Wow, I might pick that Spidey up. I know I said in another thread I don't want variants of Spidey figs, but I still need a good Spidey to go with my Marvel Legends. This might be it.
Mikey, may I suggest looking at page 8 of this thread... :-* Where I tell you the same thing and you sayQuoteWow, I might pick that Spidey up. I know I said in another thread I don't want variants of Spidey figs, but I still need a good Spidey to go with my Marvel Legends. This might be it.
ADC ::) :P ;)
Just get the dang thing, he is awesome :-*
Oh and Julius Marx is reporting that Wave 7 of the Spidey Classics is out now (Green Goblin, Peter Parker and more ;))
1.juggernaut
2.hawkeye
3.cable
4.wolverine(weapon x)
5.pheonix
6.deadpool
Anyone still need a Goliath? I may have a couple coming to me which I ordered off of Amazon, I'll wait and see what actually comes
Wal-Mart had Sabertooth, Mr.Fantastic, Silver Surfer, Nick Fury, and 1 Colossus no Red Skull or Blade!
Who's sitting in front of Elektra's house :-X
Now I'm sure I want the Phoenix figure :'(
What's a Doop?
Some of those figs look awesome. Hawkeye and Juggs are probably my favs right now (Love that Antman arrow).
And for some reason, I really like that Man Thing figure. For such an obscure character, I think it looks great.
I'm definitely buying the Spider man / SS pack. The Doc Ock and Kraven, I can do without, but to get the rest of them its well worth it.
The FF set I'm still undecided. I really, really want the Invisible Woman, but to get this set just for her seems extreme. I'm happy with my MF, DD, Torch and Thing figs I have now and can't warrant the price for her, a brat kid and a stupid ass robot. Maybe if I see it on clearance, I'lll pick it up.
I'm reading some old Avengers right now...She Hulk was a whiney ***** back then...
I think Kitty Pryde is the one that Wolverine had an illegal affair with, but nobody spoke of it cuz she was under 18 :-X
Wave II[/i]
Doctor Doom
Sub Mariner
The Thing
Human Torch
Doctor Doom Doombot CHASE VARIANT[/i]
Hulk with Shirt Variant
No way! And a figure for a bean is cool by me...

But you'll have to forgive Brent, he's getting senile ;)
... and I'm thinking about getting Ben Reilly's version of the costume (even though the clone saga's a real low point in the comics).
Has anyone tried arranging all the various pieces of the sentinel bases? Have they given us enough parts to build a 'floor' made out of a sentinel? Just wondering if they put that much forethought into the process. Otherwise, why so many Sentinel pieces?
This looks amazing!

Something weird about Logan's shoulders though...it almost looks like they ripped off the shoulder pads from Tiger Wolvie and repainted him Brown/Gold...bub
Although these sets are a little older, I see that Amazon has the Urban Legends ($9.98) and X-Men Legends ($14.98) box sets on sale now if anyone is interested.
X-Men Legends (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B000096QL1/ref=pd_sim_toys_1/103-5016487-2311841?v=glance&s=toys)

Yeah I am looking for Abomination as well, but up a thread in the trading section, no responces yet. :(

No, people want an arm and a leg for it. A few show up on the spawn.com trade section (toys) but same deal, sell me your soul and you can have it.
:P
Well if people really want a Black Cat figure, they can always go for the Marvel Select version.
Will keep my eyes open for Mr. Carnage for you Ben. MOMC or opener?
Maybe we'll see the Hulk figs and XMC you mentioned in box sets at the least later on. Here's hoping anyway. And does anyone else want a ML Mary Jane? That doesn't suck?
I have only picked up the "super-poseable" Spidey from the Spider-Man 2 line so far, but after reading THIS REVIEW (http://www.mwctoys.com/REVIEW_062104b.htm) over at mwctoys.com, I'm awfully tempted to get this magnet version just for fun. Some of those poses look pretty cool, the magnets must be fairly strong. Has anyone picked this figure up yet?
I'm not digging the clear Vision either. I'm glad the chases are back to being lameass variants of the regular figures.
We need a Kingpin figure.
Also, Nicklab, I noticed that you are looking for the Urban Legends 4-pack, and just thought I'd let you know that Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B000096QL0/qid=1089724506/br=1-1/ref=br_lf_t_1//104-7459297-8934341?v=glance&s=toys&n=3665851) has it in stock for $9.98, with free shipping. Probably not too bad a deal if you are still looking for it.
Scott. Red Goliath?
I don't think painting would work...it's pretty hard plastic so its not porous and probably wouldn't hold the paint
To my amazement, a TRU put out the latest wave of SMC and I managed to pick up the Black Spider-man and Rhino. Nothing new in terms of ML and I still have not seen Carnage himself, just remnants of his case. Eventually, I'll stumble across one.
Damn, now I wish I'd have picked up those two other Carnages for you guys.
They were cheap too. You might want to check your local Targets since they're clearing stuff out now. That's how I got lucky.
Only wish some other stores *cough*TRU*cough* would do the same.
Picked up Black Spidey today at TRU, nice figure, better than the first...another figure goes into the box of shame >:(

