The Walgreens near my mall has consistently had Brainstorm in stock rather well. Usually about five on the peg. Actually they tend to be better in general with not only the store exclusives but stock as a whole. Though to be fair to the one in my town they were how I finally got Spider-Gwen and Venom.
I'm not in any hurry to get the goblin (or any of the other figures from that wave.) I still haven't gotten around to opening Punisher, Kraven, or Hobgoblin...
Was out of town today and stopped at a few Toys R Us' and Targets looking for some Transformers Robots in Disguise Warriors and.... Surprise, surprise I ain't found shit! But I did pick up a few Marvel Legends at Target since they were on clearance. Picked up the War Machine 2pack, Cottonmouth, and Whirlwind. Just need Cap, Mockingbird, and Scourge and I'll have Red Onslaught.
Wow. Seems like the man has managed to piss off everyone who's worked for him at some time or another.
Yea, if you haven't done so, check out the whole legal battle between Gaiman and Mcfarlane. It took years to resolve!
New GOTG2 wave avail on Amazon now, out of stock but can still order for shipping later: https://www.amazon.com/s/keywords=M...ws-20&linkId=7505887053441e446c3762f442dd9b42
Thanks for the FYI. Threw Angela & Darkhawk in with a preorder for the Before Trilogy Criterion set, so I'll have a nice box coming my way sometime in Marchish, I guess. I can wait on Kid Nova & Vance, and I'd prefer to pick up the arms on their own since I still skip MCU Legends.
I don't think there is a single GotG figure that I'm willing to pay full retail for. I'll get a Darkhawk and Nova when they're clearanced, probably a few starlords for customs. This whole wave feels like mostly rehash. Even with new sculpts, they offer little if anything that their predecessor figures did not. I'm far more excited about the impending '17 X-men wave.
I want all the BAFs but not many of the figures. Look forward to Angela and Darkhawk but yeah, not paying full retail for any of those or hopefully any ML for a long time.
Taking a break from Legends for a while, unless they go on sale. Just can't do full retail anymore. Not after the last year.
Well, I checked into my local Walgreens on my way home. They didn't have anything from the newer Spidey wave. ...And STILL no Brainstorm. Wtf? Are they in pegs with the rest of the TR deluxes or somewhere else?
I'd go ahead and pre-order a case, but the wave should hit rather well with it being a movie wave. Or so I hope with how much of a presence the Strange wave had even before the movie released.
I pre-ordered Angela. I think I'll be able to pick up Star-Lord and Darkhawk fairly easily at retail.
