Hopefully, Hasbro will redo them and sell them as a pack...the way they should have done it to begin with. Any team of four (U-foes, Frightful Four, etc) should be distributed in a pack...one shot.

@boy blunder

Yeah, at that weight, Storm would be fighting to get out of bed...let alone, fighting Sentinels. lol

I was thinking the same thing myself. Even with that Winter Soldier wave, the only figures I ever saw in stores was Movie Cap, Marvel Now Cap and Winter Soldier. I came across a lone Baron Zemo in Barnes and Noble of all places, and I spotted a Black Widow in some seasonal shop. Never saw a single Red Skull, Hydra Soldier or AIM Soldier anywhere. It's like come on Hasbro, I'm trying to give you my money lol


I feel like maybe they do it to encourage impulse purchases? Because I know me personally, if I see, for instance, 20 Winter Soldiers on the shelves, I'm probably going to wait on buying it. But if I see 1, and I know a character is hard to come by, I'm more likely to buy it on the spot. Even that doesn't really make all too much sense to me because every wave has its pegwarmers and retailers will just see a bunch of Legends on the pegs and assume that they don't need anymore stock.

And that being said, most of their rarest figures are characters in extremely high demand like Storm and Black Panther, so I wouldn't think they'd have a problem getting them to sell.
