True, it would be kind of similar. Though the classic X-Men have never been done and would be Classic Marvel & Marvel Now at the same time. Plus, human-ape form Beast would be a first, as well as snowball Iceman. The rest of the parts are available to make Jean, Cyclops, and Angel. Of course, I'd hope Angel came with a Bazooka haha.

I was lucky enough to have friend get me the Masters of Evil set from last year but before it was official, it was kind of nerve racking.

2012 wasn't a great year for 3.75" collectors. 2013? It's pretty damn crazy how much awesomeness is due out. That and the Transformers Masterpieces are coming in abundance as well (my newest addiction). Money about to get tighter.

Agreed, the figures were cool "WHEN" they came out but other then that very poor distribution and releases...and then the 2 packs came in spurts, I don't even remember if the TRU exclusives were even announced at the Cons. I think in 2012 we got maybe 3-4 waves if I'm not mistaken compared to last year where every other month we got a wave.

They do have the first class of Cyclops and Jean Grey though...

Epic sadness.

Symbiote · 02-14-2013, 04:54 PM

I'd be down with an whole first class pack with the new cyk mold. Or even a phoenix 5 pack with hope summers.

This is even sadder. My last walmart to carry mu. Looks grim with only two pegs and these have been warming for awhile. Sucks.

That sucks dude.

The Fred Meyer I frequent only has Falcon and that's it. Nothing else MU.

It was a different Fred Meyer I happened to be near today that had the 5 Absorbing Mans (Men?)

You know my friends have been helping me find the Angel wave at FM, only one I'm missing now is Nova...so it's really hit and miss with FM. I would never have thought to look there though. I only go when they have great sales. Oh hey we're both in the NW, you should try TRU, I've heard the latest wave has been spotted there...

Well last time I was at the TRU at the Tacoma Mall, they only had older MU figures. Not to mention Iron Man 2/Thor/Cap America figures at $10 still and full-price light-up base figures. That was just earlier this month.

I don't have a car and am actually looking to save money for more important things right now, so I'm more of a "if I see it I'll buy it, but I'm not going out of my way to get anything new. I can be patient, but it is very frustrating when they've even restocked Spider-Man and Avengers like 4 times since the last time they restocked MU. At least restocking TMNT makes sense, since it sells like gangbusters.

if they give us classic Beast with his one mold that would be worth. Or even a snowy Iceman.

I would love another X-Men set and those 2 characters especially. I still want the remaining First Class figures that will probably never come. I need to feel better about buying that Cyke/Jean Grey 2 pack.

ALOPEZ527 · 02-15-2013, 09:05 AM

X-MEN FIRST CLASS SET one box with human beast variant furry beast frosty iceman varaint translucent iceman

Deadops · 02-15-2013, 10:07 AM

I would love a sinister six box set I would be so happy.

Haha actually you're right about that first class set I passed on it, but thinking back now maybe I should have gotten it...wonder if it's still at TRU...

jveron · 02-15-2013, 10:22 AM

this is the 2 pack that I want.

Yeah that would be nice, with the new Hulk mold though, I prefer that one for some reason then the one where his shoulders are busting out...

yeah, Mr. Fixit would have to be used on the new mold. I prefer it too, and have no complaints about its size. The torso and stiff artic on the old one always bugged me.

Very nice, I may visit my walmart tonight then, just missing Nova. Was there another case or did you buy it out pretty much?

bmorr · 02-15-2013, 12:00 PM

There were some doubles, i think. But, if i know the area I live in, i'm more than positive rest will be gone by the end of the day.
