    Main point is ML has been pumping out characters barely anyone knows so it makes the chances of almost any character being made a decent possibility. Now, where’s my Mangog!

    Yeah, I only ordered Kitty and Iceman and they haven't been cancelled, but I'm realizing that if I had stuck to Amazon for that preorder, I'd probably already have them. Target and Walmart preorders are extremely hit or miss, sometimes they flow smoothly like with Mobius, other times they fuck you over for months.

    Amazon is no different in that regard

    They are for me, I've never had them cancel an order. It may take a while sometimes, but it always comes eventually.

    They've canceled several orders of mine without any sort of warning or delay approval request.

    Yeah, I've heard a few people say that. I guess your mileage varies with them, but it does seem like Target and Walmart are worse across the board.

    Oh it's definitely mileage may vary, they're reliable until they aren't. For what it's worth, I don't really trust any f those 3 for preorders anymore. Premium on Pulse helps make sure I get most of the exclusives I want and then I usually go through chosen prime or bbts for any other orders

    Actually I did have them cancel on me once, the villains wave back earlier this year when everyone had that same problem, but it got fixed quick enough. I usually go BBTS for fan channel stuff mostly for the pile of loot, but their price hike is annoying. I've gotten most of my most recent pickups from Gamestop, actually, they've been on the ball this month.

    I tend to go with chosen prime because they let me make payments on preorders whenever I want and at least there the few bucks of markup go towards free shipping (stash over $150 of orders) and rewards points for gift certificates

    Been rewatching the 90s Spider-Man cartoon lately, and getting tempted to go in on the Retro Spider-Man line. Main thing holding me back is that classic Peter Parker Spidey is out of stock everywhere and seems to go for over $100 on the aftermarket. I'm in it for the figures, not the packaging, so if anyone knows of any other classic style Spider-Man figures that go for a lower price, or any rumors of upcoming figures that full the same slot, I'd be interested to hear about it

    So I’m waiting on a refund from Walmart because Fed Ex “lost” my package. No movie Ironman, WM exclusive Capt, and 3.75 spidey. Iron man was a present for my son. He turned 11 today.

    someone could make a pretty good drinking game with that 90s show every time there's an explosion...

    seemed like they had to throw them in every few seconds or the kiddies would not find it exciting enough...

    I've heard of them, but I've never checked them out. I might do that now.

    If you're looking for Peter Parker, he's still available on BBTS. Spider-Man Marvel Legends Retro Collection Peter Parker

    I assume you mean the Retro Spiderman in the classic red and blue. To be honest, I wouldn't worry about him. Next year is the 60th anniversary of Spiderman and the 20th anniversary of Marvel Legends. We are definitely seeing that figure again in some form. If you want in, I'd start picking up the characters that you want that are less likely to be part of that. If you wait for next year for him to be re-released, you may have trouble finding characters like that Peter Parker, Electro, Green Goblin, Hobgoblin, Dock Ock, etc. Pulse is also going to offer a Venom decoed in the style of that show as a Pulse exclusive later this month, so if you like that, I'd grab it, because who knows how long it lasts?

    Peter also talks at a crazy fast pace. Absolutely zero pause between sentences. They definitely had little confidence in kids attention span. It's fun revisting it though, having random scenes trigger the memory of a Saturday morning 20 years ago when I saw a scene the first time.

    Yeah, I meant red and blue Spider-Man, not civilian Peter. Can't stand the look of the glasses. Would have greatly preferred if they were done like Lightning Collection MMPR Billy's civilian head.

    I've been strongly considering picking up some other figures to start, I was just worried about having a Spider-Man collection with no Spider-Man. But with both of those anniversaries, I'm probably safe. And I saw that Venom, that's a good portion of my reason for wanting to go in on the line too. The show was my first exposure to Venom, and started a lifetime love of Symbiote characters. I have a 90's figure of Carnage somewhere, but no Venom unfortunately. That figure's going to be my main priority when Pulsecon exclusives go up

    Their shipping below the $150 free shipping is kind of expensive, and once stuff goes out of stock it doesn't come back often, but if you can get day 1 preorders they're a great shop and have great customer service

    The glasses while not explicitly designed to be removable can be taken off and looks fine that way. A small divot behind the ear that isn’t noticeable on a shelf.

    Personally, I display him with the half-Spider-Man head to make it clear who he is, lol.

    I saw this on MCUcollector24’s Instagram and I thought it was a simple digibash, but I noticed her gloves are fingerless which makes her different than the promo pics from the original suit:

    Idk if it’s legit, just thought I’d share.
