On the topic of toys, specifically MU, what states has wave 18 been spotted in? At major retail, not comic shops.

I live in Florida and my local TRU had some. I missed by a few hours, but they were there. The employee was a huge comic buff so he actually knew what I was talking about.

thats the kiss of death when an employee knows a lot about these figures especially if they got an ebay account and a 10 to 15% discount

TheDub · 08-22-2012, 08:27 AM

Probably...but there in Florida at least. Just another step closer to me finding them at Target and not getting them because I have no money....spent it all on you arkers and your BST threads....

Jason Abbadon · 08-22-2012, 09:01 AM

Where ya at in Florida? I'm in Fort Lauderdale- a couple of other Arkers are down this way as well.

tlasjr · 08-22-2012, 09:05 AM

They made it to Peabody MA. I saw the spiderman, wave one hulk and ghostrider. I doubt Kraven and krew made it to the shelves. Scalpers here are brutal.

Anybody know something like that? Wikipedia doesn't seem to be much help. Google Image is too random and usually only focuses on the most popular look.

UncannyXmen.Net - For the Fans, By the Fans

is a great site for x-men related characters. Check out the cerebro files. Under "spotlight on" Each character has a section with a bunch of different costumes they've worn. Its not usually complete but its a good sampling.

Good O'l St. Pete. Although the only LCS I have any idea that exists is emerald city, and I don't wanna drive all the way out there to find out I would have to spend 15 bucks on a single fig. =(

KungfuGrip · 08-22-2012, 10:34 AM

Ok so wave 18 has made it to Targets in Cali, crossing my fingers they'll be up here real soon then.

Optimus Vader · 08-22-2012, 10:39 AM

I'm wondering if anyone knows the answer to this (vampireheart will probably know)..

Has there ever been a character on the back of an MU card that we haven't seen in MU?

I'm not talking about the pictures of the other figures from that wave, I'm talking about the cartoon drawing in the lower left hand corner. Steve Rogers was one, Deadpool, Rocket Racoon, etc,.. well, MODOK is on the back of wave 19,... that's why I ask.

fallen69lee04 · 08-22-2012, 10:41 AM

yeah they've been in my area for 2 weeks now, I just haven't seen any because I've got scalpers or other collectors beating to them, I got lucky today I stoped by to see if I'd find any. The early bird catches the worm. Lol

Alchemist559 · 08-22-2012, 10:52 AM

Oh snap. I wonder if a team pack or gigantic battle set is in the works.

I'm a little more curious about older waves (since technically wave 21 is slated for 2013 and wave 19 is just hitting).

That's what I figured. I was racking my brain trying to figure out when Psylocke was a villainess.

According to Hasbro there is no direct correlation between the characters who comment and their appearance in the MU line….

Basically they told me to while not out of the realm of possibility, don't expect MODOK or Dazzler anytime soon.
