Sorry if this has been asked before but when are these due in the stores?

I've been waiting for a NOVA minimate since the beginning of the mates line.

I'm hoping for an old school New Warriors set with Night Thrasher, Namorita, Speedball and Justice. (since they are doing Nova and already released Firestar that would complete the original six.)

According to Diamonds web site Estimated Availability Date: 11/12/2008

Unfortunately, Nova is in his Annihilation duds, not his classic costume which he wore in New Warriors.

Speedball really should have been a part of the Civil War box set.

I know I would have loved a classic version of Nova but I guess beggars can't be choosers. As long as they keep producing more Marvel characters. I agree, Hellpop on the SPeedball front.

They finally released Wave 23 and 24 at the comic shops although I found all of Wave 24 at ToysRus the last couple of weeks minus the Tarantula variant set. I picked up the NOva and Gamorra set and they had one Tarantula set at the comic shop I go to so i picked him up too. He was selling it for the same price as the other figures which was cool for 7.99 so i've complete with Series 24. I'll pick up the rest of 23 soon as I want the James Rhodes Iron Man first.
