I don't have any specific predictions but do hope they follow through on their comments about completing teams/groups - I feel they acknowledged that intention last summer con season, so about now I'd expect to start seeing announcements to truly reflect that.

My concern is that while they seem to be better about completing teams they have recently started (X-Men training uniforms, Squadron Supreme) in relatively short order, and while we have gotten a few additions like Gorgon (and I'm sure others) that were unexpected, I am not sure they have really picked up the pace on filling in major gaps.

So I hope we can finally get some of the stragglers - many of the mutant teams in particular are missing one last female character, not even counting how we need a classic Angel - and someone like Air Walker is overdue (after many of us spent $500 for Galactus and assorted Heralds) - or the lack of an early appearance Wasp (or any Wasp) in the Avengers 60th.

If we don't get an Albert figure, with Elsie Dee, next year, I'll scream.

I'll scream if we do get one.

Make it a "3pack" with Albert, battle-damaged brown tiger stripe Wolverine, Hunter in Darkness, and a mini, but still poseable pack in of Elsie Dee.

I'd be happy if they could hit any of my major wants:

• More Astonishing X-Men
• Armored Psylocke
• Magik
• Classic Iron Fist
• Coipel Thor

Beyond the obvious ones that have been leaked I'd be happy if we could just get a good Exodus figure so we can stop having to ask for him.  Emphasis on GOOD.  We've stopped asking for Avalanche because they gave him to us finally in some form.  I'll never understand why they chose to phone in the one that made the Top 10 most wanted list.  "We know how much you've wanted him, so here he is on a budget..."

Spared No Expense

I'm so annoyed by that Avalanche. It's not inaccurate, it's just accurate to the least interesting version of his costume.

I don't have any specific predictions but do hope they follow through on their comments about completing teams/groups -

I'm THIS close to selling off my X-Factor, X-Force, and Excalibur figures but if they reveal the holdouts that should have been out 3 or 4 years ago I may change my mind.  But it's been so long now, I've just about stopped caring, unfortunately.

All this team talk has made me hope we get surprised with another rando Serpent Society member. 😀

I started typing up my predictions, but what I think is going to happen is kind of lame, so I decided to scrap it and just list what I want to see happen.

1) I want to see some of the rumors - which I believe were first circulated by Displaying Model Behaviour - are confirmed, starting with a classic Angel, one of the most glaring holes in the line.

2) I want to see teams completed:

• 80s X-Factor
• 90s X-Factor
• 90s X-Force
• Classic Excalibur
• Classic Starjammers
• Classic Alpha Flight
• Inhumans Royal Family
• Classic West Coast Avengers
• Classic New Warriors
• Early Thunderbolts
• Carnage's Maximum Carnage "family" 
• and plenty of others

3) More classic villains across all of the major corners of the Marvel Universe. So many Avengers, Captain America, Iron Man, Hulk, Fantastic Four/Cosmic, Spider-Man, X-Men, Marvel Knights/Street Level villains still yet to be made.

4) Speaking of which, the new Marvel Knights wave didn't do that great a job of scratching my itch for more classic street level heroes. Plenty of those still left to be made. And plenty of classic cosmic heroes still out there, too.

I think the only MCU based offering we can definitely expect is the NWH wave. I hope we get other MCU revealed, but I am not counting on it.

I’m really excited to finally get Detroit Steel!

Hoping for more Generation X (especially Synch), X-Factor Investigations (Layla Miller, Pip the Troll), and X-related characters in Krakoa and beyond era. First time in Marvel Legends X-Men related characters always appreciated also!

I kind of wonder if we might see a Deadpool 3 movie wave regardless of the strikes pushing production back with either all comic (guess I miss those Deadpool comic waves) or something like movie Deadpool and Wolverine along with comic Deadpool related figures or Deadpool 1 and/or 2 movie figures filling out the wave.

I'm a little more sanguine than most about getting the last outstanding members of these various teams, but if I was on the team I'd definitely be pushing to have one or two revealed next week. Seems like such an obvious way to garner immediate goodwill from the fan base!

I’m still waiting for the jacketless Gambit they teased… AoA. I wonder if he’ll be in a mixed xmen comic wave or if he will come with more AoA figures.

Ooh, I don't remember this tease - when was it?
