Mystery Man Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 The boxes look nice, but they're goin' in the trash/recycle bin when I get 'em home. Save the price hike for paint tampo's on Spider-Man so the poor little guy can have webbing all the way around his wrists and ankles, thanks!

boyd Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 I do like the new boxes - very colorful, energetic graphics. And the new widescreen display window is nice too. But I really wish they had redesigned the trays inside the package as well. Right now the Minimates are off to the sides and still halfway covered, leaving the big open display area in the middle to show off hairpieces or other accessories, or worse, empty space. If you're going to open up the space, you might as well use it right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobsterman Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 I have to agree, Boyd. I think the brighter colors and cool shape of the card are a big improvement, but the window cuts should have been thought out better. They seem to be showing off not much figure and a whole lot of poster... Interesting also that they seem to have left off any mention of one of the sets being a variant.

The Vox Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 I think they missed a great opportunity with the Silver Iron Man in this wave.. it was the perfect time to recast that hand piece and make the first minimate that is flipping the bird.

fwoosheyman Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 Does anyone know if this wave still due out on August 3rd or if it has been delayed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mystery Man Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 I'll echo that sentiment in the hopes that it'll be answered soon. Hulkbuster Iron Man, Juggernaut, Thing and Red Hulk are all great... but somehow feel incomplete without the original Hulk there with them.

mtd20_2000 Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 My comic shop is not getting them in this week. So who knows, hopefully next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
battlecat Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 August 3rd was from DST's "estimated ship date" blog post right? Because those things are always pretty optimistic -- I think that one said the First Class box set was coming out in June and the Curse of the Mutants set in July. BBTS have Wave 41 listed as arriving in September, who knows if that's more accurate though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nessex Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 So that's you finished, then, Ness? All your Minimate hopes and dreams finally fulfilled, and you can retire from the hobby in peace? That's it! I'm done! (j/k). Seriously though, It's been a pretty good 12 months for this little x-fan. Still - there's always the Brothehood Nessex, will you be retiring your avatar after Sinister is in your posession? Hmmmm - might switch it to AoA Sinister for a while & then head back to some comic images after that. I really don't know what i'll do with myself once i have Sinister in hand. I guess now that i have Sinister, Meggan and most of my AoA wants - i can start campaigning for other peoples wants. So i'm offering my services to the highest bigger. Team Falcon or Team Kang???