I caved and bought the new Rhino and black costume Spiderman. Bad collector! You already have the SC versions!
I saw a Spiderman Classics 2-pack tonight with Spidey and Doc Ock. Anybody else seen these?
Maybe the big change is they'll stop putting Wolverine in every damn WaveAmen to that. Maybe they'll spin off a full X-men classics line so they can get on with Marvel Classics.
mohawk Storm variantPardon my feeble old memory, but this is another thrown into the mix version aside from the regular paint chase variant? ::)
Just found Wolverine from ML 6 at the local TRU!!!
The one box set I'm somewhat concerned about is the Fantastic Four chase set. I'd really like that clear Invisible Woman, but I hope it's not too difficult to find.
I think the FF chase set was a bad idea from the beginning. Maybe if the cases were half and half it would make some sense.
Lovely. With TB's ****** case assortments and stores over-ordering, I foresee more pegwarmers to go with all the Spider-man, X-men, X2, Hulk and Spider-man 2 movie figures.
That said...on the subject of movie figures....has anyone seen that last wave of Spidey 2 figs, with the bendy Doc Ock and "pizza throwing" Spidey or whatever it is called?Those are out here Brian. I wasn't aware the first Ock was non-bendy tentacles. If so, then I've seen three versions of Ock. First, with glasses on, nonbendy; second, glasses to the side in the package, nonbendy and third, bendy tentacles with glasses on. I'll have to check my glasses off version to see if it is bendy or not.
Looks like She-Hulk won the DIamond Select Contest.
Well, I have a spare deadpool now. Emailed the guy that asked me to pick it up, only to find he already has one and doesn't need this one. He forgot to email me to tell me ::)
Hey Brent, I still might need a Juggernaut :P::)
Pretty solid line up with the exception of Deathlok (I have no idea who that is)
Possible Series 9Looks like this list from back in April was pretty accurate, I would guess 1st Appearance Wolverine will be in Series 10
1st appearance Wolverine
NightCrawler
Deathlok
Dr. Strange
War Machine
Bullseye
Pro. X (Chase)
The not hits just keep on coming >:(
almost like they are sharpening the edges.
I can't believe it! I actually found the FF Box Set with the chase version of the Invisible Woman in the middle of the afternoon in a WalMart. Sweet!
A TRU near me had two FF box sets. Both Invisible Womans were missing. ::) Go back to this same TRU recently and both sets were no longer there. I hope somebody didn't buy them.
This TRU did have a SS box set. Didn't pick it up because I was low on funds.
I can't believe it! I actually found the FF Box Set with the chase version of the Invisible Woman in the middle of the afternoon in a WalMart. Sweet!Found the same...same spot too on the top shelf. I'm going to return my regular set and pick up a Movie figures probably for Sue...otherwise I would extra Things, Franklins, Herbies, Fantastics and Dooms if people want them
There are multiple case packs for 5 and 6, I don't see why it wouldn't be the same for 7, plus the rumors are these will be found much more abundantly...I would suggest if you see 6 figures you buy them, maybe just to hold onto and trade somewhere down the line
Holy **** I want one! I havent seen them in stores at all, just the Comic Book one. :o

http://www.bigbadtoystore.com has both ML 6 Wolverine and Punisher in stock under their inventory clearance page for $5.99 each.
SOmething tells me they aren't too happy with all of those figures they recieved. Of course these were paid for long ago by what BBTS charged for Phoenix and Deadpool alone.
And Better Looking? Pfft. I have a date Friday and Saturday. Do YOU? Your still old.
I wish I could find a Captain America.

