Wait, what!?! Ayo comes with multiple heads!!! So, in effect, we're getting a black... female... army builder. Say what you will about the MCU figures, but it's gonna be a looong time before anybody has the big shiny brass ones to try that in the comic line. Well played Hasbro! ...it almost makes up for blowing a valuable slot in the Riders line with Deadpool and a Vespa.

Because his movie made 8 gazillion dollars.

I'll definitely take Ayo (and any other Dora Milajae they wanna throw my way. I'll get Klau, but mainly just because I like having a few "civilians" in my collection. The call-back to ToyBiz Wasp really means nothing to me. It just so happens to be a "Must Have" by its own merits alone. Love the gimmick of the Wasp with a mini Ant-Man and Ant-Man with a matching mini Wasp. It's little "winks" like that that make the Has' #1 in my book. Hope the rest of the news is as good as the little teases here.

I can live with that. As of now, my wallet's running on fumes. Until my next check arrives Friday, I'm taking a break. Right now my plan is to snag the Apocalypse wave when it goes live on BBTS, then take my chances in the wild with Sauron and Monster Venom.

Wasn't prepared for another big purchase, especially after dropping 1 and a half bills on the Sp//der wave this afternoon, so after reading this (thanks for the heads up) I figured I could swing a Typhoid Mary. I try to submit my order and get an "insufficient inventory" notice. Typical, the bloody thing sold out while I was making the order! Sooo, I drowned my sorrows by ordering the Wolverine Bike set.* * 'Cause I'm a dirty, dirty toy whore...

After cancelling twice as a preorder, I finally broke down and ordered the Sp//der wave from BBTS. Would've gone for Dorkside and their free shipping, but I've actually ordered from BBTS before... plus they actually have it in stock.

Sounds like somebody may have remembered what comics were originally meant to be. If so, I'm all for it. Bring 'em on!

Wait, so Marvel is basically giving IDW license to publish comic books based on Marvel properties? That's the stup... wait... Actually, given Marvel's record of late, that's a pretty good idea.

Sadly, this is nothing new. Dry spells are just a fact of life in toy-hunting. If it makes you feel any better, Mysterio not withstanding, the Lizard wave has been easier to find in brick-n-mortar than any non-movie Spidey wave I've seen in a long time.

More to the point, it's become a scalper exclusive. I paid $40 bucks for a Mysterio off Amazon (cause I'm a schmuck), and the Sp//der wave is almost that bad. The only etailers who don't pimp-slap you with a ridiculous mark-up are HTS, though their shipping is ridiculous and they NEVER have anything in stock, and Dorkside, but everything they have is in "preorder."

I REALLY want to want this one, but I just can't justify all that green for a single figure.

The only people who thought the first series was "lackluster" were dipsticks who were expecting Avengers: The Series. It was never meant to be that. That being said, yes, as good as the first season was, the show has gotten even better as time goes on. High points are the shows unique slant on Ghost Rider, Deathlok, Mr. Hyde, the Inhumans, Graviton, and a (sadly brief) recurring gig for Jamie Alexander from the Thor movies reprising her role as Sif. Of course, it's not all sunshine and roses. The first half of last season kind of left me cold. Without giving to much away, there was time travel and a lot of time spent in space to cash in on GOTG V.2. Not my favorite moments in the show,

IDK about Cali or the East Coast, but here in Central Arkansas, I'm finding sweet fanny. Normally, I'd chalk it up to it still being fairly early in the release process, but I had similar luck with Infinity War and Black Panther before that. I can find Solo and Wrestler figures out the wazzoo, but anything else, I might as well be shopping for "! Love Trump" T-shirts.

Mainly, I only want Colleen. May buy the set and just sell off the rest, especially with that Luke and Claire set coming soon. Then again, I may skip it altogether and roll the dice on those Danny and Colleen set rumors being true. I'll have to think about this bad-boy for a bit.

Agreed. With distribution at an all-time low-point, scalping at an all-time high, and the worst scalpers being "legitimate etailers," the modern collector has enough to contend with without having to compete with shoplifters, repackagers, barcode switchers and whatever other ways steaming piles of human feces can find to make life difficult for honest people.
