Hey SWP, you should hang out with me over here....

[Ninjinister]

Shouldn't feel too taken aback, mate. This is the internet, after all. A lot of us have been so burned by misinformation that it can be tough to take new information without the most concrete of proof.

Any word on Wave 8 of the Comic Packs?

Will Ant-Man/Moon Knight be part of it or will it just be Doctor Strange/Silver Surfer and Captain America/Falcon?

Haven't heard a thing about that Ant-Man set since SDCC 2011...

And the Comic Packs will fail if they keep up with the amount of re-packs in them....

MU Thread @ ToyArk kicks ass. It's not about post counts, spam (though I DO enjoy some good spam), pr0n, inside jokes, cliques, and trolls.

We talk toys and hook each other up. The Tank today is a shadow of its glory days, especially the MU thread.

Tank can be whatever it is, I won't hate, but I love Gi Joe and MU. Love 'em! I lurked here and there for a year, gave Tank a try but settled in here. Less competitive here, relaxed, like a real community. Those over there like it though and more power to them.

Back to thread topic, I'm not sure if I want Beast. I want classic Beast, Showdown isn't what I'm looking for. Although, he is articulated out the wazzu!

I'm sorry your experience over there wasn't what you'd hoped it would be, but we're a good group of people and I've made a ton of deals there.

Hopefully I'll find that here too.

As I said, there's a world of difference between a person saying they personally know a thing and someone else saying they know a guy that knows a guy- we just had a troll post over in the big thread saying much the same- and there's no shortage of chicken littles decalring the line is cancelled or whatthehell ever.
If preorders go up on Tuesday, your word is gold, but though I dont know you, I'll take you at your word. Anyone trying to pass third-hand rumors though gets a raspberry.

Quote:

I do believe that Hasbro is sitting on inventory, including Waves 18-21. I think that in addition to their not wanting to compete, ie planning to release product so that it dovetails with the end of the Avengers line, they also simply may not have the capital to actually pay the factories for the inventory. That last part is speculation on my part, but only because of the "Leaked" Wave 21, New Avengers Team Set & Helicarrier.

You'd think they'd be swimming in cash with not paying distribution on the GI Joe movie this year.

Quote:

Now stuff can be leaked specifically to piss off Hasbro and try to force them to pony up, or more likely, just sold out the back door of the Factory.

..

Quote:

I don't believe there were any "Ins." Stuff was either stolen from the factory, there was an extra run of product samples at the factory during that phase of Hasbro's process or they were sold out the back door and made it to the chinese run junk shops in NYC. There's a lot of hate here and I admit on my part in some small way its probably got a lot to do with jealosy. Man I wanted those figures too and had I been able to answer my phone when my buddy called, i'd have them now. I missed out and I'm disappointed. Let's keep an eye on how many more that guy lists, but it seems like he's shopping in the same neighborhood as my buddy. Look you walk past a shop and in the window they have 3 figures you didn't think you'd see until hell froze over, you might just go in and buy them all, he is after all sitting on a Gold Mine, huh?

Just the fact that YOU know this stuff shows there are people with info to scalp- not you personally or your friend, but I doubt whoever is scalping these on ebay got them fromsome random NY shop. That's way too much coincidence for a scapler to have stumbled on them.
And yes, it seems a LOT walks off the factory floor and onto ebay- several Arkers have bought Red Hulks and clear Invisible Woman figs in the last week alone from chinese sellers. Obviously Hasbro has some ebay issues.

And NO- there is not "a lot of hate here"- if you really become part of this community you'll see an insane amount of love and hookups for every arker- we watch out and get stuff for the community all the time- you wont find a page in that 975 page MU thread with anything like what you're talking. Hell man, we just had like four pages of "Happy Birthdays".
I've never seen such a cool community.

Quote:

But I would expect Wave 18 to start shipping by the end of June, 19 (or whatever the next assortment will be), end of July, then end of August for the remaining wave.

I believe we will see a variety of revisions through the Holiday season, with the first wave of 2013 showing up for the Holidays, just like Wave 17 did last year.

We all want that.

Quote:

I have to add, I have heard NOTHING at all about the line being canceled either before the unreleased waves have been shipped or after.

Sure, but consider that we have all seen people post that noise- and they all say the same things you're saying about personal info, etc.
It's not hate that we doubt such info when NO toy news site has it, it's just smart to take it with a big grain of salt.

Quote:

I did and I didn't do it in a favorable way, for that I'm sorry. The Tank is my home, well the MU thread to be specific, but I prefer to share my info in a place where its welcoming.

First, you did nothing wrong- your pal Wolverine there stated all this stuff without so much as mentioning you, so when I called "Bullshit" it was because he provided nothing to back his statements up with- and neither do you really, but a firsthand account is worth believing whereas anytihing else is not credible as nothing so credible as a name was offered.
Bad Wolverine: No cookie!

If you turn out to be on the level, great- or if you just want to participate as a fan, you'll find us more than welcoming.

Quote:

Hopefully I haven't offended anyone, if so, I apologize it wasn't my intention and if you're ever looking for a fun group of laid back MU fans who talk about everything, visit the MU thread on the Tank....

HISSTank and "Laid back" = DOES NOT COMPUTE.
I dont think you've done anything more offensive infer we are haters, but that's nothing- I think I speak for the community when I say, we'd love for you to join in the fun as a MU fan.

No inside info or news required.

[Saint Phe]

Quality posts right there, Paul. Thanks for the info.

Thanks, I'll continue to do what I can. And if anyone is looking for anything MU or SW wise, send me a PM. I've got great feedback on the other site, Wolvie and Evil can vouch for me. And I've got a ton of stuff.

At the risk of coming across like an elder statesman, I remember when you started posting in the HT MU thread. I know almost everyone in your beloved thread and anyone who knows their HT history remembers I, along w a small group of others (luna77, solid.wii, pig iron, doomtron, riot control, cobraninjah, weapon X, etc) helped make that thread as popular as it is now on a Joe centric forum. So much so we tried to launch a Marvel sect rpg to battle against the Joe/Cobra rpg, only to be shot down by Echo whatshisface and "the stuper Mods." The same era where all these Marvel Universe sig banners were born. You can tell the O.G. crew by the "series #" on said sig banners.

The MUtant Movement, as it was called, fled to new pastures - marvelousnews and ToyArk - becuase your beloved HT did nothing but kick dirt in our eye.

Long ass story short... been there, established that.

That said, ToyArk is the new pink. I hope you enjoy your stay and look fwd to your contributions.

(Btw, I recall you had a child not long ago and shared your news w the MU thread over there. You see, I do know you. Lol. I too just had a son and shared the news w all my fabulous friends in the Marvel 3.75" Appreciation thread. I hope your child is well!)

So the mods got to be too much at ht or some mu members? Sounds like you had a really bad experience. Just curious.

The old crew together was the best. But it is what it is...we each have our favorite forums we like to frequent, and I believe we all still help each other out no matter what forum we participate at. Besides, for the most part don't we all just post on the same 3 forums anyways?

As for Pauls cred, I have nothing but the utmost respect for him. Every deal we have done has been smooth sailing each time.

Whether we are on HT, TA, MN, or all three, I still think of everyone as extended family.

Long live MU!

you'll always be the coolest cat in Alaska to me, CH.

always good to see ya, Chris.

Oh yes...the Vision-gate of AK! Our Fred Meyers JUST Stocked wave 17...as of today...I like how sometimes they are behind the ball on it, gives me chances to snag some figs I may have missed!

You should visit Fort Lauderdale then- you can score a dozen of each figure from 17 in an afternoon.
Maybe twice as many Patriots and Iron Fists!

S'allright- you're cool. I'd never heard of Paul before he posted in this thread so the name would have meant nothing to me anyway.
Sorry if I came across as snappy- I'd rather hear nothing than unverified speculation, as so many trolls tark trash to get a rise (not saying you or Paul, just in general).

Hasbro should really get ahead of rumors and speculation and just tell sites like Toyark or marvelousnews or whatever what's going on- a little fan support goes a long way towards brand loyalty.

Now that poor Stature and O'Grady have both been killed, I want Scott Lang back in the saddle.
