This year, Hasbro has predicted more Legends than ever before, but I'm expecting many misses for a large number of fans. If they can entice me with 4 out of 7 of a wave, I'll nab the set. I'm on the hook for the upcoming Cap wave because I plan to build Onslaught and desire 4 of the other figs. Beyond the Cap wave? I'm not so sure. I'm likely in for the X-men and Hulk Wave (I think we may get one this year) and then there's SDCC...I'm hoping for some breaks throughout.

I think the start of it was setting up my Legends display in my new collection room... the more I stare at the shelf, the more I'm realizing that 1) I'm starting to get a little tired of the repaints making me feel like I'm looking at the same figure over and over again, and 2) I really only care about having a good classic 616 version of my favorite characters on the shelf, as opposed to the more modern costumes. Also, about 80-90% of my display is mods or customs, and unique head sculpts not withstanding, I feel like punching myself each time I get a figure as part of a case that would only take me half an hour to just paint up myself using fodder I already have.
Ultimately, I've started up collecting Transformer stuff primarily, and put Legends on "highly selective cherry picking" status as the line has gotten kinda boring for me. Mockingbird, Rogue, and picking up the Onslaught BAF solo from Dorkside are the only purchases I'm making for 2016 after the Absorbing wave unless a really kick-ass first appearance Storm is announced. =) I even just sold off my BNIB SDCC 2015 exclusives to fund my TF purchases, and haven't lost a wink over it surprisingly. lol
