  1. Damn, Amazon has the Aurora set for $7 dollars......for that price Im probably going to get another just for parts. The hand holding piece, Auroras head/hairs, Shaman's hair and the flight stands are worth that much to me..........

    I hear that! I used Shaman's hair for Moonstar, and am painting the white hair piece for Psylocke while using the black one for Spider-Woman.

    I just made a Moonstar with SFxTekken's Julia hairpiece but now that Luke sent me an extra Alpha Flight set for one of my $5 Anniversary grab bags, I may have to make another one with the extra Shaman I have! (Never enough Dani Moonstar pieces for me!) Great idea, sir!

    Thanks, I tried the Jill hairpiece too but for some reason I didn't like it. I think I couldn't get the black the right color. Can't wait to see yours!2013-06-15123153_zpsd77be86e.jpg

  2. I guess you're right. I never knew about Thorpool and CapPool. Cablepool has to be a real thing since they teamed up for so long, lol. I'm surprised they didn't do Venom pool.

    I would have loved Marvel Pool, though.

    Marvel Pool would be great! Especially if we could then have an easy custom into the 60's Marvel Girl outfit. That seriously is one of my favorite costumes of all time.

  3. Heh. Noobies. They're all like *suspicious look* "How are you helping?" The rest of us are just like "Go got me my SSN Card out of my wallet. It's right next to the hundred dollar bill and the spare key to my mustang."

    LOL it does take a while to get use to!

  4. Yeah, I realized it after I posted when I looked down on the page, hehe. Staring at Captain Ameri-pool makes me think he's a communist, though.

    Well, this is a compelete 180 from Alpha Flight. I am torn between my love for Deadpool and posing him in these ridiculous outfits and of course the fact that we lost 4 slots over this. It's the same issue I have with the Wolvie set where these could have been sold at a local comic book shop or TRU and we lost a shot at getting four new mates. Also side bar anyone else pissed that Marvel is doing Lego varient covers for their titles this fall?

  5. - Captain America & Winter Soldier

    - Falcon & Black Widow

    - Baron Strucker & Hydra Soldier redux

    - Madame Hydra & Hydra Soldier redux

    Okay, I'm going to tweak my previous Wave 54 line-up guess a little:

    - Captain America & Red Skull (Re-do villain)

    - Falcon (Fan Choice, New Hero) & Winter Soldier (Fan Choice, New Villain)

    - Baron Strucker (Fan Choice, New Villain) & HYDRA Soldier redux

    - Madame Hydra (One female, New Villain) & HYDRA Soldier redux (Variant)

    this would be awesome, and seems quite possible

    Especially since we now have the Red Skull Onslaught version that may be included.

  7. I don't hate the box set at all Zach, I just was hoping for something mind-blowing for SDCC, it was just getting hopes up for something when we had seen the exclusive months ago, that's all.

    I still want my Noir Spider-Man. So the alternate looks are still viable when useful.

    High 5.

  8. Not feeling this set. I'll pick it up if I find it on sale.

    Yeah I'm going to pass too. For some reason, and this is completely ridiculous, I feel really disappointed that this is the SDCC exclusive set. This to me could have been a mainstream set. The SDCC sets are where we get the "Oh @*& can't believe that they made them!" and this is one where I would have expected to see that on the shelves. Regardless, I am not a big Wolverine fan anyway so that could also be the annoyance factor. So far I haven't seen a four pack set this year that I have been excited about but then again last year I got Alpha Flight and the heralds.

  9. I think you guys are jumping the gun a bit on declaring the Alpha Flight sets a failure. Just because AFX sold off their inventory to Luke doesn't mean anything, other then that they were looking to clear it out from their warehouse. Luke also has their old Thor: Stormbreaker inventory, which you can get for an even better price. Hell, you can get a case of those for about a $130 discount (and yes, I know it's a year older).

    It's been selling for reduced prices at various outlets (Amazon for sure) for months. I'm not sure failure is the right word, but it certainly suggests that DST is right to be cautious about boxsets without a major character to carry them.

    Sadly I have to agree with this. I am a die-hard Alpha Flight Fan but it is hard to get two sets out for this classic team when they can't carry a series. Look at the X-Force team set with Psylock etc. That thing sold out like gangbusters even though it was mostly repaints. THe ALpha set had masisve tooling to it and is a peg warmer in NYC.

  10. i was just thinking... and know it's not really likely... but it'd be cool if the 'much asked for update' was a 3 inch Giant Man. pretty sure that's still against the rules, though.

    But at least a Giant-Man with the waist riser so between that and his feet he is a little taller than the others. I would kill for a max statue of him.

  11. I really never understood how that worked with Peter's costume. It doesn't even make sense from a pseudo-science perspective.

    Me either. I think it was a cop-out. The blue legs are easy enough to swap out for but I like this one better. Besides it's date night!

    But Deadpool expressed his concerns on the matter as well and brought Box to support him.

    Piotr is upset about his college fund and letting the other strippers down. It will pass.

    Here's a together shot of the Colossus twins.

  12. So I decided to focus on some civilians this holiday weekend and started with Piotr.

    2013-05-27151018-1_zps65744fa5.jpg

    Took the boots from Outback Piotr. The legs, chest, arms and hair from Namor, the crotch of Giantsized X-Men Piotr same with the vest and the face of a random. THe cuffs are from a AVX Wanda.

    Kitty is just a Karma body with a Maya Hair piece. I also have a painted Original X head piece that she is displayed in when showing off Sprite.

  13. I've never had the paint rub off of any Minimate I own. In fact, I think minimates "hold up" better then any other line I've collected.

    The only paint rub off I have had was Lion-O.

  14. I'd throw away all my mates for a night with Kate Upton? Nah

    She wouldn't be allowed at your dance, either....

    I would suffer through "bare bones" versions of Spider-man in every pack.

    If it meant we got Mary Jane, Carly, Harry, Betty Brandt, Gwen Stacy and Peter Parker.

    I would take another BD Red Daredevil for Foggy, Ben Urich and/or Karen Page.

    I would take a 10 pack of Spider-Man, Daredevil, Hulk, Thor, Cap, Iron Man, Wilverine, Cyclops, and Thing, all with limited tampos and no extra parts, if it meant I got Stan Lee.

    I would take a full case of "Best of" repacks if it meant we got a box set of the Daily Bugle/DB/Frontline staff.

    I think I would take just about any redos if it meant we got supporting civilian mates. yes.gif

    Yeah but we gotten several MJ, Gwen, and Peters. to me, I would cash in for the never had rather than a redo.

  15. You'd be sad too if they hadn't made a 'mate out of you

    Not quite what I meant, but *when* we finally get him, I feel like he'll only look "right" if he's made with blue plastic, perhaps with black painted highlights.

    I feel it's only a matter of time before we get the bulk of the missing Avengers, with the only two least-likely candidates being Moondragon and Dr Druid. Tigra, Black Knight, Mockingbird all seem to me like they will get made eventually.

    As long as I finally, FINALLY, FINALLY get a Crystal that wasn't a custom I would be happy with that. Hell, a Moon Dragon custom is easy enough if anyone wanted one.

  16. This topic seems a little trollish. It's basically a wishlist with the added negativity of shitting on characters someone here might actually want. Ill play along....

    I have absolutely no desire for Stacy X, horrible character. Boring and unattractive design.

    If for some odd reason she came packaged with Madeline Pryor, my biggest want, id buy the two pack.

    Cosign. But for me, I would accept almost anything including:

    181294-188796-six-pack_super_zps72b33af7

    Cable's Six/Wild Pack

    If it meant getting:

    THE Power Pack
