It was a good issue! Al Ewing is a talented guy.

Looks like three preorders going up this week, per Marvelous News.

• X-Force 2-pack (Warpath/X-23) - Wednesday (3/12) at 1pm EST
• Spider-Man '77 - Thursday (3/13) at 10am EST, Wal-Mart exclusive
• Spirit Spider - Friday (3/14) at 10am EST, Wal-Mart exclusive

A little annoying that the two Wal-Mart exclusives are releasing separately. Single carded exclusive red and blue Spideys don't last long, and '77 might sell out before Spirit goes up. If they go up together I'd order 1 of each; otherwise I'll let Spirit Spider pass and see if I can pick him up later.

I really can't see either of these Walmart exclusives being in high demand. 70s Spider-Man is fun and everything, but we already essentially got the exact same release. For a Spider-Man, it's a vastly inferior release - body wise. 

I love that Ghost Spider and won't be able to resist that one.   Instant purchase.   The 70's movie Spider-Man I'll wait and see if I can get it on sale later.    

And of course the X-Force 2-pack is a must buy.   Upgrade for X-23 is a no brainer.   A Warpath upgrade is welcome too, frankly.

First time in a while that WM Collector Con doesn't have any ML I want. Nice!

Definitely agree that it's an inferior body, but red and blue Spider-Men don't seem to hang around much these days. I won't be surprised to see it sell through.

I'm very curious to see if it does. How they both do.

Have there been any Target sightings of jumpsuit Professor Xavier in the wild yet?

My Silverback sense is tingling.

Not that I've seen. AND Target has pushed back the release date by a week.

I'm guessing Electro is now scheduled to hit/go live the same day - 3/30.

Well, got the order in for the X-Force 2-pack.   I honestly don't mind the X-23 from the Sasquatch wave,  but the X--Force Warpath from that old TRU 2-pack probably did need an upgrade I guess.    And I'd already ordered the Archangel, so...

I wonder if there's another X-Force pack coming with some net new characters. If these are supposed to represent the first version of the black ops X-Force team, I'd love to see a pack with grey/silver Wolverine in the first version of the costume, Wolfsbane, and Vanisher.

They've made enough of the group that I'd like to see them finish it off as well. Wolfsbane, Vanisher, and Elixir are the ones on my radar.

X-Force Psylocke seems likely.  Especially if they make a new 90s Psylocke with the Warbird body.  I realize the X-Force she was part of was grey and not silver, but would people mind if they make her silver just to fit with the figures they're making?

I started to run into those check out glitches this time around when ordering the X-Force pack. The thing that finally got it to work was inputting my phone number without dashes. Glad I wasn't under pressure to get the order in quickly. Looking forward to this set, but yeah, agreed with @h-bird, we need Wolfsbane, Vanisher, and Elixir to really complete this team. @ashtalon I don't think Psylocke had any areas of either of her Uncanny X-Force costumes that would be silver or white. I guess her sash? I'd prefer her in true UXF colors, black and grey, if they remake her.

I'm kinda tempted by the x-force set, but x-23 really deserves the new reverse ab crunch buck and they both have really bad lollypop/big head syndrome.  head sculpts look great otherwise.  i'm very curious about how well this Warpath body poses, it's new, right?
