When did you order your set from EE? I'm just wondering how long they take to fill orders - still waiting for the next restock of the X-Men wave to come in there so they can fill my preorder

Maybe Hasbro just took bits and pieces from different Spider-Man artists for that figure, because that spider symbol is definitely McFarlane but other parts of the figure have certain aspects from Larsen's work.

Could be. Now to be fair, the blue aside, I do think the webbing line work is a lot cleaner than it is on the pizza one. The joints are also a lot tighter and my Pizza one also has a gap between the leg and the knee joint since they weren't tightened together when the figure was made. This pretty much fixes every minor nitpick I had with the Pizza one. Man, it is really hard to decide if I want to sell this figure or not.

Wow, EE and BBTS have yet to fulfill their preorders? What the hell are they waiting for, a personal invitation? Thank the gods I found a case at Target.

Don't know about BBTS, but I didn't get a chance to put in my order with EE until two weeks ago, so AFAIK this is the preorders for their restock of the wave, not the initial stock.

Yeah they're waiting for restock is what I read on here a few pages back, but who knows. X-Men will always be hot so hopefully these get restocked at the local stores and online.

K Dubious · 08-17-2016, 09:51 AM

I preordered the same day other members got their shipping notification and checking my email I see that was on 6/30. I don't think it ever showed as in stock, still said coming in August the same day I got the shipping notification. I'm sure this wave will be available for sometime as X-men will always have a massive following.

Being patient is not something this crowd does well

but take your time man. I'm just eagerly awaiting the chance to see what's on the chopping block.

I'm an internet/virtual world/chat room/action-figure THUG...you don't really want none o' this...

Spyne98 · 08-17-2016, 11:48 AM

I feel bad that the list isn't up yet. On Wednesdays I go from work to my radio show and I only stop home to grab my laptop. I will try to get the list up during my show, but otherwise it won't go up until about 9pm (EST). I have bagged each figure individually, with their accessories so if anyone needs pictures when the list goes up, I can take individual ones. I might post a big group shot for the heck of it as well.

We're bros and all, but man, I'll take Killer Alien Turtle over Detective Bishop any day. (Don't get me wrong though, that's my favorite era of Bishop stories)

TheSerpentKing · 08-17-2016, 04:01 PM

Was out and about today picked me up an ML Venom and Rogue. Sadly I had to pass up a Kitty Pryde and Iceman but words cannot discribe how stoked I was to find Rogue and Venom was a bonus.

Cant Wait Bro.

Spyne98 · 08-17-2016, 05:53 PM

OK Kids, the link is up. I managed to take pics and I'll be adding the link to them shortly. Check out my sale thread in the meantime.

Edit- Added pics too

Nutimus Prime · 08-17-2016, 09:32 PM

So is anybody else in the Pensacola area? Moved here fully and saw a couple collectible/toy shops back when we visited family in March. Wondering if maybe there's anything else worthwhile within driving distance.

I've forgotten who was posting pics about toy swappers a while back (maybe Trivial?) but I was shopping at a farther Walmart and noticed it hardcore. BAF parts missing from 2 packages, completely wrong figures in 3 packages and 2 other packages that had random accessories shoved into the original slots. So a case worth of douchery.

Augustus_Cole · 08-18-2016, 01:10 AM

has anyone seen/mentioned these dios??

Alley
Sewer
Sector 9
Dojo

I like the Alley one best... I wonder do they actually come with something that HOLDS them up and CONNECTS them together.. It'd suck if they just sent you flat boards that you have to come up with ways to 'prop' them up.

I just watched a youtube review on their wrestling themed ones. It seems that they're just high gloss cardboard that stand on their own based on their folds. Nothing extra props them up. I could be wrong, the reviewer was more focused on adding signs in the crowd and making awful joke then actually reviewing the product.

What do you think about them? They look Ok to me

I like the sewer and alley ones best. They look neat for a backdrop, I'll admit that. However, I think the Toyhax people have better backdrops. While none are Marvel legends specific, they look pretty nice.
I really want to build a 3d diorama. That's my goal in the future.
