So, I'm not really into the new F4 figures, BUT I honestly see positives about this. Like some of you mentioned, getting some of the F4 was a lot of hoop-jumping (I was lucky, the only one I had to outsource was Ben). Which means that there were some people that never got them, or had to debate if they were worth aftermarket prices. This gives those people a chance to get them, but with them being altered enough that it isn't just the same release as the Walgreens ones.

I'm definitely in on Doom and Jen, and my wife wants the new Sue, but the rest don't call to us. Walgreens Ben is perfectly fine, Reed's creepy salad fingers bother me, and while Johnny is very nice, I don't want/need a Johnny Storm figure when I have Human Torch.

But, as always, anything X-branded is locked. I'd really rather a different costume for Sunspot, BUT I get that they seem to be intent to finish the 90s X-Teams, so the aesthetic is fine. But I do hope that Warpath doesn't nix the chances of Thunderbird getting a release (and, likewise, I hope they don't just include a TBird head with Warpath - Johnny and Jimmy are different enough in both build and costume that I'd rather not get a TBird figure at all than get an 'almost as good' replacement.

As for my guess for the F4 BAF? Dragon Man is a good option, as is a new Annihilus. But my personal hope is for an Awesome Android, because dammit, I want Awesome Andy from Slott's She-Hulk run!

Here's hoping.

I still want a Ghost Rider wave with a Dan Ketch and Robbie Reyes GR, Mephisto and a Johnny Blaze GR with a new body and either Blackheart, Vengeance or a new Hell Cycle as the BAF.

Was it absolutely necessary to make me hunt down Walgreens exclusives first?

I see your Graviton (which I've vociferously clamored for more times than I can count) and raise you a Molecule Man. About the struggle and FF figs at Walgreens, I found them surprisingly easily. One of the lucky ones, for sure...

If we get Molecule Man can we also get Volcana?

[Cezarion]

Man. It seems that I have move to the USA to get all the figures I want...

[SymbiSpidey]

We're getting so close to completing these 90s X-Men teams. I love it. We just need:

90s X-Force
Feral
Rictor
Siryn
Domino (we have her but not in the right costume)

90s X-Factor
Wolfsbane (wrong costume)
Random

Excalibur
Meggan
Rachel Summers
Captain Britain (wrong costume)
Shadowcat (wrong costume)

There's other minor characters you can throw in there but these are the core members. That's like a wave and a half of figures. Siryn would probably fit best in a 3-pack with 90s Banshee and Black Tom.

Spidey, you just gave me an idea for the Design a Wave thread...

Ohhh, most definitely. But if we are hitting couples and diverging away from FF...if I induldge your intriguing selection, will you grant me The Precense and Starlight? As a Defenders fan, I've also been requesting this set of paramours (after a fashion) for years....and it also would satisfy ariellagunas' (mine as well) want for the female Red Guardian.

What was her deal exactly? Was she the mom to non-Zemo V?

[ariellagunas]

If my memory serves me well the femail Citizen V was Dallas O'Riordan, later called Vantage.
I think she was a government liaison to the Thundelbolts.

[ariellagunas]

About the new reveals, I liked them and I will get them all. But I would have prefer the FF with the white and blue, and She Hulk with FF costume ala John Byrne.
I can't stand Liefeld's X-Force, but the figures look great. The shoulder pads In Warpath are freaking weird. If he had an alternate head and you remove the pads and the pouch belt, is a pretty good Thunderbird.
But it would be nice to get Syrin, Rictor and even that ridiculous Feral.
Excalibur I could see as a box set with Cap Britain, Kitty, Meggan, Phoenix, Swashbuckling Nightcrawler, a decent Lockheed and Widget.
Thunderbolts needs Atlas, Fixer, Match X and Jolt.
Another want of mine would be a Horror or Hell set with:
Dracula
Werewolf
Classic Satana
Lilith Daughter of Dracula
Damian Hellstrom
And Mephisto.
Oh, and a 70's Blade with Afro and safari jacket ( to be reuse in Wonder Man).

[ariellagunas]

Just realised that new Sue head will be perfect for a Magma on the NM figure. I will use Emmas old head for now. That is if I can get five Dani's ( for Illyana too).
My mates in NY are looking for Dani like mad and finding empty pegs where Dani should be. It frustrates me all those sellers on eBay selling her for three times the price. I hope there's an avalanche of her and we can all get as many as we like.

I am just sticking with the Fantastic 4 Family I have.

Awesome. But no hunting here ordered Havok 2 Pak and Jean 3 Pak. Just need to be delivered.

[EvilMonkeyPope]

The Alpha Flight set has disappeared from Amazon?

[ariellagunas]

It has. Hope it's not cancelled. It's my most wanted set in years.

My pre-order is still showing up but it is weird that the item page is pulling a 404. It feels like it's way too close to the release window for them to cancel it this suddenly and without warning.

Same here , though will definelty get Doctor Doom , without hesistation though if there is a BAF i would be interested to see who it is, I'm guessing SuperSkrull as that was rumored agess ago.

also im going to predict due to hasbro being at MCM london , where they release some United Kingdom themed hero i.e captain britian or union jack. I would be astonished if they said oh lets go across the border to ireland an reavel Siryn ! I think she might be next , I say this due to her being part of classic X-force and had enchounters with deadpool. I also think this as sunspot and warpath just got revealed part of the deadpool wave as well. Hasbro would waste a grand opportunity if not; they seem to be finishing teams off i.e Alpha Flight

I think it'll not be pulled and will be fine, but having the missing item page come up is unnerving anyways. Can you imagine the massive amount of frustration and disappointment if it got cancelled? In a year of so much goodness the Alpha Flight pack is literally the best item being released this year, at least for me, and probably because 4 of the 6 figures were all very high on my wish list.

I do think if on the off chance it did get cancelled from Amazon, Hasbro would find a way to get it released somehow else next year.

[Dr Kain]

More than likely it's just Amazon being Amazon. I'm not willing drop $110 on the set. I'll wait for it to go on sale for around $60ish. Though honestly, I wish Hasbro would stop giving a scumbag retailer like Amazon exclusives.
