No issues with the one I got from Target.

Exactly. Some of the crowd here doesn't realize that there's some higher income people and successful folk who are into the hobby of collecting Legends and other higher end collectibles. $350 while expensive is a small drop in the hat. A lot of us spend a heck of a lot more money on higher end items and Marvel Legends are just a small piece of what we collect.

I have a 12 year old with another on the way so too late for me.

Like anything, I always have to find that balance between the #1 priority of family and those responsibilities and then fit in the hobby when I can.

Sounds crazy yet its like the DOFP Sentinel (sold 2 years ago) versus HasLab's Sentinel (designed 2 years ago). Some do not like how they bought DOFP Sentinels. Yet it did not stop 12,000 from buying a bigger better HasLab version. If a couple years from now collectors (likewise) buy a bigger Mastermold, their HasLab Sentinels will be perfectly fine (just sell the MM accessory). Just like Mr. Stall said, collectors now got a choice, at various size Sentinels. Same choice can be given to collectors for a bigger Mastermold, perfect in size for their bigger HasLab Sentinels.

That's possible I guess. We'll never know unless they actually do it, as it's just hypothetical at this point.

They got an extra year, in the postponed Eternals movie. Thus the ML team can definitely start things off with some awesome helmets of the Celestials. Eventually doing a big Galactus helmet, likely bigger than the awesome Galactus Legendary bust...

My wife found the deluxe War Machine earlier this morning so woohoo. Classic/old school shelf lineup getting bigger.

Snagged the Spider-Man retro wave along with Destro and Snake Eyes. I said I wasn't going to collect GI Joe but nostalgia kicked in lol. The Target Roadblock is cool but I'm holding off for now.

Oof! Congrats on the kid, condolences on all that sweet disposable income!

Warpath finally arrived from Target.com today. Went to pick up a prescription from Walgreens and found Moon Knight. Nice looking figure.

Harbinger · 07-31-2020, 02:34 PM

I think i had a good day today.

Hopefully tomorrow i can find maverick, piratepool ( never thought hed be snapped up...go figure ) and warpath along with beachhead and some cobra troopers.

Thor Laserpunch · 07-31-2020, 02:58 PM

Nice shillelagh bro

Robb · 07-31-2020, 03:08 PM

I was able to get the two from Strong Guy wave I wanted from Wal-Mart this morning and then a few hours latter was able to get cobra troopers and roadblock from Target.Still need more troopers.

Starlord67 · 07-31-2020, 05:47 PM

Just so ya know...its easy to miss or forget the Daily Bugle newspaper that comes with Gwen Stacey...I had to dig it out of the trash!! D'uoh!!

Shinzero02 · 07-31-2020, 06:07 PM

I'm kind of annoyed that War Machine matches up with the Retro Iron Man far more than the Anniversary Iron Man. Mainly because I used the Anniversary Thor/Iron Man/Captain America for my Classic Avengers display.

Thor Laserpunch · 07-31-2020, 06:40 PM

Strong disagree. Need that muhfuh sooooo bad for my West Coast Avengers.

En Sabah Nerd · 07-31-2020, 06:53 PM

I think the new War Machine looks fantastic but for $30 I find him lacking. If they had included the base like the deluxe Black Widow has then I'd probably have pre-ordered. As is I'll wait and see if I can get him on sale, even if it's a minor sale.

hasbroherofan · 07-31-2020, 06:58 PM

With War Machine I'm now counting down to Modular Armor Iron Man.

Dan Yun did say a retro wave inspired by the 90s IM line was possible...

Oh yeah! This Iron Man armor is a must.

En Sabah Nerd · 07-31-2020, 07:15 PM

I'd also like Modular Iron Man, but we better get Silver Centurion first.

We are, aren't we? I'm pretty sure Silver Centurion Iron Man was confirmed to be in the works. And one of the recent videos, I think it was from Toy Shiz, had one of the Marvel Legends reps say we'll be seeing "more Iron Man", so an Iron Man wave is likely coming sooner than later. I'd love to see a figure of the Modular Armor Iron Man. I'd also love a "Heroes Return" armor Iron Man.

I hope Captain America and especially The Incredible Hulk are up next for new Marvel Legends waves, they're long overdue.

Starlord67 · 07-31-2020, 07:58 PM

Are there any good Iron Man villans we have not gotten other than MANDARIN? Maybe a classic Living Laser? Firebrand? Classic Ghost?

Hulkwummy · 07-31-2020, 08:03 PM

Blizzard needs to be made as he appears in the 90s Iron Man cartoon.
