I don't know, but I'm just going to let my preorder for Archangel cancel and get it from somewhere else as they will only update my credit card if I call them. They won't even update it through email. What kind of archaic bs is this?

Yay Noir has his revolvers!

Guy threw in an extra Cable looking pistol.

EDIT:


Just need the arm from Scream, a Select Anti-Venom, Black, FF, and Scarlet Spidey and I'm done with Spiders.

Hmmm? My “confirmed, paid for and shipped” Thing didn’t arrive today. Tracking just shows “Exception Item not received from sender as of 3:30 pm today” while Walgreens lists it as shipped on the 20th. Not happy!

[Trivial Psychic]

Speaking of pre-orders arriving and being shipped and what not, my Mandarin/Pepper/MkXXII set charged today. Should be shipping out tomorrow. Excited to finally get my hands on that cancelled Mandarin from all those years back!

Let me get this straight. I ordered mine an hour after SymbiSpidey who lives in my city and he got his on Sat. Archangel was told by Walgreens that his order could not be filled but he got his Today. Mine wont arrive till tomorrow sometime. That's just very weird that it is taking so long for mine to arrive.
Its been in HUTCHINS, TX for 2 days now. On its way to Houston.

[Archangel]

I was shocked as hell to see it on my porch. I never got a shipping notification either.

Way out of my price range is where.

Though I forgot to mention that I do want the set with him and Gwen later this year.

[jmurray90720]

I just found a Reed at Walgreens, all this anxiety about Thing and I’m still months behind. There’s still like 6 Kamsla Khans at my Walgreens too, and no one else from that wave. 6 cases came through and they left Kampala every time. I really wish Marvel would give up on that character.

[kenm2474]

Spider-Ham Acquired.

[En Sabah Nerd]

I'm kinda surprised that Spider-Ham is the one figure from the Venom wave that I've yet to see in person. I figured that due to his size and lack of full articulation most people would wait to see if he goes on sale.

[DarthKamen]

Scream is the only Venom wave figure I have never seen.

I'm cool with Hasbro giving us more modern looks, but they have to know what people actually want at this point.

At the same time, I think Marvel might be telling them which characters/costumes to do figures of (likely to promote their own books), which is how we end up with stuff like the Red Goblin instead of the Classic Thor and Loki everybody's been asking for for years.

I guess my beef with some of the modern figures we get is that those looks really don't last long. By the time we actually get the figure, the character is either dead or in a different look, rendering them obsolete in a collection. I'd rather get characters in the looks that have stood the test of time.

It’s been Hasbros formula lately though, and ya gotta admit it works, release a less desired version or look of a highly requested figure, magneto, havoc, dazzler, colossus, storm,kitty pride, etc. fans will clamor to get it, but in a year or two we’ll be chomping to get 90’s havoc, classic magneto, outback dazzler, Jim Lee storm, classic colossus, etc. but if they put out a definitive version of a character it makes the less known, or popular versions peg warm. For instance, I can’t think of another version of wolverine I need for a while... unless it’s horseman death. and if they don’t give us another Deadpool it’ll be too soon.

I can understand why they wouldn't through email, but you should be able to on their online site and if you can't that sucks. I ended up cancelling my Arch through them as well though and just going with BBTS since I have a POL going with them already. Will be interesting if they do the X-Force variant down the line. What's the difference between this new Arch and the one they released a few years back on the old card?

Paint colors are slightly different and non-metallic (though the wings look more metallic silver than the old ones), and he includes a claw-hand accessory for the Apocalypse BAF, and four heads: standard, Death Mask (the gold skull-like mask he wore as the Horseman of Death), cowl-less (with full hair), and evil cowl-less (blank white eyes with dark shadows around them). All repaints of existing head sculpts.

And I really wish you'd either spell the name right or just give up, but here we are. I gotta live with that, you gotta live with the fact that Ms. Marvel is one of their best-selling titles in the past few years and has proven to be popular enough that, five years after her first appearance, she's one of the headlining characters of Marvel these days, and small occurrences of her figure lingering at a store here and there are indicative of exactly jack crap.

So there we are.

(Incidentally, Walgreens doesn't always get the same case layouts, according to the manager in charge of toys at our Walgreens - sometimes it will be a standard wave case, sometimes it'll be a random assortment of figures, which is why a lot of Walgreens suddenly started getting figures from the Abomination wave, but mostly just multiples of Wonder Man and Captain Britain, rather than the whole wave)

Archangel also has the flat Carnage feet whereas the original had the leathery Bucky Cap feet

”Best-selling titles” = moves fewer units than a Power Pack PSA comic from the 1980s.

Single issue sales don't show the whole picture, y'know. There are lots of comics that sell poorly per-issue but do gangbusters in trade paperback/volume form.
