Except at a lot of brick and mortar stores they no longer will allow you to price match against Amazon's prices. Especially Walmart, as they have refused me in the past when I have tried. They used to (I remember getting each figure to the Hulkbuster wave at 9 bucks a piece back in the day) but at some point, they changed their policy on it. I believe Target (officially) no longer accepts these type of price matches against Amazon as well.
So like BB said...it really does depend on whether the cashier is actually following company policies or just trying to hurry the line along because they don't feel like disputing a 2 or 3 dollar difference over a toy. In any case, I can't tell you guys how to spend your money or what your time is worth. I just wanted to share how I save a little extra on Target sales.

I tried to find the 2 packs of Ghost/Luis and Korg/Grandmaster today but didn't have any luck. I looked on Brickseek and it shows a couple with Limited Stock that I'll check tomorrow. Probably won't have any luck though since everyone wants them now that their $13.

Price-Matching Scam Had Sony PS4 Selling for $90 at Walmart | Money They recently did away with their savings catcher and don't seem to be willing to price match groceries anymore. Not sure what caused this new change. |

I went to my local Target tonight and was able to briefly check out their toy department. It was a lot better than my Wal-Mart. From what I remember seeing, I saw the X-Force Wolverine, Nightcrawler and Cannonball figures there (there were two of each), they had one Spider-Woman from the Molten Man Build-A-Figure wave, one each of four of the retro/vintage X-Men wave were in stock (Cyclops, Dazzler, Iceman, and surprisingly Silver Samurai)... and there were three unsold 70s Dazzler figures. At least the unsold lady Beetle figures weren't there this time, so that's progress... I guess.

rektangular just dropped another rumor video and it all sounds very interesting:
- Morbius wave for the upcoming movie. Might just be like the Venom wave where it's all comic, but "tied" to the movie. - On that note, another Venom wave. Assuming we'll see them try to round out the Life Foundation symbiotes here. Maybe an all-new comic Venom too? - Probably one of the biggest bombs in the video: figures of Deadpool, Wolverine, Professor X, Magneto and Mystique from the Fox X-Men movies. - Ultimate Riders Hawkeye - Kingpin re-release, presumably in the black suit - The other big bomb: Giant-Size Storm! Then there's other stuff that's obvious, like Black Widow movie wave and Eternals movie wave. https://youtu.be/_qOj8txKGG8 |

That's some great news SymbiSpidey! But I just wonder how many waves they're planning on doing for 2020! I was originally thinking maybe 10 but it may be more than that. Of course some of that may not be waves but packs.
XCU figures...I don't know if Id get them or not. I'd have to see how they turn out and how they'd fit in with MCU displays. Kingpin re-release was almost a given at some point, I bet it will be in the 2020 vintage wave. FA Storm will be great. that will take care of one of the two biggest holes in the collection, IMO. And I imagine that's a win for everyone,except people who have no interest in X-Men. I'm still betting she'll be a Walgreen's exclusive. |

Wouldn't it be great if the Morbius wave were all comic mArvel Horror?
My dream wave would be: Werewolf By Night 70's Blade Classic Satana Lilith Daughter of Dracula (although I also like the Mother of Demons) Gargoyle Daimon Hellstorm. Any of those ill be static. |

BTW, it is my understanding that Rektangulas mention Storm in black, not necessarily FA Storm. Just to adjust the expectations...

Don't love Venom that much, but it will be nice to round up The life foundation.
My vote also would go for Bride of Venom and the female Poison. |

Can't say I'm that excited bout the Widow wave, but I might if I see some Russian heroes like Red Guardian Tanya, Vanguard, Darkstar and Ursa Major. Would love also classic Titanium Man and Crimson Dynamo, thou those two would fit in any Avengers/Iron Man wave.
Also I expect one of the exclusives will be Yelena Belova (or just a head); which is also the only female rather than Lady Deathstrike that has not been made by Hasbro from the Toybiz days. |

And actually the Jim Lee Storm in black would still be missing, that was the Toy Biz standard release. But yeah other than those 3 I think Hasbro has covered all the female figures |

Yes of course! Wonder If we will see Lady Deathstrike soon. Also a new Viper would be great to go with Samurai.

