  1. Being on the east coast, ML figures will pop up in stores last as opposed to stores on the west coast. But I saw that Robo dropped his latest video today, where he reviewed an Avengers 60th Anniversary Black Widow that he picked up. Since I was off, I decided to do a little hunting and I hit 4 Target's. Some stores only had the Elektra DD and Jessica Drew Spider Woman, another had most of that wave, The Rose, Tarantula and Miles Morales. The two other locations only had either Hawkeye or Black Widow, so I lucked out. Love those white boxes!!!!
  2. I'm very late with this post but......... I am pleased that the saying "patience is a virtue" is quite true. I have been waiting for a sale on the 60th Anniversary X-Men Villains set and figured that I would have to wait for an Amazon sale, maybe a black Friday sale. So when Hasbro Pulse had their Power Sale days, I jumped on it and also scored the Squadron Supreme 2 PK for my Avengers collection. Happy 4th of July to the community!
  3. last week I went on a Target toy hunt for the 1st time in a year and hit 4 Targets. I should have stopped after the 1st, as it had the best selection of the 4. That Target had most of the Guardians of the Galaxy wave, in multiples. Most of the Ch'od wave was there , minus Cyclops, Corsair, Emma Frost and Fang. I was really only interested in Corsair. Not picking anything up that day, I went back to the Target that was best stocked yesterday and found that the missing wave figures had been restocked. I was able to get the only Corsair there and and came across the Astonishing Ant-Man and snagged it. Is it just me or is it due to the windowless packaging, I checked the packaging to make sure the tape hasn't been tampered with and I shake the item to hear that "paper " noise inside. Am I crazy or what???
  4. I'm pretty sure that I'm in the minority but how about a Clint Barton Goliath???!!! Would there be a way to make swappable parts, so you could have either a Hank Pym Giant Man/Goliath or a Clint Barton version. For the Haslab pricing, could this be a possibility?
  5. I like Pretty boy's proportions in the pictures versus the digital renders. He has some length that I like, but I really wish he had "prettier" face and not look like Kal-El from the 90's Death of Superman.
  6. With the gas prices getting better and the news of the single release of Mojo hitting Target stores at $41.99, I decided to go on a hunt in the "wild" for the first time in months.. I hit three stores in Northern NJ and came up empty. I knew that Amazon was going to have it as of 10/1, but for $55.99???!!! I ended up falling asleep on my couch and woke up around 4AM. I figured let me check both the Target site and Amazon for availability. Still nothing on Target but Amazon had it available and if ordered I would get next day. I figured "What the hell", put it in the cart and when I was checking out, I had points that I had forgotten about with one of my cards available to use on the purchase. Those points brought my cost under $30.00. Super happy and big boi arrived today.
  7. So here's a follow up to my post from a week ago. I contacted Hasbro Pulse customer service about my disappointment with the sloppy paint job on the 20th anniversary Captain America that I received. The response was quick and rather than give me a refund, they sent a replacement free of charge. It was unexpected but very satisfying and refreshing to have them take ownership of my issue. They suggested that I donate the messy CA to a local charity, which I plan to do. I received my new 20th CA today.
  8. I received mine as well but I am very disappointed with some sloppy paint on the left bicep, where the white paint is noticeable on the blue chainmail. There is also some blue paint rub on the belt rear the buckle. We've all been g this figure and it was a real let down to see these flaws. Where's the quality control. I hope that you had better luck than I did. I may return him.
  9. If you just type Marvel or marvel legends, that will get you to them as well.👍
  10. I received mine as well and OOH LA LA, she's stunning. She is in her more traditional colors, as she when she appeared back in the 1970's Avengers, which I prefer to the previous Family Values 3-Pack version. How they painted her eyes helps to enhance this figure's face. With the hair peaking out of her head gear, its one of their top female head sculpts.
  11. Saw a NOVA at a toy show a few weeks ago and passed due to the pricing. I went to get a beverage on the way home and saw 2 NOVA's and grabbed one.
  12. Jumped on the bandwagon as the rest of you fellas and snagged a Katy on clearance from Target. I knew I would take the plunge but I just didn't know when. Thanks Marvel Legends community!!!
  13. I'm with you. I was lucky enough to visit a Target at opening and was able to find one Jean Grey. There was a another collector already there checking out one of the five Wolverine's, but with ZERO interest in Marvel Girl. WHEW!!!! I ordered Moira on Amazon and will have her in a couple of weeks and then I'll be done for now.
