Good to know I'm not the only one seeing this problem. I've only seen GOTG ML figures once at retail, and it was at TRU, and they had exactly 1 Starlord and 1 Iron Man figure. I only had enough cash for 1. Normally being the big IM fan that I am, I would of grabbed him, but really liked the movie so went with Starlord, that and seeing IronMan being the cheapest figure of the all and be able to get him shipped for less them retail made me leave him. I went back when I actually had $$ and they were all gone even the upc code/shelf spot. I don't want to buy the stupid 2'' figures, only gimmick figure I might consider buying is Ronan, and not into the other stuff, although I may end up going as Starlord for a Halloween Party so might end up buying some blasters and a mask.

Yeah the X-Men wave trickled in my area, luckily I was able to get the ones I want though.

Yes that's all I see is Starlord and IM. It is sad that the ML's are getting restocked so well. I wonder if it was because the X-Men box set scared off the latest X-Men Legends TRU Exclusive? Considering those didn't sell well until after the sale.

I found Magneto today, I guess I was late cause someone else snagged the Storm. This one per case thing wouldnt be so bad if we only 2 wolverines, 1 cyclops, 1 strife. This load out really sucks. Plus the TRU here only ordered one case. Odds are depending on your area, you wont see another case for 2 weeks or more and that IF you happen to be there at the perfect moment to get Storm.

Those are the only two I need. Mostly because I have the rest. Glad I prioritized this wave.

Here I been seeing Nova and Rocket warm shelves for a bit...None of them have been hard to find. Make sure you have them pricematched to Target website..the were like 16 and change...

Captain Nash · 10-02-2014, 03:04 PM

I've been seeing Rocket, Star-Lord and Iron Man mostly in my area, though I've seen a Drax a couple of times as well. I know I saw a Gamora in the wild maybe once but I don't think I have seen a Nova yet - don't suppose I will at this point.

It's funny how different regions have different figures that shelfwarm.

My latest "f*** it, it's a female Marvel Legend" purchase, Red She Hulk!

Great figure. Makes me wonder who else this body could be used for.....Thundra, Lyra, Jen Walters She Hulk.....thats about it.

xMostWanted559x · 10-03-2014, 09:03 PM

Do u guys save your card back or packaging. My infinite series boxes I plan to to keep but I got some older legends and toy biz legend clamshells don't know what to do with them. Thinking maybe on the newer legends I'll dump the bubble and keep only the card back

advocatepinoy · 10-03-2014, 09:12 PM

For the infinite series, yeah but ToyBiz, only for some

redfox · 10-03-2014, 11:12 PM

Old friends...

Feijai · 10-04-2014, 05:02 AM

Found Carnage, Agent Venom, and Black Cat at Walgreens, but no X-Men at my TRU yet.

TheXtremisT · 10-04-2014, 06:16 AM

I keep all of mine, apart from the swaps with the same card. I tend to cut off the front flaps and bits, to keep only the literal card back. I love looking back at them, but they take up a lot of space in my wardrobe after a hundred or so purchases.

I reckon you'd get a decent sale on ebay as a lot.
