ikr? I didn't get anything of the new waves but I did get a nice batch. I ordered on the second and back on Jan. 8 I checked the tracking, and it said the order had arrived in San Francisco. I figured that they'd be here today but the tracking info still says it's still down there in Cali :| The anticipation is driving me nuts.

Hercules and deadpool are one of my favorite team ups

Snowflakian · 01-10-2013, 04:30 PM

Jeez, and I'd be happy with just finding Jubilee already...

Oh who am I kidding, I won't be happy until I get Nova too. xD

Bloody hell. Mail can be a crapshoot sometimes, eh?

Even worse, me mum ordered me two of the TMNT classics figures on Christmas Day from Amazon, from somewhere here within the states, and they still haven't arrived yet. Estimated arrival? Jan. 22 - Feb. 4!!?

I'm trying to hold out on Jubilee. Waiting until I see one in the store so I can double check the QC before purchase. Not that it'd probably matter if it was the last one.

I got her from a buddy for 10$ like blastaar variant.

I ordered the last WM from happychinesefoodsales

awesome comic warmachine

FancyPants · 01-10-2013, 10:24 PM

Put hercules next to deadpool on the shelf. His loose legs made for horrible poses. This one works out great.

Nice!!
I know the feeling setting those guys up. When one falls it messes up the whole display and shot. Especially if the surface isn't flat.

I made it out of some wire, hot glue, and clear orange paint. A crap load of hot glue. I think I used like 10 sticks.

Magneto looks great. I have both of those Mags and never thought to swap the head out.

Went to Target last night for some tools, walked over to the toy section and came across a Cyclops/Phoenix 2 pack. I was a little surprised...did they re-release this or was this pure luck, maybe a return?

Either way, I wasn't going to look a gift horse in the mouth and I picked it up since I was without a Phoenix. Score!

Optimus Vader · 01-11-2013, 10:19 AM

Sweet pics, Symbiote. Wherever that is, it looks very tropical.

I'm not sure if that packs been re-released, but like you said, Phoenix is a great figure. At a certain point I got tired of not having her and I think I paid probably what you paid for the whole CP, for just her.

It was in wakanda. Great place to visit.

But really it was in Costa Rica. Went for a friend's destination wedding back in Dec. And yes I brought some toys with me on vacation because I'm down like that, lol. I couldn't resist not passing up an opportunity to get some good photos out there.

Torpedo · 01-11-2013, 01:16 PM

Has anyone actually purchased the most recent figures from the last two waves (Prof. X / Blastaar wave, Nova / Hercules wave) at a retail store like Target, Wal-Mart, or Toys 'R Us?

In the greater Kansas City metro area those types of stores have not restocked Marvel Universe figures in quite a while. I got the Beta Ray Bill / Kraven wave and the Scarlet Witch / Kang wave from BigBadToyStore.com and that was only possible due to the revision case that included both waves.

I'm not prepared to pay the inflated online prices for the newer waves, especially since I don't want certain figures. I worry about my ability to keep up with this hobby.

bmorr · 01-11-2013, 01:25 PM

i have a feeling the prof x wave and nova wave will be lumped together when the reset happens.

miketime · 01-11-2013, 01:42 PM

Yeah all I see are revision figs clogging the pegs at WM and Target. I'm hopping Benny's will put out the Prof X wave first. We've been waiting over a year for this fig. I will buy every one I see.

BTW jackieboy great job on the Nova flames. looks legit.

What is this reset I've heard about? Is this a thing?
