Marvel Legends, Selects, Universe- Thread - Part 1

[FEAR THE BAT]

I wish it was a few years ago.....I really used to love coming here and there being a few new pages of posts after a couple hours....

I completely agree. But I've gotta say that some of these reveals have been pretty outstanding. If newer bucks like the one used for Bucky Cap are any indication I think ML is going to be stronger than before. I hate to say it because ToyBiz had some tremendous output but some of these newer figs, although having lesser POAs, look and feel like better figs. The new ankle joints being implemented are better looking and are more functional IMO.

Not that the entirety of Hasbro's first shot at ML was bad but this revamp has been better. And I for one am in favor of how they're using the "variant" as an entirely different character in some cases, like with the Wrecking Crew guys and Blade/Punisher. I prefer that over variants that just have a different head anyday.

agrees completely. It's like a ML renaissance!

 

[Spider-Jay420]

Absolutely.

I may not have posted a lot back then, but I gotta say, seeing all your posts and excitement really made this place enjoyable to visit. It's the one reason I even started coming in here.

You guys are fun, and talking about figures brings out the inner kid in me again.


On a related note, in my area, all the Wal Marts are now stocked with Wave 1 ML's again, there is maybe 1 peg for Wave 2, but multiples of Wave 1. That's something we didn't see the first time around. (Crosses fingers in hopes of finding Hope and Ghost Rider)

 

[spideyboy_1111]

my walmart has now gotten rid of all MLs, and there's 2 big gaps in the marvel section.. which i assume is for the ML restock, and either new MU figs or the 6inch spidey movie figs

 

[BizarroAids]

I haven't heard of anyone picking up the 6 inch Spidey figures yet, but I hear they are out in some places.

 

[slim_summers]

ML Wave 3 (Epic Heroes) already showing up on ebay....!

 

[Vartha]

STILL no new figures of any kind at the closest Walmart here. Only Mjolnir showed up lastnight.

 

[WWheisenberg]

Yeah after about a month of empty pegs my local Target also restocked Wave 1. Of course Ghostrider, Thor, and Rogers were already gone. Glad to see more of these are making it out though.

 

[spideyboy_1111]

It took 3months for my target to stock... And they only had one shipment before....

 

[BizarroAids]

Target around here has been behind in the game as well. I can't even remember the last time they, or Toys R Us restocked.

There are some Wal-Marts with ML's on sale for 11.00, has anyone else come across this?

 

[spideyboy_1111]

Well ghost riders must be showing up... They've dropped about half in price on amazon. So if i don't see one soon ill just order on there

 

[BizarroAids]

Same with me, I need that one. And at this point, I don't care which on it is (I'd like both, but one will suffice) as long as I finish Terrax soon.


It's crazy how much Hulk and Valkrye are going for on toy sites....separate or together.

 

[spideyboy_1111]

id prefer blue, just because he's different. but yeah... i just want terrax arms at this point.

and yeah.... ugh... i hate prices of things... I have a MU PURPLE sentinel i found last month... that i'm thinking of seeing if i can find someone to trade a SDCC X-force set with... or maybe get a red hulk head with..............................(though throw in something else to make that deal more fair)

 

[BizarroAids]

I held the X-Force set in my hands this weekend, my friend owns them, and they are pretty awesome. Although, his Wolverine only came with two claws on one hand lol.

He has a lot of fodder pieces, and does trading all the time, I'll contact him and see what he can do for a Red Hulk head. I think he actually owes me a piece for a trade we did.

that would be awesome. Yeah... and truth be told out of the X-force set I really only want psylocke since the other 2 will be re-released. but yea... my red hulk has been headless for FAR too long

She's the one I was excited for as well! In person, the wings for Angel are pretty amazing!

If you have any other figures you are missing or BAF pieces you need, I can check, he tends to trade that stuff a lot.

-X-force Psylocke
-Red Hulk's Head (if it comes with spiral too.. then hopefully she's the gold variant so i at least don't get a repeat fig)
-Blue Flame Ghostrider
-X-force Warpath
-Big Time Spidey

other than those figs... the only figure I have but need another (but can probably get extremely cheap online) is Spider-Woman (JD) since mine's webbing dried and cracked

I still feel terrible that the hulk head never got to you.I have no idea what happened there.

 

[spideyboy_1111]

the mail system in LA is horrible... so who knows

 

[Green Scar]

Is blue ghostrider rare or does anyone need one? I have one in hand right now at TRU

 

[spideyboy_1111]

GR in general is rare. but with these re-stockings he's not that rare anymore... I don't think anyone should pay over retail for these or the $20 they're going for on amazon

 

[Green Scar]

I wouldn't look for any more than cost. Just trying to help out collectors. But if he's getting more common I'll leave him here

 

[Green Scar]

Also 2 Hope Summers

 

[spideyboy_1111]

im very tempted. I wouldnt want you to get stuck with him though... my funds are a little low.. so im hoping to score him for the walmart prices
