There seems to always be a rather large delay with receiving figures in-store for any states east of the Mississippi. Particularly if you are outside of a major metropolitan area.

speaking of the sheild 3 pack this past friday was the first time i ever seen it in person at my local TRU.

Yes, it actually is war machine

Awesome display, mate! You know, the Toybiz Doctor Strange doesn't look half bad alongside the newer Hasbro figures at all. I thought he'd begin to look dated, but he looks really good! Still love that Series 3 Ghost Rider, and again I much prefer the TB Elektra. Is that a Marvel Select Spider-Man I assume?

I agree! I like the character anyway, but this looks great!

Captain Nash · 05-13-2015, 07:56 AM

I agree that Blizzard looks awesome. He and Strange are the must haves in this wave for me, if I decide to not get the whole wave for BAF. Then again I'm all about the B level and below villains.

castrobabble · 05-13-2015, 08:20 AM

Nice displays! I like the fact they're not overcrowded vanilla poses.

While I've posted a few photos before, here's a video of my displayed figures thus far. Unfortunately the rest are still in storage.

Thank you, I like that Strange too, the Spider-Man in the forefront is the Select Superior Spider-Man and there is a black costume select version in the back. I like mixing them in my legends displays when possible.

im in utter shock....

I went to the TRU in pines and a target in the same area in pines and spotted 2 spider-woman figures. they have had shot looking paint. one with a black mark on her boob, both had it appeared to be belly buttons or maybe just more crap paint. i had to pass on both of them. my search continues.

Not sure how far you are but we were in Springfield last month for JoeCon. We hit a few stores around and saw just loads of the Odin waves at Target and Walmart. Also found the Spidey Hobgoblin wave. I thought the TRU we hit was packed compared to Denver area.

as of the last 2 or 3 weeks we have finally started to have stores stocking the All father wave and the new Thanos wave. i guess florida is late to the the legends game.

I'm glad I'm in the NW, cause usually when Cali gets it, it comes up to us eventually...

Speaking of CW, I hope to see wave 3 here soon, been somewhat hunting for them, which is rare since I haven't hunted in a long time. The ironic part is if you hit up TFW side some people are complaining that they're seeing too much of wave 1 deluxes and voyagers so yeah...distribution will always suck at local retail.

Cheers man! Yeah I'm not a fan of stuffing every figure on the shelf, would rather have half in storage and the others in themed displays.

Captain Nash · 05-13-2015, 01:45 PM

Moonstar, Magik, Madrox, Polaris, Selene, and Exodus. While there are others I do want, give me these and I swear to X I will never ask for another X-Man character again....

....unless you count Alpha Flight members of course.

VonPooten · 05-13-2015, 03:56 PM

S'it too much to ask for a Magma, too? Cannonball, Moonstar, Sunspot, Magik, Magma, that would be a dream.

... with a BAF Warlock.

I'm a couple hours north of Springfield. Yeah, the Odin wave is pretty abundant here now too. Unfortunately until the stores clear them out I do not expect to see the Thanos wave.
