I'd be shocked if that figure did. But then again I didn't think I'd find Punisher or Hawkeye either.

Yes, but my understanding is that these types of places buy overstock of anything they can, doesn't mean they get the entire wave it's usually just a handful of certain figures like Hope Summers, Klaw Draxx etc. Deadpool being such a popular character probably sold out and the Grey version is the regular and the Red is the Variation I believe. That would make it even more rare and unlikely to show up. But anything is possible. I know the entire wave of Terrax has been seen so maybe. I'll let you know if I come across anything.

I don't know man at Ross they just opened the cases of the MU three packs and set the whole thing out. they had four or five out with stickers on them and a fresh case with the seam split.

Hasbro if your discreetly reading this , why you no make x-men figures !!!

I don't think the movie figures that Hasbro made for X-Men(like Jean Grey, Beast, Colossus, Cyclops et al) sold very well. In addition, the costumes are so far removed from the comics(compared to Marvel Studios movie designs) that Hasbro might think they lack appeal.

In addition, the Wolverine Origins line was a shelf-warmer. Not very encouraging for Fox movie X-men figures.

With that said however, I would like a DOFP movie Wolverine with the mask shown in the deleted scene of "The Wolverine". At the very least, a Wolverine and Michael Fassbender DOFP Magneto.

Surprisingly enough though, even Diamond hasn't announced movie DOFP Marvel Select figures.

interesting , then again might be a major box office thing i.e they have plans, but won't release or make a huge assortment depending on the box office of the movie, this gives Hasbro time to say "we're doing x-men DOFP" in July SDCC .... so maybe if we go see x-men days of future past in the first week twice ... [this is just assumptions]
it might be the case that x-men doesn't satisfy them unlike spider-man , having said this looking at how well the Avengers did [box office] they got their own movie line if you will..even Loki ! and recently captain america 2 , we've even got a line for guardians of the galaxy figures to me is kinda surprising because i still know little about them. So they either get to see the movie before or us or they have huge faith in the producers that are kinda unlined as "avengers saga" i.e Iron-man - Avengers , Thor 2 - Avengers Age of Ultron , Ant-man - Avengers 3. Seems like Box-office if i remember correctly i think the x-men film [1st one] did pretty well in it's time compared to other x-men films. So they might have plans but waiting till the movie comes out to see if they'll make money.

If they make a X-men line similar to the new CA2 or SM2 it would be a huge hit. They have only made a handful of good X-Men so far. The Wolverine line to me is pretty good. Had they released the Rogue/Ruby Cyclops it would have been 100 times better.

Agree to this^ it was only those smaller Wolverine figures that shelf warmed, if they did indeed released the ML line to actual brick n mortar and not just to the LCS it would for sure sold well. The fact that most of them sold out at the LCS for a higher mark up should prove that.

I thought Redpool was only released in Europe. Maybe he's appearing in discount stores over there.

[Serious Lee]

I think that if by some miracle that the 'missing' variants were showing up at our discount stores and the ones in the US, that we would have heard something by now.

BTW, are the Rocket/Terrax/Zola series packaging multi-lingual? Or just in english?

I've only seen English here in CO.

Thank you HTS and 20% to boot as well! I'm pretty sure I'll never see either two since the Targets and TRU are failing to stock them in my area. I don't get why BW has the hands to swap out? Is it to carry the gun and the other one isn't able too?

Thanks!

We have the Hit Monkey series up here at our Giant Tiger's (discount store), but no other series, not at Winner's or Marshalls. I'll check our Value Lot store today or tomorrow, but they usually just carry crap.

And HM packaging is french and english up here. I don't know if that means that's it for circulation overall, but if any customizers are looking for Archangel PM me please, I'd like to pick your brains about something lol

BBTS must know these are going to be the peg/shelf warmers in their warehouse. $12.99 each, too bad it can't be the other ones as well. Star Lord - Guardians of the Galaxy Marvel Platinum Legends Series 01 - Star Lord - Guardians of the Galaxy (2014 Movie) Figures
Iron Man - Guardians of the Galaxy Marvel Platinum Legends Series 01 - Iron Man - Guardians of the Galaxy (2014 Movie) Figures

I just order them. I really just want Star Lord, Iron Man & Gamora. So I'll adjust my order on Amazon for just Gamora hehehe... Saved like $10 right there, thanks man.

[ultraman zoffy]

It'd be nice if the online retailers would start their figures at MSRP then adjust the prices later as needed, especially for pre-orders. It may be a difference of a few dollars, but it's still scalper-esque to adjust prices based on their anticipation of demand. If they sell out of a particular figure fast at MSRP, they're still making money over whatever their wholesale cost was. Sh*ts weak.

No problem I did as well, even with BBTS shipping still cheaper.

Whilst it would be nice, I get what they do. It's to cover the cost of the other figures they'll have to clearance or sell at wholesale just to get rid of. BBTS or one of the other online retailers gave that reply to one of the guys in the 3.75 thread a few months back

Non-shopping related appreciation pic of a character I finally resorted to customizing that sorely needs a figure reboot from Hasbro:

[cidman911]

Super clean lines on that Black Bolt custom! Wow.

[aefranci]

Just a quick question...to those that own the apocalypse baf, do you know if the tubes are interchangeable? Meaning can you put the tube that came with the left arm on the right side and vice versa?

[kylactus]

there the same.

[aefranci]

Awesome thanks!!

[cidman911]

I see knockoff Joe Fixit Hulks sans coat/tommy gun for $20 shipped on eBay.

Awesome figure. I wonder how these factories are getting the molds for old ToyBiz figs.

Gonna poop myself if they make Spider-Hulks and Hulkbusters.
