Got an email from Pulse that my S.H.I.E.L.D. two-packs (I ordered two) are shipping soon. 

Same.  Have three on the way.  Good thing it's payday.  Pumped!

Me too. I ordered two also!

Still only a Shocker from the Spidey Retro wave and now just America Chavez from the Dr Strange wave. 

Targets ‘1 figure of a wave’ strategy is backfiring as every store within an hours drive just have the above figure.

oh.. saw this gem today in a local Meijers.. so many questions

Not spending anymore time driving around for Walgreens exclusives. Pre-ordered Baron Zemo from here for about $37 shipped:

Figured this covers wasted gas and effort. Of course make the call if it’s worth it to you, I did the math and I am fine with the more $$

I’ve got 3 SHIELD sets on the way. Love Pulse’s army builders. Honestly the best use of the Hasbro exclusives yet. Can’t wait for my Skrulls and Black Ninjas

on the fence is the 2 packs are better or if single figs are the way to go. Win/ win really, the SHIELD team was best in a two pack but Skrulls/ Ninjas/ Hellfire Club goons/Hydra troopers work as singles.. either way great idea Hasbro, keep these coming

oh dang.. wonder how the price hike effects army builders?!? Not really cost effective if they jump to $20 a pop..

[Emnems80]

Finally shipped a small pile of loot from BBTS, will finally get my Mafex Gambit!

I also stopped by Target this morning and picked up the Retro Spiderman Spider armor mk I. Also saw Shocker, some Mr. Fantastics, and Sleepwalker from the Rintrah wave

The Doctor Strange wave arrived today from DorkSide.

Yeah, the singles are fine as long as the figure doesn't need any individual personalization, like the A.I.M. trooper. But the S.H.I.E.L.D. Agents have five different head options, and if those are sold individually, well, if you want to buy four or six troops, that's.... that's a lot of extra heads going to waste.

I'll be curious to see how they approach the Kree trooper because they have multiple skin tones. They could also have an unmasked head for classic Mar-Vell. Would that troop builder be better as a two-pack? What about a Nova Corps troop builder multipack with the same generic body but three or four different alien heads wearing the helmet? But a Brood alien or Ultron drone are identical so they still work as singles.

[MonsterChris]

Skrulls are apparently on the way along with my S.H.I.E.L.D. troopers.  I've got five of those BEMs coming.  There's going to be a big S.H.I.E.L.D./Skrulls dust-up happening on the ol' bookshelf later this week!

Same here. I saw the SHIELD 2 packs charged notifications first but the Skrulls slipped in and got a shipping notice about 2 hours before the SHIELD sets..

dang wasn’t counting on nearly $200 In Legends this week but go8ng to be so happy to get them all.

They could always slip in blue heads as extras so people can decide if their Kree are the more dominant Blue or the minority white skin tone. I always get the Kree uniforms messed up. Are they always green and white (at least in comics) or do they have different colors for different ranks? If so, that could get expensive 

love the idea of the alien heads for Nova Corps..

Just googled my answer.. still, think I’d only be interested in Captains

privates are purple

captains are green

colonials are blue

generals are red

Yeah, honestly, I don't think I would want anything but the classic green and white design. I can't say I've always yearned for a comic accurate Yon-Rogg.

Oof.  Same.  I wish they would charge me when I place the pre-order like NECA does.  Especially since the estimated and actual release dates are wildly different sometimes.

Agree completely. I prefer dropping the money at time of order then it’s paid for and out of the way. And I know what money I’ve got coming out. Today was a nice surprise but if I’d known $200 was coming  out it eases the pain 

[McHogan]

Saw a lone Spider-Man No Way Home figure at my closest Walgreens the other day. Either a fluke or a sign that Legends will be getting back in stores?

[RyanDaly]

Got emails that both my S.H.l.E.L.D. and Skrull troop builders have shipped. 

[McHogan]

Picked up Symbiote Spidey and got ship notifications that my Hand Ninjas are in the way now too. 

Dang love this windfall but between SHIELD, Skrulls, Hand, and two waves that just dropped I am out a pretty penny this week

EDIT: yeeeesh I’ve also got Retro Scarlet Witch and Vision on preorder with a SHIPPING SOON notification.. it’s XMas in February 

[McHogan]

Anyone see this Ancient Warrior Bear figure on BBTS? Could be a nice alternative to Ursa Major if you’re willing to spend the $$

Amazon just shipped out my Ben Reilly and Symbiote retro Spidermen!

[Neal]

My Skrull and SHIELD Agents arrived today.

Same.

dont know why I assumed the SHIELD guys were in the standard Legends 2 pack box. A little weird when they arrived in the same size box as the Skrulls. Then I saw the cool mini box.. no doubt loose inside.. still cool money saving effort Hasbro

[Neal]

The Hand Ninja Trooper Pack and Retro Loki arrived today from Pulse.
