But it will be here next week.

I really started getting into Inhumans lately and this set comes with Black Bolt and Medusa which are on the team. So I had to get it. The other figs are good too

Be careful when playing with them - the QC's awful on these, and a lot of guys over at Fwoosh have had breakage issues. Personally, whilst Starlord, Blastaar and Gladiator were perfect, Black Bolt had a screwed up neck joint, and Medusa's wrists, shoulders & torso joints were basically fused together and her ankle pegs snapped as soon as I moved them (not to mention the sloppiest paintjob I've ever seen). I managed to fix them, but it's incredibly frustrating to have to do that, especially after spending a huge amount of money.

Well we'll see... they seemed fine in the video reviews I watched.

I appreciate the warning. But people on forums bitched a lot about the Game of Thrones funko figures and I had no issues with those.

it is scheduled to arrive today but I may not have time to open it up and inspect anything until later.

*Discogod* · 08-23-2014, 03:20 AM

Yeah, you might be lucky - it seems only a small percentage are having major issues. It doesn't help that the plastic used for most of the figures is that horrible, rubbery plastic used on the GOTG wave - that seems much more susceptible to tearing and getting stuck.

*Zulithe* · 09-01-2014, 11:53 AM

right now amazon has star lord for 12.21

http://www.amazon.com/Marvel-Guardia...dp/B00IJZPZKS/

and iron man for $11 and change

http://www.amazon.com/Marvel-Guardia...dp/B00IJZPZSU/

I think they are both great figures even if they aren't as hard to find as some others in the wave.

*snake* · 09-01-2014, 01:31 PM

The only Walgreens is about an hour away from where I live. I'll check next week though.

*snake* · 09-13-2014, 10:34 PM

I was at Olies today and I spotted some of the Arnim Zola/Terrax wave. I didn't pick up any becuase I'm saving up for NYCC next month.

*Zulithe* · 09-14-2014, 05:59 AM

OoOOO Cool you're going to NYCC. Hope you see lots of cool stuff, including the new toys

Yup. I'll probably buy a few Marvel Universe figs if I can find them.

*snake* · 09-21-2014, 10:27 PM

Anyone here?

*Zulithe* · 09-26-2014, 02:02 AM

Yes. the problem is there isn't much coming out in Marvel Legends right now. I think the next waves aren't even till January?

*Discogod* · 09-26-2014, 10:31 AM

There's the Target 3-pack, due in a few weeks, plus the first Avengers wave should hit before Xmas.

A UK site has the 3-pack on sale, bizarrely - I don't know where they got the stock from (and at such a good price), since no other online store has them even for preorder. Ordered myself a set last night, should be here tomorrow. Only really want Carol & Radioactive Man, but I'm sure I'll find some use for Cap...

*snake* · 09-26-2014, 04:40 PM

I got Agent Venom!!! Such a great figure!

Leolead · 09-26-2014, 05:35 PM

Well I'm not gonna be interested in the AOU Marvel legends line, if Hasbro's gonna be mixing comic figures in the waves again.

You're not into the comic figures? Aren't they the whole point of Marvel Legends?

I agree. Comic figures are the best.

*Discogod* · 09-27-2014, 09:33 AM

Speaking of comic figures, this arrived this morning:

Cap went straight into the fodder box, but Carol & RM are great figures. That female body was made for Ms. Marvel, and RM looks great all translucent and gummi-like. Just repainted Carol, as soon as the GITD paint I ordered arrives I'm going to get cracking on Chen.

*Zulithe* · 09-27-2014, 11:35 AM

Great. I'll definitely buy that when I can find one at retail price. Though I'm honestly not too excited about any of them...

I'm more interested in the Marvel Now! Captain Marvel coming out next year.

Btw, I am *NOT* looking forward to hunting for new ML waves again... it's always a pain in the butt. I really hope amazon puts them for pre-order like they did the GotG wave... I am so, so glad I was able to get all those online and did not have to search ANYWHERE for them. That is how it should be.

*snake* · 09-28-2014, 08:22 PM

Hopefully I can get a Magneto for Christmas this year. Him or Stryfe.

TonySiegel · 10-13-2014, 01:37 PM

I'm trying to locate Nova and Gamora from the GOTG wave...

Comic con vendors were trying to rip me...

any tips?

i haven't seen restocks of GotG in stores for several weeks... I'm not sure if they are just selling like hotcakes, being underordered or simply underproduced. I'm lucky and got them super early on, but if I had to resort to retail to buy them? I've seen rocket and nova on the shelf like... twice. Hell I barely even see Iron Man on the shelf and he's supposedly the pegwarmer.

I'm starting to see a lot of them turn up on ebay for fairly reasonable prices though. I'd look on craigslist, ebay and other action figure forums that have a B/S/T section.
