I wonder is Hasbro broke! They did 2 waves of ML back to back within weeks, but no new Marvel U????? They at least had 1 new wave by this time last year.

the new MU wave 18 (with beast, hulk, spidey, beta ray bill, and kraven) is coming out now. Plus I'm sure they didn't want to over saturate the stores since the movie figures were coming out as well ::dunno

The thing is, stores in my area have a place for MU... that sits empty or half full most of the year. Wave 18 is about 3 months behind when it was supposed to come out. I'm not sure whether this was planned or if their factories just couldn't do it all at once. Who knows. All I know is that it's been forever since there have been new waves. The last wave that was readily available was the crap wave with Magneto/Iceman/etc.
So it's REALLY nice to have some new stuff coming... I just wish it wasn't all so late in the year. I wish they could keep their schedule a bit more spread out.
I do hope they keep MU going strong. I have seen some rumors about it possibly ending, which I'm just blowing off as fan rumor as the line seems to do well... when they have actual product in stores.

the scarecity of it comes from retailers not wanting to support a toyline that does not have a movie associated with it, or a tv series. that's also why we get Marvel universe toys released with the marvel movie ytoys as "comic series" figures.

Anyone gonna subscribe to the digital comics To get that Dr Doom figure? I did subscribe a few years back to get that Fury figure, but this time you have to subscribe for 1 year

nothing special there.
That's just a repainted Commander Rogers head with a Infinite Gaunlet. I can make the same figure for $15

Anyone seen the Kraven wave or the She-Hulk wave. My son is flipping his lid to get his hands on the new figures.
I was able to pick up a Spidey / Rhino 2 pack the other day for him at Toys R' Us...

I know this site is predominatly about 1/6th love but I have to say I have really feel back in love with the smaller scale as of late as the quality has increased tenfold, while the prices on 1/6th make it tough to collect.
The MU line has amazing leaps and bounds....the Toys R Us exclusive X-Men X-Factor Boxed set is a perfect example of this.
You can now get great sculpts and detail in smaller lines at a lesser price point if you've quit the 1/6th scale.

I know a few people on the board collect MU stuff either for themselves or their kids...
Anyone had any luck finding the "Bombastic Bag Head Spider-Man" variant? I've literally hit every Wal-Mart in Fayetteville every morning after I drop my son off at school, for the past week. Every one of them get in the new figures, including the "Future Foundation Spider-Man", but no "Bombastic" variant?

I saw one at a show; A-hole scalper wanted $60 for it.

Yeah, most of the scum bag scalpers on eBay want $50+ for him, but there is good news. One of my fellow board members over at the Minimate Multiverse said that the Prof. X / Jubilee wave just came out in his area, and Bombastic was packed about 3 to a case, so hopefully those scalper prices will get more realistic in the near future...

The only two figures I'm looking for in that wave are Blastaar (regular or clear 'blasting' forearm/hand variant, doesn't matter), and Professor X.

No Prof-X or Jubilee wave here in Northern IL were just not getting She-hulk wave.

The last wave around here is the Beast, Beta Ray Bill, and New Hulk.

People are asking $20 and up for this figure on EBay, but I bet in a month or so he'll be warming the pegs like Guardian is around here now.

Anyone have good ideas on displaying these figs? Thinking about something similar to a wall mounted glass cabinet, 4 inches deep or so with dividers.

I'm looking for the Inhumans box set now and still looking for an Angle and Nova from the Sasquatch wave, had to finally get Professor X of Evil-Bay (would still like to have another and regular Blastarr).
Anyone interested in any Variants, Skull Warrior (opened), Scar (Son of Hulk) Iron Spider-Man (translucent plastic), Iron Patriot (Norman Osborn head), Dr. Strange (clear Variant), and Yellow Jacket/Ant-Man (unpainted face)?

Hey Dollmanron, I've been looking for a Dr. Strange clear variant ever since I let one go at the local comic book store (had it in-hand but figured I'd get it later, then the store closed down and have never seen it again except @ $55.00+ online). Willing to pay a reasonable mark-up, though, if you're looking to sell. Let me know.
Reminds me, will have to hit a couple of comic book stores and see if I can find that Angel and Inhumans box-set. Kind of annoying how they short-packed Angel. Have been looking forward to that one since it was announced but just don't want the full wave.
