    Not anymore. You've either got to buy them separately or from a third party company.

    Couldn't hypothetical Pokemon minifigures come with a token brick-built stand also?

    You're looking too much at standard retail.

    Even then, NECA's Runner Alien has come with a stand in all releases, and that's a toy you can buy at TRU right now. I believe they made a library ghost figure with a stand. You can find a few Gundam kits at Barnes and Noble with with stands as well.

    If we aren't looking at standard American retail, a lot of Web Limited Figuarts releases come with display stands, and literally all Figma do.

    Yes, I stopped by a Target that had Destiny sets on clearance as well. Got a couple more Atheon sets for ten bucks.

    Saw some new pics of Heroes series 5 at SDCC. They all look good. Pretty much in for all of them except Truth and the brute

    I'm glad I didn't track down the nigh-impossible to find Shadow now.

    This might be a stretch, but does anyone have the Blue Team set that wants to part with it? I've been trying and trying to find it and no luck yet

    Continue to watch Amazon. Eventually they will be the place to find your Blue Team set if the here are anymore to be had.
    Amazon.com: Mega Construx Halo Ultimate Blue Team Building Set: Toys & Games

    Did the Mega division Mattel not get the memo about putting together a display for SDCC this year?

    The pictures on ToyArk suggest something like a thrown together at the last minute school project of current product.

    More to the point, it looks like stopped by Wal-Mart before hitting the convention to grab what they could.

    They don't even have the new cryo capsules or drop pods on display.

    Speaking of CoD, I came across these a bit ago:

    Sorry if this is not the right place for them, and for the crappy lighting. I guess I could have waited for daytime, but I just finished building the 2nd P-51 and took some pics of them.

    I get the sense they didn't have anything to show (how?!) but they didn't wanna lose their floor space, either.

    Well, all things being the trend they set, I am confident if these are more than just concepts they'll be troop builder sets.

    The teased MotU last year with Greyskull and a concept He-man with Battlecat. I really hope we see they Greyskull in full.

    And Star Trek's not dead... maybe. That's cool.