Deathstrike is my #1 most needed remade figure, even more than Banshee or Mandarin. |

Aahhh, I know we won't ever see Gateway, but Rogue and Psylocke in those outfits would be swell. Also bare chested Colossus. Loved that era.

Yeah count me in for the armored Psylocke look, too. It's not the most iconic look for her but it's actually my favorite of her looks.

My apologies he did indeed say Storm in black. My hunch is if it isn't GSXM Storm is maybe the Jim Lee suit in black, although with Cyclops, Wolverine (sorta), Colossus, Nightcrawler and Phoenix all from that era having been released, it wouldn't be surprising to see Hasbro tackle another character from that era. If that were the case, Banshee and Thunderbird would be the last ones needed for that team.

Well to. E totally accurate to all the X-men on Giant-Size. #1, we would still need Jean as Marvel Girl and Havok and Polaris in their original outfits.
And I agree with Nash. I loved the armor look for Psylocke. It felt more British. The original pink was to Princess of Power, and I never loved her ninja look. It was too similar too Elektra. Thou in that period everybody and their aunts became ninja... |

Walked into one of my Walmarts today to see if they had anything being cleared out, but there wasn't anything left.
I did however spot a Cap from the Bro Thor wave hanging on the peg, so these are out there and starting to hit shelves for those of you interested... |

Nice video, SymbiSpidey, but I was hoping to hear more Spider-Man news out of it. Guess I'll have to wait for the next Hasbro Marvel Legends panel, interview and/or Q&A. I'm still keeping my fingers crossed 2020 will give us overdue figures like a John Romita Sr./Gil Kane era classic Spider-Man, classic Chameleon, classic Electro, classic Boomerang, Trapster, first appearance Mary Jane Watson, classic Shocker, "Amazing Friends" Firestar and a Doc Ock with bendable wire tentacles. New classic versions of the Lizard, the Green Goblin and the Hobgoblin would be wonderful too.
Captain Nash already called black suit Kingpin (and I hope you're feeling better, Nash). I hope we get a re-do of classic red suit Daredevil to match. I'd also love for previous Build-A-Figures, especially Sandman and Rhino, to get re-released for those of us who missed them the first time around. It'd also be great to have a classic Rhino that didn't have that screaming angry head sculpt from the previous B.A.F. 70s/Giant Size Storm seems imminent and I'm sure that Banshee will get made sooner rather than later. That said, the news that surprised me most was the 20th Century Fox 'X-Men' figures. However, I do hope they make the original trilogy characters into figures instead of the prequel series. Since most X-Men fans weren't fans of 'Apocalypse' or 'Dark Phoenix', I'd personally prefer to have a figure of Famke Janssen as Jean Grey instead of Sophie Turner's younger version. And sorry, but I can't stand Jennifer Lawrence's portrayal of Mystique. If we got, say, a 'Logan' version of Wolverine and Patrick Stewart's future Xavier from 'Days of Future Past', that'd be cool. But I'd rather they stay away from any of the Phoenix films, as I loathe 'X-Men: The Last Straw'... er, 'Last Stand'. Last edited by StuartGreen2019; 10-14-2019 at 12:45 PM.. |

On paper I'm not opposed to Rhino having a screaming angry head but in execution the BAF's head looks decidedly more like someone who got kicked in the 'nads. I never came close to finishing Rhino so ever since Hasbro started redoing BAFs on their own or in two packs he's been at the top of my wishlist, even if it was just a straight repack of the BAF with the masked head I'd take it since I really liked his story from Rage of the Rhino to Ends of the Earth.

Pass on the Morbius stuff. Never cared about the character. But the X-film stuff is interesting. If we get an older Hugh Jackman Logan, I'd be ecstatic.
