groundhog7s Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 With my order through Luke's (by proxy through another member), I know I'm part of the problem of the SHIELD agents not being available. And now that the Expendables have been announced, I know what generic heads I'll be using on all the extras. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellpop Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Wow, these come out tomorrow, and I still can't decide if I want the whole set... or none of them. Hear me out: I've made customs of Jonah and Aunt May, and I'm not sure I want to replace them; my main motivation for wanting Jean DeWolff is to give her badge hand to my Commissioner Gordon custom (yes, it all comes down to the customs with me :biggrin:); Sin-Eater... I just don't know if I want; Daredevil is nice, but I'm perfectly happy with the Daredevil I have (an amalgam of the previous two, with the MK DD chest and mask and the detailed wave one legs and arms); as for Black Spidey, well, I still get annoyed that I overpaid for the old variant whenever I see a new one. Okay, that brings us to the army builder, and I do want that. So... who am I kidding, I'm getting the whole set. With my order through Luke's (by proxy through another member), I know I'm part of the problem of the SHIELD agents not being available. And now that the Expendables have been announced, I know what generic heads I'll be using on all the extras. I like that idea! Stone Cold Steve Austin: Agent of SHIELD!

Valo487 Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 I'll definitely be picking up some extra SHIELD agents myself. I'm just waiting for them to hit wide release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dj87 Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 'mon, don't be shy... numbers people. How hard have we hit the pre-order bandwagon? I managed to get myself 5, I only army build to 5, for cost, space and sanity reasons. That's barely a platoon to some of you (Groundhog, I remember you photo of the first few waves of army builders... a small swimming pool's worth).

groundhog7s Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 I'm trying to limit myself to only 10 each of newer troop builders, but I'm sure I'll end up with more SHIELD agents when it's all said and done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youbastards Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Same here, I buy 8 additional army builder packs from Luke, aside from the normal custom case I "usually" get per wave. Like the Hand Ninja, I can see my self going overboard with SHIELD Agents. I've got around 35-40 Multiple Men, 20 Sentinels, 15 Hand Ninjas and then around 10 each of the rest.

Bob Harris Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 All you lovely people with WAY too many JJJs because of army buliding, I'd gladly pick one of those up from you. :biggrin: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fwoosheyman Posted February 21, 2012 Author Share Posted February 21, 2012 I put in a preorder for 6 additional JJJ/Agent packs along with a variant set of the wave. I usually don't go over 4 for army builders but I'll be redoing Fury, Dum-Dum and making Maria & Carter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyd Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 I can only hope that Zach & Diamond notices the rampant demand for SHIELD Agents and we see some sort of re-issue down the road. Also, the amount of extra JJJs on the board may be staggering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twisted Two-Face Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 No one's buying all those to own an army of angry newspaper Editors like me?? I never go over 5 army builders, but SHIELD Agents will be the exception; i need like.....20. They really will be the best, most modular army builders yet; i love that Expendables idea, i think you just sold me on that line now. It really is funny how a Spider-man wave may be one of the best of the year. There really isn't a reason to hate this wave at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buttheadsmate Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 (edited) Unlike some of you greedy b*stards I refrain from increasing my standing order . What are you guys like? Why on earth you can't be happy with just one of each is beyond me. P.S. Anybody who has spare JJJs please get in touch.

youbastards Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 So is BBTS the only place that has gotten this wave already? Odd that there have been zero reports of people finding them in-store, and Luke said he doesn't know yet if he is getting them next week. Why would one online retailer get them weeks before others? To paraphrase a classic, "Youbastards needs pix...badly!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luke314pi Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 I believe our store received Series 42 a week before BBTS or the other large toy retailers, so it must have something to do with the way Diamond's distribution system works. Maybe the pallets come through customs one at a time, and Diamond just ships them out as customs clears them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ImABarRoomHero Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Stopped by my LCS today. They received the Best Of wave (which all look great btw) but no Wave 43. So yeah BBTS must have either charged early or received them before everyone else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mystery Man Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 (edited) I've got 2 full sets ordered from Luke, so there's 4 SHIELD guys so far. Plus another 5 JJJ sets ordered from SciFiGenre since Luke sold out by the time I had the money. That'll be enough (for now). That'll give me Nick Fury, Dum Dum Dugan, Gabe Jones, Jasper Sitwell, Jimmy Woo, Clay Quartermain plus 3 other generic fella's.

MINI_MYTE Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 I can only hope that Zach & Diamond notices the rampant demand for SHIELD Agents and we see some sort of re-issue down the road. Also, the amount of extra JJJs on the board may be staggering. Hopefully if a SHIELD agent re-issue does occur, they will be of the female persuasion. As for the extra JJJs clogging up people's collections, now's their chance to customize a Hitler minimate for Captain America and Bucky to pound unmercifully on. Can anybody who has wave 43 in their possession tell me if Aunt May comes accessorized with a stacked plate of Wheat Cakes or a defibrillator? :biggrin: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mystery Man Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 It'd be neat IF a re-issue of SHIELD agents occurs that they come shown with a female torso but have a male one packed-in as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just curious, what heads are you using for Jasper Sitwell, Jimmy Woo, and Clay Quartermain? Haven't gotten into my parts to find 'em just yet, but I know that Jasper will have an Egon Spengler head. Probably the Courtroom one, since I like that smirk. I'll have to see how the heads go with the hair. Hair will likely be the piece that comes with the Secret War Captain America. I used to do this stuff in advance, but I found it took some of the fun away from swapping parts when the rest of the figures come in the mail.
