Sorry, but the only way to get them is with the coupon from the magazines (Inquest, Wizard & Toyfare) or on the secondary market (trading or Ebay).

Is there even a way to get the the send away Superman or Wolverine? I thought that even if you had a copy of those magazines, it was too late to get them.

Please, someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I *think* you can send photocopies of the coupon. So find one of your buddies who does by the magazine and zip off one of your own.

You may also have a friend who doesn't play the game but buys the magazine. Just ask him for one. I did that this week to get the coupon for the LE Shadowrun figure.

It depends upon the coupon. The Wolverine LE required the actual coupon from the magazine, while the Superman LE specifically allowed photocopies.

It is too late to get those two LEs. What they have said they do is collect the orders and make the print run to the size of the orders. So generally once they start shipping them out it's too late to get them anymore. I would presume logically that once they have finished shipping them out that there are no more.

I concure with Grinner. There were even some people who ordered too late (either just too late or ran out of figures) to get one and their money was returned.

I ordered a pair of Berserker Wolvies last October, which was several months after they'd been offered (a friend of mine in Cali already had his by this time) and I got them no prob. Maybe I was just lucky though, hehe. Or unlucky, depending on how you look at it (I've used him, like, once? hehe)

Since the magazine with the offer itself hasn't even come out yet, the only people who know details like that are the WizKids' staff. We know he's John Stewart & has "lots of phasing" from comments by JonL, but that's the extent of what we know. We'll probably get a little more detail next month when the actual ad comes out (like the way that the Wolverine & Superman adds gave us some actual powers they'd have), but details won't be out until the figures actually ship. So figure 4 weeks for Inquest 97 to come out, another 10-12 weeks after that for the early deliveries to show up and we're looking at a likely date of mid-June for the first stats to show up.

Even if it does require the original copy of the order form, I would suggest going to a large store like Walmart or Borders. Make sure no one is looking, open up the magazine to the order form and sneeze loundly while tearing the page out. I highly recommend everyone to try this. ;)

About a month ago I mailed off for the LE Wolverine, using a magazine I bought just before that. The owners of my local game store said they had heard a rumor that the figure was still available. I sent out my form not expecting much but lo and behold I received two about two weeks after that. So who knows if they have sold all of them. I don't know about Superman though.

But at the same time you have to watch out. I sent mine in the day after I got the Inquest with the Superman LE & I still have not gotten mine. I ordered it before tons of my friends & they are all sitting pretty with theirs. Anyone have any advice on what to do about this?

Wizard/Inquest/Toyfare.... have been mail in orders for years now. About 2 years ago, they had a Simpsons figure that you could order by mail (with the coupon) or online. All of the figures sold out (online) before the magazine made it to subscriber's mail boxes.

People were pi$$ed. So, since then, they only allow mail in orders.

Contact Wizard's customer service/support. I know that some other people had trouble with receiving their figures and that the lady they spoke to was pleasant, understanding and straightened things out right away.
