thereasonsy Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 I kind of wish the Enchantress didn't have that triangle thing on her stomach. She'd be such an easy swap out for a Sersi whom I never thin we are going to see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigvis497 Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 (edited) Just noticed the iconic character selection changed in the top left of the packaging. The last time I believe we saw that art used was on TRU19 and the characters portrayed were Captain America, Thor, Iron Man, Wolverine & Spider-Man. Deadpool-ized versions of this same art appeared on Wave 65. Most of the waves since then have had a specific theme (Axis, Giant-Size X-Men) so the logo of the theme replaced the group shot. The current packaging trades out Wolverine & Thor for Hulk & Star-Lord. I wouldn't have believed you if you told me Star-Lord was going to be a top five Marvel icon ten years ago. edit: looks like the Greatest Hits packaging did this first Edited October 18, 2016 by bigvis497 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chigarillo Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 It being changed on the greatest hits wave is odd when you consider that both Wolverine and Thor are part of those waves but neither Star-Lord or Hulk are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chigarillo Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 (edited) Oh yeah. He replaced Thing beside Iron Man. Nope that just slipped my mind. Still I feel like part of that change is coming down from Marvel of "must delete all Fox owned heroes" which was what I was thinking when I read about that change.

Deadpool-ized versions of this same art appeared on Wave 65. It's different art completely. Poses are different, etc. Nobody was "swapped out" so much as we chose to focus on the characters that would have the most heat in the coming year across all media. It will eventually be a mini-poster in Marvel Minimates packaging, once they stop running the old one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CableNathan Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 Any news on a release date? I think this wave may be my last purchase for a little while. I am not too interested in anything else coming out soon and my wallet could use the break for some holiday purchases. Of course I say that now but some awesome person will sell some stuff on facebook or I might find a good deal on ebay, heh. Always happens when I am trying to take a break.

Heinous Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 That's a silly way to put it. In that case I've been taking a break since wave 68 came out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to Zach's posts in the Daredevil/JJ thread it sounds like both those box sets and 69 are any week now. They aren't on the release list for 11/9, so 11/16 would be the soonest any of them would go out but that is a maybe, maybe not as well.

DSTZach Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 Why would it be delayed? We had packaged samples a month ago, so it should arrive soon. Strange samples arrived more recently, but they should hopefully be out by end of year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MisterPL Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 (edited) Mass market retailers DO have shipping windows that demand to be kept. It's not unreasonable to assume that TRU would want Doctor Strange merchandise to be on shelves ASAP, possibly reprioritizing production.

Just curious since Animated 3 and both the DD and JJ sets have pasted it by and it was looking like Strange might too. I'm just really jazzed about this wait and want it in my hands. Wasn't the original projected date end of October though and been pushed back to mid November? And yes I realize I used projected in that last question and what it implies.

Daredevil set was solicited a month before 69, so it didn't pass it. Animated 3 was developed long before anyone here saw it. When it was shown at SDCC, those were packaged samples. Jessica Jones was solicited at the same time as 69, and it looks like they might come out within a week or two of each other, so we're doing pretty good there, too. Everything in that June Previews was TARGETED for October, but only half of the items from June actually shipped in October. One item shipped in September. Manufacturing time varies, including how many rounds of review are required, and packaging approvals can sometimes enter multiple rounds as well. So we know that date will not apply to all things. And then you've got to fill a shipping container, so big stuff might ship sooner than little stuff. It's why Minimates assortments CAN ship together sometimes.

It's definitely happened, but packaged samples are part of the production run, I believe, so the production for 69 was done before 70, based on when they showed up. Unless shipping is re-prioritized, i.e. space in a container, it should arrive first. It may not, but right now the system is showing an imminent ship date for 69, whether it is correct or not, and 70 does not have one, nor am I seeing any Strange TRU sets in the warehouse. I will keep everyone posted once I have a concrete date, as always. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatblockoguy Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 When my LCS checked to see if they're shipping next week we saw that the date on the diamond/ previews site had been updated to December 14th.

That clears that up, sorry if my question came off harsh or accusatory. Wasn't the intent. That makes sense with Animated 3, that wave seemed to be unveiled and distributed out of no where.

Dude, not harsh or accusatory at all, I was just clearing up what appeared to be a misperception. Sorry if my response came off as defensive, I only aim to clarify and put things in perspective. I do not always convey my intent well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mystery Man Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 With the "Most Wanted" label on that packaging, it'd sure be a shame to never use that specific title again. I think we need to discuss "Most Wanted 2". ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
