yeahhh, maybe end of SDCC so they can advertise him then sell him

I have a feeling I wasn't the only one, but, who knows.

Haha yeah

When does BBTS usually put up the SDCC stuff? Is it after or before the Con? Non of the good stuff is up yet.

Probably after. You can also order from hasbro toyshop.

You can find a lot about the Walgreen's exclusives through Steven Anne's (Toy buyer for Walgreen's) twitter account.

According to Steven Anne's twitter account as of June 3rd: "Namor this summer. Punisher early fall!"

As of June 18th, when asked about Walgreen's getting the Civil War wave: "We don't have them now sadly. Namor next, then X-Men, then Punisher, then Dr. Strange wave."

Yes...so, what I do is I put everything on pre-order @ BBTS just in case I don't find it @ retail. If i do, I just cancel.

Oh cool. Thanks for the info!

Sounds more like bullshit to me. Why would not want to sell a figure they have? First, they're toys, not movies, they don't have street dates. Secondly, since when does Walgreens care about street dates?

Thats a great idea

Exactly...apparently they didn't learn their lesson from the infamous Daredevil Exclusive. That item was also one per customer at least here in my city. What happened? People go tired and stopped looking for it there. Now, just last moth there were at least 5 still peg warming there.

Thanks alot for the info! That X men wave should be easy ro find when it comes out because i have at least 15 walgreens within a 10 mile radius. So thats good news

15? Wow, I only have 3 here. Well, can't complaint as I am finding everything before the release dates...lol!

LOL you just love to remind me don't you:D

Lol...no man, I didn't mean it like that. Anyways, today's my last day of vacation, so, I won't be posting as much as i'd like to, but, hopefully in the afternoons I'll get a chance. I just went on an eBay X-Men rampage bro! everybody here was talking X-Men all week and I couldn't resist, my OCD got me. Once I get all the figs in I'll be posting the group pic!! Can't wait!

Except that they do have street dates, at least some toy lines. I've encountered this mostly at Target - some toys will be stocked before they're supposed to, and get them up to the register and they won't scan, with a message that they're not to be sold until X date.

This has happened with both Transformers and the DC Super Hero Girls lines, just off the top of my head. Wouldn't be surprised that other stores do it, at least with their own exclusives.

As for why Walgreens would care about street dates, well... again, it's a matter of the toy being their exclusive, and they would want to have some say on when they have to reorganize their shelves/system. And once there's a street date on file, the employees (in most cases) would be concerned about getting reprimanded for breaking said street date.

Doesn't make a whole lot of sense, I know, but that's the reality of the situation.

Sounds awesome. I would also be interested in hearing more about your rubble items.

He varies a LOT. Also keep an eye out on lots. I snagged mine as part of a lot with a couple other figures and some for my fodder bin. Shipped they came out to about $9 or so each.

I like the Future Foundation. The Big Time makes me laugh as the constant comparison figure for Shartimus Prime's reviews as the "Big Time Letdown Spider-Man".

The funny part is after their initial hick-ups with Agent Venom, Walgreens has been the easiest store to get Legends exclusives from. Probably because unlike most others, they have a toy buyer who is actively involved with the communities and likes to make sure they are getting what people want and keeping collectors updated.

Do we think we'll see anything new on Wednesday for preview night or will we have to wait until the panel on Saturday?

I was joking with ya. Sweet can't wait to see the group picture.

Does anyone know when Hasbro will put stuff up on HTS ???? I got my Thundercats Kittens from Matty today, so at least 1 thing is done. But I really want the SW Black Obi Wan and the Raft Legends set

Not until after SDCC, my friend.

Welcome to the collection, Namor...I've been waiting to separate the 'minnows' from the 'Monarchs!' lol

Since DTL and BM were mentioning it earlier...here's a comparison between the Hasbro Symbiote Spiderman and the Kaine Scarlett Spider.

http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j1...5823175aaa.jpg

Since you were inquiring DTL, it is indeed the same body mold, right down to the angular musculature on the calves. The only difference between the two are the proportions and minor articulation points. The Symbiote Spidey is WAY smaller than the Kaine version of the same mold, and has a much smaller set of hands, feet and head in proportion to the body. He also has calf rotation, whereas the Kaine figure does not, and those older styled Hasbro ankles, which means no ankle pivot.

He's my favorite Symbiote Spidey thus far, as that body is not terrible, and he has some awesome blue and black shading, but there's a lot of room for improvement. While I don't think it's necessary just yet with so many other characters that need re-dos, it doesn't surprise me that despite losing the fan poll to Angela last year, Symbiote Spidey is already being rumored to be on the way with the next wave of Spidey Legends after Space Knight Venom.

@TBM
NAMOR'S PIMP HAND IS STRONG!!
nice setup...i like that Black Manta. I likes the usage of the effects.

@ Trivial...thanks for the comparison and info...as much as I want a black suit spidey..i guess it does make sense to wait.

Man if they started releasing it beforehand, half my nerves would be saved.
