and you think 6" line is suffering because you seen a wave at 9.99???lol how about picking up an entire wave of 4" for 9.99???cant say i ever seen a legends wave at that price in recent years?and what about those sentinels that could not sell?collectors didnt seem to have a problem flipping them after they purchased them at 20 a pop,you think hasbro/marvel employees dont come to these sites and see the stuff some people post?

I still think MU is being squeezed for maximum profitability, and Legends is being treated as a premium line with costs being offset by increased profit margins on MU.



The 'value' of Legends is coming at the expense of MU being less value for money - not despite it.



It's pretty much what Dwight wanted isn't it? He's in charge of Marvel at Hasbro. It's win-win for him: If MU keeps selling enough then he can use the larger profit margin to subsidise Legends, but if enough people ditch MU and switch to Legends he can point to increasing sales as evidence of fan demand.




It really doesn't. I'd like to be a Human-Fly on the wall at a Hasbro meeting...

you only need to go back through the old 3.75" thread to see where the problem lies,even back before universe was conceived legends was getting pretty much the same standard as they get today,the only thing that has changed is packaging,now you assume our line is doing well regardless,i disagree because if our line was making the money you think it does then the quality would be retained,we would have seen proper waves for recent marvel movies but instead the 6" line gets them,we have gone through several rebrands,now we are attached to "legends".again if our line was as popular it would retain its own name.you dont need to be a fly on the wall to see what is going on.
