I wouldn't even mind so much ordering online, but they really screw you with the shipping charges.
I blame Hasbro more than Target for the lack of supplies, however. Was at Target yesterday and they just restocked their shelves with (sigh) Wave 1.

I have all the first and second series, the 8 piece collectors pack, plus Mysterio/Spidey, Sandman/Black Spidey, Human Torch/Silver Surfer, Mister Fantastic/Super Skrull, Juggernaut/Nightcrawler, and I pre-ordered the Fin Fang Foom and Sentinel packs. The next ones I'm hoping to get are Antman, Apocalypse, and some of the more recent waves. Oh, and I picked up a Transformers Robot Hero 2 pack today of Autobot Ratchet and Megatron. It's getting hard to keep up with all the toy lines I collect, and finding space in a collection of over 8000 is REAL hard, to say the least. My toy room is absolutely PACKED, now so is my hallway... Whoops, I meant Giant Man/Iron Man. And I forgot to list Dr Strange/Ant Man and Thor/Loki.

Everything but Ironman/Thor (yes the very old set). Yea, it's a weird one to be missing.

I'm psyched to finally get an e-mail from BBTS telling me they shipped my Fin Fang Foom/Iron Man Mega Pack today!! Yay!
I put the other items I'm waiting on (preorders of 3 different JLU 3 packs) on the "Pile Of Loot" deal, so I imagine they'll take awhile.

My collection is all Marvel. I only leave out the ones I'm not a fan of (Ultimates, guys with motorcycles, Spider-Man movie characters), also the guys I can't find here (FF series, Storm/Panther, newer Spider-Man). And I have one GH: Chewie and C3PO.

I've honestly been buying these for my little boy. He's not even a year old, but I loved Marvel comics as a kid, and I wanted to share. I also loved Star Wars - I was ten when it came out - and I really dig how these are compatible. As a consequence I've gotten a hold of most of the classic Marvel heroes and villains. I've avoided Characters I'm not real familiar with, and obscure or ultimate costumes. I've also bought guys from the Star Wars original films - actually just Star Wars and Empire Strikes Back. And I've just bought a bunch of the Indiana Jones adventure heroes.
It frustrates me that some of the pairs aren't more logical. But that's a minor gripe.

Sure, most have. But Dr Strange and Ant-Man? Spider-Woman and the Hulk? And it looks like in the upcoming set Ultron is packed with Spider-Man. These are the kinds of thing I'm talking about. I can understand it in some cases - a known seller with a more minor character - but I'm ending up buying more of certain characters than I'd like just to get their partner figure, which is what I find frustrating. Add to that the scenario where you've got multi-packs where I only want one character, and yeah, well, anyway.

Call me old school. But I never really think of Dr Strange as an Avenger, certainly not in the same mould as Ant-Man. But to my mind, more logical sets would've been:
Ant-Man and the Wasp Spider-Woman and Luke Cage Dr Strange and Mephisto Yellowjacket and Ultron
Don't ya think?

I'm just happy they MADE a Spider Woman, Dr. Strange, Antman, etc.

We can argue about logic with our own perspectives... In my mind, Luke Cage should be packaged with no one but Iron Fist.

You're right, of course. Power Man and Iron Fist are the logical pairing. I was trying just to identify a more logical partner for Spider-Woman. Possibly Wolverine? Or Nick Fury?
Sorry for the derail. I was just pointing out that they do split some of the more logical duos.
