There was a delay in the release of this set. Perhaps some scalpers see it as a shortage of sets and are sweeping the shelfs. As of yesterday, all the shops have them sold out. I got mine at Takashimaya Shopping Center.

Starting to build Bag 1
Ant Man Front
Ant-Man Back.
Helmet for Ant Man is a single piece.
If i'm correct, trans red part is the base piece, and the pearl light grey part molded over it.
Trans red part covers the eyes, ears as well as the stud holding area.
Ant-man's greatest allies! 2 blue ants! We will need more.
Yellow Jacket Front
Yellow Jacket Back
Helmet for Yellow Jacket is a single piece.
Trans Yellow with dark grey molded over.
Completed Bag 1
Spare parts from Bag 1
If you really want to play with the set, would suggest that you replace the technic pin given.
Technic pin with friction ridges were given, and it don't work that well. I replaced it with technic pin without friction ridges and was able to launch a few screws.
Starting on Bag 2
Hank Pym Front
Hank Pym back
Helmet is same as Ant-man's, only instead of pearl light grey, black was used.
Flying Ant's body (thorax's the scientific term)
Its always interesting to see how the design handle the multi legs of insect-style builds.
Fly Ant's butt (Abdomen's the right term)
Flying Ant's Head (same term scientifically)
All parts combined!
According to legend, this is the part that caused the delay. this design was deem unstable and flimsy.
In comparison, the second design was better than the first. more stability as the stance was more spaced out.

Build: 7. Measurement seems off for the 3:1 brick. it has an extra plate height... Flying Ant don't really seems very nice compared to Chima builds...
Minifigures: 10/10. 3 Minifigurines in a medium box puts it on the better end of price:minifig ratio. 2 new helmets mold gives it a 9. 2 ants nabs the final point. (don't laugh, but in one of the sets, dogs are counted as minifig. so why not ants?)
Parts Assortment: 9/10. A lot of dark blue parts, Freddy will go crazy for this.
Playability: 8. can firing stuff, can army build.
