MINI_MYTE Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Zach can you confirm that the accompanying TRU wave (wave 15 I think) will indeed be FF related or will it be a hodge podge of minimates similar to wave 13? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrClean Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 I bet the Puppet Master's puppets will be cool little minimate looking figures, which, repainted, could make for some good custom tiny characters (Ant-Man, Wasp...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

groundhog7s Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 (edited) Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think this wave has it's own thread yet. I thought it was time to start one since BBTS has them up for pre-order with the release picture. What I noticed most was the $1 per pack increae on their price ($33.99 for the set as opposed to $29.99). They're still worth it though. edit:aw crap, I knew there was a thread somewhere Edited August 17, 2012 by groundhog7s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellpop Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 I finally got around to listening to the rest of the AFX Minimate podcast the other day, and I couldn't help but notice that Zach said that his current quest was to get a Blastaar Minimate made. And there he is! This makes me very, very hopeful that Dragon Man (another one I know Zach's championed) will be in the TRU sister wave. Anyway, when's Luke getting his preorder up?

karamazov80 Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 Damn. Looks like BBTS has increased the price by $4 per set since last I noticed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groundhog7s Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 Anyway, when's Luke getting his preorder up? Why does that sound so dirty? And I'll second the hope for a Dragon Man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rx78jj Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 I dont know about you guys, but I find this set to lack any visual punch, except for Mr. Fantastics limbs. There is a drab look going on with this wave. Who agrees? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyd Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 Don't forget - the Invisible Woman and Human Torch come with awesome bases. Between that and the great stretchy pieces for Mr. Fantastic, I think these versions will have some punch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groundhog7s Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 I could care less about the overall feel of it since it's got 4 new characters in it (including a cool troop builder). It's nice to get a wave of mostly new people when you're 48 waves into a line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a drab look going on with this wave. Who agrees? Well, it's not exactly colorful, with lots of white, dark blue, and grey, but drab? Nah. How can you call that Johnny Storm lacking in visual punch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tones Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 Damn. Looks like BBTS has increased the price by $4 per set since last I noticed. yeah, that's new with this round of pre-orders. Marvel 48, SFxT wave 2 and Battle Beasts wave 1 are all $34. it still beats tracking them down and paying LCS prices (especially what they charge for variants ). that said, if they go up any more I'll have to rethink my buying habits. I've already cut down from 2-3 of everything to just multiples of important army builders or specific custom fodder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSTZach Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 Wave 15 will be half FF-themed, half hodgepodge. Although some of the FF and some of the hodgepodge go together -- there isn't a distinct line separating the FF from the hodgepodge. Does that make any sense (he asks a room of people who frequently make no sense)? If you can track down what I've confirmed will be in Series 15, that may clear things up. I think I said yes to a couple of different things. Not sure if there's a thread for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
undeadpool Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 oh im assuming Doctor Strange will be part of the Hodge podge...which could mean Dragon Man could bridge the F4 half and a Defenders half will there be a set from wave 48 IN TRU wave 15? or they all entirely different packs?

luke314pi Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 Anyway, when's Luke getting his preorder up? By the end of the weekend. Damn. Looks like BBTS has increased the price by $4 per set since last I noticed. Diamond just raised prices, so you will see it on these, Battle Beasts, Street Fighter X Tekken Series 2, and all other waves moving forward.

groundhog7s Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 Well, at least the percentage of increase is still way less over the years than other lines. I used to buy Marvel Legends when they were $7 at Walmart. This weekend an ML in my hand at TRU until I realized they're charging $20 for them now.

mav-man Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 (edited) They said in the Q & A's that the other heralds of galactus, Firelord & Airwalker would be in a tru wave this year, so i'm hoping they'll be included with this wave.
