I didn't mean that the panels weren't well done. Hasbro put together a decent show. I thought based on interviews, Marvel's was about as interesting as the Power Rangers one, but I can see how it wasn't for everyone. I think the issue for me was I was expecting them to announce almost a full year's product (30+ figures) for each brands like they did last year. I agree with some other people here that they should have trimmed this down to a day to better match the product they actually had to show. As for the COVID excuses, it's still valid because the manufacturing industry is being hit hard across the board due to supply chain and labor issues. We should expect delays in toys and their availability until everything goes back to whatever-qualifies-as-normal again.

Anyone here mentioned this yet?
https://hasbropulse.com/pages/1027-2021 I saw it being talked about over on the 'tank, and apparently it's front paged over at TFW |

The new Winter Soldier also comes with 3 semi-realistic guns and a knife. The original only came with a cartoony, scifi rifle. There are fewer differences on Sam. He comes with an alternate unmasked head and a pair of fists. There also appears to be a little more paint deco on the pants and boots. The red on his shield also appears to be a truer red. The original shield had more of a red-orange. |

With the live streams and the Marvel Mondays, they usually reveal new product twice a month. And if there is a Disney+ show airing, then there could potentially be weekly reveals. With that sort of frequency, there's no need to reveal the next 6 months all at once. |

If they were gonna do a Cap and Sam two-pack I would've preferred it be Sam's Falcon look from the series since that still hasn't been made.

What're the odds we get MCU & comics Titania within the same year?

Would love to get a comic Titania, though I'm not sure which wave they'd include her in. With Walgreen's starting a Super Villains theme for its exclusives next year, I wouldn't mind seeing her there if it meant she got the additional funding for the new sculpting required for the character. |

If anyone needs him, Amazon has the Retro Spider-Man 2099 back in stock at the normal price: https://www.amazon.com/Hasbro-Legend...8TPVQR7C&psc=1
I also would love to see a new comic figure of Titania if they did either a second Bring On The Bad Guys wave or at least some solo release figures for them. |

^ I don't think the first Bring on the Bad Guys wave did very well... I mean aside from Ultron. I thought for sure Lady Deathstrike would have sold well, but you can find her pegwarming at almost every Gamestop at the moment along with every other figure from that wave... except for Ultron.
It's kinda interesting how Spidey Villains are so popular though... I mean Venom gets his own wave even. Spider-man really is king still. |

^ Ultron with the stones was legit scary... had that true villain feel.... that episode of What if was amazing.
Oh wow... you're right! I have never actually seen Ultron on a peg, so I forget which wave he came from. That also actually makes the Xenmu wave seem worse though. |

People, myself included, have been requesting an all villains wave for a long while. Although it's as anecdotal as any other report, my corner of the NY/NJ/CT metro also has scant remnants of the Xemnu anywhere at retail, GS, or otherwise.
I've yet to see any Hasbro data specific to how individual waves perform, but the sustained villain focus hinted at with these upcoming exclusives in conjunction with BotBG paucity (around here) leads me to believe it did at least moderately well. But, admittedly, that's an opinion based on appearances, which are often misleading without the context of concrete numbers. |

IMO a good way to tell that a figure is not popular is if it is still in stock at regular price or less on Amazon months after it was released. The entire Villains wave is still on Amazon I think. Also where I am at every Gamestop has almost the entire wave still.

Does anyone have the BAF piece from Dr. Strange Armadillo wave that they do not want or need?

Amazon just sent me a message saying my other 3 AoA figures have been delayed until Dec. Not thrilled given they had already sent me 4 of them earlier this month.

I found some of the Eternals on clearance for $10 at Walmart today. I picked up Ikaris and Sprite. They're not bad and I'll probably pick up more if they're on clearance. But I still want to see the movie before I'm all in with the Eternals.

Brickseek actually worked in my favor for once, and I was able to find the Retro F4 figures at my nearby Walmart. Had some issues with figures registering at the self check-out, but an employee was able to easily fix the situation.
