Cool! Ive got a Bill...but Im tempted to get a Hulk and Kraven (still using my Incredible Hulk err....HULK for my avengers setup )

[Jackieboy]

pulled the trigger on these guys.and yeah the MU is here.

btw thats miles morales spiderman,pic quality makes it hard to see.

[MGTAJ]

I don't get my student loan payment til Friday; my local FP best have them then

Edit: Anyone know when we'll be getting the second wave with Kang and Punisher?

[Jackieboy]

funny enough FP rang me today about these,this is what you SHOULD expect FP to get in.
Beta ray bill,kraven,MM spiderman,Beast and the latest Hulk also in the case are re-ish's of Ghostrider and Hulk(series 1) they said they are expecting in more stuff next week.but still no sign of that FF 2 pack

[MGTAJ]

My local FP today when I was in getting some comics they had been holding for me, had the 2 packs that all UK stockists seem to have. The only Hulk pack there seemed off in colour to me. Question - is the Iron Man / Thor pack new?

EDIT: Another Question- There is no difference between FP and FPI, is there?

[Jackieboy]

The modern Thor/ironman pack has been around for a while now.its most likely a re-issue.i seen it warming the peg at my LCS.also regarding the Hulk/wolverine 2 pack,the 2 pack version is a lighter green and the pants are a lighter shade than the single card version,that's a much darker colour.

[Jackieboy]

as far as i know some FP stores operate independent to FPI,i heard that the FP in Belfast is one such store.But FP dublin does receive stock from FPI,you can always ask the guys is glasgow about incoming MU stock,just mention that they have already got them in stock and on sale over in FP dublin.hopefully they follow suit.

They do indeed operate seperately. My FPI also had Ghost Rider.

But i know you would not say no to an antman/moonknight 2 pack and maybe perhaps a doc strange/surfer pack

[Jimmyo]

I would probably murder for a antman 2 pack lol. what makes the surfer 2 pack better than the single carded ones?

[Jimmyo]

If the surfer is chrome then take my money hasbro dammit lol

i think both figures vary in paint scheme to their single carded counterparts.
i have the "clear" surfer but foolishly gave away the single carded version as a gift last year

[Lionheart]

Is that an ML Wendigo?

We have the Clear surfer and the one from the single pack but we passed on the white one from the classics tripple pack but I would like the chrome one from the original Galactus pack

[Tiberius]

So it gets to the UK before it gets to Canada.


Lucky bastards lol.

They have to pass through ireland before they reach the UK

[Tiberius]

Still confuses me. No reason why Canada shouldn't have them by now..

FP isn't mass retail, it's a comic book store. It is a chain though.

[Jackieboy]

hasbro and their weird distribution methods,we miss out on alot of stuff here and when it does come in,we are at the mercy of ridiculous pricing.just happy that we see anything at all.

[Jimmyo]

Kapow have wave 18+19 in stock guys go go go lol

Thanks for the heads-up man! They'll be getting ordered when the Student Bursary comes through tomorrow

[cellardoor]

Good on you for spending that on toys, they'll last longer than 40 packets of super noodles!

Just had my pre-order with Star confirmed as dispatched.
FF Spidey, Scarlett Witch, Punisher, Kang and She-Hulk should be in my grubby mitts by the end of the week!

Looking at the two Star is cheaper than Kapow but both are pretty darn good considering the lack of options.
You can't go wrong with either IMO

[Zictor]

I found some of the new wave in Canterbury's 'Whatever Comics' Picked up Beta-Ray bill, passed on Kraven, decided to go back for him and someone else got their hands on him... not to mind I found an issue #1 of Spider-man 2099 so that made me happy!

You guys know anywhere else in the UK that stock new MU at retail? Going to the MCM Expo in London next month and I'm hoping to pick up a few there but other places to look always help. Since Tesco and such places stopped doing them.
