Except for Iron Man 2, I'm going to disagree there.

All of them have been their own stand alone stories that you can enjoy without having to watch the next month. Like you can enjoy Winter Soldier without having to watch AoU, IM3, or CW.

Which is good because I never want to watch Iron Man 3 again.

Ah my offer got declined

Do you think $50 is a little too high? I think the max I could go is like $45. The shipping always kicks your ass though lol I have it on PO though so nothing to worry about in that sense.

Veronica Mars · 01-23-2017, 03:54 AM

Anyone looking for the Walmart exclusive Shocker?

This is getting ridiculous

I don't know enough about currency in Thailand to confirm whether that's accurate. Seems a bit high? $40 shipped is my personal limit, and it would need to be a Legends figure I was desperate for.
The Spring Festival is underway this week in their country, and mail has already slowed way down for every recent purchase I've made from that part of the world. Business slows way, way down. At this late stage, by the time you get it, BBTS will be pretty close to having them in their warehouse to fill your pre-order. The extra wait may not make it worth it.

That was my impression from the photos. Not the best choice for a BAF anyway. He's not even the best Death's Head, yes?

To Marvel Legend fans, this should not be a 'Shocker!' Ha! The sport of collecting Marvel Legends is getting more popular...You have collectors from all around the world to people who work at the establishments that sell them...And, people will steal for them...E-retailers will be getting most of my change this year...With having to deal with bad distribution, scalpers, and employees stashing the ML figures for themselves on top of the thieving going on out there, the web is the place! Happy hunting...

You really got a thing for Chris pratt huh??

hasbroherofan · 01-23-2017, 08:40 AM

I'm bummed we don't seem to be getting a Mantis figure. I think her design looks great.

I'd say Age of Ultron definitely suffers from it as well. Thor's nonsensical subplot was there pretty much entirely because someone at Marvel corporate wanted them to tease Thor: Ragnarok.

Iron Man 3 isn't THAT bad. It's superior to IM2 and Thor 2.

I'm sorry, but he's a moron if he really thinks these things are worth $50.

That is true. The jacuzzi scene was completely unneccessary. Although, I think it was there more to teach Thor about the gems than Ragnarok.

No modern figure is worth $50 bucks... i know older toys can fetch good money but for a modern?? Na..

Captain Nash · 01-23-2017, 10:20 AM

If the rumored list for the rest of GOTG wave 2 is true, I'm going to be saving a lot of money on this wave. Don't need a Warlock, don't need a Gamora, I might get rocket (probably since I'll have the rest of the GOTG), will definitely get Deaths' Head and Nebula, don't need a Star Lord, and I can definitely pass on the Ex Nihlo BAF. This is from marvelousnews.I don't loiter there but I do check in now and again. Not sure how confirmed it is, but that's the rumored line up and my feelings on it.

My other feeling: No Spectrum is disappointing but if it ends up being a Spectrum/Blue Marvel 2 pack I will eat that disappointment with a smile.

Edit: I got my non-ark sites mixed up. iT's from Marvelous news not the other one that I check every so often. sorry!

My Custom Domino Coming To Life.

Captain Nash · 01-23-2017, 10:31 AM

Ken that's gorgeous!!! I think Domino is one of those characters we are likely to get redone eventually, but not a core character. I think Hasbro's first attempt looks alright though but yours is even better!

If that's the wave, I'm with you. Aside from Nebula and Gamora (if she's better than the last one), none of these hold any value for me. Even Death's Head, since the only one worth any of my money would be the original, yes?

Also, what's this about a two-pack?

Oh, nothing confirmed on the two pack. We know we're getting Spectrum, and since she's not in this wave, I don't know where she'll fit. I guess wave 3 for GOTG if that's real, or a two pack or exclusive. It's just my own personal hope she'll be in a two pack with Blue Marvel since Mary Jane and Dark Phoenix are ending up in two packs.

PS, it's not from the site I thought it was, it's from Marvelousnews - I updated my post on it but I wanted to clarify again. Sorry!

Ahh. At least that's a two-pack where I'd want both figures in it, unlike the others (though I'll buy Dark Phoenix/Cyclops regardless to support my merry mutants).

Though now I'm musing about a three-pack: Spectrum, Blue Marvel, and Miss America.

I don't know much about MA, aside from she's in a title I don't read. But she has a good visual, that would be a good set, I'd definitely buy.

I think you're absolutely right and I'm more than fine with waiting

I absolutely agree. They just want a killing on something that costed $50 but in the US far cheaper. But yeah when you price something close to $90 you're just in it for the money.

I just figured it would be a good fit, since it would round out the Ultimates with Black Panther and Captain Marvel.

Spectrum as in Monica Rambeau, not Spectrum as in Doctor Spectrum.
