Finally broke down and got a Venom off Amazon completing the Monster Venom BAF, impressive BAF, wouldn't have minded a slightly more monstrous Venom, but it is very eye catching as is. Also if anyone still needs one of the Venoms and waited like me, it's around $18 on Amazon right now.

I've been flipping over it since the first promos, Daredevil has been consistently strong and D'Onofrio's portrayal of Fisk is top notch stuff.

I'm sad to see it go, but I signed the petition. I don't think it was ever the strongest series, but with the character's history it has a lot more room for growth and good stories than Jessica Jones or even Punisher, probably Luke Cage too. I haven't finished the second season yet, but I've enjoyed it so far. If what it sounds like is true I definitely want some closure to Danny's character arc if that doesn't happen by the end of season two.

Wow...I hate scalpers

Did anyone actually manage to get an order in for Thing? It keeps emptying my cart for me when I try.

The other consideration is that Thing will probably be in higher demand for longer than the Surfer, because not only do you have every FF fan wanting one, but also every ML collector that has been along for this long strung out release that Hasbro has gone on. So yeah, maybe a few months down the road he won't be hard to track down. But of the previous three FF members, the last one I saw in any quantity was Human Torch, saw maybe a dozen Invisible Women before she was gone for good, and not a single Mr. Fantastic, still.

Luke Cage 2 pack came in. Can't help but wish this 2 pack had been Luke and Danny though, to round out the main Defenders cast. The Luke figure looks great though.

I wouldn't say that, depending on where you live and how many Walgreens in the area that's not necessarily true. In my area he's still pretty rare, despite the fact that I got my order from Walgreens.com when others did in the first wave.

Luke Cage and Claire 2 pack is back up on Walmart.com

I definitely want a Nightcrawler re-do, more than just about any other character, but for this re-do to work it needs the right stuff: -Two interchangeable heads, one serious, one laughing or grinning. -Two sets of hands, one that's either for gripping or punching, the other relaxed for wall crawling. -The tail should have bendy wire, but if not it needs to be sculpted in a relaxed pose that doesn't mess up the more dynamic poses. And absolutely no articulation points. -Bonus points for this figure if it could have teleportation smoke effects or some sort of smoke cloud effect. -Either his classic or utopia costume, not picky either way, but the utopia era costume would go better with Colossus, and you can best believe they're going to be posed side by side in my collection. Other wants: -Classic or First Appearance Storm - Jean Grey (Jim Lee) re-do, the old one's articulation and head sculpt need an overhaul. -Thunderbird -Cannonball re-do -Pixie -Sunspot -Cypher -Magma -Emma Frost re-do

For everyone that's waiting for Silver Surfer to hit stores be warned, both my "local" Walgreens were marked online as having him, and neither one did, so best of luck, even had them check the back. On another note, Sauron wave is going to be delivered later, and while I'm not crazy about the wave at all, that BAF, can't wait!

Thanks for the heads up!

I figured it wasn't, but I could have also missed it, thanks.

Nope, I heard somewhere that September is the release, so I imagine they'll start showing up at the end of the month. Is Super Skrull actually out? I haven't even seen a reveal, besides pictures of it in Walgreens' database.

Sauron Wave shipped out from BBTS yesterday. I feel like it's the light at the end of the tunnel now that this and the Venom wave are shipping, a small break with less figures all streaming out will be nice.