THANKS FOR NOTHING TOYBIZ
Wow, See here's the thing. Toy Biz for the last 5 or so yerars has run it's buisness as an FOB company. Now I've explained this before But let me give it a shot again. What that means in a nutshell is that we dont ship anything from HK, the reatilers who buy our products do. This is just the way this company works. So when you buy a toy biz produt the reatil chain that you get it form has shiped it to the states, or wherever, themselves. Even if we werent a FOB company we cant tell a reatiler what to buy or how much of it to buy.
I understand people's fustration with not being able to find this ( ml 7 ) assortmenst right now because some people have found this assortment and ususlly when that happens theres a mad rush to go out and find the stuff. But I would hazard a guess that Diamond dind't order a lot of prodcut, in comparison to what is on the water right now for Target, TRU, and of Course Wallmart. You should all keep in mind that its days away from October and all above mentioned retail chains are gearing up for the Holiday season. Witch means that there will be a glut of product ( ML 6&7) at retail in a month or so.
( witch by the way there's a saying in thetoy industy. There are 2 seasons...X-mass and the rest of the yerar)
I also cant help but notice that there is a lot of anger directed at toy biz for case packouts. Packouts & weighting is not an exact science and we have to make educated guesses months in advance of production for weighting so a factory can order all the supplies needed for each perticular figure i.e. comics, and plastic in the correct colors. In the case of ML 6 we have reweighted this assortments so BCW & MP are weighed much lower. And ML7 has a much more even packout now as well.
Now when it comes down to a specific comic shop reatailer they can charg what ever they want for a product, and probably will, if they think someone will pay that much. Its called supply and demand. The demand is high and the supplyis low and you have crazy Eddie coming up with crazy prices and that aint low!!! There is a reason the character on the Simpson is so funny, do you know why? it's because it's a truthfull characterization. My suggestion is to save your gas dont drive all over town until the Holidays. This way you can keep your stress level down and you wont feel the need to come to New York ( or rtm fior that matter ) and Raise Toy Biz to the ground.
We ( the staff of TB) are very proud of our lines we work very hard on them and we re always trying to make them better, and want nothing less for our products to get in front of the people who want to buy them. Were not tryint to ruin anyone's day or burn anyone and it's frustrating to read those kind of comments over and over so I hope in some small way I could help to clear up some of the passonate pleas I've read on this site recently.
-Jesse
Check your TRU's guys. I just hit one up, and they were stacked.
Kevin
Ooh! I'll take 'em!!
:) What do you want for them?
How are you guys doing for Dark Phoenixes up there, Morgbug? Surprise, I'm looking for that one too.
Woot, just met a guy in the TRU parking lot who traded me Phasing Vision for Vision and Hawkeye that I had from my case
I saw that at Fwoosh a couple of weeks ago...I think those went up the same time the FF shots did a month or two ago. I'll be getting them all except Deathlok, War Machine and maybe Bullseye
Meh, anything that was invented past 1985ish is not a "Legend" in my mind

I want an origional Ghost Rider. >:(
Wave VII - Picked one up yesterday. Still need Hawk, Apoc and Viz, though >:(The cowboy??
Nope, not the cowboy. Leather jacket, flaming head, blah, blah, blah. I'll only pick one up if the transformation version falls into my lap. I'm sure it's packed in the same case as the transforming/clear Vision, so highly doubtful ::)
Well, X-crap is definitely overdone, but there are still a few on that list I'd like to see. I didn't vote, but these are my top five:
She-Hulk

There's a killer looking Marvel Select She Hulk that will be sold at the Wizard Conventions this coming year. I believe she'll be in scale with Marvel Legends, too. I'll definitely be buying this piece at WW in Philly.
BTW, has anyone seen the Marvel Select Doctor Doom? It looks awesome! This might be one of the few Marvel Select pieces I buy.
BrentDang, I should pack some stuff up for you :-\ I doubt it will be tomorrow, but soon. Vengeance trading ;D
Your figures are on their way north tomorrow :-*
There are some very strong rumblings that starting with Series 9 there will be pack-in figures of large scale that will be included with each figure of a Wave. The two being mentioned are Galactus and a Sentinel
Case packouts would be equal and you would get a piece of the larger figure in each package to assemble a large (16") figure. Seems like a cool idea and a great way to get Galactus and the Sentinel
And you may have 3 wolverines now :-X :) Bwaaahaaahaaahaa
BTW, our TRUs are littered with Namor and Beast, no clearance in sight. Ever ::)

