    My set arrived arrived early yesterday afternoon. Considering that I'm in Canada, it was incredibly fast shipping by UPS.

    However, living in Canada also means that between the exchange rate, shipping costs (there was no free shipping offer to Canada) and customs/duty fees, we Canucks unfortunately have to pay about double what customers in the USA have to. It's a beautiful looking set, but likely the last one I'll be purchasing from the Disney site, as I'm really only interested in original release characters, not to mention cost is a factor as well. However, if Ghost Rider or any of the Marvel Monsters were produced, I'd probably change my mind. I really like the Falcon figure, so if that is produced I may try to get it off eBay.

    I can't get over how heavy and sturdy these figures are (Hulk, in particular), compared with the original releases. I guess we won't have to worry about the Hulk's arms or legs falling off with this version. The stain/smudge on Iron Man's chest plate looks like it may possibly be caused by glue that has bled though the button onto the sticker. But it's difficult to say for sure.

    I'm surprised that (as of this writing) these are still available on the website. I wonder if a much higher number of sets were produced, or for whatever reason, people aren't buying this one as much as the previous offerings. I've attached some photos. Hope you like them.
    All of these are very expensive for Canadians... Its a real drag.

    Looking forward to get mine.

    Great Pictures by the way !

      Seeing these in-hand makes me so pumped up. My two sets are due tomorrow. One set will remained boxed, but the other figures will be gearing up for the Great MEGO Super-Hero Battle 2.0. Fifty years in the making…

      As far as the Iron Man “Out, out, damned spot” on his chest piece: Is it worth the effort to cover it with some yellow contact paper cut to size?

            Thank goodness Cap’s star is completely adhered, instead of being stitched only in the center like with the EMCE version.

              It does bother me. But I'm not sure yet what I will about it. I may find/cut out a yellow sticker and affix that over this one. Or, I may touch it up with a slight bit of paint. Not sure yet. But it's a bit disappointing, to be sure.

                Verily.

                I’m debating between a sticker, or paint followed by a coat of hodge podge modge lodge, or whatever that stuff is that dries with a gloss. It would take only a tiny drop of paint and coating to do the trick. But I may opt for the sticker. More authentic.

                That glue stain is ridiculous.

                  Yes, the stain on the button is definitely an eye sore. I’m guessing though when it left the factory it probably wasn’t like that, so the set wasn’t held back. I agree a sticker would simplify the problem or maybe some kind of cleaner using a Q Tip.

                    Worlds greatest Superheroes on Ebay has the Ironman Decal $3.49 ea. They have the Button and Decl for $8.99 ea. I have ordered Iroman suits and Catmask (Iroman 1960's) head from them before and they are connected to Figures and Classic tv toys

                      A sticker is the best bet. Don’t use a cleaner! It’s the glue on the other side of the sticker that is causing the mark, so a cleaner wouldn’t even reach the glue/source of the stain.

                        Someone on facebook took the sticker off with tweezers and put a yellow sticker on the back of it and stuck the original back on and it looked fine.

                          Saw that. You need to put something under the current sticker, something yellow so that the glue does not show thru the current sticker.

                          Weird that the sticker would be so thin that the glue would show thru.
