^ I like it.

Definitely want the whole wave and hopefully I won't have nearly the trouble completing as I've had with the last couple of waves.

Bad Ass! I'm looking forward to Thor and Cage big time, and I think I'll be happy about Black Widow too. I'm not completely sold on Bucky and Cap, but I suppose I'll pick them up.

Wow, this whole wave minus Cap looks amazing. I can't wait to get that Black Widow, wash or no. And Thor looks fantastic! Bucky is a definite maybe, and Luke Cage, is, well, Luke Cage. In other words, a badass.

I'm kinda disappointed to be honest...Thor and Bucky seems to be the only ones that look good and I don't really care for either of them...

Good figures are good figures.

They're putting Thor and Luke Cage in the line, I don't think they're too worried about you. :p

Does anyone know if any online retailer is offering specials on previous waves, including 010 Wave 1? I remember Toysrus offering a buy 2 for the price of 1 deal a while back.

Blade was first.

But yeah, the only peg warmers here may end up being Cap.

Seeing as how they just recently released Bucky-Cap in the Gigantic battles line, and Fan Choice Winter Soldier is on the way in 2010, I see no reason why I wouldn't want this classic Bucky to create my "Evolution of Bucky Barnes" theme on my shelf, lol.

This whole wave will be mine. I want to do the Marvel vs DC trinity now that Extremis Iron Man and Thor are in this wave.

Thor
Ultimate CA
Extremis Iron Man

Vs.

Superman
Batman
Wonder Woman

(this is not a debate...just a display!)

I think they will only look good when they are lined up. I like all of these and I will continue to pick them as usual.

Yeah, all of these, bought.

any word as to when these will be released?

Well wave 1 is already out(that's House of M Spidey, Vision, etc. right?) So my guess is sometime in January or February. If we're lucky they may start showing up at comic shops the middle of this month.

This is an excellent wave. The best part is no Spider-Mans or Iron Mans (except that Extreme Iron Man). The line keeps improving each time...some accessories additions too like different guns and Thor's Hammer. Count me in...

It looks like the packaging for fan choice figures will be easy to spot.

Over on Cool Toy Review, the shots of the packaging show Luke Cage to have a holo foil corner marked "Fan's Choice Runner Up." So he better sell so they can keep doing the polls.

Bad ass... That's a cool little feature. I can really see myself losing that beanie and never once caring that it is gone.

Heh, I'll probably do the same, or pass it on to a Professor X figure, or some other female figure.

That Thor is sweeet. That's a definite must have for me.

I think I may actually pick up that Bucky fig as well. Just for the fact that he's brandishing dual tommy guns, that makes him awesome to me in a ludicrous kind of way.

This new wave should be out by this or next week. As always in comic shops and eBay at first.

Wait, how do you know?

I thought SW wave 3 was due before this wave and that these werent coming until Jan. Feb ish

They usually hit a week or so before their 'month of release' since that is more towards a saturation date of when they should be reaching store shelves.

It could be anytime between now and some point in january.

Ohhh gotcha.

So does that mean they will be up on hasbro.com? Or just in some local comic shops?

And btw.....when is SW being released?

Could be anything from walmart to comic shops, you name it. Depends on a lot of factors.

SW should be 'soon-ish' too. Usually it goes up on Hasbro.com first, but sometimes they are after too. So who knows.

BBTS.com is taking pre-orders for them now, albeit overcharging for em.

I usually see them at Walmart right after people online start posting first sightings. This wave will probably be an exception, though, because my local Walmarts don't get in any kind of a hurry to restock for a month or two after Christmas. If I don't find them before February, I'll just order them from whatever website that has them in stock.

How good is BBTS.com about getting their shipments in and out? On par with the comic shops or do they usually do it when "the saturation" hits.

They usually get them in pretty early. Before most stores do, though these shouldn't really show up till end of january.