Duly noted suh. Only way I'll buy one as well.
Well Series 8 Marvel Legends are on eBay already. Almost 100 bucks for a Storm with Mohawk. ::) Even though they are in the Far East they are still crazy prices.
Dang, the S6 set is getting harder to find eh? Not good, not good at all. Will have to begin hunting.
My only hope is that Brent loves the bonus Weapon X he got along with Hawkeye, Vision and Apoc in the mail today! :)
I ordered the set yesterday morning, the stupidest thing is that they don't ship orders in the order they were received, someone could come in and order them in like 2 months and get them before I would
Those came from some e-tailer. Really the only one that doesn't make sense is the Vengeance figure. He's about as much of a Marvel Legend as I am
I ordered one very early last night before a lot of people found out about it...the stupid thing is that Amazon ships willy nilly and not in the order in which they received them so I'm not holding my breath
The other thing that smacks of no f'n way...they are still In Stock. No way they still have 200 of them laying around
I don't care waht anyone says, there is no way they still have them In Stock, someone messed something out. The crap thing is is that I probably won't get one even though I ordered fairly early on >:(
My order was totally obliterated from the Amazon system for Dark Phoenix. Nice job again Amazon ::)
My order was totally obliterated from the Amazon system for Dark Phoenix. Nice job again Amazon ::)
I just don't get why they do this continually. Vision, Red Skull and now this, its all BS
$15 for nothing?
I'll take it. You'd think they'd get tired of handing out gift certificates because of this line.
Now if they'd get some new LOTR or SW stuff in stock, I'd be stoked.
My case of Series 8 will be here on Christmas Eve, hope I get the variant one :)
I haven't heard anything on GG or Electro. I'd buy them both, and the Venom too if you can get it cheap. No large tongue marring his appearance.
I guess Ock has 61 POA but that includes Tentacle Joints
Sounds like Hulk Classic Abomination and Absorbing Man will be in the Spider-Man Classic Two Packs at Target, which is cool because I want an Abomination :)
At RTM, Fwoosh and AFT ;)

I guess since he's the offspring of two X-Men, he gets inclusion.
Starting to have second thoughts about that ML 8 on Amazon. I'm thinking I'm just getting caught up in the hype-- I really don't want any of those characters.
According to the new issue of Wizard, Cable was on the X-men. They listed all 43 members in order of joining. Cable was after Maggot and Marrow, but before the White Queen, so he joined (and left) somewhat recently.
Supposedly, the rumor is that there are actually chase cases out there.

Yeah, definitely lots of crap. Not surprised to see things like "The Thing" Hands, since we saw those Hulk ones everywhere when that movie was out (and still now probably, if you look in the right places.

I'm mostly looking for the Art Asylum Star Trek figures, but I still need anything on the list.
Thanks.
Found the Fantastic FOur boxed set at Wal-Mart tonight for $15. I thought it was cool, so I picked it up.
Found the Fantastic FOur boxed set at Wal-Mart tonight for $15. I thought it was cool, so I picked it up.
Thanks for ordering that box set Mikey. Great news for us and even better news for Brian, since now that I own it, the price should drop precipitously in very short order. Kind of hoping for the FF box set to drop on Amazon now though. $15 would be ok, but I'd still prefer it cheaper. Just be a pain to have three versions of the Thing I like the trench coat version best still, so I'd only have two to unload. Yippee.
Rumor Mill is stating that Wave 9 will be out next month...and there might actually be 5 waves this year :o
Went ahead and ordered series 9 from AFX.com. Might as well take a shot at the chase pieces and guarantee a Galactus and the short packed figures, if there are any.
If anyone wants to buy the spares, I'll have them (Scott too, I suspect).
Blonde Black Woman ( They Called It That Not Me)
That's not confirmed but I would think it would be doable. That's only 30-40 figures and with better shipping and no delays and less sidlines (no X-men or Hulk Classics) I think it could be possible
We'll know more next month I guess :)
Oh, and those rumored 12 and 13 Waves have shown up on a couple more etailers order lists...might be something to them:
Late 2005 - Series 12 - Marvel's "Dark Ages" Series

