Interesting side note from the same show though, Hasbro is trying to get 2 waves of Legends figures greenlit for X-Men Age of Apocalypse, and if it happens, Phoenix 5 Cyclops would possibly be released (which would also seem to be an ideal time for Rogue, White Phoenix, Moonstar, and other X associated characters with cancelled figures to get released as well).

ok I am not understanding the:

How is it a problem in the states but not the UK where they seem to have showed up? None of the LCS or online stores even sold them..yet I hear they are plentiful in the UK. They released regular Doom and GreyPool here so that response from them doesn't jive
