it's already been confirmed that Northstar isn't in that revision case. So far 0 Northstar figures have been found anywhere, including China.

Yes, I was in 2 stores the last weekend and saw Avengers Assemble Falcon, he cost $15, in Amazon the movie Falcon was at $38

I hate when this happens with figures!

bmorr · 03-11-2014, 07:18 AM

Ahh, then its also time to consider the future of the GOTG 3 pack, or hell, Nova.

I am all for getting female characters made into figures, but really, Aurora is one that's kind of pointless without Northstar. Kind of like if they had made Dagger but not Cloak.....

Sad but true. We've all just assumed they put her out first so she would sell and Northward was coming later. I hope he still shows up. They could have released him without making Aurora and it would have worked out because he's been solo for awhile. I think the last time I saw Aurora was in Dark X-Men and she was crazy or something. There's still hope.

Right I think that's what I mean. Northstar has been a fairly prominent, if not possibly the most prominent, member of Alpha Flight in the MU (not including wolverine of course.) Northstar has been been joined the X-Men in several stints and that has given him much more recognition than Aurora. Nothing against Aurora and I actually think personality wise she's an interesting character, but as far as team building I'd much rather have gotten Northstar first.

Haha she's actually sane now and was in Astonishing X-Men for her brother's wedding.

Just got an email from BBTS that the Avengers Infinite wave one is preparing to ship. BOOYA!

Don't care that it was more than I'd normally pay - I will have my wasp and reaper!

Ditto got the email too, I was actually hoping retail would get this first, but guess not:P Ah well it's all good.

The 3 pack finally sold out on HTS too...bout time:P

ukmu · 03-11-2014, 03:28 PM

Northstar.... comic con set with 2 other figures?
Maybe the other two 3 packs as well, Asguardians and the X-Men?
And something else BIG (like Galactus was or the Super Helicarrier) and then the Marvel Universe 3.75" is laid to rest. And perhaps even an awesome 4th item to usher in the new Marvel Infinite line????

Out with the old, in with the new scenario, perhaps? Both on an epic scale......... who knows. Just sharing a thought.

AndreWebs · 03-11-2014, 04:53 PM

Looks like I dont have to pay anything on the Avengers Infinite line cause my uncle buy the 4 new figures for me and will send them tomorrow, I guess that's good luck, hope you guys have luck find with good prices those figures

Snowbird is my favorite AF member! I would love to get a release of the primary AF team - we are halfway there if you include Northstar. Still want a Snowbird, Shaman, Sasquatch an Guardi--Vindic---uh Heather Hudson. Whichever one she is. The whole name thing with her and James Hudson really confused me as to who is who. A Marrina and Talisman would be nice as well but really, just get me those main 8 and I'm happy.

How cool would that be? Would be awesome to do that for Canadian fans. Does Hasbro even go to FanExpo? I'm guessing if the did something like that the figures would go to far more resellers than local fans.

Nice! Enjoy them.
and I got my confirmation now that my order has shipped. How exciting should be here next week and I will finally have my line up of what I consider to be the essential classic avengers.

^^^^ except Ant-Man

True enough I guess. But if I wanted to be really technical on that I would include Spectrum/Captain Marvel/Photon/nameoftheweek as well as (blech) Tigra.

But I considered Wasp to be a little more essential than all that personally. LOL.

What about the some times traitor? The Swordsman.

ukmu · 03-12-2014, 01:06 PM

I am waiting for Two Gun Kid to be made.... I could be here awhile.

On a side note....anyone have an idea as to when we will know the SDCC Marvel 3.75" (universe or infinite, depends on what it is) right exclusive pieces will be? I always forget when they announce it.

^^^^Also I need these.... any one got any spares^^^^

skywarrped · 03-12-2014, 03:33 PM

The last (?) MU wave is available on WalMart.com. Black Knight, Abomination, Grey Hulk, Mysterio, etc... Looks like they have free site-to-store shipping.

Marvel Universe on Walmart.com

kylactus · 03-12-2014, 06:42 PM

^ why dose BK say 8" tall?

soundwavempl · 03-12-2014, 07:37 PM

I found leftovers of the last case of MU at a TRU in Houston today. I picked up an Abomination and left Mysterio, Rhino, Nova, Grey Hulk, Colossus, and Thanos.

skywarrped · 03-12-2014, 07:40 PM

Good question. Several of them do. They must have a wrong description.

kylactus · 03-13-2014, 12:55 PM

so went hunting today... it was a far cry from a year ago, Hasbro is in a sad state of affairs, nu MU at 3 Targets, one of the three TRUs I hit had the Magneto Cap two pack, and no Wal-Mart's had anything. But my main complaint is those crappy swap out hero builders or whatever there called, not because there peg warming like a son of a bitch, and not because there (IMO) total garbage, its the damn display block spinner thing in the isle that screams "Hulk smash" and "my spider sense is tingling" at you. obnoxious display for overly stocked line, Hasbro is sure dumping a crap ton of effort into sinking boat. I don't remember any MU or ML displays.
