Off Topic / Hasbro Marvel Toys at TRU

Saw a bunch of them today - including the Ghost Rider movie toys.
They had some of the new Marvel Legends, actually when I say some I mean 2 - Planet Hulk and Movie Beast.
I picked up Planet Hulk as I have always been a Hulk comic fan, Movie beast I really don't care about - the movie sucked, and I really don't need a Kelsey Grammer action figure.
The case pack must be really out of wack as they had about 15 hulks and about 20 beast figures. I thought it was suppose to be 2 of every figure per case with no varients. If that is the break down, not very many people want the build a figure.
The Ghost Rider toys looked OK, but I probably won't pick any of these up, unless the movie is amazing. And I have never really been a fan of Nicholas Cage, so an action figure based on his looks is a pass as well. The spider-man figures are a yawn - all of them repaints, and the actuall spiderman figures that I would want to purchase have T-Crotches on them, again I will pass.
So far Hasbro isn't hitting a home run with these figures, I hope that means there are too busy dedicating all of their time to making the anniversary Joe set the best it could possibly be.
