  1.  

    I'm thinking we will not be getting another Spider-Man Wave this year. I think the Black Panther Wave will be the December arrival this year.

    Any idea what the remaining waves are for the year?

    The Thor/Valkyrie 2 pack will probably be the last release of the year officially. The Black Panther Wave will technically be a 2018 release probably while showing up late November or December.

     

    The way Walmart has clearanced out the Spider-Man waves and not included them on their new toy reset makes me think we won't get that Lizard wave this year at all. I hope I'm wrong though and we do get it this year.

  2. Out of curiosity, anyone that managed to get their A-Force set on TRU.com what was it going for? I'm hesitant to go in on the BBTS pre-order, it's $180 and they want a (non-refundable) down payment.

     

    Also, has there been confirmation that this will be in the store after the convention, on the actual shelves? I thought that was true, but I couldn't find anything to support it.

    $119.99

    After tax ($10) and next day shipping ($20) came to $150.

    I haven't actually seen anything about it showing up in stores, but that is the assumption.

  3. I agree wholeheartedly that the MCU save the ML line, whether people agree or not, it's fact. However that was mainly an excuse to sell the line to stores. ML is a comic book line. The movie figures are only included to sell to them. Look at the Spider-man and X-men lines. Except when there is a movie out like Homecoming they are primarily comic line. The avengers (including Cap, Thor, Ant-man, Strange, Gotg) are mostly made up of comic figures to with a few MCU figure to sell to store and MCU collectors. It's only just this year they decided to include MCU figures in every wave, which many people complain about but that again something we most deal with if we want the line to survive.

     

    Again, I'm not saying that the MCU don't have a place in ML, but in order for a line to sell with MCU figures, they need to be a mixture of comic figure and MCU figurs.

    Well put.
  4. I know some people really like Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) figures and there are others who see any MCU figure as "taking a slot" from a comic style Marvel Legends figure.

     

    Personally I love both styles and seeing my two collections grow as new waves are revealed.

     

    With the release of the first "Iron Man" film in 2008, we are now coming up on the 10th Anniversary of the Marvel Cinematic Universe in 2018. While I'm sure that we will see a wave or two dedicated to "Avengers Infinity War", I think the 10th Anniversary also allows Hasbro a chance to celebrate the films that built the universe to where it is now.

     

    Would anyone else be interested in a sort of MCU 10th Anniversary line?

     

    I would love to see two waves as follows:

     

    Wave 1

    - Captain America "rescue costume" from "The First Avenger"

    - Iron Man MK VII from "The Avengers"

    - Black Widow in S.H.I.E.L.D. uniform from "Iron Man 2"

    - Ronan the Accuser

    - Vision

    - Hawkeye in coat from "Avengers: Age of Ultron"

    - BAF Red Skull in long black coat

     

    Wave 2

    - Mandarin (unproduced) from "Iron Man 3"

    - Chitauri soldier from "The Avengers"

    - Quicksilver from "Avengers: Age of Ultron"

    - Scarlet Witch from "Avengers: Age of Ultron"

    - Thor with armored sleeves from "The Dark World"

    - Falcon from "Winter Soldier"

    - BAF Crossbones from "Civil War"

    Hell yeah! I would throw in a YellowJacket figure somewhere.
  5. I'm one that prefers movie figures, but enjoy quite a bit of the comic figures. It is my belief that movie figures/movie themed waves are what truly saved (maybe not the best choice of word; elevated) the 6" line. I think having movie based figures draws in a lot of sales from both kids and collectors alike. I know these are created for collectors too, but I still think sales for kids is the bulk of sales. I truly don't think the line would be what it is today without movie figures. When was the last time you saw a movie figure warming the pegs (as I wrote that I remembered the Doctor Strange Wave; but the regular movie version wasn't as abundant as the astral form or Mordo who they probably should not have made).