Wooohooo!
Got a shipping notice from Amazon, all four variants are on their way :)
As with all things, I'm out of room to display stuff, so Apocalypse and Hawkeye are sitting in ziplock baggies right now.
I agree Brian, I might replace Series II Torch with the Torch on top there and the Sue and ditch the box set all together.
New Galactus pic!
http://afigures.com/g/?mode=view&album=Marvel%2FML9&pic=10.jpg&dispsize=800&start=0
I thought I saw two Venoms in one of those shots actually, the original one with the same base (on the right hand side), and then a second one that was on the left hand shelf, just to the left of the Spidey with the big white balls or egg-like contraptions. "House eggin' Spidey" if you will. Maybe I didn't see it correctly though, it looked like the same Venom with some sort of gun contraption strapped on.
Just curious if any of you know which figures are all contained in the "Best Of" cases that are currently shipping (or have shipped) to Wal-Mart. I think it is only at Wal-Mart anyways. I thought that Human Torch and Thing were both in that case, but wasn't sure. I've always wanted to pick up a Torch figure (my fave of the Fan 4), and have been a fan of Thing as well. I thought about waiting for the box set or movie figures, but I think I'd want a comic accurate (and in Torch's case, fully "flamed on") version as well. I might end up waiting yet, but was just curious if anyone had an idea of the case breakout of that wave. I thought I had seen Captain America, Thing, and Torch, although I passed at that time since I didn't really have the money for it. Anyways, long story short, anyone have any idea of the breakdown for that "Best Of" case or whatever it is called?
Wooohooo!
Got a shipping notice from Amazon, all four variants are on their way :)
GOt all of them on Friday! Talk about fast.
Not really sure I want a Blonde Widow...its up for grabs I guess. Same goes for Doombot...

There you go, he got them all (just think Scott's preoccupied for the next while, so I'm taking the liberty of answering for him)
Looks like Series 9 (http://www.toynewsi.com/index.php?catid=23&itemid=6038) has now hit in the Philippines. Shouldn't be too long now. There are some loose pics of the wave (and Galactus) at the above linky.
Also got my Black Widow figure in the box as well, though I'd seen it previously in stores. A nice figure but all the Marvel women are starting to look similar. I'm a little disturbed about the looseness in the hip joints, but Mikey and I can talk about that privately. :P
My wife never believed it either, but at least she accepts the GH stuff on that basis.
You should of see my wife's reaction when two of them showed up at my house, Brian. Each came in a seperate box, each of which was huge. I think her exact words were "Where the **** are all these boxes coming from?" Between these, Brent's package, Ben's package, Brent's side deal package, and various ebay and online store packages, it was quite a week at the Davidson household a couple of weeks ago, for me at least.
She's less keen on the ML side. It's not Star Wars, she says. I tell her next to SW, comic books and GIJoe were my childhood. And she's lucky GIJoe isn't in my plans in the near foreseeable future. It usually ends there, until the next character comes into the house.
Honestly my wife is pretty cool with my hobby. There are worse things I could be blowing money on.

This is first appearance spiderman so it should be rather different from ASM298 spiderman (or whenever McFarlane started drawing him). Or am I interpreting first appearance to be origin spiderman incorrectly?
A couple pics have shown up online now, detailing the "Sentinel" and "Legendary Riders" series, or 10 and 11, however you like to call them. Some are just drawings at this point, and the pictures aren't the largest, but there's at least a clue to what we're expecting. I'm looking forward to the Sentinel Series, they look nice. Too bad they had to hit during all of this ROTS madness this year :).

I made a freak find yesterday. Found some ML 6 of all things, including brown Cable and the reissue of maskless Wolverine. I actually left a Deadpool behind.
The latest ToyFare has lots of Series 10 pics I guess. Plus word that there is an International Box set with Spidey, a new Lizard, a new Rhino and Vulture. I don't have my issue yet but I will soon

Without a doubt, one of my favorite weekends of the year :)
Well, our local Wal-Mart had restocked with some of ML8, of course after I already paid more on Amazon, but that's just how things work I guess. They had 3 Caps, 2 Iron Mans (Iron Men?), 2 Ice Mans, 1 Doc Ock, 1 Man Thing, and 1 Nick Fury that was there previously. I also managed to pick up a SMC Scorpion, which had been hanging there over the weekend, but I finally decided to pick it up.
The one problem I have with this series? These damned Galactus parts are going to make this series the death of me. If they start putting unique parts for Galactus in with the chase figures, I'm gonna lose it on Toy Biz.
I'll let Brian or Scott address which spidey is best, there are so many out there. ::) Venom I prefer the one from the Sinister Six box set. To answer you and Kevin at the same time, I think the Venom figure is identical in the boxed set as the regular release from last fall.
Check here for Carnage Kev

::)Typo smart ass, I meant Carnage. Spawn of Venom, whatever. It's a repaint, plain and simple. Less black and more distinct pattern. So it's a new figure, but it's not a new figure. Trust me, I wish it was new. Or newer.
I didn't like that Venom figure with the exposed face. Must be getting gentle in my old age.
Man, I won a green for Hulk $20 and then found one at Kmart the next day... :-\
She-Hulk, must make She-Hulk. Marvel Select convention exclusive coming, but they can do better than that for the rest of us.
Galactus is a bit of a Python-esque parody at the moment, but he's getting there. :)
I want the bullseye though, so don't need that part. Well, I need it, but I want the figure too ::)
On another note anyone find Hulk Buster Iron Man? I need it.

You need Bullseye? We should talk. I have one I don't need (sans galactis parts).

I scored a Mysterio at Wal-Mart tonight. Thankfully, his dome is slightly smaller, so it doesn't look too bad now. Still no FF movie figures. :(

Well it looks like the hunt is on. I hope they hit the east coast soon.
Congrats on the Mysterio find Ben, might have to check our Wal-Marts again this week, since you saw it over in Iowa. How do you like the figure? Glad to hear the dome isn't too ginormous.
So I managed to complete my Galactus last night when I found Hulk and the left arm. The thing is, I really only want the left arm and not the Hulk (I try not to get multiple figures of the same character). Is anyone just collecting the figures they want and not worrying about having Galactus? If so, does anyone want the Hulk? I'd sell him for $5 or trade him for a basic SW figure. Let me know.
I finally bought a green Hulk last night. It was late, I went to WalMart, and there was a case of ML9 just sitting there. The kind lady with the mustache in the toy department was very obliging and opened it up for me. And you know what? I left the Bullseye. I just cannot care about that figure.I felt the same way after buying him. Bullseye was a must do but the variant was a bit lame

What are the variants for 10 again? Cyclops, Angel and Black Panther?
From what I remember of the Marvel Legends 10 the Cyclops and Archangel that are the regular figures are how they appeared first in X-Men #1, but the Varriants are how the appeared in X-Factor #1.
I hit up another KB today, and they got another case of Hulk Classics but this time Joe Fixit was there so i picked him up finally.
Dang, almost forgot. I need to pick up the Marvel Select She Hulk tomorrow in Philly! ;)

