FYE has the vintage wave 2 on sale for $19.99 I grabbed Hawkeye and passed on Antman but thought about it pretty hard.

Thank you for the heads up!

En Sabah Nerd · 03-12-2019, 01:43 PM

I don't think I trust walmart enough to pre-order the Corvus pack but it's good seeing an estimated release date at the end of this month since I do really want it.

Struggler · 03-12-2019, 02:15 PM

Idk, if the Hercules is as out of scale as it looked in some of the pictures I saw before, then that's a hard pass for me which is a shame since he looks pretty good.

MarvelGuy85 · 03-12-2019, 02:17 PM

Finally ordered the glaive 2 pack at walmart 🙂

Walmart has never let me down with pre orders before. I got comic thanos and the vibranium black panther exclusives that way.

Brownfinger · 03-12-2019, 05:09 PM

Hnnng, missed my chance to pre-order them.

"Sorry, sir!"

I really love that 2 pack and I really hate it's a walmart exclusive. Grrr. I really hope it comes back in stock or pops up in the store (yeah right).

I have the fig. It's true, he is smaller than he should be. That said, the fig is larger than Namor/Wonder Man while matching the height and girth of sdcc comic Defenders box set Cage - a fig that sports platform boots. The sculpt detail is the best I've seen to date for comic Legends. The final determinant will be Thor. If the Odinson is taller and more stout than Herc, then I'll be forced to note it as a colossal failure despite the incredible sculpt. Hasbro is definitely hitting some very high notes with figs like Herc, but they are also engaging in odd scale flubs (Apocalypse - not a dealbreaker, but annoying to me, Sentry - equally annoying, Herc, Beta Ray etc).

Edit: It should also be noted that Herc is sporting height enhancing boots.

A couple of other Walmart exclusive two packs (the ultimate Vulture and First Ten years Iron Man sets specifically) wound up readily available online at amazon so I'd like to imagine this one will follow suit. We all know Corvus is the only real draw since the Loki is just a redo of the Ragnarok figure (with, hopefully, a much better face) so I could see there not being much mass appeal for the set due to Loki.

SymbiSpidey · 03-12-2019, 07:26 PM

Don't know if any of you guys saw this but the Disney-Fox deal will officially take effect on the 20th.

X-Men and Fantastic Four finally coming home!

Or preordered something.

Anyway, so I 100%ed the main game of Spider-Man yesterday and I now wish Hasbro had given Doc Ock posseable arms be it bendy wire or just flat out had them fully posseable because christ was Doc Ock badass in this game. Not only is he my favorite version of Ock thus far, but he's now become one of my top Spidey villains.

The last FYE around me closed up just over a year ago.

Loving that display! Gotta ask where you got the belt for Iceman? I'm changing a Vision over to an Iceman too but I need a good belt.

WTF? Amazon canceled my preorder but still sent you yours? That's bullshit (on their part, not yours).

Amazing display you have there.

t was a cast part. I ordered it off ebay a very long time ago when I first made this IceMan (it may have even been someone here that recommended the seller) But I have no idea anymore who it was...

Thank you, Ser- Yeah, I had to fight with their Cust.Srvc dept for a while before someone applied a courtesy credit to my account for the difference in price between the order they canceled and the "in-stock" Prof.X another seller had. I think i ended up paying $38 for him taking into account the $30 credit.

Captain Nash · 03-13-2019, 08:15 AM

Sigh. I see the Deadpool with Vespa riders series is in stock on Dorkside, but the set of two with Professor X is still estimated for March. Also no singles for Professor X. That is just weird. I mean, I know there would be be more Deadpools than Professor X as I THINK it's a 3-1 ratio, but in stock vs preorder is odd.

Augustus_Cole · 03-13-2019, 08:51 AM

anyone order any of those Kickstarter Army Alphas.. only a couple days left..they are funded.. i was just wondering which ones i actually want if i decide to order.

I haven't yet...but when I do...it'll most likely be the civilian forces like the SWAT officers.

I'm on the fence. Usually not the one for collecting nameless army builders, but I'm really liking the look of the blue SWAT guys & Mystique could do a lot of damage with that weapons cache add-on.

i think i want two of the digital camo soldiers (deluxe)
and two of the night ops swat guys (basic)

if they hit 65,000 i want the weapons pack
if they hit 70,000 i want that all stealth ninja

yeah..i was on the fence too..but i'd HATE for them to be shipped (over a year from now) and then people are posting pics and vids and then i'm kicking myself in the arse for not getting in now.
Worse case scenario...if i don't like em..i'll sell em.
