent job you have there sir!

Would be great for Xorn if he ever happens. With cheeseburger accessory of course.

I did not get creative with this wave, sorry. Aside from Ant-Man II, they all get their standard codenames. I'll see if it's too late, but I'm pretty sure it is. I'll try to be more creative with Wave 47/14. I'm actually fairly pumped for this wave.
