New Marvel Legends/6" Appreciation Thread

It's extremely haphazard but it's got to be because of all of the shipping issues. I don't know what's coming and when anymore. I tried not to order too much into 2022 but some of that may show up before the 2021 stuff.

I did go ahead and buy a loose in hand Morlun off of ebay. No BAF part which is fine, and only a couple of dollars more than it would be with my initial order (which I'm keeping on for now, could always use another base body like that for...something, I'm not sure what though)

Mainly just waiting for my AOA wave. Hard to believe 5 months ago that I thought I'd be waiting and waiting for the Sentinel, when I got that 3 weeks ago.

I'm sure the global bottleneck is most of the issue, however, separate from the international issues, are the domestic ones. Dejoy's overhaul of the USPS is currently featuring "improvements" that have increased the length
of delivery for transnational first class shipping by 5 days and a larger more generalized post office slowdown. A confluence of events that's going to snarl things right on time for the holidays.

I've yet to even sniff my Sentinels and anticipate a far longer than expected arrival date. Oh, well...

Dr Kain · 10-01-2021, 07:40 AM

Yeah, I've got nothing on my Sentinels either and it is now October. So much for getting them in Sept like they told me. -_-

Captain Nash · 10-01-2021, 07:54 AM

Ugh that sucks to hear about both of your orders. I'd much rather be waiting for what I'm waiting for than the Sentinel - just surprised it worked out that way.

Sincerely hoping you both get your orders soon!

TheBlueMarvel · 10-01-2021, 08:14 AM

I appreciate the sentiment, man, but it'll arrive when it arrives. I'm not sweating that and resigned myself to getting it late once it seemed as though they were cycling through single orders first. That's what I get for ordering multiples...ain't worried about it other than that they arrive safely and intact.

Same, but I am getting jealous of seeing everyone else have them but me.

Wow! Where did you order her from? I'm getting her and Morlun. I'm hoping I can complete the BAF without having to pay too much.

Still nothing? Man, that stinks. I'm sorry to see that.

They'll get here at some point. Then you'll have to figure out where to put them and what possessed you to order more than one; they seem larger than I was expecting.

I’ve got a couple car seats sitting around the house so they can ride with me. Galactus will ride shotgun.

Gamestop. I never thought I'd gush over what a great job they're doing- I'm also a gamer, and from that perspective, I've always had a great disdain for them. However, once my BBTS PO for the Classified Alpha Commandos set got pushed back a second time, I noticed Gamestop had it in stock. I ordered it, it showed up with a quickness, and then noticed that most if not all of the upcoming Legends had an estimate that was months earlier than Pulse and BBTS both. I decided to test the waters with Shriek and was not disappointed. I can't speak to the merits of any of the other sites like Dorkside or EE, never having ordered through them, but I've since canceled all non-exclusive POs with Pulse and BBTS.

Don't get me wrong, there are a few cons over the other two, one of which is that preorders that come out on different days won't combine to meet their free shipping threshold, even if the release is one day apart.

Morlun actually appears to be in stock:

Yo! Thanks for the heads up! I grabbed Morlun and AOA Cyclops and Rogue. Thank you!

En Sabah Nerd · 10-01-2021, 12:04 PM

So I checked the Shadow King head on the Happy body and it doesn't work. The socket in the head is just too high for the neck's ball joint to fit in properly. Technically the head can sort of sit on the neck and it looks alright but if the figure fell over it'd be an instant decapitation. I imagine some kind of clay or putty could be used to make it work but I'm not going to try that and potentially mess the neck up so it doesn't even work for Happy.

Hoping we see Infinity Ultron when they inevitably do another Disney+ wave next year.

Seriously. I'm going to set places at the dining room table for them. I hope they aren't fussy eaters.

I'll tell you what head fits Happy's body perfectly, that would be the Hammerhead noggin. It's funny that just before Hasbro retails an actual animated Hammerhead, they deliver a nearly perfect body for the old spare head.

Has anyone seen or gotten the Moebius figure yet?

Hulkwummy · 10-01-2021, 05:12 PM

When do you think the Haslab Sentinel will hit Amazon in the third party?

jwyss234 · 10-01-2021, 05:14 PM

Dorkside has the retro carded Thing in stock. The rest of the wave, singles and cases, is still listed as preorder.

Damn! I am glad you got yourself to the hospital for sure. Many hopes that you're getting to feeling better, even if it takes time. That's shit's so scary, thinking back to my hospitalization "adventure" a couple of years ago. We can be doing fine and then something happens and you don't even realize how close we can come to meeting the Reaper.

Holy shit, man. I didn't even read that until Nash reposted. I hope all is well and that you are on the mend. You have to stay on top of doctor visits, man. Be well.
