Yeah i know they haven't been shitty with prices before they usually only charget 24.99 for every figure no matter what they are Klaw to Mcu black panther. the worst part was they weren't even for me I'm looking for this guy.

Was thinking the same damn thing he didn't appreciate the smart ass. ness? Of me he just stared until I left haha

Scalping trash like that is the reason I wasn't sad to see most of the comic stores in my area go out of business. I'd see these guys at Wal-Mart grabbing all the figures and then see them at their store a couple days later for double, triple the price. They'd say trash like ''It's hard to find'' yeah, because these assholes buy them all.

It was a fight to get the Giant Man wave from Toy Biz back in the day. Turned out they'd have Wal-Mart employees call them, so they'd get it first. I got there one night when they got stocked, had two cases full and here came those asshats lol. The look on their face when they realized I got them all.

Onslaught: Taskmaster/Onslaught, both detailed figures!

Giant Man: Giant Man, his height on the small, close second, Black Panther.

Space Venom: Space Venom, close second, Electro (look Ma, no hands! Not cool this time!).

Abombination: Abomination (thought the worst, turn out to be the best, IMO.).

Juggernaut: Rouge or Wolverine...way too close to call, 2nd, Deadpool (Pinky, bugs me!).

Marvel Legends mult-pack: TRU 3 pack Cap, Vision, and Hawkeye...All three well designed figures (look Ma, no wings! Not cool this time either!).

Can't wait for Dr. Strange wave to see which figure, in hand, IMO, is the best of waves...And, anybody know if the SDCC Dormammu is the same color as the his BAF that is coming out soon? And, anyone wondering why there has been no ML Doc Ock for any of the Spider-Man themed waves we have gotten so far, interesting...

By Wave:

Absorbing Man Wave: Jack O Lantern

Red Onslaught Wave: Mockingbird

Giant Man Wave: Black Panther

Juggernaut wave: Rogue but Kitty Pryde is an extremely close second.

Space Venom Wave: Silk

Abomination Wave: Wonder Man

I'm going to guess Enchantress is going to be my favorite for the Dr. Strange wave but hard to say.

Namor for all the exclusives. And Enchantress. I can't decide. I really love that SDCC set. But Namor is so flashy!

Over all winner. Rogue. Even if she's a (desperately needed) redo of a figure made by Toy Biz and not a 100% new figure she just is amazing. Which, if Kitty is a close second, it's entirely possibly she's my second favorite figure of the year, even more than Enchantress which is absolutely crazy.

As for the Dr. Octopus question, I'm going to say this now and predict he will be a BAF in either this upcoming mostly revealed wave, or a BAF for a third Spider-Man wave next year (which I assume there will be, with Homecoming being the second wave and most likely having a more movie oriented BAF.) And the other wave's BAF will be Sandman.

I wanted to add, I was out walmarting last night, hit a bunch of walmarts in the Middle TN area. I'm kind of watching my funds so I did not pick up any myself or for any arkers, but in almost every store I went in they had a ton of the MCU Winter Soldiers and Falcons. I'm sure they'll be showing up in droves soon for everyone. We are talking falling off the pegs and displays as well in some cases numbers. For those interested or in the area, I went to Rivergate, Hendersonville, Lebanon, Carthage, Mt Juliet, and Hermitage. Carthage is way out of the route and had not a single solitary Marvel Legend at all, but there were many many in every other store except for one and I can't remember which one it was

. I know it wasn't Lebanon, they had the displays and cases vomiting these figures into the aisles. I saw some Phoenixes (Phoenixi??) Havoks, Icemans and Kitty Prydes as well, but nothing of the ones that people are really looking for. And of course, tons of the Odin and Thanos waves STILL. Also the Hendersonville store switched its shelves around and I guess they finally returned that banged up Boomerang. I kind of missed him LOL.

There was a shop in town here that would do the same thing just buy everything they knew they could up the prices on. I would not have minded so much but their store always had like 60 Pokemon card players that they treated like gods even though they never purchased anything more than a soda or a candy bar.

Has there been any mention of New ML Moon Knight?

En Sabah Nerd · 09-03-2016, 09:22 PM

My Walmart finally gets the Giant-Man wave and has at least five of everyone EXCEPT Black Panther who they have none of.

Also for some reason this display was over by the photo pickup section.

The only new Moon Night figure due out is the Marvel UNIVERSE (I refuse to call them "Legends") that they showed off at SDCC and looks like a Happy Meal toy. Nothing so far on a new Legends figure.

Thank goodness the ToyBiz version was pretty good, so I'm not feeling the pull for it that others are.

I would actually be really excited for Mr. Knight in his three piece. Just creating a new torso for the suited body would do the trick.

The ToyBiz one is decent only real problem is that I prefer him in all white and he's expensive on the aftermarket if you want the silver version.

Can someone GRAB me a Winter Solider from Walmart???

Favorites I forgot:

SDCC Raft: Spidey (I know, another Spider-Man, IMO, awesome figure, 2nd, Enchantress.)
Walgreens: Big Pun.
Target 2 Pack: War-Machine.

I see a lot of us have favorites, that will be had some how, I know I will get my favs at the end of the day, through the hunt or online...but what about the figs on your 'maybe list' for this year ML Waves and Exclusives.

Here are mine:

Absorbing-Man: Absorbing Man and Spider-Gwen.
Abomination: Eel and Iron Skull.
Space-Venom: Spidey, Miles, and Silk.

Love this part about collecting, the visually looking at the astecis of the fig, the reviews on the figures, the great pictures Arkers put on this site and other great pics online...favs are easy, but the maybes are exciting part about collecting, too in many ways...happy hunting, and wish me good luck which 'maybe figure' will be the first one I choose...

Harbinger · 09-04-2016, 06:52 AM

My favorites this year thus far :
Redslaught: onslaught, udon taskmaster
Slightly taller man: red guardian, shield agent
Absorbing man: beetle, speed demon, spider gwen
Juggernaut: deadpool ( duh right? ), wolverine, pa-ho-enix
Walgreens: punisher and namor
Wal-mart: james "winter soldier" barnes
Target 2 pack: war machine

Then someone got to your display and raided the Panthers from it. That display comes with 4 Black Panthers in it. I put that display on the floor at my store. And it seems that most stores are getting 2 or 3 cases of the Falcon/ Winter Soldier cases depending on the size of the store. Remember that the Fal/WS is a half case (4 Figures, 2 of each), My store got 3 cases. I made sure all 3 cases got put out at my store, so 6 of each were put on the shelf.

donmeca2020 · 09-04-2016, 09:32 AM

Went to my local walmart today, checked the toy aisle and besides the pegs almost falling over with red onslaught wave and and some absorbing man wave, there was nothing else eye catching other then i see they had only 1 winter soldier figure. Luckily im not looking fir him or falcon....

Im glad cause it means scalpers cant move em. Wish they would re-release the juggernaut wave adding an extra deadpool ( not taking away any others )
