Mattallica Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 now if we could just get updated stands with the peg moved so the mate would be centered on the stand Why is this so desired? I think the offset peg allows for much more dynamic poses. You can have a character as far over as you like with these and still not need to worry about him falling over. A centered peg, in my opinion, would not be as stable if posing, say, Rhino charging. Not looking for a fight, I am honestly curious. im not suggesting a centered peg, it should still be off centered but as it is now standing a mate on the peg leaves it to one side of the base plate, which is unstable in some poses and just looks weird(IMO) moving the peg slightly inward toward the center where a mate standing straight(at attention) would be centered would then make any pose stable and not look as odd, not a huge deal but it would be better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nebraska Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 I keep checking BBTS to see if my pre-orders have started processing. Between the FF, "Best of" wave 2, & Marvel Select Rhino, today is good day to be a DST fan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twisted Two-Face Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Neither FF or Best Of at my LCS today, just Select. Odd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hellpop Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 I ordeded mine from Luke, which I usually do when I want the whole set and don't want to risk missing out on the variant. I'm guessing we're all going to be putting our painting skills to the test to make lil' Ant-Mans out of those puppets (though I'll probably make a lil' Atom).

MisterPL Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Neither FF or Best Of at my LCS today, just Select. Odd. Same here. DST claims they're shipping them "later" according to the shop owner. No idea when though he said it might be this week. Possibly next week. These things used to be so reliable.

hellpop Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 I'd bet it's probably DCD (Diamond Comics Distributors) and not DST feeding that line. They've done that before, fulfilling some orders before others. Anyway, I just saw these at my shop, so I can confirm that at least SOMEONE got these this week.

pappymojo Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 I found them in boston. Wave 48, best of 2, battle beasts and more. Price jumped up to $9.99 a set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellpop Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 (edited) Yeah, I paid 10 bucks for the two Best Of sets I bought. Still a good deal. I meant to mention that the FF sets looked really cool. Let's get shippin', Luke! Edited January 30, 2013 by hellpop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pappymojo Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 My LCS practically had to re-arrange their product placement to account for all the minimates. Walking Dead, Tekken, Battle Beasts, Marvel Best Of 2, Wave 48, a couple Halo box sets, Fear Itself box sets, a couple Marvel vs. Capcom, a couple Universal Monsters box sets. I'm sorry I didn't take a photo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elmeaux Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Great wave. And I'm not even much of an FF fan. Really like how the extra parts "variants" worked out too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glantern Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Well, I got mine, but my store got a 4th Sue instead of an Alicia. Fortunately Luke still had her for sale so I went a head and ordered from him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nessex Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Poor planning? More a case of trying to be stingy with the shipping charges.... well, that and poor planning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glantern Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Took some picks of this wave. Pretty fun wave over all. The Byrne look is my favorite because it's what they wore on the 90s cartoon, so I love that we got them! Reed & the Puppet Master: Johnny & Blastaar: Sue & the Moloid: Here's one of Johnny "flamed off"(I need to get a spare Reed to do this permanently) And a group shot. Clobberin Time Thing is standing in(my favorite version until the new TRU one comes out). I also like Reed a lot more with the "Best Of" hair. And Reed versus a Doombot: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
