I just recently picked up the Avengers Assemble Red Skull. It's an amazing figure and now I'm confident that the AA line will be an adequate replacement of MU. If this means more stores will be stocking them, then I'm all for it. My only complaint is that there are no ankle joints, not really a big deal but I have a hard time standing him up and the holes in his boots don't are really loose on the old MU stands so it doesn't really help. My other gripe is the stupid gimmicky weapons they come with other than that they are really good figures especially Skull. Now I can't wait for The Leader's figure. Once I get him I'll have pretty much all the main heroes arch-enemies.
So far I have:
Captain America vs. Red Skull
Thor vs. Loki
Iron Man vs. Mandarin
Hulk vs. The Leader (soon)
Spider-Man vs. Green Goblin
X-Men vs. Magneto
Fantastic Four vs. Dr. Doom
Daredevil vs. Bullseye (adequate replacement for Kingpin)
Silver Surfer vs. Galactus
Black Panther vs. Claw
The Guardians of the Galaxy vs. Thanos
So now I really just need Jigsaw for the Punisher, Mephisto for Ghost Rider, Baron Mordo for Dr. Strange, Dr. Egghead for Ant-Man and unless I'm missing someone I think that's it for now. I can't wait to see future lineups of the AA line.

Got pics to show us? Anyone know when the Jubilee wave is out as well? I want to take pics of my entire collection, I've just been really lazy. I should definitely get around to doing it though. The Jubilee wave came out late 2012 early 2013 I believe. |

Pretty badass wave to end the ML line before it becomes movie-specific. |

I'm not sure when that wave is coming out. I still haven't even completed Waves 1 - 3 and haven't even touched wave 4.  |

Over here in the Uk they're becoming impossible to get for a decent price, some costing more than $30. Really tough to find some older figures, so I'm getting the newer releases early to not miss out like I did with Archangel. Would kill to own that m'fer |

I can barely afford their outrageous prices as it is, never mind having to pay $30. Is Archangel really hard to find? That's a figure I really wanted too but haven't seen it once. Now I remember why I stopped collecting the original Toybiz ML. I was unable to complete any of the waves because certain figures were impossible to find and I got discouraged and stopped collecting. I even sold the figures I had, which I'm kicking myself for now. But anyway, it's happening all over again with the new series, it's ridiculous how awful the distribution for these are. |

Yeah, it's way worse over here. First of all you barely get them in retail, with no announcements of them being in. There could be new stock in some small chained specialist stores, then boom the next day not a single trace because they're snapped up. From there it's comic book shops or online. The market is now perfect for scalpers/traders who get a boat load in, sell them for premium prices because of the name MARVEL LEGENDS. Ebay is ridiculous because any figure people have, they think is worth a lot so they up their prices without reason. People accept it and buy them, so the market is over-inflated because of collectors. Archangel the cheapest I could find on ebay is over $44 plus shipping. It makes me cringe. I'm not giving up in my collecting, and would sell my wrestling collection over ML anyday, but now as you say the distribution is poor (worse over here) and the prices mean I have to cherry pick the ones I've already cherry-picked. Man I wish I lived in the States, you have it easy!! |

recent additions on the Marvel end of things for me include
ML Wrecker and Jean Grey
MU:Jubilee,Hercules & Nova
HUGELY pleased with all of them.although if Hasbro f*ck up with the Wrecker/Bulldozer variant situation I may in fact go insane..Im still eagerly awaiting Moonstar & Blade like...
love collecting the MU X-Figures.they go so well with the 14" Sentinel from the 90s(which I have 3 of).
the 90s X figures were awesome.I was just admiring the Holocaust figure the other day.still effin awesome.

 Just came in the mail. Really like this figure of course one of his swords wasn't packaged ughhh..but not too big of a deal as I rather display him with him his guns..and I have his sais on his back holders. His stand is really amazing as well. Articulation is pretty iffy but I just stand them there I don't do dynamic poses. Just waiting on my Juggernaut I know that figure is gonna blow me away. From the reviews and pics I have seen that is one amazing figure. |

Yeah def dig him out and display him hes awesome. And look what came in the mail today!  This Juggernaut is just amazing..the size, detail, heaviness and the fact it cost like 20 bucks. Can't recommend this figure enough if you don't have this guy buy him. Hes standing next to the play arts Batman which is a little over 9 inches tall..so it just shows you how huge this figure is. |

was there ever a Howard the Duck figure made? I think there was. For some reason that stands out in my memory. (unless by mind is playing tricks on me. lol) And I didn't buy any bit today I saw 3.75" figures for the upcoming Thor movie on the pegs of TRU. They looked to be articulated like the past movie figures and not like the new limited articulated Avengers. |