  14. Target released the two pack on 10/4. Its available on the website.
  15. Agreed, My CC has a pending HP charge from today. I probably will be receiving my HC goon squad by the end of the week,
  16. So with the hoopla surrounding the Storm/Thunderbird set release , here’s my story. Shout out to GrtwhiteCustoms and or bashpics99 for alerting the community about popfindr as a resource. WAY BETTER THAN BRICKSEEK. I was able to check quantities at local targets in my area via popfindr and figured out my best attack plan. I saw that the quantity change at my closest Target and figured that I would go to the next closest one. I got up at 5:45AM and made it to that Target at 6:30AM. There were two guys in waiting then and I assumed that they were there for the 2 pack as well. But they were there for the new Funko POP releases. I was ecstatic, the store had 4 on hand and I would have 1st dibs!!!! So I chilled (not literally) and to everyone’s surprise a manager or two came to the front around 7:15 to find out what we were looking for and were going to let us know what was in stock. Me being the only one interested in ML, one mgr./employee looked at me as if I was speaking Klingon. I gave him the DCPI and he verified that they had it. When 8AM hit, we all walked in as if we were a school group on a trip. I broke off and went down the aisle where the Legends were. I found ZERO on the shelves. I was getting crazed at this point. I saw an employee two aisles over and gave him the DCPI and he told me that there were zero on the floor but he would check in the back. After he left another customer told me that he saw the set but they were gone in electronics. I almost went apoplectic! I went to electronics dept. register and saw the line of humanity that had been behind me, waiting for their turn and behind the counter was a lot of plastic: the multiple Funko POPS releases, ML 2 packs (Deadpool/Negasonic , Magneto/Professor X, Old Man Logan/Hawkeye, Storm/Thunderbird), Domino (Deadpool 2), Cable (Deadpool 2) and Wolverine (Hugh Jackman). Luckily when I went up to the counter, the manager/employee who check on the quantities for me earlier was ringing people up and told me that he would take care of me. Five minutes later, Ms. Monroe and Mr. Proudstar were mine!!! My Giant Size X-Men team is just about complete (where's that updated Banshee?) So I’m happy and a little tired and had to go to work after this chase, but as Hannibal Smith says, “ I love it when a plan comes together.”
  17. As a Premium Member as well, I ordered the set at roughly the same time you did (but 12PM Eastern). When I have shopped on HP the warehouse that items are shipped from is in PA, and the FedEx turn around time works out to be two days for me in NJ. I know that when I was checking the tracking, there was a notification that FedEx was closely monitoring the wildfires in the Northwest and they state that some service delays and disruptions can be anticipated for inbound and outbound shipments in the areas of CA, OR and WA. That's probably what's affecting your shipment. Be patient my friend.
  18. Just received my Hellfire Club set from Hasbro Pulse!!!!! Ooh la la! First thing, I want to complement Hasbro for sending the set in a fitted cardboard box, that gives further protection to the packaging. The figures themselves look terrific, with tons of accessories and the packaging is gorgeous. A tremendous set. Hopefully down the road we will see a Jason Wyngarde/Mastermind and Harry Leland. Now I'm just waiting for my Hellfire Guards (Goons) to complete this for now.
  19. I checked two in Northern NJ and spoke to Target reps who confirmed that the set won't be put out until 10/4/20. Happy shopping!!!!!
  20. Just received my confirmation from Hasbro Pulse that my Hellfire Club order is getting ready to be shipped. What's curious is that when I made the purchase, I never received a confirmation email. I took a screenshot of the order to make sure there would be no shenanigans. Happy to know that the Hellfire gang should be here by this weekend.
  21. Sorry to say but the one that I have has a R2 and L2 blast effect. I remember Jay C in his review noting that difference, so it helped you know which foot each went on.
  22. I went into one of my local Targets just for kicks and found the remnants of the Strong Guy wave to my surprise. Just Deadpool and Black Tom Cassidy on the shelf laying there. I had already ordered Maverick from HP and didn't think that I was going to be interested in any of the other figures, but Black Tom got me thinking that I can pair him up with Juggy. I also feel that Banshee will be getting that Hasbro update love soon, so I might as well prepare for that fighting Cassidy cousin's reunion.
  23. When I originally ordered the IM2020 back in April, I also received an email stating a delay. Subsequently I kept checking my order on the Walgreens website and saw that the released date would be today, 6/30/20. I got an email today that my order was being shipped. I also noticed that my credit card was charged yesterday, so orders are being processed. Hopefully you should get yours soon. Good luck!
  24. Mako, so sorry to learn of your personal loss. You and your family have my deepest sympathies.
  25. I was going to a work meeting this morning and figured I would leave early and hit a Walgreen's near where I use to work; where I had some success in the past finding their Marvel Legends exclusives. I walked in and had to reorient myself, but once I got my bearings I found the Stepford Cuckoos I had been in search of. There were three of the young ladies on the shelf. This was my second trip in as many days looking for the girls and to my surprise I came across 2 or 3 Doctor Dooms as well as other FF Super Skrull wave figures. So I know that Doom is popular but I've seen him in the wild on multiple occasions now. Call it kismet but I guess that it has been just my luck.
