Also looking forward for this but then will have to sell the remaining figures, also this probably means the rumours are true and we'll be seeing Giant Man in Civil War

Really hope it's the same size as the BaF Giant Man.

I figured, but one can hope. More realistically the same size as Groot.

What 2 packs will be TRU Exclusive? Yeah stock on the TRU exclusives are always hit and miss...it's either they peg warm or not enough in supply sigh.

My understanding is the She Thor/Thor Odinson(sorry I cannot call her Thor), the Vance Astro/Valcap, the Iron Man/Machine Man...I am guessing the Captain Marvel/Kree soldier sets. I did get this information from Marvelous News but ther's apparently some contention whether it's accurate or not.

Finally found the Hulkbuster I want... But it's not articulated and expensive as balls

Ouch! I'd definitely get that if it was cheaper. $90 for a non articulated Hulkbuster with the Jackhammer Arm which kind of bothers me. You'd honestly be better off getting that knockoff Hulkbuster that everyone uses. From my understanding, depending on which seller you buy it from, it has some really nice metallic paint on it which looks really good.

You could use the $90 from that on a lot of better stuff imo.

That KO is a bit bigger than I want for my collection so this would have been perfect really. 5/5.5 is a fair size I think for a 3.75 scale Hulkbuster.

5.5" is for the regular figures in this line. Hulkbuster is 18cm

No they are not. Meijer will have them too.

yesterday mine was still empty
no comic packs?

[uberlad]

If the 2 packs are TRU exclusives, I wonder what the case break down will be? For GI Joe, they short packed Gung Ho. It took me almost six months of looking before I found one--two weeks before the line got clearanced. Collectors would grab the short packed fig and leave the rest to rot. Tru doesn't reorder because the peg warmers aren't moving....then the line gets clearanced and the people who would willingly give Tru cash don't have the option.

Just say no to short packing exclusives, Geoffery.

[Autobot_Goldbug]

NO THEY ARE NOT TRU EXCLUSIVES!!!!!

How else can I get you guys to stop worrying?

picture from a Meijer store...


for some reason my Meijer has them at the very top way out of the reach of kids

Well that's hopeful then. As I mentioned this was from another website, where even then there were contentions. I just thought to bring it up, and see if anyone could confirm it or not.

Thanks!

Thought id share a little love for the Wrecking Crew, well chuffed for picking this set up for a decent price courtesy of Pilkster, wanted these since I started collecting this time last year, great set to go with their origin story comics which I've had a few years.

[Oscarv]

It's nice to have the whole set together. Only wrecker was single card, the rest were in 2 packs and hard to track down. But well worth it.

So, had to go to 3 different asda's, but finally managed to nab this fellow. I love the paint job, nice clean lines and cool colours. The blue stands out a bit from the rest of my figures, which is cool. Articulation is AWFUL though, no waist, wrist, rocker ankles! Shame. Dude is supposed to be a trained hunter/tracker right? I'm saddened that Hasbro thinks it's acceptable to realease a figure with articulation as poor as this in the same wave as spidey noir, who had the most articulation we have ever seen on an MU figure! (Apart from cat beast) silly naughty Hasbro.

On a side note, I am VERY happy about the distribution of these past few waves. All have been readily available at local(ish) supermarkets. I think that's fantastic and I hope they keep it up.

[ukmu]

It is nice to find these in stores now Oscar. Even Wal-Mart is carrying them in the States.

I understand the articulation comment, I do. But when you said he is a skilled hunter and tracker- my mind immediately went to Daryl Dixon and I have never seen him do anything that the Yondu articulation can't do.

I'm not siding with Hasbro I'm just slowly beginning to accept them as they are. Not as what they could be. Anyway.... Yondu is who i am looking for the most as well.

When I think hunter, I think stealth, creeping in the shadows, stalking the prey. Crouching down, hiding. This dude couldn't get into that position.

I'm with you on the acceptance part by the way. I basically buy them, rip them open, have a good close look at them, see what poses I can get them in, find the most dynamic/action one I can, then lock them in the cabinets. I'm dealing with the reduced articulation, but I would prefer not to.

If it's a new character, it gets added to the collection. If it looks cool and fits in somewhere, and I don't already have it, then it gets purchased and loved as much as the next one. Points in case;

5POA;







And the record breaking 2POA figure i own



Just to drive the point home, more articulation = cooler poses = more possibilities;



Don't even like the costume, much prefer the 'classic' look, however, I LOVE this figure purely due to the variety of options of displaying him. Amazing (excuse the pun) Spiderman figure.

That only helps if they exist in your state. I never even heard of the place until someone here told me about them like last month.
