So some of these will likely show up in other upcoming lines. How much one wants to bet they're NOT talking about Emma Frost or Valkyrie but Thor and Cyclops, who we already have versions of.

I have been collecting Marvel collectibles for nearly two decades now but I have to say crap like this, as well as the horrid distribution of the last few years (have only bought 2, count 'em, 2! MU figures in retail stores in the last 2 years everything else has been online) has made me want to just give it up and quit.

Middle Tennessee is utterly and completely devoid of any MU or ML figures unless you're looking for the big six and that's only in their own lines, or the ML wave with Hope. I realize that this area is not the only area of the country so affected but just saying there is no longer any joy in driving around looking for stuff. I don't go to the toy aisle any longer when grocery shopping at Walmart because what's the point?

I guess when it comes down to it, the only reason I'm still doing anything at all is in hopes that maybe one day Hasbro will fill in some of those spots in my most wanted list. Time to add Emma back to the top of the MU list, or maybe just below Wasp anyways.

And I think its just worse because they were 3-packs. We know that with 3-packs we will be able to find them and usually at a good price. Then they give us these last two with 5 figures that are unique to them and we get our hopes up. No desperate search for a figure like Emma that all the scalpers would buy up, etc. Now, not only are we not likely to see some of them (Scourge, Jugglossus, and maybe Valkyrie mostly likely) but the others that we do get will probably be short-packed and impossible to find for some of us.
