Very true. We'll definitely get another down the line to address the gaps.

Not like we'd remake this set, anyway.

This is about what I expected.

Still, I have to look at the positives:

1. NEXTWAVE!!

2. Cool generics - I don't know who those Purifiers are, but I dig the idea of an army of zealots. I always kind of liked the Hellfire Club as well. Mindless Ones!!! Are Skullbusters generics? He looks like Crossbones.

3. Caliban - I always liked that guy.

4. Ch'od

5. Basic, core X-Men in classic costumes that even I know. Mind you that's not a huge plus for me, but I can imagine worse.

6. Cool-looking sculpts. I will probably even play some of the ones here that I don't even know. They look good.

OK. That's all I can come up with. Time to start thinking of the next DC set.

Ok, since the Mindless Ones are in there, what's the over/under on the unrevealed giant figure being Dormammu? Also, while this set looks fantastic, I'm pretty disappointed to not see Jubilee, Shadowcat, Fantomex, or any vampires. Well, maybe the next Marvel set will be Heroic Age with a Marvel Monsters sub-theme (really gotta have vampire Jubes and Wolvie at this point).

Very minor grip aside, gorgeous sculpts, fantastic character assortment, and if the previews are any indication some of (if not THE) most character accurate dials to date. I'm in for a case.

Very nice. Still don't want a ton of these figures but there are twelve-fourteen I'll get for sure.

I was hoping for Post (being the hERALD OF onslaught and all) but seeing as not one of my favourite mutants made the list, I'm not holding my breath.

I would prefer it if we could gradually sprinkle out X-characters from now on, so we don't have to have another mutant heavy set for a long, long, long time. There should be a minimum of 5-10 X-characters in every set to keep them from getting so neglected that we get to a point that we have to have a set like this. In the future, I would prefer the necessary evil of X-Men in small doses.

Say what?!

The TWILIGHT fever hit the X-Men? When?

Totally agree. I always get disappointed when there aren't enough X-Men in each subsequent Marvel set release.

Who around here DIDN'T grow up with the X-Men?

Cypher is the one with blonde hair....Empath with brown hair. different hair colors...but same figure. i am sure that it s same with Tarot/Roulette...one with red hair and one with brown hair.

What the heck is up with that Hulk, Where is that from?

I'm down for a couple cases.

First six issues of the new book. And they ain't prissy little sparkly vamps. They real vampires. Taking the vampire back from the emos.

Looks really good. I'm surprised at how many I didn't know. And I'm surprised at some of them that actually made it in. Trevor Fitzroy? Really? But the staples are all there and I'm excited at all the new team building options. Can't wait till March.

a few months ago....and right now Wolverine's teaching her how to control herself with his healing factor...oh well..you ll have to find out the new book - Jubilee and Wolverine mini-series and it s out this WEEK!

I'm super excited about a few figures (Lockheed, Rogue remake, Caliban, Blob, Siryn) but at the same time really annoyed about all the uneccessary remakes in the set, and all the characters that didn't make it in. Especially Toad, the New/Young X-men crew, the rest of X-factor, Maggot, Dr. Cecilia Reyes, The X-club, etc.

Be interesting to see what kind of Special Power they give to Leech!

Really coulda done without the Reavers (old news) and I was hoping it would be the more recent Hellions.

I think I'm actually less X-cited about this set now than I was before. But it's still cool. Probably get my usual Brick now though (was contemplating a case).
