I wonder when series 3 will hit. That's the one I really want. Enchantress, Hawkeye, Ultron... (where's that drool emoticon?)

Got my Giant Battles ones from eBay (shipping took a month) today. Key issues are the 12" scale guys look a bit scrawny compared to the ML BAFs, but I'll see how they go when I set them free, and add Bucky to my burgeoning 3 3/4" collection.
Hey Andy, let me know how the "Giant battles" guys measure up to someone like the Giant-Man B-A-F. |

I love the fact that we are getting more figures in this size - all my double figures go so well when it comes to my kids (and sometimes me) GI JOE vs Marvel vs Star Wars battles. I really want to get the exclusive larger figures but with the shipping pricetag and all I think I will wait until I have finished off the standard set (and two packs) first.
Oh and can anyone explain why there is no number 25 figure? Wave 3 ends with Figure #24 - Hand Ninja and Wave 4 starts off with #26 Union Jack. What exactly am i missing here?

Is #25 the (#!@@##!) Nick Fury Exclusive figures?

Actually I looked it up you are indeed right it is Electro. That makes so much sense considering he comes in Wave 5 which starts at 31.....  I dont know where Hasbro get their numbering system from! |

I believe Hasbro retconned Fury out of the numbering system... |

Hey Andy, let me know how the "Giant battles" guys measure up to someone like the Giant-Man B-A-F. So The Giant Man looks about an inch taller than the Marvel U Goliath, and maybe a bit more than disproportionately bulkier. If you wanna compare, check out my collection thread, I've posted shots that should help. I don't mind them, but I weep for the poor people (like one guy I know trying to put together the New Avengers in Marvel U) that need to get this just for, say, Bucky Cap. |

I'll have pics and a review of the Gigantic Battles Giant Man Skrull and Goliath. I'm pretty wild about them.

Can't wait - I really want to see what these are like. You cant get these locally can you? The only shops close to me sell a handful of Wave 3 & 4 figures but very little if any. |

They do look good Andy! And nope Steelspawn, you can't get them locally (that I know of). Welcome to our Brotherhood of Sorrow. |

Well I have managed to get every figure up to Wave 5 and including all of the 25th Anniversary Secret Wars packs. Ebay has the Gigantic ones but they seem pretty pricey as is Wave 6 which I have seen a few people on Ebay selling from US. I am just hoping they bring some of these out in Australia soon! |

Aussie retailers are already 2 waves behind. But then they have skipped series then picked them up with further series before, Marvel Legends in particular |
