  1. Old TRU waves are a nightmare to get at eBay. Moonstone, Bullseye, Hulkbuster, Angel and Warpath cost me a lot of money. A LOT.

    I'm from Brazil, which is completely out of the radar for you guys, and it's a pain everytime I have to look for a new non-movie TRU wave at eBay. But then, what choice do I have? Yeah, there are people earning money at eBay, but it seems like this is a game being played since the beginning of times.

    What other choice do you have? We can help you out on here. I've still got extras of Marvel TRU 19 that I sell at basically cost + shipping instead of $19.99 per 2-pack.

    Thank you a lot, MisterMiracle. I'm not looking for any specific set right now, since I've already paid 12-14 por each box from TRU 19... :( but thanx again! :)

  3. I'm glad with the characters chosen, even though Axis hasn't hit Brazil yet so I have no clues what this Kluh is meant to be.

    But I can't help to feel sad that we still don't have the new looks for other great characters such as Storm and other X-men, or even Ms Marvel... Wasp... I do hope this gets fixed anytime soon.

  4. Thus, going back to Danni's original point (I think! lol), if we do end up getting waves from the Netflix shows, the potential problem with that for the "comic" fans is that it will just add to the movie waves and thus reduce the comic waves further.

    Having said all of that I understand Zach's point that this year was the exception rather than the rule, and I'm liking the sound of 61 being comic based as well as 60. Personally I'm rooting for some new classic avengers and their villains!

    Yeap, that's what I was talking about. Anyway, I also desconsidered boxsets because the number of figures you get on a full wave ia obviously higher.

    Even though I lament what happened this year, I still think DST does an excepcional job recreating real actors into minimates. Having less waves to buy allowed me to chase and spend my pennies on some rare and expensive figures that were missing in my collection, like Archangel, X-Factor's Angel.... to name a few.

    I hope next year we get a wave focused on the new costume designs for the Avengers... but I still hope we have the chance to get some of the new designs for the X-Men as well... like Cyclops, Storm...

  5. Series 54/TRU 18 Captain America (comic)

    Series 55 The Winter Soldier (movie)

    Series 56/TRU Amazing Spider-Man 2 (movie)

    Series 57/TRU Guardians of the Galaxy (movie)

    Series 58 Days of Future Past (movie)

    Series 59 All-New X-Men (comics)

    Series 3 Best of (comics)

    Yeah, we've definitely had more comic assortments. (Four in a row!) However, if you add the SDCC Days of Future Past and Luke's Deadly Foes of Spider-Man boxed sets, we've had more comic Minimates. (And that doesn't include the X-Force and Zombie Villains expected to hit before the end of the year.)

    You mean we had more movie waves, right?

    I was just talking about waves, not boxsets.

  6. Since I don't collect movie waves, more waves based on tv shows or movies mean less comics waves, which makes me terribly sad, but I guess you can't please everybody all the time...

    that is me 100 percent I may have been here while but the 616 non love kills me at times and for minimates thats the linch pin IMO

    an before some one screams the next waves are X and 616 styled. To me its now the exeception then the norm now

    If I'm not mistaken, this year we had more waves based on movies than on comics, right? My pocket never felt so glad, but what about ?! lol

  7. Gosh, it seems this will be the first time I'll buy multiple sets to have all the extra combinations.

    While I don't necessarily care about these costumes and I much rather have classic Banshee, for example, I started collecting comics at the time these looks were being introduced here in Brazil. If we could have a TRU wave to complement this wave I'd love to have Lilandra... Death Bird... Corsair... Savage Island Rogue... ;)

  8. I only have an issue with new Daken because having 1/4 of the Uncanny Avenger's Horsemen would be very irritating.

    I actually wouldn't mind Logan's Legacy boxset, so long as Wolverine himself wasn't included.

    More annoying would be getting Banshee only to find out its in the horsemen colors.

    I'd never forget DST for that!! lol

  9. I'm really excited with this wave! I hope Quicksilver comes with classic Scarlet Witch, but then I'd prefer to have him in green just for accuracy. A new Vision is necessary since the last one is not quite good as a Vision mate should be.

    As for the Sentinel, is it going to be the same from Days of Future Past boxset? I couldn't tell by the picture...

    Well, we already got a great Scarlet Witch in the AvX boxset, unless you meant the Green Color Error one.

    Gosh, I've always thought that green costume Quicksilver had for some time was intentional, not an error! lol

    As for the Scarlet Witch, I was talking about her First appearance look, but I'm glad to have a new Vision, even if it's the current look. Great wave, I would just change that Sentinel, since we'll have two in wave 59, but anyway...

  11. I don't know about this being an X-Factor wave. Seeing classic Quicksilver makes me think this is a classic Avengers vs Masters of Evil. Or it could be X-Men vs Brotherhood.

    I'd be really happy to have a two set of green Quicksilver and classic Scarlet Witch! And then... who knows... we'll eventually get Toad and Mastermind?

  12. There's always going to be little issues here and there, I was referring more to the general QC nightmare that was TRU Wave 9 Brown Wolverine.

    - Sloppy paint

    - Questionable molds

    - Weak plastic

    - Wonky skin tone

    - Black hands

    My first Minimate! I really don't like him :/

    I got him in the two pack with Dark Magneto. Both had feet that wouldn't stay on, and both had shoddy paint apps. I'm glad I didn't get deterred, and continued collecting!

    That Dark Magneto and his black head that's useless... It'd be cool if it could fit its peg...

  13. I hope we'll get these new looks next year, but I also hope we get some other new looks that didn't show in recent waves, like Captain Marvel (Carol Danvers... I really liked her new outfit with that helmet thing), most of all X-Men were forgotten and they have cool new outfits, like Cyclops and Storm to name a few, Moonknight (but I haven't read his new title yet)...
