I think Marvel Legends will be fine. There are always a couple of meh waves each year, usually at the beginning of the year. But it's simply not possible for anyone to be in the zone 100% of the time, even a toy company.

I remember going to local toy shows hunting Joes and seeing the old Legends Deadpool figures going for $50+ loose before Legends came back in 2011 or whenever they did... now there are tons of Deadpool figures flooding the market. Legends don't really seem to hold value anymore like they used to. And it is not like the old Legends in which there was a need to upgrade your figures with the newer molds... I think this is it. These current Legends figures meet the magically good enough standard... once you complete your teams in 6" scale this time... you are good... don't need to upgrade ever again.

While the 90s X-Men roster is very popular, it's not the end all, be all of characters or costume selection. There are many of us that want X-Men figures from the 70s, 80s, and the 2000s onward. It's cool if you have no interest in those versions of the X-Men, but there are many of us that are excited to get X-Men from many different eras.

As for the Hasbro Marvel Legends not holding their value, not every TBML sold for $50+. Before the ROML, I bought many of the TB Legends off of eBay and paid anywhere from $10 - $30 per figure for most of my collection. Sure, there were some figures like Deadpool or carded figures from the Sentinel and Giant-Man waves that commanded higher prices. But most of the time when you saw high prices for TBML, it was the seller jacking up the price by claiming that a figure was "rare" when it really wasn't.
