I'll get them when I get them. If they were new sculpts, new characters or already done characters in comic varied uniforms on the new base bodies, I would take a wave, twice a month. Also there is some 3 3/4 Marvel news over at Mavelousnews.

Well I am just patient person is all. I get stuff when I get it. The last wave hit in February and if a wave comes out once every 2-3 months that is fine with me. Repaints, new figures whatever a wave is a wave of figures to me.

Repaints, new figures whatever a wave is a wave of figures to me. I am fine with this as well-- I have no problem spacing out my spending (although the two problems with this is) 1) THe farther apart means less waves- which means less characters-- before people get tired of the line and it gets canceled- thanks to the modern short attention spanners. 2) The longer between waves-- the more likely sales will slow and stores will take less stock-- which in turn means no more new product or everything going to discount chain discounters... (see many of the recent star wars products and later figure waves of Joe and exclusives )

What he said. Its far, far, FAR past too long now. Theres not even a friggin pre order! Both companies are a disgrace right now.
Anyone see the case of new 3 packs yet? Check out BBTS. The new Red Hulk pack.....then the same 3 packs that just got clearanced from most stores after Christmas.
Its this "revision" nonsense thats going to kill 2 and 3 packs, and ensure the line get cancelled due to lack of retail interest.

It's nearly summertime and Hasbro is going to focus on their movies. Avengers is there big priority right now. 2 months is not long between waves as there are usually about 5-6 waves of singles per year in MU and we are only 3 months in and 1 wave has already come out.

I like that Hulk and since I don't have a Hulk that's a plus. Are this rereleases of Iron Man and Loki from the Gigantic battles sets?

Maybe where you were, but I didn't see the Psylocke wave until late January.

Picked up the AW/Thanos and Gambit/Sinister 2 packs last night at Kroger Marketplace last night-- and for only 14.99 (plus I had some coupons  )- Whats funny is they have the X Force Archangel sticker on them and I belive that promotion ended in Jan (maybe March)-- either way they have been made and sitiing in somebodys warehouse for a while..) Bad news is for the first time- I had a marvel break our of the package-- As i was pulling out sinster his right hand snapped leaving the peg in the wrist-- glued it back on-- and only I will ever know......

I apologize if this has been mentioned before, I only get a few choice characters from this line so I don't follow this thread very closely. Stopped at the local Dollar General Market tonight and saw what (to me, anyway) appeared to be a new "budget" MU line. The card style was the same but about 2/3 the size of the normal line. There were three figures, Spider-Man, Iron Man and Captain Amercia w/ shield (the only one with an accessory). Each figure was in 4" scale, but they only have 5 POA (probably the same molds as the vehicle drivers) and run $6 each (at DGM anyway).

I haven't heard anything about that. I'm going to keep my eyes open the next time I'm at DG, though.
