Annihilation box...
Annihilus
Thanos in his lesser vestments (as at the end of Infinity Gauntlet) with Skreet mini-fig
Super-Skrull (like the BAF but needs a better head sculpt)
Ronan - a PROPER Ronan, that MCU one is a JOKE.
And we DEFINITELY NEED an Aegis of All Sorrow and Tenebrous of the Dark Masterworks.

I'd go for a "Heralds of Galactus" box set:
Surfer (already available; you know Hasbro is going to recycle figures)
Terrax (all parts already available)
Any 2 of Air-Walker/Firelord/Morg/Red Shift
I don't think any of those would be too difficult
Would be over-the-moon with a Fallen One or Stardust fig, but guessing it's a buck issue

I say yes to all of this, but I disagree on Volstagg being the BAF. I want to own 3 copies of each Warrior. I think the BAF should be Laufey or Surtur. Replace Firelord with Volstagg
Tbf, highly unlikely they make Volstagg a "normal" figure (if they ever do, and I hope they do). His buck is so...well, almost unusable after you make him There aren't THAT many fat guys in the MU.
I would LOVE to see Surtur as a Marvel MasterWorks figure. But I figure he/it needs to be least 2x the size of his Asgardian foes.

I would love to see a U-Foes box set, but I figure they're too obscure to sell very well as one set, unless they came with the Hulk. Maybe they'd be better to just release them one at a time in different waves.
Funny you mention the U-Foes, I came across this the other day (totally wasn't looking for it):
THE INCREDIBLE HULK: IRONCLAD MARVEL LOOSE FIGURE ONLY 2008 MOVIE INCOMPLETE HTF | eBay
Doesn't look like a legitimate Hasbro job, but you probably don't wanna make Ironclad look too athletic anyway!

Agree with @Rukkdeez about Classic Warlock and Classic Drax (Starlin), and also about Mephisto, which someone else also mentioned. Mephisto is absolutely at the top of my list. I'm convinced that if they did Mephisto in a classic Starlin way they could shift a lot of units.
NB: Crediting Starlin as *author*, not necessarily artist. Perez and Lim were as important.

So Doom is fighting Galactus? That sounds pretty epic
I'll admit that I've been WAY out of the loop in the MU Comic Universe for a while now, but long ago we saw Doom try to usurp Galactus (Secret Wars), and that didn't end so well for Doom.
I LOVE Doom, but to Galactus and Thanos he is never more than an irritant, easily dispatched.

Yeah, that would make sense, with Super Skrull- he has been rumored as a Walgreens exclusive for many months; I could see Hasbro holding him back when they found out The Skrulls would be a big part of MCU Captain Marvel. Personally, I would love for him to be a BAF, with a good amount of interchangeable parts to mimic him using The FF's powers. He needs to be bigger than the old FF Classics one, too.
Forget BAF and the gamble that entails for Hasbro. For a Super Skrull with all the different parts I'd gladly pay a 25-30% premium over the average single figure. It CAN'T be that hard!
But that's only if it's done right. Gotta be on an appropriate body/torso sculpt. No doubt they've already got molds to do the rest.

Thanos Imperative
0 -
Oh, and Cable, I think you have to put Thanos Imperative in that list. Solid from beginning to end. Just finished Annihilation (yeah, yeah) but I found it often disjointed, although I did read it as a 3-part TPB so that probably wasn't the best way. Still, Thanos Imperative didn't require a bazillion crossovers to tell its story.

Yeah love how he and the black order look so far in the movie from what we have seen. Love how they are combining Infinity guantlet saga with the Infinity saga as those are 2 of the 3-4 best story lines in Marvel History IMO along with Annihilation/Annihilation conquest and Civil War 1.
Black Order look great...Thanos...not so much. That statue certainly isn't representative of his garb in Annihilation as far as I recall.

That's true now, but Legends is really doing a good job with figures. Distribution still sucks, but the figures are tight.
It's really a weird transition...I checked this evening and EVERY MU-scale figure I want is in stock, yet I don't feel the compulsion to buy them. If they were in MU packaging?! Sh!t....

Still up on Target.com...scored one!

You, sir, are INSANE!
I've finally gotten one at more-or-less-retail, but that is an unbelievable deal.0 -
Sorry bro, you can never have enough xmen. What do you want more iron mans or more Spiderman? Tired of that! Fall back, I think he had good lists.
Oh, snap, you're right! We DEFINITELY need more Wolverines, Cyclops's (sp???), Colossuses (Colossai?), et al. ...they're SO interesting!
Oh, wait...no they're not interesting at all. Ruling stands: NO MORE X-MEN. BO-RING.
Apocalypse and end it. The rest are a waste of time. One must be a complete spacker to value X-Men over the rest of the MU...

We already have Archangel and Magneto and two awesome Sentinel versions, with Scarlet Witch announced...make a new Apocalypse and be done with X-Men...concentrate the resources in more important places...

Trading has largely slowed down because there isn't s#it to trade imo! There was a lot of MU trading when figures were being consistently released (at least, based on Hasbro's definition of "consistent"). That said, I've tried a couple times to trade for ML but haven't had any takers.
That said, Heisenberg, what would you take in trade for Carnage? ML or MU. And how much does ML retail for where you live?

tl;dr...
BAFs...Sentinel, M.O.D.O.K., Iron Monger...Galactus if you didn't get the MU MasterWorks version (which is better)...Red Hulk...Annihilus...FFF...I think that about covers must-have BAFs...unless you're an X-Men kinda guy...

Yeah, man, I looked everywhere. They even left a ladder out on the aisle right in front so you know I climbed that thing and surveyed the entire store! I stashed a Stryfe...my younger son was ambivalent about it...
As for TRU employees...it would be nearly impossible for the TRU muckety-mucks to monitor the rank-and-file, unless the RaF are dumb enough to give them their eBay seller names. And that totally doesn't rule out them making verbal deals with whomever to funnel all the good stuff into small hands...

Just got back from a TRU Rego run...they had tons of Stryfe, Cyclops, and Wolverine, but not a single Storm or Magneto...and I was there within 5 minutes of opening. I'm starting to suspect that the good figures are being held back by employees or a scalper has made a deal with one of them. It's impossible for there to be at least 5 of each of those figures and not one Storm or Magneto within that window. I'm not too fussed...I just want Magneto, and I'm sure I'll get him at some point...even if I have to go to Times Square...blecchh...

Umm...yeah...you're correct...I did find a Cyclops...it just never occurred to me that someone would want X-Men other than Magneto...

Nah, man, I'm serious...this could be the WORST TRU in the Continental USofA. They SUCK. Or maybe I'm just cross that when I first moved here I passed on the Hulk/Valkyrie ML set when I saw it there the weekend I moved in.
But I've very rarely gotten anything from there that can be considered...pfftt..easy to find....

Awesome post/review DS! I think I can save you a LOT of time, however...unless you also live in Rego Park you can skip the TRU in Rego Center. It's a friggin' wasteland. They almost NEVER update their stock. And when they do anything good is gone in 5 minutes. I can't even recall the last time I scored something good there...

For my fellow NYCers, do any of you know if this will be sold at Duane Reade as well? It's funny, I can throw a rock and hit a Duane Reade but Walgreen's are few and far between...

Checked Walgreens site today, it said that Agent Venom is not available online and NOT sold in stores...

Also, if Marvel ever indulges us with Heralds of Galactus, we need a Haslabs Galactus figure. If a Sentinel can get to almost 22K, how much would a Galactus generate?!
