Is the new avengers wave even getting released over here,i asked one of the staff at FP(dublin)to check their upcoming stock list and he found nothing.
otherwise its mostly spiderman and avenger figures,they have a few MU's left and a couple of 2-packs.oh and 2 sentinel's,but they want silly money for those,last time i checked they wanted 120 euro for 1.

I have seen the Loki wave in FP, but not at regular retail. I'm starting to think about buying online as when the Spider-man and Batman stuff really gets going we might not see anymore.

i recommend buying online,But do expect one or two orders not to arrive,you will get your money back with the good sites so do not worry when it happens.i have not used paypal yet,but i hear its pretty safe to use.

Can anyone give a definite answer on wether or not the Skrull wave(4 inch)is getting released in the UK???

I've seen Loki in both TRU and the Disney Store.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but according to OrderSixtySix's newsletter Hasbro UK will NOT be getting wave 3 of the Avengers. So that means no Widow, no Hawkeye and no Skrulls.

I'd love this to be wrong, but it sounds so, so familiar that I can't see it being wrong. I'm now scouring the Bay for a not ridiculously priced Widow. No luck yet...

Hopefully we will get wave 4 or 5 (if there is one) which may have repacks. Fingers crossed.

Sorry guys i did not see this comment,that is bad news indeed

[Sector15]

I asked the question about the Hawkeye/Widow wave on Hasbro UK's Facebook page. The reply was that their Marvel expert was on an extended Jubilee break and would reply when they returned.
A couple of others on there have asked the same question with the same reply. I've added a gentle reminder so hopefully we'll get an official reply.
It's not looking good though is it.
I'm really fed up (probably like a lot of you) that we get wave 1 and 2 to oblivion and miss some of the cool stuff that comes in the later waves. Or we find bits and bobs at the Pound stores months later.

I saw them last time I was in TrU and couldn't bring myself to buy them. I just went running back to the GI Joe and Iron Man discount figures lol.

Did you see the DKR/GI Joe kitbashes over on HISStank?? They actually looked awesome,but i wouldnt pay what the stores are asking just to get the Bane/Bats head.

Heres the thread:
Non G.I. Joe Super Easy DKR Customs - HissTank.com - G.I. Joe
And heres another:
Non G.I. Joe Bane - HissTank.com - G.I. Joe

[Sector15]

They are pretty good. I maybe should pick some up because I'll want some customs when I've seen the movie.
I'm having to a bit carefull with what I'm buying at the moment with times being hard. if I buy something it has to be either a) cheap or b) I can use all of it.
I just want to throw a quick thanks to Mr Longest Day for his Tony Stark custom using a Shia head from the Indy range. I bought one and put it on my SDCC Destro suit body and it looks pretty good. Best off all it was cheap .

hahaha cool! See? Shia isnt a complete waste of oxygen afterall

I was already planning on customising those TDKR figures - but Im definitely stealing that Crossbones headswap idea :P

[proteus]

Yep i know what you mean Chris,im doing the exact same(well trying too anyway!!) Hahaha!! Iv been speaking to Krexx over on HT,(he used to be lead sculptor at SDS),he's setting up shop,and a Bane head is on his to do list,so i dont know if i should wait for that,or pick up a Bane+Crossbones figure like Ross said...that military look is pretty fricking sweet,and relatively easy to do as well.....

[Sector15]

I'm trying to hold fire at the moment and just buy stuff on clearance though I'll be all over Hawkeye and Black Widow if they ever arrive.
Other than that it's custom fodder all the way . Oh and magnets to fix weaponary onto my new Iron Man project.

To be honest I will still buy those Bane heads if the dude gets round to making em - I LOVE that mask design...I could make Bane customs all day long...Desert Mission Bane - Prisoner Bane - Night Terrorist Attack Bane - Gym Ready Bane - Chimney Sweep Bane etc etc

I bought some 1mm magnets to mount weapons 2 the arms of a figure I'm playing about with. A little dremmel and greenstuff and the work a treat and it only cost me £3 for 50. I saw someone used them to mount removable gear onto a backpack.
I'll eventually do a Spidey custom I think the new super articulated one would work a treat.

Funnily enough iv just started experimenting with magnets too,i used em to fix the arms on my miniature 3A Bertie,and im gonna use em to fix Franklyn Cypherus' WWH sword to the back of his armor.

As for Chimney Sweep Bane,that badass has gotta have a Mary Poppins Dick Van Dyke/Spike from Buffy authentic "cockerney accent"......"

Just popped into say if anyone is looking for the SDCC exclusive black and white captain America then Orbital comics (near FP london on Great Newport street) have 1 moc for £19.99.

I hope that helps someone

[Sector15]

Lee what sort of magnets are you using? I'm gobsmacked I never thought of using them before but the results so far are really good.
On the subject of the Black Widow/Hawkeye wave Hasbro UK's Facebook page has gone very very quiet. So I've asked the question again.
While I was browsing the Rebelscum forums I saw in the Non-SW Findings thread a post by Kanorjax (does he post here?).
Apparently the new Avengers wave has shipped to comic stores today. From what I can gather he owns one so should know.
Anyone out there confirm this. If not keep your eyes peeled guys. I might still get Hawkeye for my birthday .

[ChuckSass]

ugh Those Widows are so hard to get for a reasonable price. I just want one for my birthday, and I know scalpers just bought a bunch of them just to sell at a ridiculous price
