Do you think its exclusivity had anything to do with Disney? I couldn't imagine any other reason for an X-Men wave to be limited to a small number of retailers, especially when the BAF is a character that collectors have wanted for a very long time.

yea dude, basically if your hunting down no longer in the store legends expect to pay more then retail for most of them... of course there are certain exceptions but for some popular ones they are fetching a pretty penny.. i recently started to think i wanted the recent spider-woman, Nova, space suit iron, marvel no cyclops but to my dismay some are ridiculously over priced online and some can be had for as little as nothing...

Another use for that Hawkeye/Daredevil head. A friend of mine did this the other day. It's not perfect, but I think it works pretty well for Scott. The hair just needs to be painted brown.

Yeah...it makes filling out the holes in my collection pretty difficult. I used to collect Legends in the past and didn't start collecting them again until the Amazing Spider-Man 2 wave had come out in stores, so I missed out on a lot of releases that I would've been interested in such as Jean Grey, Storm, the Wrecking Crew, and Deadpool. Trying to go back and get the ones I wanted are a pain in the ass since some of them are so expensive now. Hell, even when they had The Winter Soldier wave in stores around here, I never came across any of the figures outside of Marvel Now Cap, movie Cap and The Winter Soldier.

I was lucky enough to find one Baron Zemo at Barnes and Noble and one Black Widow at some shop at my mall that only appears during Christmas time. Now they're selling for damn near 40 bucks online, which is annoying for people who want them. I still haven't encountered a single Red Skull, AIM Soldier or Hydra soldier in the wild.

Thanks to Brickseek, the Target closest to me showed that they had gotten the Target ML 3-pack, so I went there. Had to have an employee get one from the back, then price matched it to their current online price of $28.50 and picked it up.

I don't know if it was the best set they had, as the guy only pulled one out and I didn't want to be overly annoying in asking to see others to choose from, especially as the set he pulled didn't have bad paint apps.

I love this set, the one that surprised me the most was the Hulk, as it was my first exposure to the mold and I was pleasantly surprised by it. That and I liked Indestructible Hulk/Doc Green from the comics and I like the color choices here probably doesn't hurt.

Ultron was the one I wanted the most and he didn't disappoint. Some of his joints are looser then I'd like and his right leg seems a bit warped (though from what I can tell from pictures online, this seems pretty common), but it was easily fixed with a little hair dryer time. He looks awesome.

Vision has some issues. Key is that he has super loose hips, what I call hula hoop hips, as they can flex without moving the joints. He also has some loose joints so together they can make getting him to stand a bit tricky in some poses. I'm also not the biggest fan of some of the fade paint apps, it's a bit weird in places like the fade in the chest by the ab crunch.

Overall, for under $30, it's a phenomenal set. Also, unlike other sets, this one had three figures that I actually have an interest in, so that also helps. (The first Avengers comic that I really read had White Vision in it.)

Many of us had difficulty picking up Red Skull and the two faction soldiers due to the fact that they were being seriously poached by army builders, especially the AIM soldier specifically. Black Widow was an entirely different issue altogether, thanks to piss poor case distribution in the beginning of the wave's run. They were able to correct it just a bit though by the end thankfully by double-packing her, and the new AoU version with the Amazon two pack is giving those who missed out a second chance at her...so that's nice. If you're willing to spend 40+ on Widow, the Amazon 4 pack might actually be the best bet to go, as you get the new Thor and Banner figures, as well as the Hawkeye do-over for a little less than 80 bucks.

I do feel you though on missing out on past releases. I remember having Black Panther in my hand while Christmas shopping two years ago, and passed on him simply because I thought I might run into him again, but to this day...never have, and man has he jumped in price, especially after he was announced as officially coming to the MCU.

Deadpool...that's a whole different beast altogether, and good luck with that one. If you're willing to settle on his gray X-Force duds, it's manageable, but once you start shooting for the traditional red version...yikes. Thankfully, China-Bay has given us lots of Deadpool color variants at half decent prices, so it's still not a figure entirely out of your grasp, if you don't mind having a bootleg filling out a slot in your roster.

