I get the pointy finger as well 'cause my LCS didn't order Electro for me for some reason. I'll get it next week.

Picked up Electro yesterday--no Vulture yet. The Galactus looks great, but I passed, since I found the Marvel Legends assembled Galactus at a flea market two weeks ago for $2.
Skipped over Kraven back when he came out, now I think I want him. He's a sharp sculpt.

I love Kraven, he's one of my favorites. Also, one of the main reasons I finally caved and started getting Spider-Man & his villains.
Nice pickup on Galactus. I'm missing his legs and haven't found them for less than a few dollars each plus shipping through eBay.

Hot off the UPS truck. I'm not too thrilled with the arrivals, lots of little problems with both figures. Luckily, Black Bolt has a fairly simple paint scheme, as this one is on the sloppy side. His nose is really flattened as well, I'm going to have to fix that. Electro has a busted arm and lightning bolt I found floating around the polybag of all places (just the bolt, the arm was still inside the box). The other bolt is cracked in two spots. I'd love for a local store that carried these, the few I'm close to don't bring them in anymore.

Ryan, can't you request them from an LCS close to you? My guy orders these just for me, so now I get them on the day of release instead of worrying about damages due to shipping which, quite honestly for me, wasn't that big a problem via Midtown. Sorry to hear your Electro is so banged up!
I just got my Electro. The paint job on one leg and the trunks is a little sloppy, but I can deal. He's a little taller than I would have expected, especially standing so close to Spider-Man. I may have to rearrange and move him to the back.
Anyone have any idea what's coming up next for the US and when?

Ryan- I had to pass on also Black Bolt because all 3 figures at my LCS had very sloppy paint jobs. I hope it's just a bad batch and not a sign of things to come.

Matt, the big one I'm in sporadically won't, he's been burned on them before (to the benefit of you and me). The little one near my work will, but he'll mark them up. I refuse to put more money in his pocket and pay over cover price for something released that day. I've tried, believe me. Midtown at least gives me free shipping on orders over $75 and I don't pay tax. I should probably just shut up :^)
The legs on my Electro aren't too sharp, either. The left leg is all way inside the lines and the right is all outside the lines. I think I'm going to shake him really hard to see if they even out.
Next up is Psylocke and Vulture, and Rhino should be on the way at some point soon, I think.

Weird. That's exactly the way mine looks. Given a choice between the two, I'd rather they both be inside the lines as the lightning at least looks sharper that way. Ah well, guess they can't all look as fantastic as Kraven or, for that matter, most of the other figurines I've got.
