Just kiddin! if you want the fig, I need a Falcon or Doctor Strange (color)- I know Doc is supposedly "super rare" but people are finding Falcon all over (damn you all!). Or SHIE agent or Hydra goon I suppose. really want Falcon though.

I'd dearly love to cancel my BBTS case at this point- all i want from that wave is those two figures anyway! I could care less about Skarr or Scarlet Spider and I have Doom.

I can't help but feel this is Hasbro's way of saying "Fuck you!" since we were all whining about how we wanted the non-Baby Hope version of Cable when we saw the figure and learned there would be a "variant" and how stupid it is to have the version with a baby strapped to his chest before it even came out and they read the feedback, they were probably like, "Huh, it's not even out yet and they're already complaining. Do they even know that the chest piece is swappable? Fine, let's just eliminate the Baby Hope piece altogether." Well guess, what? Now we get what we want and people are clamouring for the Baby Hope piece. LOL.

Imagine this really was the case and there was actually an awesome new Tony Stark figure either in a suit or a new body and they were like, "Fuck it, let's just stick an old prototype on a body we've reused a few times already to piss them off. They don't deserve anything good.........." LOL.

[thechris]

Oh and it'd be even funnier if they had a 1990s Beast all sculpted and ready but due to bitching, they actually took the time to create the other one we're getting just to spite us even further. LOL. Ooh the conspiracy. Scandelous!

My kid brother found my cable with hope and apoc in henderson,lv i have yet to find either in san diego.

Hey, that was never what I wanted! I read the comics! I know the score! I wanted frickin' Cable figures with frickin' laser beams- I mean babies, attached to their chests!

Me neither. LOL. Thankfully I preordered mine from BBTS and got the Baby Hope version.

I should have done that, i was just thrown 'cause they wanted an extra 20 on top of the usual 50 for that wave. Typically, though, I love that store. Score an entire wave, no stress, no hassle and I'm only paying an extra dollar per fig. Sweet!

[omega145]

How many packaged versions of Cable is there? Are there 3?

[atomicsmurf]

I'll keep a look out for Falcon. If I can find him, I'll let you know.

I don't think the weak distribution in certain areas has much to do with Hasbro. If stores are only going to order a case every other month, when they can see damn well that most of what they put out moves within days, then the stores lousy dept managers are to blame. I'm sure Hasbro would be more than willing to send every store five cases a week, but they need to be ordered.

I believe Cable is included with that case.

[MegsTriggerMan]

Im a leftover magnet too with this wave ... It doesnt help that none of the 2 walmarts in the area carry it either. Id be estatic to find Cable. Apoc, or Jim Lee Cyke.

Cable with baby hope
Cable without baby hope, banner on the front says has removable baby
Cable without baby hope, banner says includes figure stand

[Rexplode]

I still have yet to see any Cables at regular retail, I picked my up from a local Comic Shop and was happy to pay the $12 for him.

Congrats on your find!

I dont agree- my local Targets have put up at least a couple of case each of MU in the past month but they were both revision cases.
Add to that how BBTS has not recieved any of their order (and that must be a BIG order at this point), and I see a distribution issue- possibly something on the overseas end.

Though in some places, the managers are certainly to blame, those guys are splitting their budget with all sorts of toy lines just now- my same Target just got a bunch of the Young Justice figures and MAN DO THEY SUCK. they also cost TEN BUCKS for a 3.75" fig with no knee elbow waist or balljoint articulation. They are gonna get stuck with those just like they did Pirates of the carribbean, Tron the million wresteling figures they still cant clearance a year later.

[ludovicotek]

I'm still shocked that WWE gets literally an entire aisle at Toys R Us and MU gets maybe 4 pegs. Maybe a couple more for the comic packs. I barely see wave 13 at retail. I've never actually seen Cable in the wild. It's always Wolverine and Gladiator.

That breaks my heart man. I love these little MU figures, they murder my wallet, but make me happier than hell. Sad thing is I have never seen anything past the Ghost Rider wave in the wild [I saw a random Constrictor, but that's it so I don't count him]. Seeing a Wolverine and Gladiator would be a nice change :P

[Spacemafia]

I have a Cable with Hope.....your not the only one...

[Shin Densetsu]

Not found Cable at all. Almost all the time I see Gladiator and 1st Appearance Wolverine.

EVERYTIME I GO INTO THE STORE IT'S AS IF THOSE 2 FIGURES ON THE SHELVES, LAUGH AT ME FOR EVEN TRYING TO FIND THE OTHER FIGURES IN THEIR WAVE

Those are 4.25" figures.

My Target keeps getting revision waves too! I'm already on to try to find wave 14.
