The line wasn't dead, but in 2008, the line drastically slowed in output. I was slightly off in my dates beforehand, but in 2008, the only figures they released in all stores were two-packs, and full waves were retailer-exclusives; by 2011, there weren't any figures being released in stores. However, for their SDCC 2011 exclusive, Hasbro released a new Thor, which was the first figure of the Return of Marvel Legends (official name, you can see it on the packaging here: )

with the first wave being the Terrax BAF series. The next wave (Arnim Zola BAF) would have the Bucky Cap figure, based on a new body that would be the first of what's considered the modern style of articulation and design for Marvel Legends bodies. A good site to go to to see a catalogue of Marvel Legends figures and when they released, at least up until the end of 2015/beginning of 2016 (I think they stopped updating the site at that point) is MarvelLegends.Net - Marvel Legends, although they don't have all Marvel Legends-style Marvel lines released by ToyBiz and Hasbro on that page, they can be found elsewhere on the site. Another site with a good catalogue/database of Marvel Legends figures and other 6-inch Marvel lines would be the Marvel news site Marvel News Reviews Images and more - MarvelousNews.com, although they also seemed to have stopped updating the figure database in ~early 2015, focusing solely on Marvel news.
