While I haven't gotten an email about it, I just checked the status of my order, and it finally says that it shipped as well.

I'll believe it when I see it, but I'm happy to see any change.

But I'm with you, Walmart's still on my crap list.

Since SugarMan is so dang big I figured I better have a back-up plan for him on the AoA shelf if/when we get that wave 2 and he has to get bumped to make room... So a Morbius head, some 40k Warhammer orc bits and a little sculpting- TaDa! Reduced SugarMan! If you've read the AoA you know that SugarMan- if destroyed- will begin rebuilding himself, hence: tiny SugarMan!

Thanks BB- I was just going to order the HerolClix version but apparently he's a "rare" and goes for $50+ (ouch!)

The thing that prevented me from ever picking up that Rogue wasn't the eyes but the awful hole in her head. That's why I hope they do a second retro X-wave with her in it but use a new/different head for her appearance when the headband's tie-off wasn't up front. Maybe the retro wave Dazzler head would work.

Q Prime · 05-20-2020, 12:24 PM

Hello folks, wondering which combo of two out of three of the new Gamerverse figures to get?

And yet people can find her in stores.

First and last time I preorder from Walmart. Especially since they've "pre-authorized" the payment FOUR TIMES since she was originally supposed to ship back at the beginning of April.

Yeeezus.

I just received my Gray Widow today. The one I'm waiting on is IM 2020 from Walgreens... no update yet apparently all over stores.

I've got the Heroclix version in my fodder bin. Guess I need to dust him off. Great job on that CUSTOM.

Yeah, I hear you. Depending on how good or bad it is, it can look like Rouge has a tumor growing out the side of her head. Mine's actually not too bad, actually.

Robb · 05-20-2020, 02:42 PM

I got my grey Widow in today as well. Looks great.

Nice- I always go to HeroClix for shrinking characters- when I thought about SugarMan I looked him up and was surprised that he was in the $40-$50+ range... I'll only bite when they are under $5 shipped.

sh002 · 05-20-2020, 02:56 PM

Nice pic and cool and creative custom.

Got my 2 Grey Widows and AOA Morph, Sunfire, Dark Beast, Wild Child, Jean Grey, and Weapon X. My 2 X-Mans and the rest of my second set should be here soon.

usernamedustin · 05-20-2020, 10:43 PM

I couldn't bring myself to pay the crazy price that a basic buckycap repaint goes for.

Dodge76 · 05-21-2020, 01:31 AM

I got grey Black Widow as well in the mail and to the person that said they can run through Walmart's Garden Center, you can't. They will let you exit there but not enter there.

That was me, and yes you can. I haven't been through during the pandemic, so it might not be that way right now, but at least three of the closest Walmarts have two-way traffic at the garden center - hell, they have a second set of registers either in or near the garden center.

That Cyke looks great!

I took the "clothes" off all my Sentinels too- didn't really dig the puffy jacket look it gave them...

Walmart's site has Loki from the Smart Hulk wave on rollback for $9.87

I've ordered 2 of him now after completely skipping him when he released "Not MY loki!" But I got one to push me into free shipping and I actually really enjoy the figure (once I swapped his pony tail and gave him some ShangChi hands)

Yeah I kept passing on him but for $10 I'll pick him up

Thank you. Looking at it now, I realize that I forgot to put two stripes on his sides. I didn't seal it yet, so back to work on it today.

I snagged a Loki for $5 because one Target near me randomly put the Hulkbuster wave and Cull leftovers on clearance. It's by far the best $5 figure I have ever got. I gave Loki the sword from the $5 Malekith.

Boy Blunder · 05-21-2020, 09:46 AM

I honestly like Loki for how... not great he is

he's very much a Silver Age Loki, to go with the 80th Thor

Harbinger · 05-21-2020, 11:10 AM

Just got my order in from Dorkside toys. The X-Factor Havok is my all time favorite version and while yah his hands are a bit smaller than should be ( im guessing as an homage to the old toybiz pre-legends figure ) its still great to have this version of him.

Dolemite · 05-21-2020, 12:24 PM

I love that version of Polaris. I picked up one myself.

Oh, and look what came in the mail today:
