That's correct, and I must say, the bearded Sentry is a ton better than the regular

Also, I've seen over at the Fwoosh that there are bright yellow and mustard yellow variants of both Sentrys currently shipping

I found the two packs last night at Wally, they did not have the Variant Cap/Skull (which I sorely desire) or DD/Kingpin (meh)  If anyone comes across an extra Cap/Strucker pack, I'd be interested.

The Cap is phenomenal and  I also think this new Hulk may be one of the best Legends figures yet.

I am struck by how fleshed out my Legends shelves are getting!  I also opened my Select Watcher last night and put him on top with the other big guys.  It looks great!

Bearded Sentry does look much cooler.  I opened the regular so far, but no the variant.  I've got to read the comic that came with him just to catch up on who the character is.

I also put together most of Giant Man.  Thing is he looks like some kind of an amputee without his right hand at the moment.  Gotta find Thor!

You don't have the BAF Apocalypse Scott?  That seemed strangely absent from those pics.  But that is definitely a very good ML collection!

Yeah I passed on pretty much all of Wave XII, only picked up Sasquatch and Iron Fist.  No love for Apoc either since the regular release fits the bill just fine for me.  Same goes for the upcoming Onslaught and Mojo.  Don't really care for either of them.  MODOK though, I'll be all over him and lucky for me, I like all the figures in that wave

I still have hopes they'll do Thanos in the larger scale.  That's the Select Thanos, isn't it Scott? 

Locally I saw evidence of the Spider-Hulk/Hobgoblin/Hydroman wave tonight.  None of the figures I wanted are there, but that line is usually carried by three retailers, so I'll see them in time. 

I also sprung for the Strucker/Cap pack on ebay.  $20 didn't seem horrible, since those two packs if they reach regular retail here will probably be $20-25 or more anyway.  I have the rest of them on order through a local retailer, but asked only for the Strucker version and another guy was in line ahead of me, so I'd be waiting for him to say nay. 

Scott, you need more Daredevil figures :P

I stopped by WM yesterday and picked up the Cap vs Red Skull (regular) Face Off pack.  I already got the variant version, but I've heard really good things about that version of Cap (I only have the ML8 "Ultimate" version) and I never saw the first Red Skull, so I figured I would pick this one up.  Just of note - I got the last Cap pack they had (variant or otherwise), and I think there was 2-3 of the variant Daredevil/Kingpin pack, and several of the Hulk and Leader packs.  As far as basic figures - after quite some time of just having a single AOA Sabretooth, they must have found a little more stock as there was 1 each of Havok, Warbird, Thor, and AOA Sabretooth.  Since I was already grabbing the 2 pack, the wife didn't think I needed Warbird too (or another "girl figure" :P).  Otherwise, the Masterworks and Young Avengers/Monsters packs seem to be sitting.

Scott, how does the 2-pack Hulk compare to the other Hulks?  He looks a lot bigger than the rest.

Much, much bigger than series 1.  Just picked it up, really only for Leader, but I think it's going to replace my series Hulk as the one I display.

According to the Fwoosh forums, ML13 has been spotted in the US now - in a Chicago TRU to be exact.  The poster put up some pics of his finds as well, so it looks legit.  Although I could definitely use a break in the spending, I hope these start showing up here soon too - really looking forward to that Green Goblin figure.  The Spidey shelf seems incomplete without one :).

Just looking at the stores around here, Legends have pretty much dried up.  Wal-Mart doesn't have a single figure on the pegs, aside from the YA/Monsters box sets and a crapload of Hulk/Leader Face Off packs.  Target has a single Logan from the Riders series that has been there for months, and actually only has one pegs for Legends now and two for the X-Men line.  Last time I visited TRU they just had a couple of figures from the Riders series.  Things are pretty picked over out there.

Minnesota is just as bad. Wal-Marts around here got the one wave of Giant Man figures, Face Off sets, YA & Monsters sets, and the Cheepo knock off statues and once the Face Off & Giant Man stuff was gone the displays were taken down and everything else was moved to a back end cap to die a slow death.

Between Marvel Legends, Stargate, & Star Wars my wallet is so thin it isn't even funny. If I come home with more toys in the next month my wife is going to cut me off in more ways than one. :'(
I have been told to go to hell; well at least I will know everyone there!

ML13 has shown up at some Canadian TRUs, though not mine yet.  Mine decided to dump a couple more cases of X-23 into bins.  Been a long stretch between series' now. 

After seeing Scott's pics I decided to grab a Watcher.  I'd been expecting him to be a BAF somewhere along the line, but I guess this will suffice nicely enough. 

Still no sign of Hydro-man (does he shoot water, btw?) and I can't yet bring myself to buy SPider-Hulk ($12.99 and taxes might be part of the problem). 

And in other news, the Strucker 2-pack I bought off ebay isn't coming.  The seller managed to crush the figures, breaking Cap in the process ::)  Guess I'm going back to ebay again.
