  1. I'm going to go vanilla here and say that I would really like to see an updated Toad. That Toybiz one is a joke, and I want to be one character closer to finishing up my Brotherhood. Although, I would sell my best friend's oldest child in exchange for a hover chair Xavier, a Jim Lee era Magneto with a mullet, Sauron, or hell, Commando.
  2. TRU could definitley benefit from scaling their "adult collector" section back to just NECA, Diamond Select, Funko, and McFarlane Toys. I agree, there's just too much random stuff littering their shelves. Most TRUs I visit are a wreck.
  3. Lol. Ya, the idea that any one of the current cash cows is being ruled out to appear in a vehicles wave is laughable. Deadpool may not, but he's got as much a possibility as any of the other marquee characters. I saw the Spider cycle coming a mile away & it will happen. When it does, the DP on a scooter will not seem so far fetched in retrospect. Hell I wouldn't even rule out, or be all that opposed if the did a "Tongue in Cheek" (or serious, for that matter) Hulk cycle a' la the Toybiz Bump'n'Go toys from the early 2000's. Just get me a damn updated hulk on the Ragnarok Hulk buck. My money's just waiting to be spent. Now that I think about it, just include any random bike that any of the other figures would fit on. Just get it done. As far as future Dedpools? The possibilities are endless. I know we don't wanna see them all but in order for the line to continue we're gonna have to come to terms with the fact that every variation is being thoroughly weighed. Can't have any more Deadpool waves without Deadpool, after all. For this, I'm still somewhat convinced (and hopeful) that the upcoming DP wave will include Warpath rather than X-Force DP. I would think they're saving him to anchor the next wave. Then all they'll have left as headliners are X-Men DP, Movie DP (face it, it's coming), battle damaged DP, Weapon X DP, Venompool (not back in black), boxer shorts DP, Leifield DP (sorry, puked a little), Hulked DP, Secret Wars DP (with alternate head & broken shield) etc....etc. Believe me, he's far from being fully exploited Isn't the new DP we are getting in his first wave basically the Leifield DP (costume wise), or do you mean a figure sculpted to look like Leifield's..."style" of drawing? Hopefully not his style of drawing, DP wouldn't have any feet! Haha! It could come with interchangeable nubs.

  5. I really hope Doc Ock is his classic costume. It seems silly to release a newer and very different costume when they've been releasing so many great Spidey villains in mostly classic costumes.
  6. The GotG2 Wave 2 pre-orders just became available at BBTS. I was charged and they're shipping now.
  7. Heads up. The "Homesuit" Spidey is available from that link. There were 12 in stock last I checked. And you guys are totally welcome. I enjoy helping out the community if and when I can!
  8. The 2nd GotG Vol.2 wave just went up for pre-order on BBTS with a May release (though I find that's usually inaccurate). So maybe those will start popping up soon.
  9. Hope these help. Some of them are kinda wonky, so you may have to try a few times. Marvel Legends Homecoming direct to cart links Moon Knight https://www.amazon.com/gp/aws/cart/add.html?&ASIN.1=B01G3A8WWS&OfferListingId.1=0429P59IEE4&Quantity.1=1 Wingsuit https://www.amazon.com/gp/aws/cart/add.html?&ASIN.1=B01G3A8US4&OfferListingId.1=0429P59IEE4&Quantity.1=1 Tombstone https://www.amazon.com/gp/aws/cart/add.html?&ASIN.1=B01G3A8UWU&OfferListingId.1=0429P59IEE4&Quantity.1=1 Vulture https://www.amazon.com/gp/aws/cart/add.html?&ASIN.1=B01G3A8VDI&OfferListingId.1=0429P59IEE4&Quantity.1=1 Beetle https://www.amazon.com/gp/aws/cart/add.html?&ASIN.1=B01G3A8X9A&OfferListingId.1=0429P59IEE4&Quantity.1=1 Cosmic Spiderman https://www.amazon.com/gp/aws/cart/add.html?&ASIN.1=B01G3A8XGI&OfferListingId.1=0429P59IEE4&Quantity.1=1 Homesuit https://www.amazon.com/gp/aws/cart/add.html?&ASIN.1=B01G3A8WOG&OfferListingId.1=0429P59IEE4&Quantity.1=1 Currently, only Tombstone, Beetle, and Vulture are in stock. But these links should work if and when the rest are back in stock
  10. I can share those Amazon links, I just wasn't sure if that's frowned upon or whatnot.
  11. The Amazon links are still up, or were last night. I ordered Moon Knight last night at around 11:30 pm EST. If you saved it to a list or already ordered it then you can add when in stock, but the actual item page is gone. There are links posted in a Marvel Legends FB group, and that's the link I used. The only figure I have saved is Cosmic Spider-Man. The links automatically add the items to your cart. So I don't know if that's because it's a link someone else saved from their cart, or something, but, that's how I bought those figures.