Picked up the ML Target exclusive 3 pack earlier today. There's 4 per case and my two targets have one case each. Apparently the set is scheduled for release either Sunday or Monday to go right before the release of the movie. They're not on display for that reason but with the DCPI you can't go wrong. Regular price will be 50 bucks but it will be on sale for around 42 bucks for either Sunday or Monday. I'm one not to ask for discounts...if it's not marked on sale I don't bother getting into an argument, to me it's not worth it...but, if you lie to me then I'm gonna take it. The employee gave me the usual story that they can't sell it yet because bla bla...so, I didn't argue with him, I just called the manager and I got it for $28.50 plus tax as it was price matched from their web site.

I'll post pics tonight when I get home. I've tried posting pics with my phone and lately for some reason it kicks me out of toyark's web page when I try to on my phone only.

I was just thinking.....Fox owns the film rights to Namor via Fantastic Four right? Since we're getting Namor next year, I'm wondering if it's still possible for us to at least get X-Men/Fantastic Four characters here and there, right?

i see Cyclops peg warming here in Canada. Spider-Woman and Hellcat sold like hotcakes as did Misty and Valkyrie. Novas and Black widows seemed to show up here and there but that Ironman is everywhere

Unless something has changed, Universal Pictures owns the rights to Namor. The Marvel movie rights scenario is a complicated quagmire that includes four different studios.

I've got some stuff you might be looking for. Take a look at my trade list and lmk. Link in my signature

Marvel owns Namor as of this year. Though it's not quite an entire transfer, if Marvel makes a movie, Universal still distributes it due to the particulars of the agreement (Hulk is in a similar boat), but the character rights belong to Marvel once again.

Ghost Rider has also slipped back to Marvel, but that's a cleaner return of rights.

One interesting thing about Target that I didn't know was that they apparently won't price match items on their website if they're out of stock for home shipping? Went to the local store last night and tried to have them match the $13 online prices for Ant-Man and Grim Reaper, and they said they won't do it. Bit surprised by that, but they were impulse buys so no big deal, I just put them back.

That is weird as most of the deals on their site say "In Store Only" yet the prices in store were all higher than the site? I was able to get them to PM Giant-Man and Thanos Wave Iron Man without any issues, weird.

I only plan on getting MCU in 6" scale so here is my collection as of now.

That makes no sense. If it says they price match, then don't do it for their own website, something seems out of place there. It's false advertising, both on the policy and on the product. I'd find out who that manager's boss is and start there.

Yeah I haven't seen Misty and Valkryie and usually I'll see latest wave at least once. Glad I got these off of HTS during they're sale. SW and HC I still see.
That's good GR is back with Marvel, hopefully they reboot it and make it a lot better.
It varies between the CSR is what it is. Heck I bought my 3 AOU pack when it was at 30, and they wouldn't price match it once again cause it was already done so. So basically I just have to return it and buy it back at the website price, hopefully will do that tonight. Which is pretty stupid and waste of time for me.

Exactly distribution was horrible, it's ironic though cause the SHIELD TRU 3 pack is shelf warming like crazy. They def picked the wrong ones to make a lot of and not a lot of...

great score man! the ultron and hulk look fantastic, I like the Vision too, but I wish he was 3.75"

Thanks bro...yeah, I'm with you on the 3.75'.

Thanks all to all who gave me advice on the thanos wave rarest figures

I hope nobody buys this it just feels painful to me , i guess he put custom but just why
marvel legends magneto cyclops custom figure rhino left arm baf sentinel diorama

Not sure but isn't it up to TRU to tell Hasbro, time to start shipping Storm and Magneto 2 per case before they said, stop shipments?

Just get the Stryfe and the Jubes head and custom away. Do not pay scalpers a dime.

I won't say that's not true, but that's certainly never been my experience. Heck, when I price matched the 3 pack this week, the girl at the desk barely looked at my phone and just changed the price when I told her what it was; I could've said $10 and she probably would've changed it to that.

Both Target and Best Buy have always just seen the price on my phone and then adjusted the price, no questions, no problem, just done and done. (Though I also prep ahead of time; I always have the page pre-loaded on my phone so I can instantly pull it up before I'm at the cash register)


Or I'd contact Target corporate via the website and tell them about your issues, since that's pretty fishy to me.

girlfriend went looking for the new DD at walgreens today. while she had no luck with that, she ended up getting me this. i know shes an older release but i never had Anya but wanted her so she will be a great addition to my spider shelf !!

I thought about doing this and it's certainly tempting. Where would I get the trenchcoat from though?

Nothing new at my Target at all. They don't even have the 3 pack.
