So I'm collecting the "bin" figures to put away ie, Grim Reaper, Bulldozer, Thundra, etc. And I look at blizzard, and can't but think he'd make a pretty decent Quicksilver. The blue and white is there. The design pattern kinda looks like lightning effects. I dunno, might do a head swap and see what I get.
After seeing that people are finding the Hulkbuster wave at Walmart, I went in today. Nothing on the shelves except for the Odin wave which they got a ton of cases that aren't moving. But I went to lawn and garden to check out the clearanced grills and found shelves and shelves loaded with cases of toys that haven't been opened yet. I found the hasbro pile and found 5 or 6 cases of the Hulkbuster wave! The first one I opened looked pretty decent as far as paint goes so I took one of the War Machines out and just checked out right there in lawn and garden haha. I love this wave, every figure is great and Hulkbuster is a phenomenal BAF. Words don't describe how huge it is in person, you have to see it with your own eyes to appreciate it
I always forget about garden. With seeing all the cases i did and no Visions,i'm sure someone cleaned them out anyway. If anyone has the waist and wants to trade for a couple single figures that doesn't want the BAF,LMK.I will trade in your favor.Valk. is off the table though,my daughter claimed her. Is anyone else's Blizzard a floppy mess? The ab is super loose,the neck is the same and the legs too.The legs seem worse cause the T-bar moves both the legs as one,but you can still move and pose the legs on their own...if that makes any sense. Overall,Hulkbuster was the only reason i got this wave.This is the first wave in some time that i haven't wanted any of the single figures.I do think the BAF's should fell like this more often.You know where the money went and its a solid,brick of a figure.I think this BAF alone will cost the price of the whole wave before its over.
I agree, even though I only wanted 3 or 4 from this wave, I have no regrets dropping $150 at once on the whole wave because of the Hulkbuster BAF. Feels so worth the money
Boy, I really wish I hadn't seen that Scarlet Spider at Target. I think I would've been happier not knowing I missed out on GR like that . Debating picking up a Dr. Strange at Walgreens, though. Him and the Rider are the only Legends I really want atm, but Strange is a pretty solid second place.
Finally found some of the Hulkbuster wave at a Walgreen's. I've gone back and forth on this wave since I heard about it. I really want the Hulkbuster but there are only a few of the individual figures that I want. After looking at the figures they had, and feeling the heft of the Hulkbuster pieces I think I'm going to have to track them all down now. Now to just get them without my wife finding out. Hmmmm.........
My local TRU has actually put the Ant-Man wave on the pegs for individual sale instead of forcing you to buy the wave in one shot. Between that and the new Star Wars toys I'm going to be broke...
You mean they wouldn't let you before? Anyway, still no Hulkbuster or Rhino waves in my area on shelves.
Nope! Starting with the Allfather wave TRU started selling all Legends as sets. Buy 'em all or buy nothing. Everyone else started to do the same shortly after. Now, the only figures you can walk into a store and buy are the double-packed ones. Judging by the number of Wasps I saw yesterday, they had 5 cases that just weren't moving. No wonder at the price they are here($30 US a figure). They are still sitting on several sets of the Allfather, Thanos and Hobgoblin waves.
Makes sense to me, the figures nobody wants always pegwarm really hard. Even at $10 on clearance my Target still had trouble getting rid of the GOTG Iron Man figures.
Except very few people are willing or even able to drop the near $200 US needed to buy the set. Most people are lucky to earn $2000 US here. Characters like Cap, Iron Man, Spidey and Thor fly off shelves when sold individually. But force people to buy them all at once and they rot.
Yea, I wouldn't pay $200 USD for these figures either, so I can't blame anyone in Taiwan Hasbro is just lucky that the MCU branding carries this line or retailers would have dropped it long ago.
Yep, the movies are the only reason the line still exists. Hasbro is really lucky to have three brands with such selling clout underneath their belt. DC really needs to give Mattel a booster shot, but Mattel would just fuck it up. Though I noticed something the other day. The hero masher have plenty of X characters. I saw Wolverine, Deadpool, Iceman, and Pyro. It's funny they'll put X characters into that line but not ML.
That's because hero mashers are under one generic "banner." Where it seems the Legends line goes by themed banners. Example "Avengers," "Ant-Man," "Spider-Man" That's what they tell us at least. I still think there's going to some sort of X-men themed Marvel Legends next year. It may be an exclusive set or something similar to the ridiculous 2014 jubilee wave.
Found Hawkeye and Captain Marvel on sale. I'm fairly happy with both of them, but isn't Hawkeye supposed to hold his bow in his left hand (the metallic arm)? Due to the sculpting of the hand he can't really get a secure grip on the bow. Of course the right hand holds it perfectly fine. That and I have finally managed to track down a Carnage from the Amazing Spiderman 2 line for a fairly good price. Now I just need to find a Superior Spiderman where the printed webbing doesn't look horrible..
