Don't think we know of any set revealed or leaked but we might see something in the coming weeks.

What might we expect from this? Is it just special items, or do they discount stuff?

Maybe Target could finally just get around to shipping out the open Tracksuit Mafia pre-orders through their site as part of the celebration for this??? 😄 At this point I'm fully expecting those to just finally be cancelled as they realize they sold them out through their stores (even though I never saw any at mine). I'm very frustrated by this and it makes me not want to pre-order stuff through them anymore (although they're still better than Walmart!!).

I could see them doing some type of Disney+ Loki Season 2 exclusive figure here for Legends possibly (Victor Timely?). They already had the "super articulated" Black Widow as their Avengers anniversary exclusive (which is great!!), so it seems unlikely they'd have another one of those Avengers anniversary figures. The other possibility was something from the Marvels movie - but since the original release date for that was quite some time ago then I'd expect that would have likely already happened - but who knows?!? A Disney+ figures seems most likely to me...  yellow suit Daredevil? MCU Abomination? Secret Invasion Gravik, G'iah or Varra? Maybe a GotG3 Gamora or High Evolutionary? Scarlet Scarab from Moon Knight? I'd personally love a Porcupine / El Aguila 2-pack from She-Hulk!! I've been guessing mostly MCU stuff, but I'd honestly strongly prefer a new comic based character figure that hasn't been done before or at least any time within the past several years.

I'm in the same boat with my Black Widows.  I pre-ordered two as soon as POs opened and I feel like everyone in the world has gotten theirs except for me.  Anybody else in back order limbo with their Black Widows?

I honestly picked one of the Black Widows up at my local store and cancelled my pre-order, so can't speak to that one personally --- but I do think it's ridiculous that they can't ship out pre-orders around the same time they're putting product out on the shelves at the physical stores. In another thread someone mentioned that they're still waiting on their Ghost Rider on a Target pre-order that is still open also. It seems to be a common thing that stuff is marked to clearance at the physical stores before the pre-orders are shipped.

Do we even know that it's for ML? It just said Hasbro, which could also mean Black Series, Classified or a bunch of other things. If it is ML, I have no clue what it could be. The Hasbro reveal is slated for a week before Pulsecon, and given we'll likely see the NWH wave at Pulsecon, maybe it's connected to that wave, could be the heretofore absent Electro maybe. Or a random absent MCU villain ala Scarlet Witch like High Evolutionary or Dar-Benn? I hope it's a MCU figure reveal though, we've gotten like twice as many comic figures this year as MCU figures, so it would be nice to see something good from the MCU here, even if it is delegated to a Target exclusive.

Probably the Classified offerings will be Python Patrol Copperhead and Python Patrol Trooper, though maybe they could surprise us with a new Tiger Force Joe beyond Flint (Roadblock, maybe?).

No idea on anything else. Though I'd be surprised if there was NO Marvel Legends offering (Or Black Series, or Transformers).

Oh Yippy more things that TRU can get and never ever stock, sounds like so much delight for a Canadian collector
