Anyone have any guesses / oracles about Galactus Essentials?

I need to sell all my 144 2*s, but don't want to end up with no Essentials or heavily Powered Up OBW / Ares / cStorm / MNMags / Hawkeye, during Galactus Hungers For Santa.

    Aren't there like three different events dropping on the 22nd? I don't know if we're seeing multiple PVEs or not, but the placement rewards for the Hunt should be essential for ONE of them, at least. Ghost Rider, Patch, and 2* Cap.

    If they drop two different PVEs on the 22nd, I honestly have no idea what to expect.

    That would be the aforementioned Sneak Peeks thread, which details who's slated to be Powered Up in a given week:
    (12/15/16 - 12/22/16)
    4* - Ghost Rider, Kingpin, Deadpool (Uncanny X-Force), Sam Wilson (Captain America), Winter Soldier
    3* - Daredevil, Dr Strange (Stephen Strange), Human Torch (Classic), Blade (Daywalker), Squirrel Girl
    2* - Hawkeye (Modern), Moonstone
    1* - Juggernaut, Venom (Dark Avengers)

    (12/22/16 - 12/29/16) *New Update*
    4* - Venom (Agent Venom), Iceman, Iron Man (Hulkbuster), Nick Fury, Peggy Carter
    3* - The Hood, The Hulk (Indestrucible), The Punisher (Dark Reign), Thor (Modern), Vision
    2* - Bullseye (Dark Avengers), Captain Marvel (Ms. Marvel)
    1* - Hawkeye (Classic), Spider-Man (Original)

    Mostly it's going to be the cats in the second group. The ones in the first group may be powered up for the first day of the event, which is why I include them, but mostly you're gonna be rollin' with the second group.

    Same place. Brigby will normally put it out there about a week ahead of time (sometimes more).

    *edit* click the preview button and discover that I am once again too slow.

    First page! He updates the main post, and if he posts later in the thread, it's along the lines of "Updated such and such." But the updates are always in the very first post.

    Also REALLY helps to have 3* Punisher boosted. More HP so he lasts longer and can use Retribution to finish off a high HP Galactus.
