I see Dani is back on the Walgreens website but showing temporarily out of stock online. Don't give up hope yet. I know it's harder to do than say. And I'm one of the lucky ones who found one in the wild, in addition to my expensive ebay purchase, so I really have two.
Walgreens exclusives are becoming less fun since last year. Some of the figures are regionally harder to find and when they go up on the website, you're SOL if you didn't get to them in the 2-3 minutes they were up. I can understand that kind of a window for something like SDCC exclusives, but it's ridiculous for brick and mortar stores. I hope thought that many people who hadn't found her yet managed to nab one. I'd rather everyone have 1-2 than me try to get a third. |
Heck, I just need one Dani. I have fodder parts enough to make bodies for Wolfsbane and Mirage. I’m decent enough at painting.

Missed Dani on the site, but I did the inventory checker, which I know isn't always right. I'll run by a few places after work. Fingers crossed!
|
I screencapped the inventory checker on my phone, so I can check them today, hopefully.
|
I compared the inventory checker for Dani and Silver Surfer today and the results that came up were exactly the same for both figures. So the inventory checker definitely isn't trustworthy. I'm starting to wonder if Walgreens is going to stop carrying Legends since most of the ones near me have been devoid of ML figs for most of the year.

^ Can I ask how you are changing the belts on your female figs?

You can heat up the upper torso and pop it off or you can heat the belt until it stretches over the legs. I usually stretch it over the legs because it is quicker, but you can snap the belt if you aren't careful. |

Snagged 2 more Dani’s....had to hit about 8 Walgreens and drive damn near 100 miles round trip. Varying degrees of associate knowledge, and a real crapshoot with their website. I really got lucky that I hit one where the lady working the truck, she had it right in her cart. The other had it sitting in the back room, and the associate was nice enough to actually look. Both were listed as in stock on their site. The other 6 I hit were waiting on trucks, and one had one on “hold” behind the counter for some asshole. I would say that’s somewhat accurate if you consider they could be on an in-transit delivery. One of them did have some rough paint apps, kind of bummed...but might sit on it until I stumble on a better one. The second was passable, but certainly not perfect. Glad to be done with her

I’ve had bad luck with calling ahead, and honestly don’t trust when I hear a “we don’t have it, sorry” because I’ve walked right into a store after calling and found the figure. |

Please round out classic Excalibur, please please PLEASE

At the London MCM convention, I hope somebody asks about more Hulk figures, more Iron Man figures and that we get to see the Build-A-Figure characters for the Fantastic Four and Spider-Man waves next year. For 2020, I'd love to see classic Wasp, comic Falcon, classic Leader, Ringmaster, classic Shocker, Firestar, Armani suit Doc Ock (or any Doc Ock) with bendable tentacles, classic U.S. Agent, Pantheon brown jumpsuit Professor Hulk, Silver Centurion Iron Man, some kind of a new Rogue, and a classic Captain Marvel II. Of course, a John Romita Sr. based Spider-Man figure, a John Byrne based chainmail Captain America with a smiling head sculpt, and a new sold-separately Hulk that isn't a Build-A-Figure, Exclusive or two-pack would be nice too.

I'm really hoping they show a Shadowcat at the London convention. And of course, FA Storm and Firestar. But doubtful on those.
Still....rumors are still abounding that the line may be ending after 2020. I don't know how much truth I put to that yet, but if we can get those three, and redos of Classic Falcon, Lady Deathstrike and Banshee next year, I just might think it's likely. There are a ton of other figures I want to see done but along with the rest of OG X-Force of which there's only three left and which seems a lock those are the only real "must dos" I feel Hasbro has left. I wouldn't normally put Banshee and Deathstrike up there, but those are the last two that are just really, really bad that are left to redo. To a lesser extent they really should try to get redos of Mandarin, Leader, Pyro, Avalanche, classic Angel, and the real White Queen design out there, but those are probably second tier needs. So yeah..15 "must/should" dos. I think it might be possible. Any other figures anyone would add to Hasbro's "must or really should"? Not just taking into account a personal wishlist, we have to apply some logic here. |
@Captain Nash - I'd love to see Shadowcat, First Appearance Storm and Firestar too. If not at the London con, I'm sure we'll see them at New York's Toy Fair in February. The demand is simply too great for those figures for Hasbro to ignore.
IF the rumors are true and Hasbro loses the license to Marvel figures in 2020, I honestly won't be surprised. I know Hasbro says they want to reach a new deal, but I'm sure that someone (most likely Mattel) will be happy to continue the Marvel Legends brand after Hasbro. And if Mattel is the company lucky enough to get it, which could happen since we're getting those X-Men Mattel dolls of Mystique, Storm and Dark Phoenix, they'll certainly have to up their game to match what Hasbro has done with the line. That said, my wish list for Marvel Legends that Hasbro still needs to make is very, very, very, VERY long, and there are plenty of characters that Hasbro "must" make before the end of 2020 if they do lose the license. They could easily still make classic Wasp, Silver Centurion Iron Man, Thunderstrike, classic Beta Ray Bill, classic Luke Cage, classic Falcon, classic U.S. Agent, Kang the Conqueror, Constrictor, Mr. Hyde, Mr. Fix-It Gray Hulk, classic Chameleon, classic Lizard, classic Electro, classic Shocker, Trapster, the Wizard, classic She-Hulk, Super-Skrull, Annihilus, classic Captain Marvel II, 80s Rogue, Armani suit Doc Ock, Demogoblin, Shriek, classic Kaine, , etc., etc. -- and this is the SHORT list. I'm still hoping to see new or re-released with brighter suit colors figures of Spidey villains with multiple heads (like classic Mysterio with Quentin Beck and Daniel Berkhart heads and/or classic Green Goblin with Norman Osborn, Harry Osborn and Bart Hamilton heads) or re-releases of previous figures repainted with new accessories (like the 70s and 90s Jim Lee Cyclops figures with an optic blast accessory) for those who couldn't find them the first time around. Re-releasing previous Build-A-Figures for collectors, like classic Sandman and classic Rhino, would be awesome too. |
So I just found out I missed a sale on the Netflix Luke Cage and Claire 2 pack. Any chance anyone picked up a few and would pass it on at cost or close to it? Maybe trade from my sales thread? Please let me know.
As far as lists go I think a lot of us have the same wants. Classic Beta Ray Bill, Classic Falcon, Classic Vulture, Banshee, Pyro, Lady Deathstrike, Firestar, tons of similar lists. I really want a Hulk wave. Well, multiple waves lol. Classic stuff like Maestro Hulk, Smart Hulk, etc. I would love a Planet Hulk wave. I dream of Red King BAF with Hulk, CAIERA, Miek, Elloe, Silver Savage, etc. |
*Sigh* the life of an MCU Collector. I just finished the Bro Thor wave. I have a few stragglers from past lines to get, but I’m so close to being done with my collection. I’m hoping for some kind of news this weekend on a continuation of MCU figures, especially the Endgame line. We are so close to a complete Endgame collection and we’ve had no news on a potential Final Battle Thor. A Mark 85 with an infinity stone hand, blade, lightning backpack, and RDJ head would be so nice too. Broken Shield Cap seems like a no brainer. Miek and Wong are also needed badly. If we don’t get them now, they probably wouldn’t get made until 2021 when their next movie appearances come out, and the line may be over by then. A Chitauri and Outrider set is also a pretty good need for this line, to army build the Thanos side. Speaking of Thanos. A new left arm with no Gauntlet would be a great pack in for a figure down the line. I’d say all that is pretty essential. The next figures I’ll mention at least already have figure representation, but a Final Battle Captain Marvel, Rocket, Nebula, and Jumpsuit Hulk would be great. A Kraglin figure with his fin and a Howard the Duck pack in would be awesome, but nowhere near likely, at least until GOTG 3, which again by then the line may not exist, at least from Hasbro. Super long rant, but just hoping for any kind of announcement about past figures. Maybe we will get something at Toy Fair next year, but I figure that will just be the 2020 movie figures. Give or take a few villains, Odin, and the Warriors 3 we are so close to being done with Infinity Saga figures and I think it would be a shame to leave the line incomplete. Anyone else?

