Re: Marvel Universe 35th Anniversary Giant Size X-Men Box Set Out In Canada

I'm sure we will get another sale soon. I don't see those 6 packs selling out fast, especially at the 44.99 price tag

Re: Marvel Universe 35th Anniversary Giant Size X-Men Box Set Out In Canada

I noticed that the ones on eBay have the normal Nightcrawler, and the ones we got here in Vancouver have the "Bamfing" Nightcrawler. I guess there are two versions out there?

I think these were released early by accident here in Vancouver. I've checked a couple other TRUs and nothing, but the one location. I have a feeling these were meant to be released after the 20% off sale, since I haven't ever seen new product revealed during a sale like that. I could be wrong (someone correct me if I am). I think these will be more widespread in the next week after the sale...

Nice find pud333! Yes, there are 2 versions. It looks like your TRU got in the variant packs! That's so cool!

I agree. The other TRUs that I have been to didn't have these either.

I agree that it must be an error - usually with the SW exclusives, TRU does let them linger around at full price for a few weeks and then puts them out on sale eventually.

That way, they obviously maximize their profit by sucking in the early collectors who don't want to risk losing out on the item in case it sells out.... hey, that strategy has worked on me a few times!

Is Storm a variant as well? I notice that she has the white shades on her outfit (comic style), I recall seeing one where it was just straight up black.

Yes. The other boxed set, the one without the variant Nightcrawler, has Storm with all black and no white.

I couldn't find the normal version. There was only the transparent one. Or is that the normal version. I grabbed two

I don't know which one is the normal version, but what I do know is that Americans are saying they only got the regular one. We got the transparent one. Which means? I have no idea. but the transparent one is more coveted by Americans right now since they don't have any right now. You might be able to sell one on ebay or something. Make some money

The one we got has the translucent Nightcrawler with the Storm painted with the white accents. The other boxed set has the regular Nightcrawler, with Storm painted without the white accents - just black.
