      They haven't been solicited yet, so no earlier than August.

      Apparently they've been confirmed as a Toys R Us Exclusive, and should be in Wave 14.

      Wave 13 is just launching now, so shouldn't be too much longer.

      The limited online stock has gone but they're available at http://www.atomiktoys.com/main.sc & http://lukestoystore.com/ and I'm sure will show up on eBay soon.

      I'll have to see about getting them imported. Thanks for those links!

      I had to do the same, to be fair.
      The international shipping wasn't as bad as I thought...

      Ordering them is something for my to-do list.

      Got my minimates! Awesome. Yes they are wave 14. Cost was under $9 US. Nice! The box (no pun intended) says:

      BOX
      Madison Jeffries is a mutant who can shape metal, glass and plastic with his mind. He helped upgrade the Box battle suit for Canadian super-team Alpha Flight, and took control of Box when the original pilot went rogue. He can now phase in and out of the armor, as well as alter its shape and size.

      VINDICATOR
      Heather Hudson's husband James was the pilot of the Guardian battle suit, stolen from a weapons supplier and used to start up Alpha Flight. When James was believed dead, Heather modified his battle suit and underwent training with Wolverine to become the Canadian team's new leader.
      Not completely accurate but not bad for a toy description.

      I'd agree, not an accurate description. Jamie "took back" his own Guardian suit, or rather he took back the helmet and left the suit behind and then built his own suit, not, as the box puts it, "stole" his suit.

      I do like how they put him as the "pilot" of the suit; that's amusing.

      I can definitely recommend Atomik Toys.

      I love the metallic effect on Box.
      'Glowing hair'? I see nothing like that - unless you mean what looks like rocket fire under Box / jets under Vindicator? Both so they can 'fly'.

      HAven't opened mine either. I guess that's for Madison. I hope there isn't a head there [accessible by lifting off a helmet] to wear the glowing hair because he's supposed to be phased in, not wearing a helmet.
