cant wait to get these although I'm going to hold off till I see them in stores. I prefer getting my own figures and picking the best paint and detail.

hmmm just want to take the comic series only, for me concept series just repaint from previous series, not worth it to collect them all (even we can paint the figures by our own !!, damn)

Whiplash and Ultimate armor look fantastic. The rest I'll pass on.

Modern War Machine looks really cool, never was a huge fan of the fact that Rhodey was all cyborged out though, so I'll keep the helmet on.
I want the Stark Racing one since this'll be about the closest thing I can get to the suit Tony wore outside of the minimate. Otherwise it's an okay group. |

Unfortunately the modern WM looks like he has no elbow swivel. That is a deal breaker for me. I didn't pick up Arctic IM or advanced armor IM because of that crappy body.

I hate how Hasbro/BBTS/whoeever is classifying these, making them into "comic waves" and "movie waves". Except this movie wave has ... nothing from the movie. It's all concept figures. It makes no sense.
I don't even know how to categorize them with the multiple waves and scattered numbering. |

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but I suspect that Mandarin is short-packed in the wave so probably won't be available by himself.
I notice the set of all 4 is sold out so if you're after Mandarin it might have to be hope you see him in store or get him on ebay. But otherwise, yay, Mandarin is here! (I pre-ordered, so added the set of 4 to my pile of loot last night.) |

I will kill to get my hands on that Ultimate iron man. Or I could just pay $25 for it I suppose.

How exactly does BBTS get these significantly before everyone else? Do they have a deal with Hasbro or some Chinese factory somewhere?
That being said, I'm considering grabbing the box of the Armor Tech Series 3 and the Movie Series 5. Anyone want first crack at an Air/Weapon Drone or Movie Whiplash? |

The "Concept Series" figures are supposed to be based partially on previous movie figures - they're basically off-screen, mission-specific armors. Which makes sense if you think about it. Tony is well-known for modding his armors for specific tasks or missions (see Hulk- and Thorbuster, among others). You could even look at them as concept ideas that Tony came up with, but are only stored on J.A.R.V.I.S. Quote:

It will also be more confusing since the SRA concept figure is #40 and more movie figures are slated for release (which will probably start with #41). If any more comic figures get announced, I don't know what numbers they'll end up with. Quote:
AFAIK, BBTS only has one distribution center that handles site orders and ships them DTC. You could always email Joel and ask him about it. Not sure if he will answer, but it couldn't hurt to try.

Based on what I've seen on the site, BBTS only adds the "Comic" tag to the entries when the packaging identifies them as "Comic Series". Everything else is considered "Movie" by them.

Crap, sold out before I got to the site. Managed to pick up 2 Ultimates and 2 War Mchines from BBTS Amazon store but no Whiplash to be had. Any one pick up an extra they want to sell and/or trade?
