Haaaa that's so great! I would buy this just for the art...even if I couldn't stand Deadpool!

Last time I got my HTS order a day before my BBTS order so they're both good options. I don't trust TRU though...it costs more and every time I've ordered from them everything had some degree of damage.
I don't know why BBTS is so slow, but I've preorder multiple items with them including Marvel Legends and they have always the last online store to ship. I think I've only kept one prodder with them. I normally cancel it and order from another vendor online.I get what he is saying. All the orders that went for the last wave got delivered before BBTS's Pre-orders arrived. hasbro toy shop orders and Toys r us orders beat BBTS delivery times last time around.

What are some other reliable online vendors for Marvel Legends? I've always had great service from BBTS and great prices so I've never looked anywhere else. It might take a little longer but $17.22 including shipping & tax and not having to use any gas is a great price per figure.

Thanks! Pre-ordering really is the best thing to do. It is around $17 per figure with shipping. That's so much easier & cheaper than driving all over looking for them. But yes I do enjoy not knowing exactly what I'll get. I used to love the hunt so I enjoy that part too.

Also last I checked the Toybiz one is a bit more pricey MOC. I've seen loose ones go for under $16 recently on eBay though.

Hopefully Deadpool is more of a light grey...I would be fine with that. I wish Fantomex was a light grey color. White just doesn't work.
In my opinion there is absolutely nothing wrong with getting a few extras. I look at them as investments. Taking money from the bank & putting it into a toy. It will only appreciate. I wouldn't be able to afford buying new figures most times if I didn't have some extras from years past to sell or trade. I don't know why others collect but I collect to decorate an open room and to invest in future real life needs (like this year when I unexpectedly owed a few hundred dollars in taxes. I paid the government in toys) or new figures. It's a lot more fun than stocks. I know this is a community and everyone is looking for help from other collectors but sometimes you have to be smart & help yourself too. The grey color on the Fantomex Minimate is beyond perfect.All that being said...and I thought that I already mentioned this...but this set, now more than ever, makes me wish Fantomex was grey and not white. His non X-Force look is white...he wears grey in Uncanny X-Force. He isn't going to match Wolverine, Psylocke, Archangel or Deadpool. I never trust myself to paint or do any sort of customizing to any figure so that's not an option for me. The best I can do is swap heads on Minimate SHIELD agents.
You might be wrong on that deadpool form the looks of that Crain Card art he might be white.

The Hasbro Doom is one of my favorite Marvel Legends. I need to get one back. For less than $30 hopefully.

Don't forget about Deathlok and AOA Nightcrawler! It would be so awesome to get those two in an Uncanny X-Force look.
in all fairness, 3 sets can be justified depending on how you display. two major xforce squads are Wolverine, Warpath, x-23, Archangel & Wolfsbane (granted we don't have her). so that is one look. the other, obviously is Wolverine, Fantomex, Deadpool, Archangel & Psylocke. that's two sets there and the 3rd is if you are a MOC collector as well or customizer.....0 -
Yep I got lucky with getting a Sentinel last year. SOOO lucky actually...I wasn't even thinking about SDCC exclusives...I was just browsing & I saw the Sentinel on there & snagged one ASAP! Hopefully we get the rumored Master Works (is that was the Marvel Universe people call it) Fin Fang Foom as well. Green not orange.

SO AWESOME!! Hopefully I can snag one of these on HTS after SDCC...unless anyone can pick up lots of extras & send me one for cost plus shipping. This, now more than ever, makes me wish Fantomex was grey and not white. He'll be the only one that doesn't match. Wolverine's shoulders look weird in that pose...I'll have to see a better pic. I imagine this will be close to $50.

I have an extra Cap & Iron Man...just PMed you.
if anyone one find the avengers figures and wants to sell them to me for cost plus shipping, let me know! I need hawkeye, loki, cap, a marvel select hulk, and maybe even the iron man0 -
The TRUs around me have lots of those but they are $15 plus tax and then plus shipping so it would cost me at least $23 to get one for you. If I see any cheaper though I'll let you know & snag it for ya!
Hey guys I need help. Looking for a non-battle damaged Mark VI. Looking to spend around $12 shipped. I know they are at alot of Targets still for like $7 on clearance. They unfortunately have all sold from around here though. I passed on him too many times and now it's biting me in the butt. Thanks for your condiseration guys.0 -
I actually love that sculpt for Blade! Punisher's face sculpt is awesome.
0 -
Oh I won't...they have been going for crazy amounts there! I'm not much of a movie figure collector...I just really like that Hulk. If I happen to find him I'll get him but I'm finished hunting them. This one case of exclusives crap is nonsense. For the most popular movie ever...please.

For those of you that have found these...have stores really only been getting one case?
0 -
Do these come 8 to a case or 6 to a case? The Wal-Mart I was at on Monday said they didn't have any in stock but have 8 on the way...so I'm wondering does that mean one case w/ 8 figures or 8 cases? It would be so dumb to only get one case of an exclusive. Then again...this is Wal-Mart we're talking about.

Whoops I totally meant to post that in the Walmart Avengers thread...sorry.

I spent 2 hours at a Wal-Mart yesterday b/c I was told twice by employees there that they would be putting out the 6 inch Avengers. So when they finally rolled out lots of boxes the lady had her scanner & scanned the price tag on the pegs for them & said they actually didn't have any but 8 were on the way. They are getting one case...that is so pitiful. I give up on these.

The Wreckers and the Madames seem to be regional releases. The west predominantly received Piledriver and Madame Hydra while the eastern part of the country received Thunderball and Madame Masque. I've never seen Piledriver or Madame Hydra in a store here in Nashville, TN. I was able to trade a Thunderball and Masque for Piledriver and Viper with someone in Las Vegas area I believe. I've seen lots of Thunderball and Madame Masques...especially in Disney Stores.
I wonder if the revision cases will fix that...
Not to bask in anyone's misery but it seems like Piledriver and Madam Masque are the only ones left warming the pegs, along with Bucky Cap - which is sad for such a great figure. And then there's the occasional Drax and rarely a Fantomex.Sad thing is that we only receive one shipment of stuff and no chance of a restock so we won't see Masque or Thunderball at all. The Terrax wave is completely gone and we've yet to receive the Avengers movie figures.

I forgot to mention that I picked up Jack O Lantern (Mad Jack), Black Panther & Series 8 Iron Man for $21 loose on free comic book day. I also just received Kang, Ant Man, Black Knight, Green Goblin (Onslaught series) and Nova all MOC from RHINOMAN for $100 shipped.

OH! I just found the pic; I remember seeing it now. Looks so awesome!

Is there a new bulked up Rhino Minimate coming out? If so I totally missed that!
I love the ML one too but alwyas felt his legs were to spindly for my taste. The thighs on the new one are more to my liking. Between this and the new Minimate two pack, being a Rhino fan has never been better...0 -
Oh he'll be as big as Marvel Select Abomination, Hulk, Thing & Juggernaut...I guarantee it. Can't wait.
And for all the back & forth about which is better...I LOVE the Marvel Legends Rhino...I think it's my favorite one. Wish I never got rid of it. But I'd rather pay $22 for this giant Rhino than time, energy & $40 hunting down the Marvel Legends Rhino.
I will be buying two, no matter what. I love it!! Will hold off on deciding which is the better of the two until I have one in my mitts. Just happy they finally made one of him & hoping he's a hefty fella...0

I looked at CMDstore but they charge for 6 figures what BBTS charges for 8. I'll stick with BBTS and wait a little longer if I have to.
