  1. Anyone for "Atlas Through the Ages" ? - Power Man, Smuggler, Goliath, Atlas.

    Loving the Zemos, and I'm really only disappointed about Madrox not making it. Really, really, really want a classic Madrox. Did he at least perform well in the poll?

    I would buy that in a heartbeat, I love Atlas' 90s costume.

  2. Not trying to hijack this thread, but how do you know where different sets will be available for purchase? For example, the new Marvel v Capcon sets, the X-Men Outback sets, the Alpha Flight sets. How do you know what will be available for purchase where? Is it strictly TRU or Comic Shops and for the Comic Shops, it depends on what store pre-ordered what, and just luck of the draw, where you walk into a store and they are carrying Alpha Flight?

    All of those sets are going to be in comic shops, SDCC for Alpha Flight, NYCC for Alpha Flight 2, check Luke's Toy Store and DST's website for release dates.

  3. I admit to not even knowing what the Warwolves are, which is my shame, I know. But I suppose you are right on people who would buy a limited number. I don't much army build myself either. I have Six SHIELD Agents, which is second only to my 11 OMACs, so I'm not an authority on army building. I just can't get over Songbird.

    Check out the original Excalibur Special and early issues of the series: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Excalibur-Special-Edition-1987-1st-Excalibur-Captain-Britain-Nightcrawler-FN-VF-/140795824893?pt=US_Comic_Books&hash=item20c815cafd

    Alan Davis is my favorite all-time artist, and it's a real joy reading that stuff.

    With Longshot in an upcoming Marvel Universe wave and Minimates Wave 47 I hope we get a Dazzler figure soon.

    I know we're getting a Dazzler Mate in Wave 47, paired up with Longshot, I was talking about Marvel Universe since Marvel Universe and Minimates are so in synch lately.

  4. From OAFE.net about Fan's Choice polls, not saying it applies to this poll or DST, just something to think about.

    "But you want to know a secret? Those polls are all a big scam. It takes up to two years to get a figure from zero to store shelves, so fan votes are basically just PR: the vote decides who gets the sticker, not who gets made. Think about the Star Wars ones: every time a winner is announced, Hasbro comes out and says "oh, but look, we already had your #2 and #3 choices in production, so you'll get those, too!" Really? Hasbro happened to have the fans' second- and third-choice figures in the works, but not the one they wanted most? Yeah, that seems likely."

  5. If they are like the last two SDCC exclusive minifigs you'll have to wait in a line and try to win the raffle. NYCC is supposedly easier to win them.

    All these last minute reveals are killing me, Oni Press just unveiled the Scott Pilgrim colored edition Ultimate collectors pack for $100, the Agent 88 minimate looks to be an invite only exclusive, and all the Vorins will be hard to get.
