Well, I do think Hasbro has effectively killed this line off. Toybiz may have only released about 2 waves per year themselves, but they were of good quality, and findable. Even the chase figures could be found at retail. Now, it takes quite a bit to find these. Hasbro has also chosen to use the Legends line to promote the movies and have done poorly with the standard lines. Now, it looks like at some point this year, there are going to be 2-3 exclusive waves? I think I'm done with these for the most part.
-
it does look like hasbro has killed these off. at sdcc they revealed their 3 and 3/4 line. they said they were looking for a way to keep the line going but after this year there would be no more build-a-figures for the time being. i still plan on getting the ones coming out for the rest of the year.
-
I may or may not. I'm just not thrilled with Hasbro's approach to these...higher prices, lower standards, poorer products. I may get the 3 3/4" line, depending on how they look when I see them in hand.
-
Guys I havent seen any of these for awhile.
-
yup same here, ...thank goodness..lol
-
I'm not sure this was entirely Hasbro's fault. I thinks sales were falling before Hasbro got the license. I was always seeing lots of pegwarmers. I think the problem for me was the lack of focus for the line. It seemed to me they never knew what area of the Marvel Universe they should spotlight and made more obscure costumes for the most popular characters while filling outeach wave with third tier characters.
-
Well they never filled pegs here. very limited runs indeed with next to no warning when waves were incoming...relied a lot on overseas to obtain what i currently have. (ta Shawn and Pat) but now i'm going to move on from them....
-
if anyone is still collecting these i read on marvelousnews that the target exclusive red hulk wave is showing up.
-
anyone want mine? trading if anyone wants any? I just can't see me getting back into this line....
-
I am seeing a few of these on clearance at my walmarts. The Human Torch, White witch, banshee and there is this unleashed 12inch Green Goblin that looks pretty cool. It really is a shame this line is not being stocked like it used to be. I sure do prefer Marvel to DC characters.
-

which ones do u have and r they carded or loose?
-
All loose and mainly Toybiz ones..What are you after? Send us a PM and i'll check for you...
-
picked up spidey, both wolverines, union jack, spiral, and adam warlock from the red hulk wave. only need silver savage now. only 2 negatives, these r now $15 a piece and adam warlock who is supposed to be gold is caucasian.
-
I saw the Ares Wal-Mart Exclusive wave the other day, and consider me underwhelmed. Another Spiderman. Another Iron Man. A repainted Ultimate Iron Man. Another Vision? Crossbones and Kang were a nice addition to the villain line up, but the rest were useless. I passed on them all. By the way, the Spider-Man has 2 different poses in the packaging, so be on the lookout for that if you're into that sort of thing.
-
i got the toyfair fans choice aoa sunfire. very nice. he is a translucent yellow instead of the plain yellow.
-
I'm still struggling with these. I did want that AOA Sunfire, and it sounds better than it looks online, it seems. I also want the Adam Warlock, and a few others out there right now, but $11-$15 for one figure is over the line. I did see the Ares wave at Wal-Mart, and was not at all impressed with any of them.
-
Anyone want to trade two ML loose Figs i have for one SW fig that i am after? Also have completed Galactus and Sentinel too...plmk via pm
Cheers

if anyone is still collecting these, target has the red hulk wave on clearance for $7. also if anyone sees the walmart exclusive nemesis wave let me know. thanks.
-
I'll let you know if I find any of the Nemesis wave.
-
If anyone has a sentinel or twelve, they want to get rid of, I can trade pretty well for them or buy a little cheap, :)

I think Hasbro might be bringing these back for MU line, that's the rumor anyways.

i have one Narc, want to trade?.... ;D
-
wait, are you in australia? Wouldn't shipping kill our trade?
:) My pal segnett bought some stuff from Oz once, seems like it was a super slow trade that was kind of pricy.
But I do have the time, ;)
-
Shipping kills any trade Narc but if you think about it,it would cost me the same to send to you and you to me . I 'd only ask a couple of SW Legacy 5 or 6 carded figures or so in return..... ;)...lmk mate...
Oh and Tamer can vouch mr my "tardiness" in getting stuff to you over there in the Usa......lol.... ;D ;)...i'd be super quick as the Posties would allow....

-
Aussie trades are top notch, if only the postal service was as good.
-
thank u for the recommendation Shawn...... :D

Still want the Sentinel?
-
I will keep it in mind, I want more sentinels, but I need to figure out how much I want them, you know, :)

What he's saying is that he's gotta wait on either the weekend so he can go pick up more empty beer-cans for recycling or for something he's got on ebay to sell for a LOT so he can skim some of the proceeds before his wife sees them...
;D

I saw these and thought they were interesting.
I had a hard time not getting the painted face Punisher. He has been a favorite of the marvel characters, even if they cant make up their minds about history and origins for more than a few years.
-
Hey Shawn, if you see that yellow Daredevil again, would you please snag me one? I'd appreciate it!

Will do Pat. I bet I get down there again this week. I will get one if I see it.
-
I think yellow daredevil is the normal one, lol, we have like ten of them, but not the other one.
-
There seemed to be about an equal number of each that I saw. Let me know if you want red Pat, otherwise I plan on getting yellow when I go again.

Definitely willing to negotiate on these! They were one of the best toy lines ever made!
Hasbro killed them so bad. Made me pretty sad, but then, they started vastly improving Star Wars figures, so I came back to those :)
