Nope, no Fantastic 3 sets.

Cool, you get any? What's the price, and how's that gonna translate into a US price?

I didn't get any. The price is somewhere around US$40.00. From experience stuff here costs around twice what it costs there.

Jebus, dude; sounds like it's almost worth your while to have somebody over here mail you stuff instead of getting it yourself.

Oops my mistake. Should've been US$31.00. Still almost twice what it should be in the US.

BTW, the TRU exclusive X-Men First Class comic packs are also out.

How do those look in person?

I didn't think they were exclusive. I saw them at TRU here in MN over the weekend. The Wolverine/Sabretooth pack is nothing new. Cool if you didn't want to dpring for Sabretooth initially, but nothing to get excited about. The Jean/Cyke pack is very nicely done, I just don't have any interest in those costume designs. Not sure if the Jean head is new or not. If it is I might get that pack for parts.

The First Class 2pack is the lamest MU offering yet, imho. Jeez, we couldn't have gotten somebody other than the exact same 2 characters that are peg-warming already? Then, there's no way those two bucks are of teen characters. Cyke should have been done on Bucky, and Jean should have waited for the presumably-slenderer X-23 buck. This set is a complete waste of space.

The Dr Strange/Scarlet Spidey/Dr Doom/Skaar/Hopeless Cable wave should be out in the US soon :shifty:

Did they replace Falcon with another Cable for this wave?

That'd suck.

Actually quite a lot of stores got wave 13 here. Cable & Cyclops are always the first to go. Then Apocolypse & re-issued WW Hulk are next.

what's changed up w/ the WW hulk? tighter/better joints?

AdrienVeidt · **Joined:** Tue Jun 26, 2007 10:19 am

Nothing's changed, he's just carried over into new waves. However Skaar is basically the same fig with a new head and gear.

I think Skaar uses the Juggernaut body, like the 1st appearance Avengers box set Hulk. The WW Hulk has a very distinctive grooved texturing to the skin that the Skaar figure seems to lack.

Falcon is still in the wave. I'm not sure of how the cases are packed. Was the Hope-less Cable a variant available alongside last wave's Cable with Hope? It's the first time I've seen Cable without Hope.

PlasticYank's right. WW Hulk is textured all over while Skaar uses the FA Hulk body.
