    I just got my Infinity War boxset in the mail.  My son and I excitedly sat down to open it up and finish off wave 1.  We were both disappointed when Winter Soldier's leg stayed in the packaging when the rest came out.  Thanos was missing the upper right-hand slip cover.  Basic QC issues can be a real bummer.

    Yeah, my Winter Soldier’s leg broke off as well when I got my box set. Fortunately, I had a spare Civil War Winter Soldier lying around, so I took the legs and replaced the broken ones. He looks 10x better than the box set one if you ask me.

    Quality issues with Infinity War Box Set?

    So, I mentioned last week that my Winter Soldier from the Infinity War box set had one of its legs completely snapped off and I decided to take photos of the damage.

    So this is a photo of the Winter Soldier Minimates that I wanted to compare. From left to right you have Civil War Winter Soldier Minimate, the IW box set Winter Solder Minimate with the broken leg, and finally I have another Infinity War Winter Soldier that I bought off of Minimates Menagerie (I was not happy about it but I am a completionist)

    This is a photo of the leg where the ball joint that broke off, while the other photo shows the ball joint stuck inside the leg. I can’t imagine how it broke inside the packaging.

    And I took the legs from another Civil War Winter Soldier Minimate and had another gun holster around so I made what I think is a better Infinity War Winter Soldier Minimate. There’s more leg detail in legs than the IW Winter Soldier had, so I am satisfied with what turned out.

    But I am extremely disappointed with the quality problems Minimates has had recently and I want to believe that the quality will get better, but I won’t hold my breath.

    Sadly, one of the legs on my Bucky was completely broken when I opened up the box set. I am at work right now, but I will show photos later tomorrow.

    And then there is a missing handgun for Black Widow. She comes with two holders but one handgun. Anyone else notice this? 

    I always assumed that the holsters on the Black Widow figure were for her individual shock batons.

    My Diamond rep called me, and the TRU Infinity War wave is finished, but TRU won't be distributing it because of their bankruptcy. So the wave is being offered to specialty stores. He expects us to receive this series on April 11th and we have it up for preorder here. 

    Great, thank you Luke I just preordered Rocket & Groot from you.

    So with the possibility of no second wave TRU exclusive that leaves 10 slots. 

    Boxset

    Cap

    Black Panther

    Corvus Glaive (Excusive)

    Vision (Exclusive)

     

    Walgreens

    Cap & Black Panther

    War Machine & Scarlett Witch

    Ebony Maw & Wong (Excusive)

    Falcon & Gamora (Exclusive)

     

    Hulkbuster & Cull Obsidian as the snubbed TRU exclusive.

     

    I feel like they would have split up the three remaining Black Order members so each outlet got an exclusive member. 

     

     

     

     

    Honestly, I wouldn't mind seeing a convention box set with all the missing TRU exclusives that we probably won't get.

    So, does anyone think we’ll be getting an armored Thanos minimate? Because I honestly think that this Thanos is the best Thanos we could get.

    Seriously, if we had the Thanos in the original box set, couldn’t DTS  give him two extra golden arm covers and an another body cover with large armor edges on them?

    I honestly think we could have the Wankanda Battle Thanos figure there and save another space for another figure.

    He’s more reliable than TRU’s own website. 

    That’s something the owner of Menegrie would say! /s

    No but seriously, I have been eyeing their eBay page about 3x a day to make sure I get one.

    Dang it looks like Groot and Rocket will be tough to come by with all the TRU stores closing.

    Yeah, I can't imagine what the scalper prices will be like on eBay for Groot and Rocket.

    Looking at the package shot of the boxset, anybody think Black Widows face looks off? It looks generic compared to past figures.

    Definitely looks off. If I were going to replace the head, I would replace it with either the Black Widow head from the AoU line

    Or the one from TWS line

    Thor didn't get his new hammer????   :\

    Shame, I am disappointed that Thor didn’t get his Stormbreaker. Hopefully, we get a Rocket and Adolescent Groot minimates set with a Stormbreaker hammer.

    I hope that the Thor minimates comes with Stormbreaker, what a waste that would be. With the exception of Doctor Strange, because he looks like nothing has changed from the movie release, everything else looks great.

    There are ten characters on the poster! Granted, we're only making eight of them, but some have key variants.

    Loki variants aside, I can't imagine who you would cut from Ragnarok. Everyone is key. 

    Judging by your comment Zach, I am going to venture a guess that Angela Basset’s character and Everett Ross will not be getting a Minimate this wave.
