Thank you! those of us who are exciting for the wave appreciate that. Someone doesn't feel the wave is for them, that's cool, we all have different tastes. I'm sure all but the completists have passed on most of or all of waves before.

What gets me is the people (and it's not so much on this site) who are griping each time an AoA figure is revealed in a wave that's already been said is going to be an AoA wave. Like..what exactly were they expecting?

Comic shops should have them if they have EE accounts.

I wouldn't worry about what other people want or don't want. If it's being made and you're happy, then that should be enough. There's a weird insecurity, seemingly, on this site about vocalized opinions over reveals, likes and dislikes.

I like many things that people don't and I'm largely ambivalent about what is said. The Sentry BAF was revealed and I announced immediately that I'd be army building it. Some people were on the fence, others said they'd pass. Herc is still near the very top of my favorite figs of this year, and while I rarely see it peg warming, there were complaints ranging from his man-bun to his smirk. People pilloried choices like Living Laser, Nighthawk, and Night Thrasher. I remain happy with all of those figs.

I know there's a propensity on the internet to seek 'likeness'/'sameness,' but, beyond that being developmentally askew of what one would expect of actualized adults, it may be contributing to the severity of the echo-chambers so prevalent today. It's like society is regressing as a result of coming together on the intertubes. Rather than learning from the sharing of individual differences in experience and/or opinion, we are opting for balkanized camps and treating any counter argument as an affront to the senses and an excuse to create arbitrary divisions.

What I enjoy is completely independent of whether someone shares my sentiments and celebrates it with me, or if they decry those same things. I try not to be overly sensitive to departures from my personal preferences. It's not crucial and there are far bigger issues in life than "oh you don't like that Citizen V fig, well, then you must be an idiot."

I told you before awhile back. Hasbro people are lurking here at Toyark forums.

Every time we open our mouths about wanting certain X-Men figures they get made such as the Age of Apocalypse figures.

Not for nuthin', but people have been saying that for years here as well as on complementary sites likes the Fwoosh. The characters that have shown up in waves and on fan polls have pretty much transformed that 'suspicion' into 'fact' and it's now an open secret.

FYI - representatives of the major online retailers also lurk here and have even made themselves known throughout the years..

Dammit, then I guess I should just bite the bullet and update my payment info with my bank card on Pulse.

Thanks Fox- Been re-reading some early NM and there was definitely a "horror" vibe to them (especially once they brought Sienkiewicz in) so I wanted to try doing something like that with them.

[Trivial Psychic]

If Hasbro folks are indeed cruising these boards, all I have to say is....


STOP. MAKING. WALMART. EXCLUSIVES.

Thank you in advance,

The friendly collecting community.

And a Lady Deathstrike that is scary looking in the way she's meant to be, not because of the quality of the figure.

But get rid of them and they don't have a home anywhere else (there isn't a single figure of any wave i would have kicked for Binary Captain Marvel, Worthy Captain America, or Thanos redeco). So keep then coming! People just need to be patient and wait for restocks... once the Scalpers, Hoarders, and Collectors have their fill they tend to be readily available.

She’s certainly high on my list for redos. Right up there with Longshot and Toad.

I don’t know, you could easily have booted jacket Captain Marvel for Binary, and 2012 Captain America for Worthy Cap. Then again, the 2012 Captain America was just a straight rerelease to save money on a wave that was almost completely new tooling.

Yeah- a Worthy Cap for the Dude Thor BAF wave Cap wouldn't be bad... but giving up my Leslie Nope action figure for Binary... NEVAH!

[Boy Blunder]

Picked up my Jean three-pack yesterday, and while Jean is clearly the best part of that set, I'm really fond of the Wolvie, too. Finally having the bone claws really gives him a bit of personality. They look good!

Also picked up a complete Brood Queen BAF this weekend. Another one off the bucket list! Now to get rid of this old Brood Queen torso...

[Tim]

If anyone has the set and don’t need Cyclops hit me up.

[ThorOdinson123]

Well if Hasbro does lurk these forums. Hey Hasbro where are the MCU figures of Wong and Short Haired Endgame Captain Marvel? Aso can we please get Armored final battle thor from the end of Endgame please.

[Tim]

^^^^Exactly! Also Add Odin, the rest of the warriors three and Civil war black widow to that list

[Tim]

Also I got lucky and was able to score a Emma Frost for $1.99 at Walgreens. They were getting rid (Clearancing) all of their entire toy section so my hunt for her is over http://

Screw it, another “Endgame” wave. Final Battle Thor, Nebula, Captain Marvel, Rocket Raccoon, Wong, Stealth Suit Cap, and Miek. Or the Ancient One.

[JCarterVA]

Dear Hasbro, thanks for Bro Thor but he needed some Asgard Mead bottles to complete the figure. My request list:
Todd McFarlance Spiderman and MJ
Frank Cho Spider-Woman and MJ
Walt Simonson Thor, Sif, Odin and Warriors 3 and Heimdil
Finish Jim Lee X-Men
Alan Davis Excalibur team
Dale Keown Hulk
Gary Frank Hulk
John Buscema Conan, Hercules, Capt America, Nebula, Thor

I really hope when/if we get a Deathstrike that Hasbro will go all out for her, and that she won't just be the cost-efficient repaint of the wave stuck with those dang symbiote claws. As her most defining trait, unique hands sculpts are a must.

Wow, that's an insanely nice haul. Was that the only store in your area doing the mass clearance? Gonna have to keep an eye out at my local stores, now!

[Tim]

Yep! I went to 4-5 more Walgreens hoping to find any more for a similar price to help out people on here but no luck. Every other store had them for $20. This store was clearancing out all toys. But strangely enough they had one Danni moonstar but she came up $20. So might’ve been a glitch in the system
