I disagree with this philosophy a bit , too, although I mean no disrespect. Do you know what my biggest thrill is? Seeing new toys. Adding to a team. Finding an obscure character whose series I read for a few issues 20 years ago.
It doesn't matter to me that I have something the next guy doesn't. I want the next guy to get what he wants. I want Hasbro to get that sale. I want them to keep making money so they will make more toys. They get money. I get joy. Yay 'merica! |

I will admit that every now and then I'm thrilled to find a rarer figure, it's reminiscent of the thrill of a hunt. That being said more oft than not, I would still prefer that no figure ever be one per case, because the joy of finding a rare figure is less than my anger that it was made rare by poor shipping design. Let's please get off this topic.

Ha! I called it on the mini Ant-Man! Even though... it's actually different to the one that came with Yellowjacket.
Is that Val head like the demo version we saw? |

Yay antman! And they also redid his legs to update his buck! Kind of glad we didn't get the comic pack now since they went ahead and updated it to have the thigh cut swivel.

Am I the only person wondering if Valkyrie's haircut changed between her prototype and the wave4 pic?

I think the MI case ratios suck, but I can't really fault Hasbro for wanting to make more of what they think will sell (even if I think they're dead wrong about it).
It kind of depends on whether or not you count 2008's Incredible Hulk as part of Phase 2. There are only a few ties between it and the rest of the films, so it could just as easily be ignored as 2003's Hulk. At least as far as the MCU is concerned.

Sorry, that was a typo. I meant to type "1" but was looking at your post while typing and my head told my fingers the wrong keystroke.

You have to imagine everything up to the Avengers was all in a matter of a week to 2 weeks in actual time.
Because based on the link you provided, we know that the events of IM1 and IM2 are about a year apart. I don't remember, but were there any specific dates mentioned in those films to establish that they took place as that timeline states they did? It seems odd to shift a movie's timeframe two years into the future, when it's supposedly taking place in "present day". Personally, I would have shifted IM1 back about two years to occur in 2008 and put IM2 about 2 years after that (based on their release dates). I would have also put Incredible Hulk as happening prior to IM1, simply because Tony would have still been in the business of making weapons for the military at that point (explaining his offer in the end-credits scene). If he was already an established hero by the time Banner returns to America in IH, why didn't he confront the Hulk himself - possibly in a variation of his Hulkbuster armor? Quote:

You're right though, the connections are small: a SHIELD logo on the canisters used on Blonsky, Stark showing up in the post-credit scene, and Blonsky getting name dropped in an episode of SHIELD, Marvel's probably hesitant to bring up this movie because of the switch from Norton to Ruffalo.
This is why I tend to largely ignore IH with regard to the Avengers timeline.

I think the Incredible Hulk is glossed over a bit because of the whole Ed Norton thing, but it is a tie in with the franchise, especially the Stark scene (which I feel is definitely post-Iron Man because of his mention of "the project" and General Ross's quip about having such nice suits) and the deleted scene with caps shield in the ice, weather they planed to include it from the get go or shoe horned it in... who knows. I think the whole "Avengers" multi film interconnected franchise came about after the success of Iron Man, If it tanked I doubt we would have any of the subsequent films. Therefore the Incredible Hulk, which would have been in some form of production before IM was released, was probably not originally intended to be part of the franchise and ended up having the Stark scene put in in post to create more continuity between the films.

A little blurry until I can set up some better lighting, but here's Winter Soldier's Falcon with my SHIELD setup so far.

I consider The Incredible Hulk part of phase 1, it was included in the phase 1 case set (Iron Man, Incredible Hulk, Iron Man 2, Thor, Captain America, and The Avengers). Phase 2 is all post Avengers (Iron Man 3, Thor 2, Cap 2, Guardians, Ant Man, Age of Ultron). You're right though, the connections are small: a SHIELD logo on the canisters used on Blonsky, Stark showing up in the post-credit scene, and Blonsky getting name dropped in an episode of SHIELD, Marvel's probably hesitant to bring up this movie because of the switch from Norton to Ruffalo.

In Stern's run in the 80's she could grow up to a 4 feet and keep her wings. So roughly 4 ft. No other writer has used her at that height with wings so It's probably forgotten.

All through Uncanny Avengers she's been flying or sometimes just walking with her wings out and at normal size. Technically when Wasp grows giant she can use her wings, that would just be a really bad idea.

Best place to buy Marvel figures online? Which online outlet is the best? Amazon,Big Bad Toy Store, Hasbro Toy Shop,Dorkside Toys? Any others? Impulse Creations used to be a great place but have pretty much turned into online scalpers and gouge on their figures.(bunch of BS their justification for the $40 Wasp) Please relate good and bad on any online toy buying experiences.
