Looks like Marvel now has the voting up for the favorite "fight scenes".  Still no word on what this will exactly lead to, just that it is an "upcoming Marvel Legends line".  Not sure if they will be Legends figures, box sets, Marvel Masterworks, or something different.  Vote at the linky if interested.

Well if the Onslaught one wins, they could set it up as a build a figure. On some of the piece they could put small versions of the figures like on the comic book. The over all set of toys would be the same size of toys as the new Star Wars Unleashed Battlepacks.

Finally found some of series 11 last night.  I grabbed Vengeance, Taskmaster and Ultron.  No Wonder-man or Scarlet Witch.  Left Hulkbuster IM and Thing, which is going to pegwarm worst than Prof. X and Dr. Strange.  He is one shitastic figure.

Has anybody found Ben Grimm in spacesuit from the Fantastic Four movie line? That's the last figure I want from the line, and I can't find it anywhere.

Are you still looking for one of these?  I found one for $5 CDN if you're interested, but the card is a little banged up.

Saw the newest series of ML today (12) at a collectors shop but the prices were a bit extreme ($16.99 for regs) so I passed on them all.  X-23 would be worth the buy, if only I had a hot clue who she was.  Guy had Wolverine variants as well, but at $40 that was a no go as well.  Only figure I didn't get to see was the Sasquatch :-\.  It's a good looking series, I can hardly wait for it to arrive at retail.

If anyone here has no intrest in the Marvel VS. cards that come with the figures, feel free to send them to me, as I play, and would like to have them in my deck.

The Target store I work at got in a case of the ML 11 series yesterday and I got to work a couple hours early (since I didn't want to fight trafic leaving one job to go home, to fight it again to go to 2nd job). And low and behold the Scarlet Witch was sitting on the peg hook. I nabbed her so now I have all the mutants except the Toad figure of the Marvel Legends.

Can't wait for Series 12 to start hitting the shelves.

Picked up a second set of variant Cyclops/Angel the other day.  Still no sign of 12 at regular retail though :-\

Found some more wave 11 today.  Grabbed a Wonder-man, which suprisingly WM had plenty of.  Must have been 5 or 6 on the shelves.  Now just need Scarlet Witch and the few figures from wave 12 that I want.

That dang Scarlet Witch continues to elude me.  I have three on order at Amazon but I don't really expect to actually receive them.  You're welcome to one if I get them Mikey. 

I was hoping Walmart would do it's old trick of skipping waves that other stores received, but it didn't hold out.  Walmarts up here have been miserable for toys in general and ML has been no exception.  They did wave I, IV, VI and then the Galactus wave.  I was hoping they'd skip on to XII in a timely fashion but it's not to be, it looks like ToyBiz is flooding as badly with X as they did with IX :-\  Couple that with most of the Legendary Rider series sitting on the pegs (through Christmas) and it's not going to be looking good for 12 in the post Christmas retail dead zone.

Goofy new X-Men line.

Well, I guess everybody and their brother will be after Storm, and will leave the rest to rot.

I guess these are showing up at retail already, specifically the west coast.

Yeah, Storm's about the only one I'd want.  I could see Archangel selling too though.  It's pretty similar to the earlier release, if not more pink :-\

Like many others, I think Storm is the only one I'm interested in so far.  I kept putting off the ML version, and now its long gone, so if I see this one I think I'll pick it up.  It will be interesting to see where this line will head after this, if we'll see any "movie style" figures or not.  I know most people probably don't care, but I sometimes like to pick up a "movie version" of some of the characters if they are decent figures.  If not though, it might be a good line to get some of the other X-Men figures out.  A mix of movie/comic probably wouldn't be so bad either.

Does anyone have a list/link for the newer waves of Spiderman Classics?  I've been unable to find a list on TNI so if someone could point me in a direction, it would be appreciated.  Trying to keep my 2006 list updated.  Of course if someone would update the list in the first post of this thread cough*Scott*cough, that would be ideal.
