They're available in stores now??? I wonder how exclusive are they then... i got one coming in within the next few days as well.

Not exactly, they aren't going to be made available at all stores. Only select Toys R Us and Hastings stores (MAYBE FYE too, dunno about that one) got these and those stores that did only got a few of each and they won't be getting them again. They were supposed to be available back at con time but my store has always been late on getting stuff out of the back and onto the pegs. Frankly I'm surprised that my TRU was one of the stores to get these since it is a smaller TRU than others I've seen, but it is also the only TRU for quite a distance so I guess it was considered worthy enough for this area. I'm certainly not complaining though, NECA realized that a lot of people wanted these exclusives and made it a little easier for non-con-attendees to get 'em.

Well i was off from work today and since i had free time , i decided to go do a little toy hunting.... my TRU is usually a waste of gas for me, which it was today as well, i then stopped by a target and nothing worth while but a spider-woman with bad paint, so i skipped on that. i then decided to hit a wal greens and see if anything is worth grabbing.

i got lucky and they still had another 4 or 5 of them...

before you ask why 3 of them? i want to be Raph lmafo. in all reality i was going to open one, save one sealed and possibly flip the other one.

either way i was shocked to find this guy so soon.

I almost feel like Hasbro released him so damn soon after revealing him because the last Walgreens exclusive Hasbro toys (Proto-Fett in particular) were revealed far ahead of release enough for scalpers to be on the ready to swoop in and take as much as they could, whereas with this they dropped it out so fast and with little warning that regular collectors or toy buyers have a better chance to get some too.

Only some kind of delusional psychotic with a rare form of OCD would ever buy more than one of any given toy, that's just science!

i think figures are worth at least 2 figures.... one to be opened the other to be sealed. if for any reason one were to break or go bad then you have the next one to could pop open.

Just got back from Ant-Man. Absolutely loved it and decided that I wanted the 3.75" with the ant for my collection. I had been thinking about picking up Wasp for awhile and as it turns out, the Ant-Man with ant and some of the Legends were on sale for $18 at TRU. Picked up Tiger Shark as well since I already had most of the wave. I may as well finish it with Grim Reaper if I can find him now for a non-stupid price. And I had not even planned on getting this wave......

My TRU also had the legends knocked down a few bucks, including the Ant-Man with ant set, but they didn't actually have any of the Ant-Man legends wave because their pegs are still full of the Thanos and Odin waves.

As much as I want it, I can't justify paying $120 for the new Guardians of the Galaxy set. So, for now, I decided to pick up Venom as a consolation prize, and to round out my comic-based Guardians collection.

The Wal-Marts around my area have had plenty of the Ant-Man Legends, but I just have no interest in the rest of the wave. I'm very tempted to snag Bulldozer for my Frightful Four line-up, but technically, it was Henry Camp's daughter Marci who was Bulldozer during the brief period of time when a few Wrecking Crew members were in the Frightful Four, but anyways...
However, as a big fan of Scott Lang and Paul Rudd, I definitely needed this guy in my collection.

Oh yeah, I almost forgot. I finally got around to picking up Ezra, for my Rebels collection.
