    Truly sucks, and ive noticed k-mart is having a sale on the new 3.75 Spideys and Iron Man 2 action figure range, FOR $8 , not a good sign.

    It seems though that Toyworlds are attempting to keep stock and get in some new things. Was there on sunday, and they said wave 8 any day now.

    How so is the dream squashed? Are you disappointed with the fact Madrox is that ol' Black Spidey body again? It means I have no interest in him at least...

    I would be keen on a Multiple Man in his MUA2 costume though. It's casual but it's still got the motif.

    Well I have never seen this fig here and if stores are going to stop carying them then I may never.

    I prefer that costume too, that is what he wears in X factor these days aswell but with a trench coat too, so they would definitely have to include the trenchcoat.

    Has anyone regretted their decision buying this line? With Legends now definitely coming back in 2012 anyone scared this line will be forgotten or overshadowed?

    There's still time left to see the wave he's from though. It's only barely showing up in the U.S. as it is.

    As for regretting the line? I can't say I do. This scale is my scale of choice.

    I don't think the line will be forgotten either. By all accounts (and distribution aside) Hasbro seems to have faith in it. The return of ML will probably still be a fairly limited one I imagine, with MU continuing as the (relatively) cheaper option.



    **Edit**

    Here's an interesting thread at Marvelous News relating to figure scarcity. Not any new news, just an interesting insight I think.

    hmmm I think you have valid points but at the end of the day we are all just guessing.
    This unknown has left me a little bit hesitant to plunge head first into collecting this line in the fear that Legends will be back and once again I will be able to buy figs in a scale that matches everything else I have already got instead of starting again.
    I know of ppl who will be ticked off if this does happens though, as some of you would too. We are talking of the ppl who got rid of their legends line collection and started again with universe, I would be very angry indeed.
    in all honesty though I still haven't bought any despite trying too, all I can find is green goblins and hand ninjas mostly, none of the figures I really want.
    I had a look at ebay but prices are ridiculous on there.

    I highly doubt Legends will ever be back. F*** they even had most of the same ones at this years SDCC as last year, and Im pretty sure the year before that, its a dying line and Hasbro are to cheap to truly continue it imo.

    Have you checked out bigbadtoystore?

    http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/p...05&mode=retail

    Thats the wave with Mardox, Ghost Rider etc. Its $78.90 AUS for the whole set, and shipping is $28.95 AUS

    Its what I am deciding will be the best option.
