Well, TRU is dicking us around again. They've pushed back the ML 7 shipping date of September 20th, to October 1st. Being the dumb sap I am, I'm going to give the chain stores a look tomorrow, and maybe get lucky. KAM, you know when the UK is getting them? Everytime I say I'm going to cut back I always find the rare-rarish figures. I found Carnage today and should be getting Phoenix and Deadpool next week. Almost time to take pics of my collection I think. Its getting a nice size. That or I'll wait till Christmas when I should get a few. |

Toybiz ships things in such an odd way, that you'll get them a month ahead of us like ML 6, or get them a month after us like ML 5. But I think it's safe to say you can look around Christmas. |

Saw this on the Fwoosh, and thought I'd post it here. cgi.EBAY LINK NOT ALLOWED/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=2481&item=5921968600&rd=1 Oh yes...Scorpion. Thank God there's something in SMC worth collecting. He'll probably be in the states by Halloween, and then everyone can be on their way to collecting the real Sinister Six. |

I'm counting in my head but coming up one short...I know they';re not the sinister 5, but the 6th escapes me. |

You'd of thought he'd of been in the first set or two seeing as he was like Spider-Man's villian... BAH! What am I complaining about, its rock hard to find Spider villians in store anywhere. Why moan about making one just so I can't find it lol  |

We still need Mysterio, too. So far, all we have is Kraven, Hobgoblin (Kraven's replacement), Electro and a crappy Doc Ock. We'll be getting Mysterio, Sandman and a good Doc Ock within the next six months or so, so they only need to announce the release of the inevitable super-artuclated Vulture.

So I decided to stop by my local TRU today. Since it was Monday, I didn't expect to find much, but I had time to kill. I got to the Marvel Legends aisle, 1 Cable, 4 Wolvies, 3 Punishers nothing new. I noticed an employee heading down the aisle, so I asked him if they had anymore. He asked who I was looking for, and I told him that I needed Juggernaut and Deadpool. He said he'd check, and told me to sit tight. About five minutes later, he comes around the corner, with a sealed case. Naturally, my jaw dropped, as I thought my collecting dry spell had ended. He opened up the case, and my heart sunk a little. Wolvie, Punisher, Juggernaut, Cable. No Deadpool, no Phoenix. The employee left me the case, and told me to take my time. I grabbed the Juggernaut I needed, thanked the employee for helping me, and headed for the register.
I'm glad that there are some courteous TRU employees, and I'm glad I got Juggernaut. But I can't help but wonder if someone picked over the case, and resealed it, or if it was just an odd ratio.

vulture and mysterio...ok. I'm surprised we haven't seen a vulture yet.
ML8 Doc Ock will replace that crappy @$$ S6 figure.

ML8 Ock looks so damn good, it blows S6 Ock out of the water. It does look good... but £8 for another Doc Ock cause he's taller? If the arms had been sorted so they don't droop after a few hours maybe, other wise I don't see many people buying it so soon after S6. |

The one that came in the set is sheer and utter crap. Plus, Doc is an iconic Spidey villain, kids will want him. You also gotta figure we won't see series 8 until early next year. Late this year at the earliest. |

Odd as I thought it'd be longer but I guess its a sign Series 7 might be out sooner then expected. |

Eh....Prozac can probably back me up on this one. Based on one area report, and a couple Ebay auctions, ML 7 will be in October. If Crimson lives in the UK, and he's getting Apocalypse in 28 days, I think it's a good idea for North Americans to get some cash set aside soon.

I thought it was October as well after asking around, guess UK might be getting them early. Who knows? So, to start a bit of discussion would you like to see Toybiz do in future lines? (Spider-Man, Legends, X-Men (is that still going) etc.) I'd love too see: Vulture Spider-Woman II Archangle (Not metal wings and blue skin) I have no doubt we'll see a Mystique (sp?) and a Shadowcat sometime. |

Well, they're relaunching Marvel Legends, so that might mean some changes to the characters we get.
I'd like to see Kingpin in SMC, a boxed set of the unreleased HC 3 figures (Maestro!), Thanos in ML, a new Lizard in SMC, and rotocast Galactus.

We got ML 6 way before US, I know this as I got Pool & Punisher in a trade about a month & a half before US. I got them in a trade so they came out about 2 months before US. |
