So, these Disney-Marvel figures...

I got my shipped notification too!

I got home to find the set my daughter ordered for me on the steps. It was such a thrill to open up the exterior box, to find that gleaming blue packaging within.

As I took it out, I especially admired the Torch artwork, and how Johnny’s red and yellow stood out. Then I realized: “Wait a sec. That’s the BACK of the Torch’s box!”

For a moment, I feared that the box was empty, or that the Torch had been switched out. But it turned out to simply be the Torch box having been put in backwards.

What a great set.

And to top it off, I got a notification that the set I ordered just shipped. What timing.

I still think it quite odd how my daughter got in the ordering queue a couple of minutes after me, and yet was placed around 150 people ahead of me.

I really, really hope that the third time is charm, and that the ordering and process for the subsequent sets and figures are smoother.

Getting these things (not Ben Grimm) shouldn’t be nearly as much of a hassle as they are!

But what a sweet trip down memory lane.

I was one of the "back-ordered and arriving August 15th" people. Just got an email with a tracking number and notice that it shipped today (August 1st).

Me, too. Hooray!
