Thanks for the info.  The two packs are $20, so I guess the Bike just takes the place of another figure.  :-\

Interesting.  You have to wonder if Hasbro saw what an utter sales bomb that All Star Avengers figure assortment turned out to be.  Especially since the Avengers Age of Ultron 2-packs seem to have been much better received. 

This version of Cap has considerably more articulation that the AAoU All Star figure.  And it's not a blatant reissue of that Winter Soldier version of Cap that came in the 2-pack.  Still, I think the Black Widow should have come with the motorcycle in the Age of Ultron line.  It fit the storyline of the movie and would have been a cool offering.  Anyhow, I'm looking forward to this release.

There is a 3.75 inch Captain America with a Motorcycle set at TRU for $19.99. Looks, well, not worth $19.99.

Saw this in a TRU store today.  And I'm getting the sense that this might be a TRU exclusive, kind of like the Avengers - Age of Ultron 2-packs were.

The Captain America figure actually looked pretty good.  Although the uniform does look pretty dark in color.  As for the motorcycle?  Eh.

I'm hoping for an Unmasked version of the Winter Soldier for this line.  The one we got in the last Cap line was kind of lacking.  But the articulation on this new Cap looked solid.

I saw it at WalMart so it isn't an exclusive

Think this is the right thread?

I finally found NorthStar today at Gamestop unexpectedly. I figured he had to be out somewhere, I see them all over eBay.

Stoked to have most of Alpha Flight now. Shaman I can live without. Sasquatch in this scale seems like a glaring omission to me though.

I was surprised to find the Vision, Gamora armored Spider Man today   First time I've seen this wave.

Found a freshly stocked case of this wave at a local Walmart last night. Grabbed Armored Spidey and left everything else (they had 1 of each and 2 Visions)

TRU

I also just found the TRU exclusive Cap & Iron Man 2-pack.  The back of the set also shows a Black Panther & Sharon Carter set. Has anyone found that yet?

I have seen that set! I even took a picture of it and forgot to post it here. I passed on both sets though they look nice, the Carter/Panther set is especially well done.

Pics are pretty big, so here are links:
- Panther/Carter
- Cap/Iron Man

I need another Cap/Iron Man like I need another hole in the head, but I'll grab that Panther/Agent 13 set.  Cool.

Just picked up Chameleon on Amazon for $11. That wave never showed up here, surprise surprise, and I actually found out about it a week or 2 ago.

Nice grab.  These are starting to hit clearance at Target now too as I saw a handful of them for $9 yesterday.

Black Panther looks solid!  As for the Sharon Carter?  A little less so.

It really is a bit puzzling why it's taking Hasbro so long to offer up some decent, well articulated versions of MCU Avengers.  Those TRU 2-packs got the ball rolling a little bit with Iron Man, Fury and Black Widow.  There was also a decent Falcon in there, too.  Ant Man was well done with the deluxe set featuring Antony, and we finally got that Civil War Cap with the motorcycle.  But we could still use a decent version of Thor, the Hulk, Scarlet Witch, Quicksilver and Vision from AoU.  And that's not even taking into account Winter Soldier, Giant Man or Spider Man in Civil War.
