Glad they made Nova the first tier. I'm not sure we'll be able to get more than one at the current rate, but maybe. At the very least Surfer could easily be slotted into a retail wave next year around the time Galactus gets released. I Hope Nova comes with more stuff though. Some effects at least please Hasbro.
I’m confident Nova will be made. Tiers beyond that are tougher to predict. I don’t think foreign market counts are included yet, nor have retailer numbers…add those and the expected last minute rush and we could jump significantly. I think 18k is likely, but 20k and especially 22k i still have pretty significant doubts.
Yeah, the international partners don't get added in until the last day iirc and I'm guessing retailers like BBTS wait until the last minute to put their backing numbers in for similar reasons. Even though BBTS isn't exactly partnered with Pulse for this release it'd be a pain in the ass for someone at BBTS to have to go to Pulse and back them one at a time as someone preorders one of their site. If those numbers were included I wouldn't be surprised if Galactus was technically already backed.
What puzzled me then, and even more as time's passed, is that they didn't think to include a Gauntlet arm with whichever of Jessica or Hellcat showed up second to nudge more people to pick up both. I still prefer the idea of a herald gift set or even wave to get Frankie out rather than tying her to an expensive crowdfund, but if this is how I get her (she's been in my top 10 biggest ML wants for a couple years now), I'll take it. I also hope she gets some effects thrown in though.
September will be an expensive month for me: Thanos & IM set Iron Monger set Thor Odin Pepper & cap Marvel Mark 7 IM All that skiping Sutur and not knowing if Amazon decides to send Masterverse out.....
Hmm, doesn't seem like it no. I just assumed they had a listing since they've carried most of the others from what I recall. Wonder why they aren't this time?
Super easy, the neck pegs have just enough friction to stay snug, but pops put as easy as most ML heads.
The first part made to much sense that's why it didn't happen I'm all for a Herald gift set at least 5 of the many, and they need to say something on this before they finish Galactus as I think knowing that we'd get them would help push the numbers up more, as that's currently holding me back
If you don't own any of the Thanos (Excluding the original dark purple baf) and also want a really nice looking iron man, the value for this set at the right retailer can't be beat. (27 for an amazing looking stark, and 38 for a baf with new exclusive accesories.
