I have terrible news for you: they got full cases, but someone has already grabbed the "good" stuff. have you been wiping out an entire retail chain? I have 2 on my way home from work and both only ever had the Antman/Ares. 1 of which is wiped out already and reset with those playmotion things. I haven't personally wiped out any stores (as PsychoPirate can attest), but stores received full cases. At $5 a pop, I can imagine scalpers/customizers/collectors could tear through a store's inventory awfully quick. For example, I purchased 9 Valkyries, 4 Cyclops, 4 Omega Reds, and 2 Ares, and barely made a dent in the Newnan's store inventory. There were literally full pegs (8-12 figures on a peg) of each character remaining, and I didn't even touch any Deathloks, Antmans, or Beta Ray Bills (which would have been in the dozens).

Haven't seen it mentioned here, but the Valkyrie, Ares, Deathlok, Antman, Astonishing Cyclops wave is hitting 5 Below stores en masse.

And, yet, I and countless others will buy it.

Superior Spider-Man would be a fairly simple design and would make sense.

Black Bolt and Lockjaw is pretty obvious. Second one I'm stumped. One of Starhawk/Charlie-27 and Bug/Mantis (to keep the GotG old and new theme going for complete teams and the three dots of the Nova Corps outfit)?

"Deep" history? It's Crab People. It's always damn Crab People. But seriously, I'm guessing Mindless Ones. Ties in with the Dr. Strange movie and they can reuse the Abomination/Rhino buck.

Cannonball, Exodus , Modern Storm, Morbius

It's official: http://pulse.hasbro.com/en-us/news/article?article=gi_joe_fan_selection Congrats wedge1968!

Marauder Gun Runner's line of figures is pretty fantastic (great value for the basic figure and customization opportunities galore), and Boss Fight Studios line of figures is the stuff of collector's dreams. Between the variety of figures (the first wave is based on Greek myth and cultures, the second is fantasy, the third is sci-fi), they are also producing basic bucks intended purely for customization. Both lines feature tons of articulation and paint apps, and the cost is right in that $12-17 range but with a lot more accessories/customizable items to boot. If Hasbro wants to lower the quality of their figures, there are certainly other companies looking to compete for collectors' dollars.

Gonna go with ROM on that one.

I went ahead and got one off eBay for $16. I really just wanted that head and the sleeve arms, and I figure I can always find a use for the rest of the parts. Hopefully the rest of the set will come up soon so I can decide if the entire pack is worth buying.

I'll take a look tomorrow while I'm out. EDIT: No luck at either Target, TRU, or Walmart.

Too bulky and squat for Coulson.

Any idea what number Northstar may be?