@Nutimus Prime - I agree, we need a new Hulk wave. It's long overdue and it'd be nice to own a new Hulk that wasn't a Build-A-Figure, a two-pack or a Comic Con Exclusive. I'd personally love Mr. Fix-It, Professor Hulk in his brown Pantheon jumpsuit, Ringmaster, classic Leader, the U-Foes, civilian characters like Bruce Banner and General Ross, etc.
We all pretty much want a lot of similar figures on wish-lists (and don't forget, we WILL get classic Vulture with the two Spidey figures, White Rabbit, Superior Octopus, Shang-Chi and the unrevealed Build-A-Figure in the spring). The main problem I have with the Top 10 wishlists is that, to be honest, 10 isn't enough. There are heroes, villains, civilians, re-releases, etc., fans would love to see and some fans want to be as specific as possible (a new Cannonball with legs, Doc Ock with bendable wire tentacles, Cyclops with an optic blast, etc.) for things we didn't think we'd even need to ask for. If you are going to make a Cannonball figure that doesn't have any legs at all or a Cyclops without an optic blast, that means it'll either be re-released later, asked to be made as accessory packs by fans, or not happen altogether -- and none of those are things fans and collectors want to see happen. Hasbro's done a lot of figures right this year, but they continue to drop the ball with certain figures and continue to delay making figures they know fans want to see made the most. I never thought I'd see fan-demanded X-Factor Cyclops become a peg-warmer, and that's WITH the optic blast accessory (though when you see it in person with the lack of a normal visor without an energy effect and the figure's paint errors, I can see why). If Hasbro gave me nothing more than a Doc Ock with bendable wire tentacles, a Cannonball with legs and a chainmail Captain America with both his shields (round and triangular) and a smiling Cap face as opposed to the angry/constipated head sculpts he's been given lately, that'd be fine with me. If they did all that and throw in new figures of Firestar, first appearance Storm, classic Banshee, classic Electro, classic Shocker, first appearance Mary Jane Watson, classic U.S. Agent, classic Falcon, classic Wasp, Ringmaster, classic Leader and so on, that'd be perfect. |

Right now, My top 10 of never done before, excluding reveals is: Selene, Firestar, Justice, Count Nefaria, Graviton, Exodus, Mach II or IV I'll take either, Nimrod, Atlas and Sersi. But I don't see most of those as the most logical choices for hasbro to make, especially if we have one year left. Only Firestar and maybe Mach II to give us another Thunderbolt. But if I had to take some out to make does for redos, the main redos or new costumes have to be FA Storm, Deathstrike, Shadowcat and Banshee in that order. All of those would go at the bottom of a all together top 10 though, except FA Storm who would probably be my #2 most wanted figure now. I think a Hulk wave would be great. I'm not a huge Hulk fan, but he's got a decent rogues gallery. There's already so many waves rumored next year, heck why not one more. Maestro, Zzzaaxxx or however it's spelled, Leader, Harpy, and a BAF Red Hulk along with some necessary Hulk variants. I'd add in Abomination but it just seems like Hasbro can't get that one right. In all honesty if the last TB Marvel Legends standing was Abomination, I'd be fine with that, it's got the mass needed and still a great figure. |
