Yeah I saw like two complete sets at a Walmart over the weekend. All the corners of the cards had been bent though.

ive only seen the red goliath. if i have the BAF giant man -- what are the merits of picking up either the red or yellow goliath in addition to the BAF? (i'm considering getting the yellow one if they ever get shipped to my area.)

i use nail clippers myself. quite effective and everyone has one (i would think!)

My TRU order finally arrived. They were the variant packs :) Unfortunately, they no longer seem to be online.

i bought the pictureless two packs off tru.com. i hope they're the stealth iron man and dum dum packs.

i got email confirmation from tru for the kree/skrull and fury/hand packs, so hopefully i'll receive those soon. now i just need to get the iron man pack somehow....

I'm not too disappointed with these choices. As a new character, Valkyrie is fine with me. As an update, I really like the Black Widow. I'd rather have this Black Widow on my shelf (replacing the fugly Toy Biz one) than some C-list character. Deadpool does look good, but I was happy with the Toy Biz one, so that I personally could have done without it. Id rather have gotten Madrox. Anyway, the true concern is what these figures will be packed with. I'm gonna cry if it's the Wolverine, Hulk, or Bagman Spider-Man. I REALLY DON'T WANT THOSE.

yeah the spider-man line sucked right from the beginning. they should just kill it if they're not going to release new characters. i have to admit though, the new red/blue spider-man looks amazing. i really want that one.

I'm pretty surprised by the obscurity of some of these characters. In any case, I'm for all of them... except I DEFINITELY do not want Hulk, Wolverine, or Bagman. In general I'd rather get a new character than a redone one, but that Black Widow looks great. The one we have is fugly.

what is this poo. this ticks me off that it sounds like they're proud that they're releasing these where only a select few will be able to procure them. they make no indication that they will be releasing these across the rest of the country. but i'm HOPING that one or both of the two outcomes follow from this: 1) they'll have so many (unlikely) at san diego that all the eventual ebay auctions will drive the price down to a price point that i deem acceptable. 2) walmart will be like OMGGGG these things actually sell!!! ppl are buying a ridiculous amount of these in san diego, maybe we should actually put these out on shelves EVERYWHERE!!!11! i WANT to be on hasbro's side, so i'm really hoping hasbro is doing whatever they can to get these out there, and are trying to use this situation as a stepping stone to lead to outcome 2.

cool, thanks for the pics. for figures that may never (and probably will never) be released i'd say it's not too much money to spend, especially if you have the cash to burn. *sigh* i agree it's been forever since i bought an ML.

I'm getting impatient. Mainly because these have already been released elsewhere and I'm starting to wonder if I'll ever see these.

I'm still very much on the fence. There are a lot of reasons not to buy them: -High price point (right now probably the biggest factor) -Hard to start over -Maybe TOO much initial product to keep track and keep up on (can be a major problem if distribution sucks) -Series one sculpts kinda suck (although series two looks a lot better IMO) But the important question is, can the toy hungry side of me resist? I resisted Superhero Squad at first, then I plunged in and bought a ton. Then later I decided to quit (largely due to horrible paint apps in general). I can see this happening to me for MU. Buy a few here and there, then go on a binge, then regret it.

In retrospect, buying Toad on clearance for $4.80. Who knew that it would be worth so much later.

I've been spending too much money lately. I don't mind a slower pace in releases.
