Okay, that is why I was confused. I only care about the Alpha Flight that appeared in the Claremont X-Men books like when the team came to Canada on their way back from the Savage Land and then when Wolverine and Nightcrawler help fight Wendigo.

10 days out and my walgreens order for Mr. Fantastic is still "waiting for pick up from the carrier", despite being fulfilled by Walgreens. Have contacted both Walgreens and USPS and neither can find it, so Walgreens is cancelling and refunding me, I assume with a credit from USPS (no clue how that works.) Sucks because I am relegated to being home mostly now, and cannot take opportunities to hunt anymore, and as such mostly have to rely on online searching unless I'm at a store already 1-2 times a week.

Also got tired of waiting for my loose order for X-23 and Domino, and cancelled my order for them and just ordered the figures via Amazon at a slightly higher price (both less than $30 each including shipping.) I know I said I could wait. I'm trying to be patient. I cannot spend as much money as I used to either, but I'm sick of waiting....waiting....waiting when so much product is floating around out there, yet not able to find anything (due to lack of being able to go out and nothing being there when I am out.) BTW this is not a reflection on where I ordered them from initially, it's just me deciding to go ahead and get something...anything....I thought I could wait but it's harder to wait when there' stuff out there you just can't get to, as opposed to stuff just starting to hit.

No clue what I'm going to do about Thanos. Actually made it out last weekend for a friend's birthday and stopped off at three walmarts on that side of town...no Thanos no where.

Guys I'm not one to be overly dramatic about impatience but I really feel like I'm having zero luck with stuff right now. A lot of things going on in my life and this is one area that has kept me upbeat for the last six months or so. But it's become very disappointing of late. After the long drought at the end of last year, and now so much is "out there" but I've found so little. I look forward to just getting anything at this point, even if it's just a figure or two, even if it's more than I should be paying, because frankly I haven't got the option to go on the hunt much right now. Hopefully later on the year I'll have better luck with the X-Men wave and Deadpool wave 2. Since I'll be ordering cases of those hopefully I will get them at some point.

Good luck Captain. They're out there; I just got one earlier this week. The store I was in had 2 left at the time, and I assume it's a case of 6.

Thanks, yeah all I can do is keep trying, or wait until/if Amazon prices go down to a more reasonable ($25 or less) rate. my collector friend was at one o the stores I went to last weekend, the weekend before that, and they had a full case....I was like...why...did you not...ugh! LOL. I guess it's the thrill of the hunt. or something

Keep your head up dude. You're not the only one seeing and experiencing this. Locally to me the newest legends everywhere are the infinity war. No deadpool nor lizard wave. However i was lucky to be able to order both waves online and get them already. "Hunting" has become disappointing and kind of hard because during my free time im constantly busy. So ordering online is just more convenient.

Thanks! That is all I can do, keep my head up. In the end no one's getting hurt because I can't find my figures, myself included. Hoping we all find what we want eventually. And yes, I am seeing the Infinity War wave out, or remnants of it, interestingly enough I thought the original suspicion was that would be arriving after Deadpool and Lizard...clearly not the case.

Bruh. You're having Hasbro fix a mistake that was on you. You're the one who just bought the figure without taking an actual look at it - hell, from the sound of it, you didn't even look at the back of the box, which shows an unmistakably different Iron Man figure. I mean, fuck the guy who swapped this, but the onus for buying the wrong figure's in your lap, not Hasbro's.

Wal-Mart's not the only one who doesn't pay attention.

@don, I keep seeing some of the Sandman wave in my neck of the woods (usually at Walgreens), so I'll keep my eyes peeled for an ANAD Spidey 2099.

Just a cheap custom until Hasbro finally re-releases him! if I remember building it right- I think it's just Ultimate Warrior with Marvel Select WinterSoldier's hair and some random bits glued on for his belt, shoulderpads, etc...

My Walmart currently has about 20 of him just gathering dust.

Picked up Domino with Ebay's last coupon deal, so I got her for about a dollar over retail. I tried to be patient and wait out for this wave to finally hit local retail, but I caved last week and I am so glad that I did. She came earlier in the week, but I haven't had much time to login. Gonna post some shots I took, but first I gotta say she's one of the more fun Legends Ladies that Hasbro has put out lately. Though, I did quite instantly toss her purple Nerf guns aside for something more suiting.

When I got mine the manager pulled the case fresh out of the back so I can confirm that Thanos comes in a case of 6 which I find a bit weird since regular waves ship in cases of 8.

Huh, interesting. Do the Walgreens exclusives come in cases of 6 as well, or more regular cases of 8?

Wait, you mean people are buying them for more than retail?

Anyway, does anyone want the gray Deadpool without the Sasquatch part for $18 shipped (US)?

If you cant find them otherwise, then yes.

Now that the Jabba Sail Barge has been funded, I wonder what we'll see in terms of Haslab Marvel projects... Maybe some bigger vehicles like the Robbie Reyes Ghost Rider car? Or some new versions of the Sentinel, Fin Fang Foom or Galactus? Though I am rather happy with the MU Galactus...

I've never been present to see how Walgreens exclusive legends are cased, I assume it's at least the same because one time I went into a store and it appeared they had just refreshed the toy area earlier that day since they had two complete cases of the Abomination wave and they had 5 Susan Storms. It feels reasonable to infer they got a case of 6 and somebody had already gotten one.

Seriously? I missed that it actually happened! Not to derail into non marvel talk but I figured as neat as it would be there was no way in hell that was going to make the numbers it needed to.

Gah can we get an X-Mansion and an Avengers Mansion now? Stark Labs? Asteroid M?

[Augustus_Cole]

if anyone sees Cable(deadpool wave)...hollar at ya dude.
and i don't mean pre-orders..and i don't mean anything over 25.00


oh..i have an extra jewel from the amazon set if anyone wants to buy/trade anything for her.

it looks badass to me, good custom.

[CMIII]

The thing is there was no evidence the Figure had been tampered with. The box was taped shut, no noticeable damage.

Not that hard to do. The tape is really easy to remove and replace for anyone who knows what they're doing as far as parts/figure-swapping. We've all seen it countless times before.

I know the people packaging the figures are underpaid people in whatever Asian country Hasbro's utilizing, but even they don't pack a four-year-old figure that's not even in their factories any more in a current package, and for that to get missed by QC on its way out the door. A missing part, sure, but a whole figure and accessories is incredibly hard to swallow.

It's pretty common to see boxes with parts swapped looking like they hadn't been tampered with even though they definitely have been; it's not that hard to retape these boxes to make it look like they'd never been opened before.

I meant to type 8. I can't think of any toyline that's only 6 to a case anymore.

sometimes the "thrill" gets me down. :P
I've been searching for the new Transformers Tailgate figure since early February. I've seen & bought the rest of the wave, just not this one ...
Oh well. I'm checking a Target tomorrow and then taking a break from most shopping until Record Store Day.
