lol, i agree. i remember when everyone was looking hard for the last waves Thor and Cap figures. And they were paying up to $20 each for them on preorder. i waited just a week after they were out and i found every one of them for $7 The stores around me never got that wave of figures... Im just hoping that one of my stops yields results. Picked up the 3 3 packs from TRU today. They were at "clearance" prices of $15.98 I have to check my TRU for those 3-packs I have been waiting for a lower price

Picked up Cap from Wal-Mart for my son the other day. He's only 2 and lost him within 5 minutes of getting him home. Just found him today after spending the last 3 days looking. He thanked me by losing his Wolverine. Damn I miss Marvel Legends! They'd be harder for him to lose!

My most recent string of purchases online(mainly because I was late to the game but also because the stores around me haven't stocked anything in months):
$14.99- Warpath Ms Marvel Red Ms Marvel Black Black Panther
$12.99 - Jean Grey
$11.99 - Hulk/Cyclops Secret Wars 2 pack
$6.99 - Red Hulk Electro Thing Iron Fist
Add these to the case of the new wave(Archangel, Juggs) waiting for me at my Dad's house makes me a happy camper!

I haven't seen any of the new waves show up anywhere. I'm debating about just ordering them off a website so I am guaranteed to have them and not pay outrageous prices on ebay like there are for Warpath, Jean Grey, and Vision.
Finally found the Dr. Doom/absorbing man Comic pack today.

I have seen one place with the Hammer file wave, and all they had was Spiderman, Iron Man Extremis and Luke Cage.

I'm trying to find someone going to SDCC to get me the exclusive marvel universe figures. I don't want to pay the prices on eBay for the 3 they'll have, I mean people have the galactus listed at 90-100 which is outrageous!

i wouldn't worry to much about having someone get them. I thought the black and white cap from last year was going to be hard to come by but it turns out they're being sold on ebay for original price. I wasn't able to buy one at sdcc 09 but later I got the four pack invasion set for under $30. I'm trying to find someone going to SDCC to get me the exclusive marvel universe figures.

I worry because it seems these figures are getting hotter. The Fury exclusive is going for around 50-75 on eBay & the new wave with warpath and Jean grey has those 2 going for 30-40 each. It's getting harder to be a regular collector.

Fury wasn't really a sdcc exclusive. as for jean and warpath i just searched them up on ebay and a lot are starting off at $9.99 cheap. Also I purchased the same figures for a friend a month ago. I got them both plus a few others mint for under $40. believe me when i say that doing a little hard searching can pay off big. plus looking for them is always fun. at least i think so.

I know the Fury was a marvel exclusive, but still, you only had to pay $25 or so to get him. A guy on another board said he wanted $100 for Fury and I was in shock. Ridiculous. I'm going to have to keep hinting for Grey & Warpath, and hope I can get on hasbro toy shop at the right time after SDCC to get the exclusives.

I remember seeing that the Nick Fury figure was actually sold at Toysrus overseas. People would post how they bought them for like $20.

I havent seen Wave 3 2010 in stores and I am afraid most of those figures will end up in scalperville once they arrive. Also, is there any news on the TRU Exclusive Marvel Legends 2-packs coming soon?

word is nothing is going to be released until way after comic con. i remember talking to one of the guy displaying the marvel figures at last years event. he turned out to be a lead designer for the figures and i asked him why the long wait for the legends lines? he began telling me that the company's thoughts on that line were that fans had lost interest and didn't want them anymore. rather preferring the 3 3/4's scale toys. i looked at him like he was crazy and told him that not only was that not true but that the last few waves that came out that year such as the red hulk, planet hulk and so on were always sold out at my local stores. i think hasbro is just trying very hard to make fans forget about the line. putting out less and less each year until finally people get tired of asking when they will see them again.

Smaller figures are cheaper to make.
