LOL.... so I started madly searching for links trying to find these for sale to make sure I got them and couldn't find them live anywhere... and then I went back and read Dan's tweets and saw they go live at 1300 EST -  so that's 10 am for me,  not 9,  so I got another hour to wait....  sigh.

A very VERY small thing in the giant scope of the current horror, but fucking MAGA is holding my X-Men hostage. Can’t think of anything more on-the-nose.

The fact that Alpha Flight has once again abducted Wolverine to have for themselves should not be lost on us.

*Provided you all ordered an X-treme Wolverine of course.

@jtmarsh I was thinking more “Operation Zero Tolerance stopped Wolverine at the border and Alpha Flight can’t currently help him against said genocidal fascists” but sure.

😀

Are you talking about the mini comics wave? Because this wave has been available to PO for a couple weeks.

Yes... I posted in the wrong thread ... clearly.

Well. This wave was in-stock on CMDStore and it was my birthday last week, so I said “what the hell” and ordered it. Been a few days, label created but not shipped. Checked the site today and:

”Due to the ongoing border issues with President Trump's tariff on products made in China, packages are experiencing extended processing and border crossing times. This is primarily attributed to the fact that a significant portion of the products in question are manufactured in China. Once the aforementioned issues are resolved, packages will undergo scanning and be expedited through the border. We appreciate your understanding and patience in this matter.”

Same for me! Ordered last weekend and the label popped up Monday but no movement so far. I was not happy when I read that message on their site.

Got a call today that my Husk figure was ready for pickup from Gamestop, so between CMD and this it looks like Canada has first dibs this time.

AOA Gambit is sold out on Pulse! Hoping that popularity proves we need more AOA figures!

I think we'll get at least AOA Nightcrawler (I hope they don't expect us to skate by on the Uncanny X-Force version like Iceman) and possibly Storm since those will likely sell decently.  I would hope Bishop comes sooner than later given that he WAS a major story point in it.  Of course then my list of wants reopens and I'm going on 12-13 figures.  But I would hope for as many as we can get.

Pretty sure he's sold out on Amazon too, at least for now.    He's the only one from that wave that doesn't come up when you look for the figures.

Chrome and Cortez are essentially the same (maybe slightly skinnier) aside from the head.  Hopefully this opportunity for laziness gets us a few more 90s Acolytes down the line.  Dunno how deep Hasbro wants to go with this, but we are getting the Reavers, which I don't think most would have ever expected, beyond MAYBE Bonebreaker being a ToyBiz figure and being asked for as a BAF.

Some quick hits after receiving most of the wave today: this Wolverine could have easily been a lazy repaint of the 2 pack back suit figure... so the new sculpted pants and other details are excellent. I used one of my spare neutral expression Jim Lee team heads on mine and I love it. Nemesis is interesting because it's easily one of the coolest and nicest Legends ever of a character I just wish they'd made the AOA version of. Phenomenal figure for a version of the character I care nothing for.

Everything else is great. Having this Cyclops makes me more disappointed they forgot the fkn boots on the upcoming Jean. Such a bone head move for that team.

Sure I'm not the first person to point this out, but @enforcer's comment made me think of it - this Wolverine and his pants seem like an obvious precursor to a Team X version.

I'd say that's definitely possible.

CMDStore has finally been able to get my package moving. Should be here in a few days.
