Forgot but I saw the 8 pack with Dark Phoenix, War Machine and US Agent at TRU last Thursday ($30) and Target had 3 of the latest Marvel wave (Iceman/Beast was missing). Also, the Spider-Man vehicles are showing up at Wal-Mart, too ($10), and they also had the newest wave of Robot Heroes (movie style).
Alcatraz, did BBTS have a shipping date for the ones you ordered?
I am sooooooooooooo far behind I'm not sure I'll ever get caught up...

Don't hold me to it, but I believe the wave5 date at BBTS says November. I'm still debating on preordering that wave. We never got anything past waves 1-2 around here so online was the way to go with 3-4, BUT there are more in wave 5 we don't want (me and the kids) than we do.
Want = Black Panther, Storm, Loki, Annilihus, Dr. Strange, Antman, Rouge, Gambit, Pyro
Don't want = another Thor, another johnny/torch, another wolverine, de-iced Iceman, Ult Cap, Ult Fury.
I figure I'll break down and preorder them though.

BBTS does have them slated for a November release. I went ahead and preordered since this is my favorite line out there right now. I can't wait for that Dr. Strange.

Thanks for the links, Beast. If they don't end up here, RTM, TNI or SHT I never know they exist...

Saw the new TRU exclusive pack yesterday. Was the only one they had and was very disappointed in it. First, the paint jobs were terrible, especially yellow Daredevil. Second, I thought there would be some new sculpts, but there just all repaints. The Dr. Doom and Dr. Octopus aren't even in the case, they're just icons on the packaging. Maybe I'll get it at a later date when I find a case with a better paint job, but I'd rather focus on finding new sculpts right now then re-paints of SHS that I already have.

It's not actually a TRU exclusive. Not sure why it's marked one. In fact, for some reason most TRUs are selling it for a substantial mark-up over what you can buy it online for even. EE and BBTS are around or even under $25, IIRC. Hell, Meijer's has it for $20 instead of TRU's $30. As for the repaint issue, it doesn't bother me that much with this line. Considering for the most part they make sense. Dark Phoenix, FA Daredevil, War Machine, U.S. Agent, Comic Spidey, etc. I'd rather them do a variant boxset then try to do running changes in the SHS line. The only problem I have with the line at all is the numerous Spider-Man figures they keep releasing. Sure, most of them are new sculpts... but I don't need 20 Spider-Man figures just to get the 20 villains. I wouldn't mind so much if it was different Spidey costumes.

Iron Spider Spider - Ham Zombie Spiderman Ricochet, Hornet, Dusk, Prodigy Scarlet Spider (Ben) Spider Man 2099 Negative Zone Spidey Spider Armour There are a lot of pics at this thread... http://boards.ign.com/spider_man/b6322/115379215/p1/ I wouldn't mind them giving us a couple of these alternate Peter Parkers, alternate costumes just to break the monotony.

I don't know about Zombie Spider-Man in the line... But exactly. There's so much potential, but we keep getting the same Spidey. Thankfully there's another Black Costume one coming up. But it's just a "repaint".
