Was talking to my comic shop guy and he won't be getting the two packs in for another month :-\  I'm hoping to pick up that Strucker as I'm not a fan of that version of Red Skull.  It's easy to pass on given I have the other version already. 

I'll also take the opportunity to state yet again how much Canadian retail sucks. 

We're not getting the Walmart wave up here (again, thank you Scott);

I don't know if we'll see those two packs - we saw tons of the Spiderman and Punisher/villain2/villain3 two packs, but didn't see the versions with the Abomination.  So no idea on the success of these, I guess it's predominantly up to TRU since Walmart sucks so very badly at the moment.

FF Classics are obviously not coming up here either.  Thankfully I found Impy at the comic shop, but the Skrulls were all spoken for. 

VTSC, to drift off topic, has yet to arrive in Canada anywhere at this point and the Geonosis/Coruscant waves have been rare to this point.

Collecting karma pays off!  A buddy of mine scored me the entire Giant Man wave minus Sabretooth (which I already have) and Thor,  and even got the Sentry variant.  Trading pays off!

I stopped back at WM this morning and picked up a little more, even though I shouldn't have probably ;).  I picked up Havok from the WM Series, the Hulk vs Leader Face Off Pack (never had a Hulk in the collection), and the Marvel Masterworks Spidey set just because I'm a fan of ol' webhead.  Things seem to have sold a little since yesterday, as far as the WM wave goes.  I think they still had at least 1 of each figure though, although I didn't have time to look too closely.  I'm tempted to pick up Sentry, Captain Britain, and Warbird, but we'll have to see.  The 2 packs seemed to be about the same as when I picked some stuff up yesterday, and I was half tempted to get the variant DD/Kingpin set just to have the "Matt Murdock" figure.  I think the Masterworks set I picked up was the first one they sold though, not too surprisingly.

I can't find the Walmart wave anywhere, not even a remnant to prove that they exist and aren't just a figment of my imagination.

Not sure if anyone is still looking for this, but Amazon has the Spidey Fearsome Foes box set on sale right now for $19.98.  Just thought I'd post in case anyone was still needing/wanting this.

Also, I was curious, with all this stuff starting to show up at Wal-Marts - what are you (or wanting to) picking up?  Are you getting the entire WM - Giant Man wave, are you picking up all the Face Off packs (with variants), are you grabbing either of the box sets or Masterworks sets?  I was just wondering what everyone is picking up in this big mass of toys.  Its been tough for me not to go crazy and get about one of everything, but budget keeps me in check a bit.

Well i went to Walmart only to find out they had everything.  :-[ I ended up picking up the Monsters box set and the Young Avengers eventhough i had no intentions doing so. Someone was nice enough to pick up the variant DD/Kingpin and variant Cap/Baron set for me, so that was awesome. Now all i need is the regular Hulk set and the regular DD set. No need for the others. Hoping my case of Walmart figures comes soon.

I'm just limiting myself to Havok, Kitty, Warbird, and Sentry from the WM wave. Considering I have yet to see any of them, that might be a longshot. If the rest hang around for a while, I might pick them up, but considering how fast I've heard all of them are disappering, I might not.

I'm skipping the boxed sets, and I might consider the two-packs. I'm for sure buying DD/Kingpin, though the others look mighty tempting.

I stopped by Wal-Mart on my way home for lunch this afternoon, just to check if they still had any of the wave in stock (Sentry in particular).  I did find and pick up the last Sentry, and it looks like these have sold through pretty quickly.  There were a few left - a couple Sabretooths, 3-4 Ant Man, 1 Thor, and 1 Warbird - that I could see.  For some reason, Ant Man really seems to be sitting the most of anyone in the wave so far.  I wonder if this will be a hit and gone wave, or if WM will continue to stock it?  The basic figures were pretty much gone, as I said, but they still had plenty of the box sets (looks like one sold), plenty of the Masterworks sets (I think the Spidey one I bought is the only one gone), and quite a bit of the Face Off 2 packs.  The regular Kingpin vs. Daredevil set is sold out, but the rest seem to be there.  I'm still tempted to get the variant DD set, just to have the "unmasked" Murdock, but I've spent way too much the last two weeks.  I don't have a Red Skull yet either, so the regular Cap set is tempting too - even though I'm not as big of a fan of that Red Skull look.  Anyways, has anyone heard if this wave is expected to restock?  Just curious.  I basically have what I want I guess, although Warbird and the other 2 packs are kind of tempting to pick up too.

Here is a good spot and in the Classifies section. At least in here if you are missing something we can help you make sure the list is complete.

Finally found these last night. I wasn't going to buy a full set, but I am now. I scored Sentry and his variant, Kitty, Warbird, Havok, and the Weapon X variant.

All my store got was the PDQ cases, which meant they have a ****load of Sentry, Captain Britain, and Weapon X, plus a few each of the variants, but they don't have very many Kitties, Warbirds, or Havoks. I got the last ones of those three.

No sign of the two-packs yet, but it's not like I can afford them right now anyway.

It seemed like the quality control on this wave was much higher than TB's usual. I didn't have to hunt for decent paintjobs, like I usually do.

Well, this morning I'll be picking up almost the entire Giant man wave as the result of a trade.  I'm curious to see which Giant Man parts each figure has.  I already got Sabretooth which comes with Giant Man's left foot.  I'm getting the entirety of the rest of the wave except for Thor.  Now from what I understand one of the variants has an essential piece of Giant Man.  Not sure if it's Sentry or Wolverine.  Guess I'll find that out later, and find out which piece has the duplicate Giant Man part.

Has anyone verified which figure comes with which BAF part?
