Sauron Wave Acquired.

[Captain Nash]

Put the star of the wave together man! I mean Bishop and Wolverine and to a less extent Omega red and lady deadpool are all sweet icing but this wave is, for me at least, all about the BAF.

Retail sells shelf space before they sell product. They cannot keep allotting more and more space just to fill one band or lines ability to make more product. Their is only so much space and throughput they can deal with.

The lizard wave was mostly passed up because at the time it was coming wearhouses where still shipping the last spider wave and that product needed to sell through before retail could worry about even more order on top of what it had in its system.
Distribution is better than ever before, but it’s now “too good” getting product to stores isn’t the problem, it’s the amount of product still stuck in retail systems not allowing for new product to make its way in replacement.

That still doesn't explain why smaller retailers can't place more orders for the wave, though.

I Modified Lady Deadpool. She did not come with Sword sheaths to hold her Swords so I used a Fodder Deadpool Harness I had and used those Sword Sheaths.

Because Hasbro temporality stops the shipment. The big chains take priority of allotments. They (Hasbro) don’t just keep making more product, they make a specific amounts for retail markets for that year and cut them off. Smaller retailers burn though their allotments quicker since their sales and allotments much less, they also tend to buy from other wholesalers and NOT Hasbro directly.

When Hasbro gets told by the big retail chains and wholesalers they cannot take on anymore product until they hit a certain sell through amount they stop shipments to them, their is no point in shipping things that have nowhere to go. It’s a waste of money and time for everyone

I know we all want everything right away, but from a perspective if you can't find the product because it's not being stocked it doesn't really matter if you want it or not. Stop having 4 waves hit the first two months of the year and over half your product "out" by May. We always have a dry spell between August-December where there's maybe one wave released...why can't some of those waves be set for then? Trust me, Avengers waves will sell no matter when they're released...doesn't have to be the month of or before/after a movie.

on the other hand, and I'm half joking here and half serious, as long as they get the X-men waves out timely I don't really care when the rest of the waves are released.

I think what frustrates and pissed me off, and a lot of you as well is the whole distribution thing, I mean my local Gamestop and comic shop are getting the Sauron wave before the apocalypse wave what the hells that about, same with the venom wave. I preordered them both at the same time and my Venom figures came in yesterday but no dam X-men and they are the ones I want the most!!!

Now Sauron

Hot diggity damn ken! Sauron is.......

[Captain Nash]

He's already my favorite BAF ever and I don't even have him yet.

[En Sabah Nerd]

That Sauron does look pretty sweet. As an aside, I still find his choice of name odd from an in-universe perspective. I get the desire to be equated to the dark lord but Marvel's Sauron has almost nothing in common with his namesake. Why didn't he choose Smaug or Fell? They don't sound as cool but at least those are winged creatures.

Maybe he chose it as he could “soar” on the wind in the sky?

Sauron sounds like soar so it kinda generates a play on words so that's something yeah. As good a reason as any for a pteranodon-man to call himself Sauron.

Has anyone else had any odd issues with FedEx? When my bbts order shipped the estimated delivery date was 8/4 I checked the tracking last night and the package left the local sorting facility around midnight, but the estimated delivery date changed to 8/6

[Starlord67]

Not meaning to change the subject from that beautiful BAF...BUT....Can anyone else verify the "Forge" appearance in the Hasbro SDCC Marvel Legends panel please. Did it appear he would be included in the 2019 offerring to you?

FedEx Just Sux. My Apocalypse Wave was scheduled for Tues Shipped on on Tues. Rescheduled for Mon Delivery arrived in my Town Houston today at 1:38pm so I am expecting for nothing to happen between now and Mon. which I have see Before.

[Penguino]

While they were talking about Skull buster, they were saying he met his end at Forge's hands and that it was a little "Forge-shadowing".

Take that as you will but I'd say 2019 for sure.

The bad pun got booed by the crowd.

When they revealed SKullcrusher during the panel, they mentioned he was taken out by Forge and they showed the comic panels and hinted pretty heavily, but there was no teaser like with Mystique and Quicksilver or even sketches like with Hydra Cap, Magneto and Armin Zola

That's the video of the panel I watched

[Starlord67]

Cool..thanks y'all. Im selling a Forge on EBay and was having second thoughts...but if he's coming in the next year or two im good. I just think they are going to use parts from Deathlok to make him.

Yeah, I don't begin to understand FedEx. According to the tracking code, my Apocalypse wave left the Nashville hub this morning. It's now in Olive Branch, Mississippi. I frakking live in Nashville for crap's sake.