  12. The Amazon links are still up, or were last night. I ordered Moon Knight last night at around 11:30 pm EST.
  13. Think we will see Homecoming wave before next Friday at retail? I actually picked up the entire Homecoming wave from Amazon over the past 2 weeks. So they may start showing up sooner, who knows.
  14. Still on the look out for Colossus. My Targets and Walgreens have such wacky restocks, it's never the same day. Plus X-wave has come to a halt it seems. From what I've been told by Walgreens employees, they get plastic totes with random stuff just thrown into them, which is why their restocks are so spotty. As an example: Apparently, at some sort of distribution point, a case of figures is opened, and it's split up into totes for different stores. However, sometimes they do get full waves. Now, maybe this is just in Kentucky or the Louisville area...or maybe that employee is full of it, but, it makes sense because the Walgrees restocks seem totally random to me. So far, I've found the entire Warlock wave at Walgreens except for Colossus and Shatterstar.
  15. I usually have a lot of luck with Walgreens. I picked up the entire Dormammu wave there back in November, and aside from Angela, I found all of the Titus wave there as well. Target and Walgreens are responsible for 95% of the ML and BS figures I buy.
  16. I found Cyclops and Sunfire at Walgreen's today -- they rang up for $19.99.
  17. Yeah, all of the Targets around me have stalled on receiving more of the Warlock wave. I've a sinking feeling that it'll be a minute before they show up in the Louisville area again. As for peg warmers: Sandman - Jackal and Black SM Titus - Starlord Warlock - lol
  18. Found the entire GotG2 wave at the Target across the street from my place. I only snagged Angela, since I have everything else from that wave that I want. I have to say, that Vance Astro is one of the most boring figures I've seen so far.
  19. Lol, similar encounter. I went to a Target where they had just put out the GOTG wave. As I was walking up the aisle I passed a guy leaving the area. Clearly he was another collector but he didn't have anything in his hands but he was acting kinda nervous & shifty. Obviously he had just stashed something. So after looking thru the pegs where they had put out at least 2 casses, I find there was no Angela, of course. So I kinda waited for the kid to leave so I could start hunting for his treasure, but he never really did. He left the aisle for a minute or two but he kept coming by, pacing the area, just generally hanging around. This bothered me cuz I'm wondering what the hell he's doing. Either he can afford what he just stashed or he can't. Was he just gonna stand guard until some cash magically fell from the sky. So after a few minutes of this crap I start searching blatantly in his face. I mean he had no right to it than any other customer, but I had cash. It took me about 5 seconds to find his stash behind the IM/War Machine 2 packs that had been there for months. What really bugged me was not only had he stashed Angela, he had stashed 2. Typically it's not part of my own code to buy up all the HTF's but I made an exception this time cuz that's so messed up & I wanted him to see the consequences of being a stingy douche. The look on his face was priceless. Rookie. You don't stash in the same general area where the product is displayed. You go to areas where most fanboys don't go, like cleaning supply or feminine hygiene products. And most of all, don't be greedy. I once had an encounter like this, except after I found the Star Wars Ep III figures (lol, right?) that he had stashed behind some Big Wheels, he attempted to take them from me. It was a fun day.
  20. I walked into the action figure aisle at a Target right as a guy was putting Sunfire (the only X-Men there) in his buggy. Much disappoint.
  21. I found Old Man Logan at Target today. The fact that BBTS won't have pre orders until 4/15/17 blows my mind.
  22. Lol! That's a shame. Most Target stores in my area won't pull stuff from the back if you ask. Sometimes newer employees will, but most won't at all. There's a guy in this area who is borderline militant about locating and scalping whatever he can find, which often results in him verbally accosting other customers or employees, so most of the store managers have implemented rules to stop their employees from pulling from the back. It really stinks.
  23. Do those Target's not have the customer facing price checkers that also allow you to punch in DPCI numbers? Regardless, they're showing up in your area, so you will probably stumble onto them eventually. That's a positive!
  24. I honestly don't remember that, but I believe you. Regardless, it seems odd when something like this happens. I suppose I'm just especially excited for this wave, so I'm paying much closer attention to it.
