SouthFLGuy Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 yeah, I do understand that. My closest TRU had them for like 2 weeks, but when they sold out they never came back in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eclipse Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 my store never even saw the secret wars box set so i dont think ill be seeing this one (online for me) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groundhog7s Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 There's a TRU out of my way that still had Secret Wars sets last month when I was there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveOMac Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 My TRU still has like 6 Secret Wars sets, they overstocked on this set for some reason. I think ever since the Ghostbusters minimates sold like hot cakes they order a lot more of all minimates. I talked to a guy there and he told em the Ghostbusters minimates are considered one of the top sellers of all toys at my TRU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youbastards Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 Got the dreaded, "your order has been cancelled" email for these today... Not even "backordered", outright cancelled. I ordered them on the same order as my Heroic boxsets, and those arrived today. Oh well, at least I still got free shipping out of it...

rx78jj Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 I always found it weird that my TRU never got the Secret Wars set. It got all the other sets except that one. Well, thats part of the fun of collecting these little buggers, isn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stack32 Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 A box from TRU showed up today and, shockingly, instead of damaged Dark Avengers it was Captain America: World War II Cap: Alternate Mask: Suspended Animation Cap: Back View with Mask: Armored Cap: Cap Reborn: Other observations on the set: -The only quality problem I can see is that Cap Reborn's mail pattern extends down slightly into the red/white portion of the chest block. -The tape that holds the shields down touches nearly all of each shield, so there's lots of residue when you remove them, but no damage. -There's no alternate cuff pieces for the left arms, so if you don't want Cap to hold his shield the peg and straps will be showing.

SouthFLGuy Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 I was iffy on this set originally but I'll be buying this one definitely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dj87 Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 I really wanted these when they were first announced, then proto pics became available. I'm really underwhelmed by these final pics, the're all very very average minimates, and I'm glad I've saved my money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiniFiend UK Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 Really liking the upper body piece for the WWII Cap. A little bulky but it gives the chain-mail effect good emphasis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MINI_MYTE Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 Love the set. Can't wait till mine arrives. Can we see a pic of armored cap without his mask on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fwoosheyman Posted October 16, 2010 Author Share Posted October 16, 2010 Got mine today in the mail as well. It definitely makes up for the disappointing Heroic Age set. Every figure is great (WWII is my fav, he's just badass) and I'm really liking the new cuff/shield holder piece. My shields also had the large amount of tape residue when I took them out of the package. However use a little goo-off/goo-gone and it will come right off.

God Magnus Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 WWII Cap looks amazing! Can't wait to find this set! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nessex Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 (edited) Thanks for the pics Stack32. This set looks pretty darn good, although i have to admit that i'm a little disappointed at how Armoured Cap turned out. the paint aps could have been applied a little better and i was expecting his armour to look a but more like the sheen we saw on the original bucky-Cap. Still - not a bad set. Can't wait to get that Ice accessory for my Iceman Edited October 17, 2010 by Nessex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eclipse Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 this set is a win (i.m.o) cant wait to get my grubby hands on this set Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minimadman Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 I really want my TRU to get these, but seeing how they never got any of the Secret Wars boxsets I'm not holding my breath. I'll have to do some traveling I guess. These have been a must have since they were announced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainChunk Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 The alternate mask/helmet on the WW2 version totally fixes my only complaint with this set. Looking forward to getting them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mnemosis Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 I really wanted the ice piece and was looking forward to this set as a whole. Now that I see it, though? Meh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MINI_MYTE Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 (edited) I love the expression on suspended animation Cap. He looks as if he'd been smokin' a little somethin', somthin'. lol Edited October 17, 2010 by MINI_MYTE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mystery Man Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 What's the rest of the Suspended Animation Cap look like? All green pants? Are there tears on 'em with his costume underneath? It's my favorite! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
