but also jimmyo its the interaction between community members that has given the legends line the sustainability it has 15+ year on and its going strong,when it went into hiatus at the start of hasbros run,it was the fans love for it that brought it back.look at how the core legends group operate,very vocal and friendly with high levels of appreciation.
go to MMM and every legend figure you need is available via other members.i dont think ive seen anyone here offer help on the sdcc16 reveals.groot packs,maestro wave,GOTG/strange/homecoming packs???
so how can a line survive if some clown is selling them on amazon and ebay at marked up prices.legends communities shut that shit down straight away.lol i still get PMs from my legends buddies hooking me up with hand and joe ninjas because they know my bag as far as collecting goes.its been many years since any one here did that,and ironically it was legends collectors here that went above and beyond.but like you said ive also met some genuinely great human beings in here and im grateful of that at the very least.and i still try help whenevr i can.

This is not aiming at anyone in particular or attacking anything you have said JB but what you said... im sorry but you are wrong! There are many of us 3.75 collectors that do just that. Alot of them I have met via Toyark that have become great friends with. Members that are tired of the negativity and have band together helping each other out all the time. Constantly buying trading to help each other with what we need. I have a high number of friends and contacts via here, MUCC and FB that go out of their way to get not only me but extra figures from the newer waves or US TRU exclusives for my other fellow collectors. Hell 1 great guy from here lets me get all my figures from other sellers or traders that dont ship to the UK sent to him and he goes out of his way to ship them to me. I had 1 guy get me 3 mcu spiderman vultute packs. 2 gotg mcu packs 2 dr strange packs and the new spider man shocker pack as well as the latest wave of MU all because i helped him out earlier in the year. Every person ive dealt with except on 2 occasions has helped me or vice versa and we have become friends through it. I love the 3.75 MU scale and altho im not happy with how its shaping up to be myself and most people i know that collect, still continue to support it. And if the line ended tomorrow, I would still carry on collecting and adding to my collection via customs or BAFs or anything from anyline that i know will somehow fit into my own little Marvel Universe and at the end of the day made some great friends in other parts of the UK and around the world that I chat to on a daily basis not only about figures but about our lives families etc. The 3.75 community is close knit is string and out there. Just because we dont go to the comic cons and quiz people doesnt mean we dont care.

Rant over sorry lol lets keep those happy thoughts lol

PS ive even got Hydra troops from UKMU not if thats not an achivement of how close and supportive the community is then i dont know what is lol
