Maybe obscure, but nonetheless wanted in terrible, terrible ways!

Talking about obscure, this is my "100% female characters - 0% chance to get them" wishlist :

1- Contessa Valentina Allegra de Fontaine (agent of S.H.I.E.L.D)
2- G-A Namora (..not to be mistaken with NamorITa from the New Warriors)
3- Lady Dorma
4- G-A Miss America
5- 70's Misty Knight
6- 70's Colleen Wing

Did anyone else get the e-mail from BBTS saying they are getting half the number of X-Men Legends they expected and a lot preorders will end up canceled? They said people should find the figures elsewhere. Meh, whatever.

Just got that email and was about to comment on it. I only preordered Stryfe but....meh. Frustrating. if only it were as easy as "should find the figures elsewhere."

But who knows....maybe I'll be one of the lucky ones. but if I do see him elsewhere I'm picking up for sure.

That sucks, actually I cancelled my Stryfe and Cyke yesterday from BBTS, was able to get those 2 from TRU. I just need Storm now.

Why don't you order him here Marvel X-Men Legends Stryfe Figure - Hasbro - Toys "R" Us

Thanks - give that BBTS was a couple of dollars cheaper I figured I would just wait. but since it's in stock on through HTS and there's a concern I'd even get it through BBTS, I went ahead and ordered through HTS and canceled with BBTS.

I still hope I find a Storm at some point but I'm not thinking she's a must. The rest of the wave...meh. Even though having Jubilee would have been cool. It is what it is

Nymesys Prime · 08-06-2014, 01:22 PM

What are the chances of HTS selling anymore Thanos Imperative sets??

Slim. Like "blink and you'll miss it if it does come up" slim. I don't recall the T-Bolts set ever coming up again after it initially sold out... probably did, but only for a second.

Well that sucks...looks like Hasbro dropped a big ass ball this year... Not many Thanos set,Kreon packs,Xmen legends...I need a new hobby.

Serious Lee · 08-06-2014, 03:33 PM

You never know when someone will be willing to part with their extra SDCC sets, I paid a little more to get my X-Force set and looking back it was totally worth it. I just sold my T-Bolts set for cost, because what am I going to do with two sets? I'm not giving up on finding a 'Blastaar' set just yet, one will turn up and a fair finders fee will totally be worth it!

For me it would be the following...

Dazzler (original costume) with variant (x-men costume)
Shatterstar
Wolverine (patch costume)
Havok (x-factor costume)
Polaris (original costume) with variant (x-factor costume)

BAF Mephisto

I'm a HUGE Dazzler fan, I would really dig the sequent body suit with roller skates look! And effects packed in!!

1. Polaris.
2. Selene
3. Enchantress
4. Grim Reaper
5/6. Justice/Firestar. I can't pick. I want them both so badly to finish out the Busiek Avengers line up.

I love my T-Bolts set, even though I'm not familiar with their comic in the last few years, I stopped buying after about issue 20? Or thereabouts, on the first run. I was the guy with 40 crates of comics in any condition, but that's another story lol.

Every set of Marvel Legend figs has a place in my collection, eventually so will the original X-Men...I think.

Moonstone F'N Rocks! As does Crossbones and Luke, and Ghost and Satanna are just gravy! I'm in heavy like with gravy!

Relena Warcraft · 08-06-2014, 04:43 PM

yeah, I got the BBTS email too. Good thing I preordered mine in May. I should be fine. I also got Storm and Magneto elsewhere. I'm not too worried.

IcantBseriouS · 08-06-2014, 06:16 PM

Hello I'm a 3.75" collector slowly being brought over to the 6" Legends. As of right now I own Toybiz Deadpool mic, Hasbro X-Force Deadpool mic, Ultron & I just purchased Baron Zemo today. He's awesome.

Serious Lee · 08-06-2014, 06:38 PM

I also think the new Zemo is terrific! Maybe the most under rated figure in the Cap2 line.

@ Captain Nash - Polaris is a long overdue figure, maybe when Hasbro does their next wave of mutant figures we'll see her and a new Havok (Hoping mightily!)

Enchantress, Hela, Sif, a new Destroyer Armour, Warriors 3 etc etc in a Thor wave?

Lady Loki...

I am always on the hope for a Polaris. Hasbro never fails to disappoint though. Every year. She and Swordsman, I THINK, are the only two heroes introduced in the 60's that haven't been given the Legends treatment as yet.....

A good sort of collecting friend of mine now pokes good natured fun at the....level of annoyance I display about the lack of a ML Polaris.

But I digress. I just can't help but make comments on it. Squeaky wheel here, Hasbro!!!

ultraman zoffy · 08-06-2014, 09:58 PM

Cool set, with the exception of the Schumacher Batman nipples on Stryfe... lol.

Beatlefan333 · 08-07-2014, 12:31 AM

Here's my dream wave
1-quasar-left arm
2-rom space knight-right arm
3-molecule man-left leg
4-high evolutionary-right leg
5-Akhenaten-lower torso
6-mad jim Jasper's-upper torso
7-stardust -head
BAF-Mikaboshi or the Chaos King

Iceman · 08-07-2014, 05:54 AM
