Marvel Universe Wave 18

Good point, Wolvie! You can always buy another fig and swap....but that Hulk ma have the added thigh swivel and new head they gave to the light up.
Hmmm..I may get one if they updated it- gotta make the Champion! He's a big tough moron- should work fine. If you sand the ruipped pants smooth and swap the old Toybiz head, you could have a nice Strong Guy to go with Madrox.

Anything would be an improvment on that head!

Great Idea about Strong Guy, I wondered about the lanky proportions and who they could work for and he would be the perfect figure so customizers get to it I need to see this happen

Would love to see a box set for the X-Factor from the mid-90's. Re-do Havok, Strong Guy, Feral, Polaris, and a Jamie Madrox(Multiple Man) with a trench coat.

God I hate that thought. I bet they would.....

what do you plan on doing with all of it though? Are you going to make some penultimate man cave one day and display all of it? You said you enjoy having the sealed cases. Why?

And that is why SWP is the MAN! Countless trades and the best insider info ever. I bow to his awesomeness.

clevelandhags · 05-30-2012, 06:15 AM

Anyone know if the GR or OG Hulk will be a variant of some sort?

usagent27 · 05-30-2012, 06:35 AM

just ordered my set.

That's what I was thinking, or credit at least...

Ok. I cancelled my case and got two sets with an upgrade to collector status on 1.

SH0CKWAVE · 05-30-2012, 12:45 PM

why do they call it "collector status?" Should be MOC status, or "particular collector status." Lol there are plenty of us collectors who can give two shits about packaging.

Good point. All I know is if I don't select it I get cards that look like a dog chewed them. Sometimes I cringe when I pay the extra, but am usually happy when They come. Now they put them in their own individual boxes.

Really? Ive never selected it and the cards have been great! Maybe its a curse with MOC collecting....I open....

Must be a curse. I've gotten some bent in half cards before. I open plenty of stuff, but I also keep lots moc.

Thanks! Ordered my set this morning, my first Preorder! I've always been a retail hunter until these...

A packaging variant of either would be nice if we're stuck with them anyway.

Ha ha my excuse is the price, they're almost on par with retail, and that's not factoring in the sales, but eh...

I missed the big Hisstank MU vs. Toyark MU debate!

I post in both places, but I've found myself posting in the toyark a lot more recently because it's nice to actually discuss toys. Nothing against anybody over there as most people are cool, but I like the more focused (and slower post count) here. I got too tired of going through 30+pages of spam each day.

As for the Wave 18 packout--the Wave 2 Hulk inclusion is ridiculous. If you want to add avengers love to the case, pack in a comic skrull or dark hawkeye instead.

Also, I really hope that the Miles/Ultimate Spidey ratios are close to 50/50. I want both versions and really don't want to spend all of my time driving myself crazy for something I never find like clear Strange.

Robogeek28 · 05-30-2012, 07:43 PM

Wait, Hasbro put the old Hulk mold in the same case as the new Hulk mold?

WTF are they smoking?!?

mikefavata · 05-30-2012, 07:45 PM

I'm kind've torn. I want Kraven for sure. I'd use that Beast for my Secret Avengers but keep hearing about the Secret Avengers variant. I've already got the Hulk from the Walmart pack too.

Maybe I should just order Kraven when Kokomo puts 'em on eBay and pre-order Wave 19. Wait on Beast.

That's what I'm saying, what's up with these old figures they're throwing into these cases? We better hope for some rare ones than, assuming they'll be doing this for the future waves.

I was thinking of going the Koko route too, but have a case split with Rodimus already..hmm...

I paid $20 for Guardian on evilbay, then he made it into the holiday MU cases. I'm not saying that Vision or variant Havoc are coming, but hold out hope. Also, I found an MU Skrull on the pegs last week.

Same boat as you on Guardian, although I paid a little less than that, and than bam he's out in a revision case...