Whole lot of good those posts did me today. I just got back from Philly a little while ago. However, I'm thinking of going to Wizard World in Chicago and may be able to help up some of the She Hulk fans there.
Why is Nightcrawler playing footsie with Cyclops? :o
15 New Pegs of Fantastic Four figures this morning at Wally World...the pegs were full...Zero Invisible Women
I could not believe it >:(
I just scored my second IW at Target today, this time it was the phasing version. I feel bad for you guys- a figure this shortpacked and popular has to be an absolute bear to find.
We're also finally getting inundated with ML9. I found two more Bullseye variants lately, still can't get my hands on a green Hulk. Not that I'd buy it, I just want to see one.
ML variants are an area I dare not tread.
To be honest, I've been scared to pick up any Marvel Comics these days because I found them so addicting back in highschool. I spend enough $$ on SW, so so far I've managed to stay away from other lines.
The large figure builder concept is certainly cool. But I also feel somewhat put upon by that situation. I don't think I would've bought Dr. Strange if he didn't have part of Galactus in the blister with him.
I have the phasing version of the Invisible Woman would like to get the other 2.
I wish everyone was getting that case ratio. It would make finding Sue much easier.Would make sense, wouldn't it? Kids could go out, but a whole Fantastic Four and be done right there and then. Kill the secondary market. Nah, that would never fly. no buzz if the kids are all happy and collectors aren't screaming for a hard to find figure ::)
As much as I dislike the concept of chase figures, I know that it helps keep the interest going strong. Case in point. McFarlane saw a tremendous upsurge in the popularity of their Sports Picks line. Much of the interest that drove that line was the hunt for chase figures. Initially McFarlane would offer zero or one chase figures per case. As the line got hotter the number of chases in a 12 piece case went as high as four per case. But around the time that started to happen, interest started to wane in the line. Now McFarlane is going back to fewer chases.
I think it's seven parts. 2 arms, 2 legs, chest, torso, and head.
Latest issue of Toyfare is indicating 7 pieces for Sentinel, just to add to the confusion.
Oh, and I still need a Mysterio if anyone stumbles across one. :-\ And an Abomination if the two packs ever come to retail.

I have an extra Mysterio if you want it, Brent. I can get those two 12" figures you asked me about too.
Wow, more than a couple of Dazzler requests. Now, was it because she was a cool character or is this because she was hot :P
Since when is Apocalypse as big as Galactus?
Iron Fist looks awesome, but i am not feeling Apocalypse as a build-a-figre. I would have prefered a new character we have not gotten yet.
All I can say is there better be a Kingpin in wave 13
QuoteAll I can say is there better be a Kingpin in wave 13
No doubt. I agree totally.
I really like the S6 Goblin and am very pleased with it. Having Black Cat and Electro in the box made it worthwhile though. Actually I think that's the Venom I decided to keep as well and it was the only Kraven I picked up (delaying interminably paid off for once). I do think the new Goblin looks cool though, but I doubt I'll worry too much about it.
All I can say is there better be a Kingpin in wave 13 >:(
But, uh, where is the Kingpin? >:(
I also hope they don't cheap out and try to repaint Sasquatch white in order to pass that figure off as the Wendigo.
Hmm, those would be a bit disappointing. Series 12 would substantially bite, imo. Series 13 there is better but why BlackHeart? And why Abomination? Isn't he supposed to be coming out in the two packs (are those still coming? I do need an abomination).
Saw remnants of the SMC Beetle Wave at TRU tonight
Seems like an odd figure to put out before the likes of Kingpin, Quicksilver, Psylocke, Havok, Kitty Pryde, etc.Ayup.
It looks like someone has posted the cover/ToyFare pics of X-23 at this link (http://members.fortunecity.com/mickfoley1/x23.htm), at least for now. If anyone is interested.
ToynewsI.com has some pics up of upcoming Legends variants (Logan and Wonderman), as well as the X-23 pic that has already been posted. You can check them out HERE (http://afigures.com/g/?mode=album&album=Marvel%2FMLX23&dispsize=800&start=0).
I got the chance to see a "Days Of Future Past" Wolverine from Marvel Select out at Wizard World in Chicago, and let me tell you...Aren't they changing the Select Scale, too? Making it 6" instead of 7"?
It's WAY better than the one that Toy Biz is offering in this Legendary Riders assortment. Plus it comes with an adult Kate Pryde. Save your money and don't buy the Marvel Legends version, get the Select.
I thought I remember reading somewhere starting with Thanos, the scale was changing and the Select would be for characters you wouldn't ever see in the Legends line (like Thanos and The Watcher)

The other thing I don't understand is the pegs and pegs of Spider-Man II figures I see at TRU. Especially with the Classics line still out there.
Venom. Again? Before Kingpin >:( >:( >:(
Series 12 is mostly a miss.
Manwolf I'll pick up. It was one of my favorite issues of Amazing Spiderman early on. I read the story hundreds of times. Sure hope it's accurate to the old version (I'm sure there's a new version, or are we seeing hype for the Spiderman 3 movie?).
I will get Manwolf, but why another venom?
I get why they're doing it, because it will sell to the kids, kids love venom cough*Kevin*cough.:P
I'm losing faith that ML and the Spidey line will make it past 2006
I just got my first Marvel Legends figure, Proffeser X.
