MU 3-packs!

Good Stuff · 08-01-2011, 10:03 AM

Canadians get bagged considering the Target 2 packs (sold here at Zellers) cost $13 and so the 3-pack should be just under $20, but I'm betting they never get released in retail at all.

But really, I don't mind paying a little more to my LCS as they need to survive and don't get the volume discounts as big retailers, however, $30 for 3 figs sucks - i would say $25 is the reasonable price for non-retailers.

I've given up on Canadian retailers for, well any Hasbro product. My area is still on Attack of the Clones wave for Star Wars. Ghost Rider wave for MU, and saw Taskmaster and Deadpool ONCE, and bought it on the spot, both of them. With HST at 12% in BC, it comes to 11.11$ for a single carded figure. For now on I am just using BBTS and be done with it. Saves my car some clicks and gas. Sure I pay a 1.50 or so more per figure, but hell, I'd pay more on gas and waste a whole day and come back with nothing :P. Plus American packaging is superior to Canadas lol

True, but sometimes driving around all day looking can be fun.

Exactly. Nothing like that feeling of finding that rare or that one figure you have just been waiting/ looking for.

deadpool · 08-02-2011, 04:02 PM

Awesome I'm not sure weather or not to get the X-force pack is it good?

Or wasting 50 bucks in gas finding iron man 2 figures, snowboard cap and arctic destro.

No word on if they are hitting retail but I've doubted them hitting retail when they were announced.

Good Stuff · 08-02-2011, 08:48 PM

My biggest gripe is the lack of stands...this should be an absolute standard in all MU products today, especially the 2 and 3 packs for heaven's sake.

So let me see if this is right, are there supposed to be 3 different ff4 packs? The one in the picture, variant sue storm clear, and then the future foundation pack?

I believe so. I wonder if the Future Foundation pack will actually say Future Foundation or still say Fantastic 4

Edit: I would still like more hard evidence of the variant sue storm before I say there is one. The pic posted up just didn't seem to look right to me. Sue doens't have any of the black lines on her suit. Or the black on her neck.

thechris · 08-09-2011, 03:49 PM

I'd better get my Fantastic Four 3 pack shipped now from BBTS before they all go Future Foundation.

Rather have Future Foundation imo :P. Picked up another Arch Angel to customize into X-Force, so now I MUST find this 3 pack!!

Have you seen the "teaser" for the new Fantastic Four? It's looking like they're almost done with the Future Foundation. You might want the F4 pack after all.

oh FFS.

Symbiote · 08-09-2011, 04:44 PM

The future foundation spiderman looks great too if you guys haven't seen the pics from sdcc. I was kinda join hoping for a full clear invisible woman.

Dylan in Oregon · 08-09-2011, 05:28 PM

anyone else like how they've got us all saying "four" "three" pack?

itMFtis · 08-09-2011, 07:12 PM

Is Thing a repaint of the older version? Is his articulation pretty restrictive, especially in the legs?

The is is the second teaser related to the image you guys are talking about. If you notice the future foundation looks like they're squaring up an opposing team perhaps we'll see some other team taking up the Fantastic Four mantle atleast that's what this teaser suggest.

bmorr · 08-10-2011, 10:03 AM
