  1. There is no official date for the TRU set, but they should be hitting stores soon.

    As long as they didn't get held up by the dock workers strike. My guess is that we won't see these until after the new year.

    For the Lcs sets, I'm going to wait to see if we get Walking dead series 2 and SFvTX series 2, both are scheduled to hit on Jan.2, on time. If we do then Jan. 9 should be accurate.

  2. Just got mine in the mail today, and these look great. One thing I noticed was that under the text box on the right, there is the label TWD4-1. Now I wonder if that is clarification for in case they make more box sets down the road, or if they know there will be more?

  3. Those figures are also at craft stores like A.C. Moore and Michaels if that helps anyone.

    They make some really well done knights and mythical creatures too. I always stop by and look at them, they remind me a little of the Britains Knights I used to collect as a kid.

    The only problem I have with them is that they aren't package and their weapons are removable. A lot of the figures have missing weapons(due to stealing, or people remiving them and losing them) or mismatched weapons. So you have to search to find the one out of five that's complete.

  4. Got 2 sets last night, these are great. Though one pack had 2 left phoenix killer gauntlets and the other was missing Protector's alternation hair. Made an exchange with customer service and everything is perfect now. I love this Scarlet With.

    And thanks Miry. I knew bits and pieces about Protector, but not the whole story.

    Ps.

    I found them today in SE PA, (granite run mall location). And I agree that the gold looks great with his visor. I'm gonna try to customize the other set I got with some clear red over the gold. I have no connection to the look or story, so the colors don't meant that much to me..... Plus, I got some plans for his mask anyway

    Hey, we're neighbors (sorta)! I live in this general vicinity, though I'm actually closer to the KoP one. I was going to make a run down there sometime this week; good to know I've got something to look forward to. :biggrin:

    I didn't know there were 'versers in the area, I'm by the NE Philly area. I live by the Franklin Mills TRU, but I do most of my shopping at Langhorne TRU by the Oxford Valley Mall.

  5. I just came back from Tru shopping, and at the ones by me it was buy one, get one 50% off all Marvel products. MvC mates were included, but the AvX box was not. Though after a quick trip to customer service, I was refunded for the difference.

  6. Oh, my poor wallet...

    So does this mean that the Amazon 4 pack will delayed til the first or second week of Jan. too?

    BHM, I believe they are straight re-issues, this is the second re-issue too.

    I remember Dst saying that they wanted this to be the wave that the "new to minimates" people can find and get into, so they wanted it to be always available at LCSs.

  7. Well it took me longer to get my entry in than I expected, but here it is (sorry for the not so great shots, I had to take hese with my phone at work) :

    My duo is Sweet and Sour!

    I made sweet strawberry and sour green apple gummy Minimates.

    Some really great entries overall, this was fun.

  8. Joe Fixit comes with a shirt/vest, I believe, but not a bare chest. That's why I had a grey Savage Hulk in the Series 50 poll. Nobody voted for him, if I remember right.

    I did.....

    I think we're always looking for a theme for four-packs, and I'm not sure "people who are different colors" would fly. (The MvC3 P2 sets for SDCC last year were more out of necessity than anything.)

    But since they're all A-listers, variations on these guys is always a possibility in the regular waves. Hulk and DD you should Ask DST for. Punisher it seems like we've danced all around this version, but who knows. X-Men Deadpool... is that the yellow and blue one? Like in the MvC set? How long did he wear that?

    Yeah, I figured it wouldn't fly. It made more sense for the P2 setup, then for no real reason. It was more wishful dreaming, I just really would like to see those variations.

    X-men Deadpool that I was thinking of is the one from Cable and Deadpool Vol. 2, I think it was only worn for a couple of issues tjough. But, that to me is the quintessential X-men DP costume.
