ML Preorders and Fanstreams

I pre-ordered all seven. I have little to no interest in those costumes for Betsy or John so they'll get re-sold loose but I'll keep the rest.

I'll be ecstatic to get each of Box, Marrina and Robbie as brand new characters in the line. Lady DP will replace an 8-year old figure. I'll likely try to repurpose Dark Hawkeye into Trickshot. I might even figure out something useful to do with that USAgent, although I don't know what yet.

Overall 4 new characters out of 14 (29%) shown yesterday is appealing to me. That's all I really care about after collecting this line for more than one-quarter of a century. I'm planning to buy all that were revealed yesterday except Rivals MK and Punisher.
 
Samesies. I preordered Marrina and that's it. I'm hoping to secure Box's noggin & appendages via the kindness of fellow collectors here in the parts thread, or maybe ebay. But if I don't, no biggie; I expect the blue release will be shinier anyway.
 
Speaking of Box's noggin: I really like the photo of Lady Deadpool interacting with it. I don't think they've ever done that before and she's a great candidate to do exactly that.

I pre ordered Pyslocke, Lady Deadpool, and Dark Avengers Hawkeye. Is this Hawkeye figures attire the attire of a specific Dark Avengers Hawkeye? Like is it Bullseye as Hawkeye, or is it Clint's Brother when he was Hawkeye? I didn't know if this look was specific to one or another.

Twice in the past, I've had things show delivered and they weren't. Luckily both showed up a day or 2 later. Hopefully that will happen for you this time

Got my Inferno Racer this morning. The property manager's office staff looked in the parcel lockers and overflow package room but couldn't find the package. I went down to the post office and once I got to the front of the line they came out with my package and said we thought it was a pretty important package so we decided to secure it here. I thanked them, promised to leave exceptional feed back for them all. I already knew the majority of their names so it was easy to leave the feedback Lol, when I was walking out the door with my package I got puzzled looks from other customers. None of you know the story so here it is, I'm telling it like it is crappy vocabulary and all. It was around 4 years ago the property manager's office upgraded to having parcel lockers in the building. I mean of course the owner of the apartment complex had them installed. It's was around 200 with different sizes and also a room upgraded to hold bigger packages and items shipped. Well FedEx and UPS had no problems delivering the packages to the parcel lockers. They just had to type in a specific code issued to them and put the packages in the lockers. USPS refused to use the lockers and still just wanted to just drop off the packages in the middle of the floor and the management staff would take of the packages as usual. This was the agreement when USPS started delivering packages before the parcel lockers were there. Management staff now wanted the USPS drivers to put the packages in the lockers. It was a simple request but where the management staff screwed up they tried to tell the drivers they had to do it. Oh, no they didn't not in the original agreement. I had to explain that to the property manger since I have worked with contracts before. The drivers decided they weren't going to deliver packages to the property manager's office anymore. Well after two weeks having to go to the post office to pick up my packages and this just wasn't me it was the entire apartment complex which has over 1,000 apartments. I got tired of the bull shit because the apartment manger tried to get with the post master general of the post office but she wouldn't even sit down for a talk. I went to the post office asked her staff if I can have a conversation in her office. She finally came out of her office and I asked can we go to your office but she started ranting and raving in the front so I explained to her which she knew already that your drivers have to deliver those packages. I said we both know they don't have to put the packages in the parcel lockers but they still have to deliver the packages. I said it's not considered an unsafe place and the drivers are only delivering the packages to the manager's office. Well she took to calling me all kinds of crap so I said okay, I gave you a chance. I called the Post Master Inspector General and explained to him in around a 40 minute conversation as to what was going on. He said I appreciate the conversation and hopefully you want have to call back. The next thing I know the Post Master General of that post office is no longer there. I'm assuming she was informed to retire which she was always going around the post office and blaming the customers for the reason she is retiring. If she did retire she just had to retire just a couple months earlier than she wanted. The new Post Master General my understanding talking to the apartment staff back then said the property manager had a conversation with the new Post Master General. They all came to an agreement and of course our packages started again being delivered.

Geez @jayjonah, what a pita, but at least it sounds like it's finally resolved.

Yep, we have some new drivers so I give them the benefit to do the right thing and usually the packages will usually be on time, or like you mentioned about 2 days later. It's just they have an obligated job and back then they refused to do it which they couldn't. It didn't just cause issues for me but for over 1,000 apartments with families and I know the system so I did what I had to do.

I think it comes down to how you like to define a team as complete... or for Alpha Flight how you define the team, we have a complete team as introduced in X-Men.. and technically Alpha Flight #1... but there's also Beta Flight and Omega Flight, and It always seemed to me that the lines got blurred between them. Especially between Alpha and Beta...
If I'm just building the overall combined team of Alpha and Beta... I need a Flashback in addition to Marrina and Box.
