But even if Target is out, you can still find Legends at Walmart, Amazon, Gamestop, various online retailers, and even Pulse itself. So for fans the hunt isn't over yet.

Also for what it's worth, I think Classified is doing great, and I trust the line will be around for years to come.

The Target argument also seems odd to me, because if the problem was that they were pissed off about sitting on a bunch of unsold Eternals and Age of Apocalypse figures... then the more likely scenario to me would be they just pass on future proposed Eternals and Age of Apocalypse figures. One was an extremely obscure and untested property nobody outside of the most hardcore Marvel fans had ever heard of (and even among hardcore Marvel fans, the Eternals were never particularly popular), and the other was a niche alternate universe storyline.

We saw this happen before. Notice after the wave for the first Ant-Man movie bombed, there wasn't a follow-up for the sequel, and instead figures for that movie got folded into Infinity War's waves and eventually promotional stuff like The First Ten Years.

I just have a hard time seriously believing that they'd suddenly, and without warning, drop ML altogether over that. Especially when there are other toylines that have had similar dud waves that they continue to order and display in the aisles. The only way I could seriously see this happening is if they downsized their toy section altogether, which I don't see happening.
