Every time I call to see if my store has them I get told they don't and that they've been discontinued because they are on clearance. Trying to track these down and locate them has been a big pain.

I've gotten that same response. My worst experience was the customer service rep who told me that the SKU number was wrong.

Me: (Give her a SKU number.)

Her: That's not right.

Me: ? (pause) this is the SKU number. Do you want me to read it again?

Her: Our numbers are only six numbers long.

Me: Um, are you sure? Can you ask someone else?

Her: I know my store. Are you online?

Me: ? What?

Her: One moment...

Me: (on hold for five minutes) Eventually I hang up.

Has anyone been by today? I know the coupon is expired, but are the sets still on clearance prices? Wave 18 never turned up in my region.

They have a second branch not too far away from me. I can swing by next week and see if they have more.

I'll admit, I laughed when I read "formerly considered for a big screen film!" as a credential for Deathlok.

I don't know, Deathlok seems like it would be a fairly easy movie to pull off as a stand-alone story. He's kind of just a black RoboCop, only instead of a cop, he's an assassin/killing machine.

I've been frustrated and unable to find Wave 18 or the TRU Tomb Raider sets in Massachusetts.

Today, however, I was happy to find select minimates on sale at my LCS for $4.99 each.

"Force Field" Invisible Woman/Moloid

Baron Zemo I/Nova Corps Centurion

Cyborg Spiderman/Marvel's Songbird

Battle Damaged Lara Croft/Armored Scavenger

Lara Croft/Scavenger Scout

Maybe my TRU will have Wave 18 on clearance tonight. Fingers crossed.

Anyone got a sku?

I tried two stores in Massachusetts, no luck on Wave 18 but found some good bargains so not a total loss. One store said they will get their next shipment of toys in tomorrow. So fingers crossed the sale is still in effect when I go back (and that Wave 18 hits).

has anyone tried requesting a copy of the dvd from their local library? I'm 1 for 2 so far.

where are people getting this coupon from?

Wasn't there a story previously that when he lost his healing power he was very sick because the metal covering his bones prevented his body from producing sufficient blood?

p.s. Why does Wolverine need a gun?

Because he still can't shoot those claws?

Don't give Marvel any ideas!!

I was excited for this wave a lot more until I found out there would be no new villains. I really don't understand it, the Brotherhood has been such a huge part of the X-Men in all forms of media, and yet we have gotten next to no members of the actual group. Puzzling.

I'm still optimistic that the villains will be good. We don't necessarily know what Zach meant by "NEW." Does that mean the only villains we will get have already appeared as minimates? Or does it mean no relatively new villians in the comics universe (opening the possibility to old villains who have never been made as minimates such as the Brotherhood)? Is it even a coy reference to the All-New X-Men, meaning we are getting a villain from one of the fifteen other X-Men comics out there? Besides I would love an updated Deathstrike or something like that.

Sigh. It's "current."

But we have a classic box set in the works.

Storm obviously.

So,... minimates, right?

Curious that the LCS sets feature Cap and robot Red Skull and bad guy Winter Soldier and the Falcon as two separate sets but TRU features one single set of the Cap and Falcon figures paired together. Has this happened before?

He should come with Death's Head.

Ask DST!

Its up on Amazon too.

put a black wash on new one.

Please post a photo.

Is there an agreement on where things like the Translucent Cap Shield or the Puppet Master's Puppet, or the Ultimate Nulifier stand in terms of weapon versus non-weapon accessories?

By the spotlight, I meant the company's spotlight, with guest appearances in other titles, merchandise and ad campaigns, not just having a book.

Guest Appearances

This one is significant because it's a media tie in with a popular kid's TV series, the Electric Company.

I'm not going to list all the guest appearances, it would fill the page. According to comic vine, Hellcat appears in 866 issues.

In 1972, Marvel made a push to cash in on the feminist movement with several female led titles. "The Cat" was front and center in that promotion. That's pretty significant.

I guarantee there are other ads, but I'm not going to waste time looking for them.

So again, when you say:

Hellcat [has] never really been in the spotlight in any way

and using your criteria for "spotlight", you are just plain wrong.

Not to back track too much I feel like a retro Girl Power box set could be niche and novelty enough to work. I know that figures for female characters can be harder to sell but I think it could sell. Iwould buy probably three sets two as presents one for myself.

Very happy camper here! Got my present last night. Some great things, including some Universal Monster Mates, some Halo Mates, some candy canes, a Van Helsing DVD/Blu Ray and my favorite: a copy of the Minimate Theatre Holiday Spectacular.

I've been tempted to buy Halo mates in the store, but always resisted. I have to say, these really look great.

The Minimate Theatre comic book is wonderful to read in hard copy format. Been a big fan of the thread, but reading it in hand really shows off the quality and imagination that goes into setting these up. Plus, it was a heart warming story about a boy trying to connect with his father on Christmas with an equally heart warming story about the various Deadpools wanting to peep on the female Deadpool as she showered.

I am guessing that DaveOMac is my Secret Santa and new best friend forever and ever.

Thank you.

Not if we're talking about the movie version.

That goblin queen looks fantastic.

Goblyn. Sorry.
