Neat! 2 pack or D+ wave 3 I wonder.
Do we know if there's any more shows lined up for the year or if there's anything announced reveal wise? wondering about our year end want list for things not announced or revealed officially. I know it's not quite time for the 2021 top 10 legends yet as many of us are still waiting for Excalibur and there's a lot of other stuff floating around as well |

I know it's not quite time for the 2021 top 10 legends yet as many of us are still waiting for Excalibur and there's a lot of other stuff floating around as well As of right now, Hawkeye is the last Marvel show of 2021. I'm not sure if they've started on What If season 2 yet. Ms. Marvel was recently bumped to mid-2022. And Moon Knight and She Hulk are listed as premiering 2022 without any indication of when they'll drop in 2022. As far as end of the year Legends go, the Excalibur 3 pack and the retro Johnny Storm are in stock at Pulse now. I would imagine that the retro clear Sue will drop soon. Target is also stocking the stealth Captain Carter figure. Beyond that, the only thing I could see dropping before the end of the year is the retro Spiderman wave. Marvelousnews just posted some in-hand shots from an IG user in Hong Kong. If they're out overseas, then I would expect to see them in the next few weeks. |

My guess is that Clint and Kate will be in Disney+ wave 3. The wave will probably look like Clint, Kate, Echo, and Yelena. The remaining 2-3 slots will either be a yet to be revealed character(s) from Hawkeye or some of the missing characters from What If? season 1.

Not sure if there will be more reveals before the end of the year. Hoping for something more from the X-men and Avengers/general wave. Yeah she definitely needs to get done, given her prominence now, the most she's had in 30 years (of course, she's been dead for that long too). My absolute ideal wave for the 2nd X-men wave of 2022 - obligatory Wolverine, HOX/POX Storm, Outback Psylocke, GSXM Banshee, Destiny, Avalanche, Exodus and BAF. This would tick of SOOOO many check marks. And of course, they'll never do that because they won't complete the OG Brotherhood all in one fell swooop, unless it were a boxed set. Side pondering tangent - The Walgreens theme for next year is villains - first one is Zemo. What if it's not just villains, but Thunderbolt's villains - Graviton, Count Nefaria, and the likely one female release with Crimson Cowl. While I'd absolutely love all of them them getting released I'd hate it would be through Walgreens; definitely would be all instapurchases for me. And...we'd need some more OG thunderbolts to go along with it - don't stop halfway Hasbro! |

My closes Target got in 8 Miles and 6 Dr Stranges but no Morluns. -_-
Also, Dawn of X 4 and 5 thoughts: Marauders - This remains the highlight of the stories for me. The comaraderie between Bishop and Kitty was one of the highlights. Excalibur - I'm continuing to enjoy this, though, I am lost on exactly what the hell is going on. Apparently, Rictor belongs to some druid cult. Apocalypse intentionally put Rogue to sleep and had her take his power whens he woke up. The British government isn't happy with Captain Psylocke, not that what she does is any of their business to begin with. And monsters are attacking London. Cool. New Mutants - This one is becomming a tad annoying because issue 4 continued where 3 left off, but then leaves on another cliffhanger, which isn't shown at all in issue 5. Instead, 5 focuses on the gang in space with Deathbird. This is making it really hard to care about either plotline when there has yet to be a resolution. They should just be splitting the stories up between issues with half of the issuing following the space team and the other half following the team in Nebraska. I did like the bit where Sunspot was trying to hit on Deathbird. X-Force - This one is starting to lose me. First off, the mutants made a law that mutants can not kill humans, but X-Force is exempt to that law? Then why have it at all? Secondly, nothing seems to be happening plotwise and the fact that mutants can never die made Wolverine and, I guess his name is Kid Omega, getting cut off mid-teleportation lack any impact. X-Men - For some reason, these issues have been the last issues in the books rather than the first. Anyway, seeing Apocalypse in a business suit was so wrong on many different levels. He is above dressing like some cheap 50s drone chump. Regardless, I liked this one a lot and how Magneto explained their intentions of taking over the world through capitalism. Issue 5, which featured some vault thing below a ruined Master Mold was a tad convoluted. Plus, how can X-23 be in two places at once? She's cosplaying as Wolverine in this issue, but she's apart of Psylocke's group in Fallen Angels and isn't wearing a Wolverine costume there. WHAT?! Anyway, I hope there is some pay off here because the X-Men titles themselves seem to have no ongoing plot. I've requested 6-11 and something called X of Swords, which I guess is supposed to take place after Volume 11.

It is kinda neat that Hailee Steinfeld is both Spider-Gwen and Kate Bishop. And also Vi from Arcane... seriously people... watch Arcane on Netflix if you can... it is legit amazing. Spider-Gwen is wearing sneakers now though... and the design of her suit is slightly changed... so I guess we need another Legends figure of her when this comes out... which I will instantly buy. Same haircut though. |

Anyone getting actual shipping confirmation on the Excalibur set yet? My card was charged on 12/1, and the item is in stock per their website (where it states that item will be charged when ready to ship) but nothing regarding actual shipping movement.
I don't pin this one on distribution. WTH is going on with Pulse's shipping warehouse. First massive problems with the Sentinel (while my order on that was fine I know many have had huge issues) and now this. |

As far as distribution issues, this one was earlier than initially stated, so I'd imagine you're right in eliminating that. Last edited by Sataninjaku; 12-05-2021 at 08:45 AM.. |

I received the same processing message for the Excalibur set and Human Torch non-"Flame-On" variant, but no ship notice.
While things are improving, distribution woes the world over are still a thing. Not to mention, even without the advent of the Omicron variant, Covid still has numerous workers re-evaluating the risk of infection vs compensation/benefits vs in-house safety protocols of many jobs. |

Yeah, I got a notification yesterday, and checking FedEx shows a label creation, so it looks as though all's well on my order. Glad, too- I'm super excited for this set.

Still as noted, this wasn't supposed to come in until Jan 1 originally, so it's still going to be early. Hopefully we all get actual movement in a few days. Almost wonder if people who order it now actually get it shipped out and to them before the preorders. We'll see. And i agree TBM, while things are improving overall, there's definitely still concerns and practices being put into place for health concerns. Which I get and should probably be more aware of. I'm just impatient for this pack. |

@Nash
I'm eager to receive them as well; I really, really want that Brian and Meggan. Just call them, I plan to. Their customer service reps are really friendly and professional. Many are collectors themselves based on my three (or so) calls to them and they understand the anxiety. |

You need to stop guzzling that propaganda and add a bit more actual science to your diet. What microbiologists have learned from Louis Pasteur's initial vaccines in the 1800s all the way forward to modern virology is that viruses (from the common cold to HIV) mutate and evolve. From the beginning of this pandemic, scientists have warned of the development of new strains. Whether you believe in something that you may not understand, or if you don't care enough to try to know about the ongoing developments in the world that surrounds doesn't change objective reality.

With nearly 800K dead in the US and as a member of a community that is disproportionately represented in those numbers, I can't laugh at that cavalier and politically stilted view of this health crisis.
I truthfully hope you don't contract this virus to any serious degree. It's a horrible way to die; gasping for breath, viral sepsis and alone with loved ones unable to see you in your final hours. Hardly something to layer foolish conspiracies onto or yuck it up for cheap entertainment. |

For some reason i just love the look. I know precisely zip about the character but i just love it.

With a new head & torso armor, modular Iron Man would be good base for Eric The Red. I don't want to start making my one if an official version is in the works though.

You are lucky to be alive, roughly 800K (and counting) weren't as fortunate.
