Off Topic / Hasbro Marvel Toys at TRU
« on: January 30, 2007, 07:47:42 PM »
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.

I am now on my third figure  :-[

The first I didn't notice was broken in the package - snapped at the leg.
The second, while attempting to put the hammer in his arm his right arm came off in my hand!
The thrid - and I am giving up on getting a figure that isn't broken - leg broke when trying to move the leg for the first time - and I took extra care as I knew in advance that he was more than fragile!

I am going to see what toyBiz will do, but really I think I am stuck with a figure with a hot glued leg that won't move.  What a downer for this being my last experience with Marvel Legends from ToyBiz.

BTW - Spiderwoman is also very fragile.

Off Topic / Marvel Legends Modok series
« on: December 21, 2006, 09:31:51 AM »
Does anyone know if you have to buy any of the varients to complete Modok?
I know there are six figures, but there are also six varients - and I am assuming with that many varients ToyBiz might have gone the route of having to track one of them down to complete the BAF.

Currently on Toysrus.ca you can buy an Abomination Variant from the Onsalught wave - they have the other two but are currently sold out.

Here is the link http://http://www.toysrus.ca/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?storeId=10051&catalogId=10051&langId=-1&productId=95347&N=27+21026902+&nvalue=27

Off Topic / Spiderman Vs Abomination
« on: November 10, 2006, 03:31:21 PM »
Was never able to find any of these ToyBiz two packs until today

I picked it up at Toys Etc - I hate buying from them unless it is seriously marked down.
They didn't have any of the Spiderman Vs. Absorbing Man, but I am doubting I will ever find that figure.

Off Topic / New Alternators at TRU

I just saw CamShaft and Mirage at Toysrus.  I also saw Camshaft at Zellers.

Toysrus had them for $29.99, I picked up the last Mirage they had, but it looked like they were just about to restock more.

So much for their thoughts on not having chase/varient figures.  Wizard just posted images from the next wave - I don't really care for the X3 movie figs, and it sucks that the build a figure is the blob I would rather the build a figure be more obscure, as I think the Blob would sell well on his own.

Off Topic / Online store suggestions?
« on: November 08, 2006, 05:19:41 PM »
I am going to break down in the next week or two and put an order in for wave 14, and 15 of the marvel legends that Canada gets passed over on.

Does anyone have any suggestions?
The only ones that I know of  that carry the legends are
BigBadToyStore.com
&
ToyWiz.com

I am leaning towards BBTS as I have never really read anything about ToyWiz?  And the price difference is $61 Vs $79, but I would rather spend the extra $18 if I knew it was going to ensure a faster better transaction etc.  

I welcome everyones thoughts.

Toynewsi has images up of the Hasbro Marvel Legends in their packaging

http://http://i.toynewsi.com/g/index.php?mode=view&album=Hasbro%2FMarvel_Legends%2FSeries_1&pic=1.jpg&dispsize=600&start=0

I don't mind the new look of the figs - still ticked about the last two waves not being available to people outside of the states.  And I still haven't decided if I am going to keep collecting these figs.
