Damn, i just came from there. It is really slow

For dio making its great. I don't anticipate a lot of ppl buying the helicarrier due to its sheer size and affordability. Its not too terribly heavy. Some of it is soft plastic.

I also do love the shockwave tank. The accessories and figures alone are cool. Like this one.

so i guess no exclusives on hts.com today?

So it looks like the next 5 waves are:
2012 wave 1:

• Ultimate Spider-man with Miles Morales variant
• Modern Hulk
• Beast (Astonishing)
• Beta Ray Bill
• Kraven

2012 wave 2:

• Scarlet Witch
• Punisher (Classic)
• Spider-man (FF) with Paper Bag Spidey variant
• She-Hulk
• Kang

2012 wave 3:

• Angel
• Nighthawk
• Nova
• Hercules
• Puck

2012 wave 4: At this point it looks like waves are now 3 figures, since we haven't seen any more labeled as wave 4.

• Jubilee
• Professor X
• Blastarr with blasting hands variant, shown in diorama

2013 wave 1: Further evidence that waves are smaller

• Classic Rhino
• Elektra
• Mysterio

Comic packs: (Not in order)
Magneto and Captain America
She-Hulk and Wolverine
Spider-Man and Rhino
Captain America and Falcon
Dr. Doom and Spider-man
Dr. Strange and Silver Surfer

And Team Packs:
Inhumans- Karnak, Black Bolt, Medusa
X-men- Longshot, Wolverine, Rogue, with X-baby Cyclops
Uncanny X-men- Colossus (as Juggernaut), Emma Frost, Cyclops
Possible Masters of Evil 3 pack, given the tendency for SDCC exclusives to hit retail eventually.

And from the diorama, courtesy of Marvelous News:

• Gigantic Battles Ultimo, probably with Iron Man or Mandarin
• Possibly a Goliath and Whirlwind pack as well, due to artwork on Helicarrier box?
• Sharon Carter (A repainted Maria Hill, might just be a custom)
• Purple Man (repainted Destro, doubtful due to height)
• Norman Osborn (repainted Destro again)

And then for stuff that we saw at Toy Fair that are nowhere to be found:

Moon Knight and Ant Man comic pack- Did this come out in the last batch or not?

Prototypes: Most likely an Avengers team pack. Possibly just two figures and a mini fig like Guardians of the Galaxy.
Black Knight
Thor (Eric Masters)
Frog Thor

Are you kidding me? It comes with an MU sized real Soundwave? Damn I need that.

Good list Nerf! I'm hoping that Hasbro keeps the waves at 5-6. Time will tell.

I know! I think that I have a hook-up for the Masters of Evil pack so when HTS goes nuts, I'm going straight for that Hisstank. Wish I had a hook-up for that too.

Haha, I almost budged too and used my "if it doesn't transform its not a transformer" logic to save myself money. Its so easy to slip though. Glad Symbiote picked it up though. I can live vicariously through his, lol.

I appreciate that I've got a guy like Skull from Hisstank looking out for me...

Nice .. got to love those ma n pas stores in NY. I just want to go to new York one day to go check out those shops. They seem to get stuff before everyone else and are at a good price or cheaper,

Then clearly they learned nothing from last year's... incident *SMH* The definition of insanity.

cant wait to pick up my sdcc haul from my homie Do boy after work! ill post pics tonight ladies and gents

What do you expect them to do, exactly?

This isn't like hiring 10 temp employees and telling them to run a register. This is the largest traffic they'll get all year, orders of magnitude greater than the next highest traffic numbers. It's not feasible or practical to say "Hey, you should just install extra servers and bandwith that will go unused 364 days out of the year."

Servers aren't just plugged in and switched on, and bandwith isn't like saying "Oh, direct some of the cars over the grass there." They would be paying for and maintaining these all year round, and that's a lot of money for something that sits unused for 99.72% of the year, just so a few hundred people can get a few exclusives. This isn't a Black Friday for them. It's just a heavy load day. They sell the same amount regardless of how long it takes people to get them. It's barely a blip on their sales charts.

Hahahahahaha, fantastic!!

Can't you increase bandwidth for a short period of time?

Niiice haul Paul. Hey a rhyme

thanks its from ebay just search toy motorcyle and look for a 1:18 scale and then i tricked it out with flames

thanks and i didnt use ghost riders head it seemed to big for her

While your evidence is valid, it isn't conclusive. Hasbro has in the past shown future waves at cons with just 3 figures and it became 5. it is possible more could be added to this one. its even possible they might put in 2 other figures with Jubes Chuck and Blasty. We wont have conclusive evidence untill atleast the preorders. This is still speculative.

Used a 25 dollar amazon gift card I had last week to get these guys.

Cyclops is pretty sweet. I love the new body mold, this is my first figure with it. Storm is alright, it's my first female figure.

But, can anybody help me with this problem?

http://i1255.photobucket.com/albums/...7/7212248b.jpg

Cyclops hip/leg joint came this way and it doesn't fall off, but makes me nervous that it will. It pops back into place, but if i move the leg, it does this again. Is there any fix? Or do I need to just be careful?

Hope there's some abs under there. I suppose its just ebcause he's crunched over. Interesting that they would spend money on this sculpt when there was already another Rhino. Perhaps they can use this warty body for Ulik or someone else large?

they could modify him into an Abomination i guess

They're close to the importers? I would think these things would arrive west and flow east though.

so do we think the Cyke from the 3 pack with Emma and colossus/juggernaut will be completely new or a reissue/repaint of XMO Cyclops? And is there any chance for a variant 3 pack of them in their Phoenix 5 costumes?

Hey! Slots for those filler Iron Mans, Wolverines and Spidermans. Because people might forget those characters exist.

What do I expect them to do exactly? How about we start with them learning some basic, decent customer service skills? Their website can't handle the traffic and they don't want to pay to fix that issue? Fine, but then do something more for your customers than send out janky form letters full of BS platitudes

im still wondering why they havent shown the figure. But hopefully theyre going for his recent costume. I mean theyre using the juggolossus so it a very recent thing.
