Boog_ACBA interviewed Hasbro on Galactus being a troop builder figure. Dwight said its the base to build even bigger Celestials. Think of how Edie Brock Baf made a bigger Surtur. Galactus will build big Celestials. Though it may not be the pinnacle in height, you can still center Galactus in your collection, at the center of these,

I'm calling Hasbro for an extension. If enough of us can do the same maybe it can get the Unicron treatment. In fact, nothing says it has to fail to get an extension. Instead of a failure, a success often commands an encore,

Yup, I got the same email about Iron Man except delayed to October. I just canceled the order, I don't have time for shenanigans

Sataninjaku · 08-31-2021, 09:12 AM

Anyone else that ordered the Amazon Wolverine 5er get a notice that it'll be arriving a month earlier than initially stated?

TheBlueMarvel · 08-31-2021, 09:14 AM

^^Yes, I received that email.

ThorOdinson123 · 08-31-2021, 10:47 AM

I know Thor is in stock at Target and Gamestop but they both charge $5.99 shipping which is way to much in my opinion I think I will just wait it out with Amazon

They delayed half of my AoA order and I'm not sure why. Shouldn't the whole wave be delayed?

Yeah, that was weird, which sucks as I'm still not sure I actually want it.

Why? I don't see the point of canceling an order until you have one already in hand.

Why would they need to extend something that hit two and a half times the needed goal?

ThorOdinson123 · 08-31-2021, 11:56 AM

Man Amazon makes no sense.

Iron Man Thanos 2 Pack September 1st release

Rescue Cap Marvel Two Pack September 1st release

Stain and Iron Monger Two pack September 1st release

Thor September 17th Release

Iron Man Mark 3 and Surtur October 1st release

Odin is available via Amazon

Quicksilver by Scalper not in with amazon

I'm a pretty patient person and don't mind delays but in this case it's just a camel/straw thing. Half his accessories are useless, I'll be having to repaint from head to toe, and he costs $5 more than his compatriots. Having to wait another two months is just the tipping point for me... he's not worth it

I'd go with Target and just add toiletries to my cart until it meets the free shipping threshold, I believe it's $50.

Gamestop has a free shipping amount as well, but I can't remember what it was.

Sabretooth looks to be a large boi.

Just like an encore, people may want more.

TheBlueMarvel · 08-31-2021, 04:08 PM

That is tracking kinda large for Creed. I wish Strong Guy was closer to the foreground to get a better idea. That said, Juggs is huge and Sabretooth isn't much smaller than him.

Questions abound. I wonder if the fig is the size of Warpath, or equal to/larger than Thor. Maybe even the size of Colossus? Seems like the Wrecking crew will very likely use many pieces from this fig and hopefully so will Skurge and possibly a new Beta Ray.

In any event, looking forward to this fig as my second most anticipated of the wave in front of Legion and behind Colossus.

I get what you're saying but it always seemed to me that the art in the storyline depicted him a bit larger than the 616 Sabretooth. I have no real idea why since it's the same individual so to speak, and it was probably just artistic license, but to me it's fairly accurate. He's actually my #1 most looked forward to figure of the wave, but I am looking forward to them all.

Just need the Horsemen and a few others - Storm, Nightcrawler please Hasbro! - The horsement though. all four. I'd love to have them all and the fact they haven't yet revealed/hinted at even Nemesis is telling...I really think we'll get a third wave, about a year and a half from now, like the first wave was a year and a half ago.

I wouldn't even know as I've only ever flipped through a couple of issues of AoA circa whenever it came out; my point of reference for 295 Creed is from Exiles. I'm more curious about what this mold is going to be used for moving forward than I am about any size inaccuracies specific to Sabretooth. I'm even wondering if the height was exaggerated/fudged a little to provide a template for other more highly anticipated characters with that build.

jwyss234 · 08-31-2021, 05:07 PM

Preorders for the Eternals wave and Kro will go up for preorder tomorrow, September 1st, at 1 pm EST.

Ah, that's a good point, and yes I'm thinking they likely did size him up a little to make him a more compatible template for other characters. Like you though I'm wondering who. I would say Hyperion but while the muscle mass works, he's a bit too tall IMO

Oh! The Wrecking Crew. They're probably on the horizon for redo. But again, I'm not sure about height there, but that seems like it could be a good base for 3 of the 4 - Bulldozer would probably need something different but I could be wrong.

@jwyss234 - thanks for sharing that info! Still hoping they show us a comic Sersi at the same time, so I can just forgo the one figure from that wave, but I know that's not going to happen. Just wishing, and until it maybe does one day, the MCU will have to be a stand in.

I’ll wait for that entire wave to hit clearance. If I’m guessing wrong, I won’t be mad about missing out. I wish I did the same with Shang Chi.

Captain Nash · 09-01-2021, 08:04 AM

The Sentinels must have arrived or are about to arrive at wherever the endplace is Hasbro is shipping them from. Got an email about starting the process of shipping - a general email to all backers.

We may see tracking numbers but don't be alarmed if there's no movement on it right away - guessing they're getting the tracking down for all of these first and then shipping, or maybe just doing batches.

Super exciting though!

Shinzero02 · 09-01-2021, 01:35 PM

Is it sad that I'm still hoping for another Spider-Wave that includes Into the Spider-Verse's Doctor Octopus and Peni+Spider-Mech? Kinda annoyed at the basic figure I have of them when its next to a bunch of legends on my Spider-Shelf.

I don't think so, we'd also still need a matching Noir.
