It's the 35th Anniversary of Giant Sized X-Men #1, the debut of these characters as X-Men and the first appearance of most of them.

Cool, though $36 for Storm is a bit much . Actually, I'm kind of interested in the Wolverine, he sort of looks like the Jim Lee design. He would go well with Jim Lee Cyclops and Jean Grey.

Looks like I gotta stop by TRU this week to get a look of this set.

Yeah, I initially said this was going to be a pass for me, but now that I see the price, it's a little appealing. I'll have to take a look in person to see how good these toys are. however, I am going to Portland later this month, so I might hold out to see if I can't find it in the US.

No sign of these in Toronto yet. I had a TRU employee check the computers and so far these packs have not arrived anywhere in Ontario or Quebec. He said they will likely show up in the next 2 weeks.
