I was beginning to get worried about my Alpha Flight set, but I got the email just a bit ago it's shipping and due to deliver tomorrow. YES!
I wasn't so worried about it being now or early December, my main concern on these as always is...if they run out and my order has not been fulfilled, will I get it at all. Thankfully, not a problem here Hoping everyone gets their emails soon! |

Since walmart failed me I had to buy Valkyrie off of Amazon. I broke my toy buying rule and paid $36.56 for her. I feel a bit dirty paying that much but I know I will be happy having her.
Also got Binary Cap Marvel coming from Walmart which I got cheap |

Arrived home today from work to find my Alpha Flight set waiting for me.
I've been in daddy mode since I came home so I really haven't had time to mess around with the set or take photos, but here's a couple of first impressions.

I've decided to just cancel my Target pre-order for Stan Lee to stop the recurring temporary authorization charge. I doubt it'll be too difficult to get when it comes out.

I got my shipping notification from Amazon. The Alpha Flight set should be arriving on my doorstep by Saturday! I’m happy to hear that especially with yesterday’s confusion.

Even after the AF set arrives, I'm still waiting on Heimdall, that blue Iron Man and the Love Triangle 3 pack from Dorkside, and possibly one more Moonstar to have a dedicated Wolfsbane in my collection. Unless the F4 and Spider-Man figures ship early of course. |

Y'know, thinking about it, I'm surprised they didn't commission John Byrne to do the Alpha Flight packaging art. They're kinda one of his babies.

Damn, that would have ruled. I’ve got a wall full of Byrne-signed “Alpha Flight” stuff, I love his work on that series.

My Alpha Flight set arrived today. The only notable paint mishap is that Aurora's left eye is just horizontally off-mark from the sculpt but it is only off by a little bit. I'll be waiting until Christmas to actually open it but on visual inspection I'm pleased.

Mine arrived today. My wife already checked it for paint flaws and found no deal-breakers (she tells me that Vindicator has some slight fuzz to her red paint, and Aurora has a very minor case of eye wonk). Can't wait to get home and check them out in-hand!
Now I really need the Wolvie/Hulk two-pack... gotta display 1st Appearance Logan with his old team!

My Alpha Flight set arrived as well - my only QC that I noticed was a red splotch on Heather's (whichever name you prefer she go by) left chest area. No fuzzy lines and everyone else looks good quality.
SO thrilled to have this set. Maybe not any one of them would make my top 10 figures this year, but as far as a singular item, it's the best thing Hasbro's put out this year, if only by combining the awesomeness that they went this far to complete the team. Further thoughts: it may not be comically accurate but I didn't realize Northstar was so short! In hand, he seems like he would have benefited from being on a better buck, but I'm not sure what. the muscular scale ratio seems just very slightly bulky as well, but these are minor nitpicks I only bring up because he's the one I wanted most from the set due to his more entwined ties with the X-Men. I'm just thrilled to have a ML figure of him, honestly, so I'm not complaining that much. I thinks also the best figure in this set is Snowbird. Really well done on a set that's really well done overall. Last edited by Captain Nash; 11-15-2019 at 02:59 PM.. |

Honestly if they can release Alpha Flight this way, a GSXM boxset should be easy money.
FA Storm Thunderbird Banshee (with alternate neutral and yelling faces) Cyclops (Re-release) Wolverine (Re-release of FA Wolverine with slightly new deco and a new masked head) |

Good idea. I'd probably replace Cyclops with GSXM Colossus but otherwise a good set. Though they'd have to go ahead and plan to re-release Storm single carded (or maybe do her single card first) since as much as this would sell really well, fans would also have a fit at only being able to get her as part of a set.
I'm pretty sure that pack could sell with Storm as the 'popular' character anchoring it. I mean, if the 90s Havok/Polaris set is any indication, Hasbro's even willing to move away from that unspoken rule a bit.

This set really came out nicely. They even created a window for another team or two with Heather. I'd love to see Marrina, Talisman, Box Baf (Byrne, Magnolia), Nemesis, Diamond Lil (Rogue mold would be nice, but I could also see an Angela body with new arms), Wild Child (Beta Flight to match Lil), and Aurora with short hair and yellow & white duds. They could do a set, wave, or mix them in with Excalibur and other X-miniverse stuff. I'm pretty happy with this product and, as usual, I want more of this offshoot box-set goodness.
Glad to have these, finally. Last edited by TheBlueMarvel; 11-15-2019 at 06:51 PM.. |

Thanks to the Arker who mentioned Aurora's stiff arm. Just boiled her in some water along to loosen it up. Heather's right shoulder was stiff and her right hip.

Or they could just go with a three-pack of Storm, T-Bird, and Banshee. It'd lessen the amount of grumbling (since all three are in need of a Legends release), and other releases of the remaining team members can fill in the gaps. Just go the "Family Matters" route for them. Include two heads for both Storm and Sean (I know Storm needs her whited-out eyes, but wouldn't it be great to get a head with her normal blue eyes as well?), some lightning effects for storm, and maybe two sets of hands for Johnny (fists and open-ish hands for grab poses).

Oh, Canada!

So nice to see all your Alphan pics. Nice of Hasbro to give us 80's characters, not only 90's.
My wish list next year is going to be very different finally. |

If the AoA wave BAF is Sabretooth, I hope it has two noggins. I'd appreciate Exiles options.
