did anyone find out about when the TRU exclusives will be released and if the Iron Man/Hill, and Nick fury/ hand? sets be released as well?

you already cleared that up... i said the wrong figure by mistake lets move on This wasn't meant for you,i cleared it up for pooda. lol then i am and have been lost for this entire weekend. damn hasbro upsetting me and making me all defensive. i apologize mate :)

I think its because the new Nemesis stuff showing up in Canada seems to be shipping three figs from Nemesis and 3 from Ares for some reason. Yeah sorry i shoulda specified haha. They are shipping remnants of the ares wave with the nemesis wave, if u order the factory sealed case.

the only reason it bothers me is i dont want the entire dissolving of the ML line. I actually welcome a different scale for battlescenes, (i do stopmotion with ML, and the Icons lines) so having a smaller scale to do cityshots is awesome and def. welcome. i just would hate for them to create all of the Marvel Universe (hehe) in the MU scale and not in others. however the goliath is making me excited, and hopeful. if i can get that and the 2-packs, specifically the iron man/hill, and nick fury(duggan) sets i can wait out and start up my Wolverine Origins and MU collections, and put a little faith in Hasbro. either that or learn how to customize.

i honestly think they dont want the 2 different lines competing with each other. Why spend 8-9 dollars on a 3.75 inch figure when you can pay roughly 2 dollars more and get a 6 inch figure, with BAF option? They're simply trying to phase it out to see how their 3.75 inch works out. With its compatibility with GI Joe, and GI Joe's subsequent Film release later this year, they are trying to capitalize on the profitability and interchanging between MU, Wolverine Origins and Joe. Which is smart, however it sucks for us that are trying to continue our collections. I think thats why they delayed the Nemesis wave a bit to release now, in order to show some good faith, hoping us die hard ML's will also support their new endeavors... Shelf space and all those ideas, i dont think fly. The volume would be there if offered online, or actually at Walmart where it is supposedly "an exclusive." However there wasnt an opportunity to by them there. Unless they meant exclusively one Walmart per state bc then id actually believe. out of 11 walmarts in Louisiana i checked, i found them at 2. ...They just want us to be forced to get MU. and sadly i will. Job well done Falcon

Its spiderman,heroes reborn IM and ultimate war machine that shipped with the ares wave,not the human torch. you mean shipped with the nemesis series... lol. i cant believe you nitpicked that though.

Heres the problem with exclusives and shelf space.... The products arent even offered online.. if they were that worried about volume, they would at least offer the product online, through walmart in the case of the Ares wave or AT LEAST on Hasbro's own website. theres more to it then what everyones letting on. they already have the MU set for preorder, and yet for months i had to bust my ass trying to get crossbones and would gladly have ordered it online.. As i suspect MANY people would have done. Now that its cancelled they could easily offer it as an online exclusive through themselves like they did with Savage Land Box Set, AoA Sunfire, and She Hulk. But they arent. Instead they're shipping the mass produced spiderman, human torch and Ultimate War Machine with the Nemesis cases.... it doesnt make sense at all. ---- Now as far as shelf space is concerned... ML is a line that has proven to sell.! Why wouldnt hasbro have faith in ML but push ever so hard all of the Indiana Jones crap that it has.? Look how that turned out.. It just doesnt make any sense. The 2 walmarts that i found that did have the Ares wave, sold out quick. Like 2-3 days wise, and it took me months to collect the set. it doesnt add up

Im definitely thinking this has been some huge game by Falcon, and the Hasbro team. And although i dont know why they cancelled the Ares series (which is insane considering the wide shortages that line had to begin with) to replace it with the Nemesis series... im still glad its finally out. What sucks though is I had just preordered Crossbones 2 days ago from CMDstore This morning i got the email that it was cancelled and replaced by the Nemesis wave. So I ordered the whole set, even though there were a few figures i could of done without. I figured i might as well get it in one swoop, instead of driving all over the state trying to find them. and driving myself crazy in the process like i had trying to get Ares, and Red Hulk. I just dont understand the logic of having exclusive sets that arent even available at the store, nor the website. if they would of spent even half the effort of pushing Legends this past year, like they did the 50 million repaints and repackaging of Iron Man and Hulk toys, they could of made a fortune. But sadly it seems they're focus is on 3.75 inch from here on out. Anyway!. i cant wait for the new 2-packs and Icons lines!. And the Cyclops, Logan and Sabertooth Mighty Muggs.......and NOT! the phoenix one, its hideous.
