So....

How severely should one punish ones daughter for turning ones display into a butt-fest by twisting all the lower torsos until what was once behind is now in front?

Little !@#$%Y

Anyway.
I ordered MCU Scarlet Witch, Brian Braddock, Miles, Silk and Hobgoblin loose and also a big box of X.
As soon as there are some more pics of Electro, Ashley and Abomination, I might try to get those too, but with Nico Minoru, Kate Bishop and a second wave of X-men coming, I need to mind my finances.

hey everyone!

long time reader. 1st time poster.

I just wanted to say that I too am so hyped about the new X-Wave ! have preordered from BBTS .

with the rumoured 2nd wave (which looks ace) it's really great to see that Hasbro is finally listening to us X-Men fans ! I , like some of you , grew up on the 90's cartoons so to be able to have these figures is amazing .

& what introduction wouldn't be complete without a top 5 want list . .

1). Storm - 90's Jim Lee
2). Gambit
3). Jubilee - 90's
4). Sauron
5). Marrow

Pre-ordered the X-Men wave from Premium Collectables, who just listed them for any other Australians here.

One problem with more X-Men incoming is I'm finding it hard to resist spending the equivalent of what this wave cost me on a damned Jubilee wave Storm. I want that figure so much.

Just rumored still at this point. Although the Hasbro Brazil email about Juggernaut was right on the money so my guess is that it will be Abomination.

It looks like with the release of Cottonmouth and now Eel Hasbro is looking to get some Serpent Society members into the mix and I'm cool with that. A full lineup of characters would make a great group of figures to display. Eel at this point is a easy repaint of any normal body at this point for them. Hopefully they are working on some of the more elaborate sculpts for more characters. The list includes:

Rattler
Anaconda
Sidewinder
Black Mamba
Bushmaster (OH Crap this would make an amazing BAF)
Diamondback
Cobra
Viper

Welcome! I think the X-men stuff has all of us out of our minds. If Hasbro thinks ML is selling well with Avengers and Spiderman wait till this X-men wave hits. I bet it will be the best selling wave in their history.

Lufaverde · 06-01-2016, 06:54 AM

@ daetrin... Make her dust ur shelves for a month, I know I hate doing that myself! Also I think watching x3 would be good... Lol!

donmeca2020 · 06-01-2016, 07:23 AM

Just preordered the spidey wave !! Im tempted at the other 2 waves as well but im being strong for now.

Captain Nash · 06-01-2016, 07:28 AM

@Byrnes, I hope for some of those Serpent Society figures as well. I will have to look some of them up as I'm not familiar with all of them, but Diamondback and Black Mamba would be definite buys - for some reason I never cared for Anaconda but I'd probably get to her, the whole female figure thing.

Kapow in the UK still has it in stock I think... don't know how that works out money-wise but it can't hurt to try.

After looking over the trends with Hasbro's SDCC exclusive reveals in the past few years, I'm thinking we may see the SDCC Marvel Legends exclusive revealed tomorrow. Pure speculation, but fingers crossed!!

I hope so! Let's get it over with Hasbro!!! *also crosses fingers*. I'm also almost hoping it's not something I want given how many waves we are appearing to get this year - I mean that's going to be 8 waves and then the 3 packs and WG exclusives and the Con stuff.

I'm counting up and if I don't get the exclusive that's still 43 figures I want - 27 still to come. And that's me scaling back on the new Spiderman, Captain America and Dr. Stranges waves to 2/3 figures a piece.

My wallet is going to hurt so bad (and I still have no clue where i'm shipping anything after July) that I'm just kind of hoping I can pass on this year's offerings. It will probably be something that is a huge priority for me to get, then.

Hmmmm, I'll have to look at my comics because I don't remember him in the group. Off the top of my head I know King Kobra, Bushmaster, Anaconda, Sidewinder, Diamondback, Black Mamba, Puff Adler, and Cottonmouth.

I wish they would have done Kobra first. What I don't wish for is that Hasbro is going to do a SDCC exclusive Society pack.

You know, there's strict punishment, and then there's the kind of punishment that gets you a visit from CPS

No one should be forced to watch X3 ever again.

Thanks! I've asked for a shipping quote, hopefully its reasonable.

Well, it seems that eBay has just revealed a mostly "cosmic" Marvel exclusive for the 3.75 line. Maybe the 6 inch line will also go the Marvel Cosmic route...which works just fine for me!

zombombie · 06-01-2016, 09:39 AM

hubba hubba!

For the first time ever, I bought myself a full wave of Marvel Legends; the UK (European) exclusive "best of" Avengers wave"

I was tempted to buy from them since it's way cheaper and I already have a POL with them, but because they're taking so long in shipping out the other stuff not worth it for me in a sense ugh. Have you ordered from them before?

As much as I'd love that (new annihulus?! dark hawk!? space havoc!? VULCAN!?) I'd seriously doubt they'd do ANOTHER cosmic themed exclusive after 2014. I think the only reason the MU one is cosmic again is because there are enough characters in that one they can get away with 4/5 basically being cake toppers.

Welcome into the light, long time lurker!

No offense intended, but I hope you are wrong. So very, very wrong!!

For the record, I hope I am wrong too, cosmic doesn't get nearly enough love.

My guess is they do something X-Men related. Maybe Jim Lee Wolvie (new wolvie buck), Cyc, Psylocke, Jubilee (slight BAF rework) and Beast (rework of ultimate goblin buck?)

Then have her watch Apocalypse. It's at least better that that.

Lufaverde · 06-01-2016, 10:26 AM

I have a question, how does one get the sdcc exclusive if you don't go? What are our options?

I was referring to an official USA Today reveal, but I'll take an unofficial eBay reveal with the same toothy smile!
