stegron01 Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Thanks for the pics Zach, and for doing them so soon after you got hold of them! Rhino is still the stand-out for me in this wave, but loving the alpha flight pack too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TENIME_art Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Not to nitpick, but after the amazing Cyclops blast mask, it would've been cool to have a Havok piece with a collar attached, so it could be placed over his chest. Love Heather's hairpiece. Sad she doesn't have glasses on her face, but unbelievably happy about the translucent visor - AND we're getting TWO!? Kind of a bummer about no Jeffries face under Box's helmet, but the "hologram" face sounds pretty awesome as is. My lust for AF comes from the X-Men cartoon, which he wasn't in anyways (and in which James was called Vindicator - which is how it shall be in my collection; "Guardian" sounds too peaceful, and more suited to Heather, IMO), and my experience with Madison comes from the X-Club, so the head would've gone on a plain clothes body anyways, with the Box robot next to him (which it absolutely still can). Regardless of any "shoulda/woulda/couldas", awesome sets. Truly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Geohound Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Oh sweet gravy. They all look so awesome. The two masks for Heather are really great. I am actually having a tough time right now deciding which one I like more. I can't wait for this wave. Also, I really like the green packaging. It's very nice. Thanks Zach.

elhonez Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Ah, this is why I love Marvel MiniMates so much. You can do so much more to pack in cool value-adds that other lines can't, or won't. Even when I'm already happy with the character selection, I open the boxes & often find a surprise or two. Or three. Love the extra visor for Vindicator, all the stands, and all the attention to detail that goes into these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bilbofett Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 WOW!! These look awesome! Thanks for the pics Zach. Those hairpieces on Storm and Heather look sweet. Nice custom fodder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zak Katz Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 He's saying there's no sticker therefor there will be more available Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CortherX Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 well i want Havok, but not Storm. I want Rhino, but not Iron Man. i just got Modok, but have no need for Akuma. Same with the Jill that came with Storm. I'm also planning on picking up MvC3 She-Hulk and X23, but have no desire for Chun-li or that Felicia. looks like i'll be doing some trading, soon!

pawcanada Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 After seeing the pictures (loving the green boxes by the way), half of them (Havok, Iron Man, Rhino, Ult Cap and New Ult Spidey) look AWESOME! The rest I'm mixed on as I'm not a big X-Men fan (but do like the new Havok). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrjasontodd Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 not bad. I'll be on the look out for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSTZach Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 He's saying there's no sticker therefor there will be more available I know that's what his words said, I just wanted to make sure he understood the reality. Rhino is an exclusive, he just doesn't have a sticker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freaqualizer Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Maybe this is a noob question..i am very familiar with Alpha Flight in general..but not so much with Box. What is the lunch box looking accessory that he comes with supposed to be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSTZach Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Alternate blaster hand. After seeing the pictures (loving the green boxes by the way), half of them (Havok, Iron Man, Rhino, Ult Cap and New Ult Spidey) look AWESOME! The rest I'm mixed on as I'm not a big X-Men fan (but do like the new Havok). You have GOT to change your handle, pawcanada. Not only are you not IN Canada, you don't like Alpha Flight, Canada's premiere super-team (who is tangentially connected to the X-Men universe, but hardly exclusive to that area). What is your position on hockey? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zak Katz Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 If a 2 pack has a sticker it draws the attention of scalpers. The Boomer and Magma sets were way harder to find then DD and Punisher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webhead Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Magma/mirage and boomer/rictor were 2 per case. Being short packed is why they were hard to find. Not because of the stickers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groundhog7s Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 The Boomer and Magma sets were also harder to find because they didn't have re-released figures (IMO). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobsterman Posted August 16, 2012 Author Share Posted August 16, 2012 Magma/mirage and boomer/rictor were 2 per case. Being short packed is why they were hard to find. Not because of the stickers Really? Was there a running packout change? They're showing up three per case in my area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heroic Slacker Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 The sticker does raise prices online, the Sue Storm and Namor sets tend to be a little bit more expensive then the Human Torch and Mr. Fantastic sets, even though they were all exclusives.

Was there a running packout change? They're showing up three per case in my area. Must have been. When they were first released I saw them at 2 different TRUs?in different states and they were all packed 4-4-2. I even was able to open a fresh case one time which confirmed it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkeye's Junk Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 Same here, two per box when i found them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSTZach Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 That's odd. So Lobster, you saw 3-3-3-3, and Webhead you saw 4-4-2-2? For Series 13, with Boomer? No chance anybody's case was repacked? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
