  1. I've been collecting Marvel Select since Marvel Legends went away so my favorites that came out in 2011 were Gambit and Disney Exclusive Hawkeye. I was going to say Juggernaut too but I do think he came out at the end of 2010. I bought a Titanium Man too...pretty nice. I passed on Crimson Dynamo too many times now he's no where. I've still never seen any of the 6 inch Cap or Thor figures at any Wal-Mart.

  2. Hey if any of you are interested in some Marvel Select figures (Especially the Disney Store exclusives!) they are having a 25% off sale on everything today! You pick the figures you want (or if you want the Future Foundation of Classic Avenger Minimates Box Sets) then go to check out and type in THANKYOU25. Also: if you want free shipping all you have to do is add something from their Disney Parks collection. I found the cheapest thing (Mickey Mouse Toast Press for $3.95) and added that to my cart. Then type in PARKSFREE in the same place you typed THANKYOU25. Pretty awesome deal. The Marvel Select figures come out to less than $17. Just thought I'd pass this awesome info along! It ends today though.

     

    Oh shoot I never put the website! www.disneystore.com. I bet they have some Marvel Universe figures too.

  3. Jee, guess who hadn't read x-Force 16 cause it just came out? This guy, nice spoiler..

     

    Spiderman is okay, could be better, but I like him. Better treatment than he gets in MU anyway.

     

    Ha sorry man; you had to have seen that coming from the past few issues though. It didn't actually happen yet though. Just implied. I didn't realize people read current books on here but I should've known at least one other person has been reading this amazing series.

     

    Anyways i think that Spider-Man & Daken look awesome. I'm just happy that we're seeing all double elbow/knees & swivel biceps again!

  4. The price jump has been in effect since the beginning of the year (Magneto, Cyclops, Gambit, Juggernaut...) but one store close to me still sells them for $19.99.

     

    That colossus sure does look damn close to a legends, all the needed articulation is there. Why a new green goblin? I like the head sculpt, and the glider, but the rest is Fail to me. I was hoping to see some more new 2012 announcments. I will get red skull for the base, and goblin for the glider and see if the head fits on my other MS Goblin. Did you notice the Price jump, but not much though $21.99. Its worth it if they come with better bases, Build a base.
  5. Yep I was able to get 2 of the SDCC exclusive ones from HTS on Tuesday (they haven't shipped yet though so hopefully nothing gets messed up). I might buy a couple more at retail when I see them. Especially if they get clearanced. We'll have a way better chance of finding Galactus at clearance though. No one wants multiples of him but everyone wants lots of Sentinels.

  6. Marvel Select is the reason people nitpick. I am excited for Marvel Legends to continue though. Not overly excited about the first wave but wave 2 is amazing.

     

    I can explain to you why a lot of us feel that way if you like thedevilsdue06. To sum it up quickly, we are talking about the toy company that at one time destroyed what was most of our favorite toy lines of all time which was Toybiz ML. Hasbro ran it into the ground and for 3 years they treated collector's like #$@#. Yes they are making some nice figures now but it doesn't make up for what they did. In my mind I will be satisfied if they release 5 waves of ML figures with Bafs in 2012 just like Mattel has this year with DCUC. If they do that then they are forgiven. This is a start but Hasblow is Hasblow and a lot of us can't forgive what they did to the line in the first place. That is why all the griping. Hope that clears it up for you.

     

    Well all I can say if your attitude represents most ML collector's then I wouldn't hold much hope for the line to make a come back. First your description of history is off. ML was dying out before Hasbro even took over the line. Toy Biz flooded the market with their last several waves of Marvel Legends which sat their collecting dust for over a year. Also you act as if Hasbro stole the license away. Toy Biz/Marvel was done with it and sold it off to another toy company. You wouldn't have any ML at all then or now if it wasn't for Hasbro. Over the years since Hasbro took over the license this country has experienced some horrid economic times and the landscape of the toy market has changed drastically since ML were first released.

     

    You can sit there and act like you are owed something and set your expectations so high that no toy company could meet them which will likely mean the death for Marvel Legends, or you can understand that in this market your probably lucky to be getting anything at all at this point and if you want to see more and more effort put into it, its going to require people buying them. When you are always looking at ways to be negative and nitpick every little thing all your doing is creating a negative environment know one really wants to be part of. If you have constructive input about how to improve a line, their are better ways of doing it than making statements like Hasblow suck, ect ect. In the end if you don't like something then don't buy it, that's the most powerful statement anyone of you can make but if you are serious about wanting ML returning, it's in as much your hands as a collector community as it is Hasbro's, and how you portray that community has an impact.

  7. I love that Marvel Legends are happening again...but I think for me personally I've been away from them for too long. They are cool to look at and see new figures but I got rid of most of mine & have moved on to Marvel Select & Minimates. And at $14.99? I guess I paid that much for the Deadpool/Warpath pack ($30 total) but Rogers & Constrictor might be the only ones i pick up (and Klaw if they don't use that tiny Silver Surfer body). Or I'll pick up the others for the Terrax parts (b/c he looks awesome...hands aside) and sell the others. So I guess I'm not necessarily complaining about the price...there just aren't many figures in this wave that I would pay $15 for.

     

    Excited to see how this line evolves. I remember first starting with Toybiz Marvel Legends and thinking "How can they ever make these better!?" Toybiz did have their shortcomings and Hasbro has had some very good figures...but I never thought I would see it go backward. For now I will be an optimistic onlooker and hope that I don't regret skipping out on most of these.

  8. $50-$60 is cheaper than buying the whole wave! I may be more likely to do that rather than buy all these figures that I don't really want. And it is weird that they are re-using old molds when they said that they weren't doing that. That was the first thing I noticed. And it is funny that Ghost Rider is the best one. I didn't get why he was blue at first but then I remembered that's what Ketch looks like now.

     

    I think the ML figures look very skinny and skimpy.

     

    I guess I'll pick and choose some good ones once they hit retail to go with the Select figures. The Exclusive SDCC Thor makes for a cool display piece. Not really feeling any of Wave 1 outside of Terrax, who is a rather small choice for a BAF to begin with and will be a $50-60+ Ebay pain to get ahold of, certainly with the rising retail costs.

     

    Edit: Kinda funny that "Movie Ghost Rider" (aka comic Ketch) turned out to be the winner of this set when I think I'm not the only person who groaned upon hearing of a "movie figure" in Wave 1.
