I was kind of confused. Why the hell wouldn't you sell something people want? I honestly have no idea what Walmart is doing with the legends lineup. They definitely have the capacity to put out toys fast and cheap yet they won't do it so either they see no money in it or have someone incompetent running toy distribution. Target and TRU are definitely making money off of them. Not a single TRU or Target around my area has these on the pegs. They are all out. I cancelled my order with BBTS and was able to secure a set of the ASMML at another location at a cheaper cost and that already had them in stock. Not sure what is up with BBTS, maybe some distribution issues? I hope they don't crap out on the Neca ED-209...been waiting for that forever.

Yeah, my Targets and TrU are inconsistent at best, so I was hoping to pick up the Spidey Legends at Wal-Mart. It's ridiculous that Wal-Mart has decided not to carry these new Marvel Legends Infinite figures, OR the 6" Star Wars Black figures. Both lines are in such high demand, but the only way to get them is to basically hit up Target every day and snag them as they arrive I don't know if I should be directing my anger at Hasbro, Wal-Mart, or both, lol !

When Hasbro chose to phase out the previous Marvel Legends line for the movie-based ML Infinite series, they claimed that the point of changing their approach was so that Legends would actually become easier to find at retail, since stores were sure to stock anything related to a Marvel movie, as opposed to comic-based Marvel figures. I shoulda known not to believe them until I saw proof for myself
